5 Stars Fragrant, Rich, Smooth Jamaican Blue Mtn blend Coffee
This is my favorite coffee with it’s charming fragrance and delicious rich smooth flavor. I use less of the coffee beans compared with my previous coffee blend (previous favorite) since this coffee is much richer and fuller bodied and smooth than any coffee I drank before. I ordered four pounds for this month already. I usually make real Espresso (pump) coffee with my Gaggia machine; but I have been using the drip method (burr grinder) since I wanted to try it out first. It is wonderful tasting just plain without milk or anything added. I did try it with milk too and it tasted good; but I prefer to drink it plain so I can taste the flavors.

5 Stars wow almost perfect

5 Stars GREAT COFFEE MAKER
THIS COFFEE MAKER WORKS GREAT. I’VE HAD IT ABOUT 4 MO. NOW. IT IS VERY EASY TO OPERATE AND LOOKS GREAT. THE BLACK AND STAINLESS LOOK WORKS OUT FINE IN ANY KITCHEN. IT’S A REAL NICE COFFEE MAKER.

5 Stars I Love Mine
We’ve had percolator coffee makers for the last several years, but after trying to get the last three ~$50 percs to last more than a year, we gave up. We bought this HB coffee maker based on reviews here and elsewhere and have been very pleased with it. The timer works great for us. The pot hasn’t dripped or leaked a drop unlike a B&D model we had. The coffee still tastes great after 6 months use and we love it. We have recommended it to friends.

5 Stars A forty dollar coffee maker
I’d been shopping for a coffee maker for a while and when you read a bunch of reviews they all seem to blend together. You can get a fancy expensive coffee maker and hope it will last 5 years or get a $40 one that does what you need for 5 years.

This is the maker that will do what you need. It makes about a cup of coffee each minute. The carafe is wide bottomed so it sits very well under the brew basket. I think it keeps the coffee hotter to because more of the carafe sits on the burner. I passed on round carafes because they seemed to wobble when they sat on the burner and people complained that those makers tended to leak during the brew cycle because the carafe was not properly aligned with the brew basket. You won’t have that problem with this maker. You do need to make sure that when you are filling the water reservoir you pour the water right into the hole. If you miss, and you will a few times, the water runs right to the burner area through a gap between the brew basket and the space where the basket sits. The brew basket fits snuggly and is easy to change and clean. I’ve had this maker for 6 months without any problems. I brew one 5 cup pot a day.

4 Stars for a cheap coffee maker it’s great
I paid [...] bucks for this machine at Target (it was on sale). I melted the cord of my old Mr. Coffee. My old coffee maker required that I microwave the coffee not long after I poured it. This machine makes coffee nice and HOT! Just that fact makes a much better cup of coffee! One could go and pay [...] bucks for some fancy machine but for the price this machine does the job! Also, I’ve never had a coffee maker that you could set to automatically brew and I have to say that feature made me very happy this morning when I woke up and had piping hot coffee awaiting me…

Maybe I’m used to having cheap coffee makers so whatever flaws people are talking about I haven’t noticed.

1 Star Smelly and loud coffee
This thing must be made of inferior plastic; the coffee it produces stinks and tastes of petroleum. My wife wouldn’t take a second sip.

What drove me crazy was the surprisingly loud clicking sound coming from the hot plate after brewing. My guess is that it is the switch controlling the heating mechanism, flipping on and off at irregular intervals to control the temperature of the coffee. It’s impossible to ignore once you are aware of it.

1 Star One start is an overstatement
I have probably used the coffemaker no more than 20 times; the coffee tasted great. Then it began to leak around the bottom. This morning, after putting in 6 cups of water and mopping 5 cups off my counter I decided to see if I could find a solution on line. Having read various complaints not only about the leaking problem but about DeLonghi’s customer service I decided to toss the thing in the garbage. I will never buy another DeLonghi product.

1 Star Short-lived — it’s a lemon
After reading other reviews, I purchased this machine about 18 months ago. As others mentioned, in the beginning it worked great. Steaming milk for a latte was simple. My real need was a programmable coffeemaker with auto-shutoff. It made great coffee for about a year, needing descaling only twice. Then I noticed that it was not soaking all the grinds, and the descaling warning lit more often. The steamer didn’t work, either, and last weekend the coffee side stopped working. Now I’m left with an expensive, oversized espresso machine.

2 Stars ALMOST a great product
I’ve had this machine for about 18 months and while looking for a new machine, figured I should review this one.

This machine has everything I want, makes great coffee and espresso – but it leaks. I read through reviews here and elsewhere, and it seems to be a design flaw in this and other similar models. I have to wipe up the puddle of water with every pot of drip coffee that I make.

Now I’m trying to find a machine that does what this one does, but doesn’t leak!

5 Stars Loving my coffee!
I really enjoy this multi functional machine! It’s the perfect combination of espresso for me and coffee for my husband. Also the frothed milk function is lovely for a warm latte during relaxing week ends. Just be sure to clean the frother every time you use it, but it’s easy and no time consumig!

Another great function of this machine is the programmable timing… I wake up in the morning and my coffee is ready and hot to go!

5 Stars GREAT!!!!
This Coffee/Espresso combo makes better coffee than most coffee shops I’ve been to. Easy to use, easy to clean, works fast.
