Customer Review: Worst coffee maker to date
Summary: 1 Stars
I've been through several coffee makers in my life...this is the worst. I am also big into cone filters, as IMHO they make a better cup of cofffee. It does not leak when pouring as savagely as the Krups I have owned, but makes around 10 cups of coffee and then shuts down from dripping while there is still coffee in the basket where you put the coffee. I have reduced and reduced the amount of coffee I have put in the basket, have switched from the included gold filter to paper filters, have tried using warm instead of cold water when making coffee...anything I could think of.
Nonetheless, it defies my attempts at making a pot of coffee without making a mess. The basket has a life of it's own, and I have witness it pop itself out from the machine and need to be pushed back in lest the "pause and drip" feature (which, in this model, is the "pause and pour coffee on the warming plate" feature) spill even further coffee around.
The main problems I've had in coffee makers in the past have been messy pouring from the carafe (especially in the Krups brand), though I had a wonderful KitchenAid that finally gave up on me after a several years. Its sole annoying feature was a charcoal water filter on the inside of the water tank that had to be replaced every so often. Looking back, that was a great joy compared to the faults I have been experiencing using my DeLonghi. I tried the programmable feature a few times until I got sick of waking up to a mess of sloppy grounds and coffee all over my countertop.
The "aroma" feature just lets the coffee sit in the basket for longer, which makes any chance of a mess much more likely. Thanks! I really don't know what they were thinking when they made this coffee maker. Rather than wear out, I am probably going to retire it to the dumpster long before it's time. I wouldn't dare even give it away, as I would face certain animosity from any party I gave it to...
Description of DELONGHI 12cup COFFEEMAKR PRGRMBL. GLASS CARAFE
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: 12-CUP CAPACITY. STAINLESS STEEL DETAILS On swing-out basket. DIGITAL PROGRAMMABLE TIMER WITH 2-HOUR AUTO SHUT-OFF Just set the timer the night before, so you can wake up to the smell of fresh-brewed coffeeÂ...every morning! And the coffee maker automatically shuts off after two hours. SHOWER HEAD DESIGN Helps to extract your coffee's full, natural flavor by allowing water to completely saturate all coffee grounds. AROMA BUTTON activates a unique brewing process that enhances the flavor and aroma of your coffee. To achieve this full-bodied flavor, the coffee maker advances through several continuous cycles. During the cycles, water is released into the filter basket in 30-second intervals. This special time-released process saturates grounds a little at a time to extract the best flavor and aroma from your coffee. SWING-AWAY FILTER BASKET WITH PERMANENT FILTER Swing open the filter basket for quick removal of the permanent gold-tone filter. PAUSE AND SERVE FUNCTION allows you to interrupt the brewing cycle and pour a cup of coffee. NON-STICK WARMING PLATE Keeps coffee hot after brewing is complete and makes cleanup a breeze. WATER LEVEL INDICATOR lets you know when the unit needs refilling. CORD STORAGE Keeps power cord out of harm's way when coffee maker is not in use.Drip Coffee Machines
