Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of DeLonghi DCF2212T 12-Cup Glass Carafe Drip Coffee Maker, Black
Customer Review: Nice features, but....
Summary: 3 Stars
I really like the front access for filling the water reservoir and the coffee filter. The aroma option indeed improves the flavor of the coffee, and the unit does make a better pot of brew than my old coffeemaker. But I have three complaints, and it seems they're simple, inexpensive features that would've earned this machine 4 or 5 stars.
First, the water level indicator ideally needs to be backlit. As a mediocre alternative, Delonghi could've used clear plastic so you could actually see the water level. As is, it's very difficult to see the level without shining a light directly on the indicator. Rather than going to the trouble, it's slightly easier to add a step to the process & fill the carafe with the quantity of water needed & pour it in the unit (otherwise, I'd pour directly from my Brita pitcher into the unit).
Second, the clock is unlit, which makes it almost worthless unless you're standing closer than 2 feet from the unit. My old 29.99 Mr. Coffee's clock was far superior. Shame.
Third, also related to the clock, setting the time or the automatic start timer is very cumbersome. Besides being hard to see the clock itself, to set the time, you have to hold the time set button as it ticks off each minute until reaching your desired time. So, for example, this morning I wanted the coffee to start brewing at 6:00, but tomorrow, I want it to begin at 5:45. I have to hold the button down until it scrolls for 23 3/4 hours! Again, my cheap old Mr. Coffee was far simpler with its "hour" and "minute" buttons.
When all is said & done, I like the machine because it makes good coffee...but with these simple additional features, I'd love it.
Description of DeLonghi DCF2212T 12-Cup Glass Carafe Drip Coffee Maker, Black
Are you tired of having to move your coffee maker in the morning to just add water and fill it with coffee? Never move your coffee maker again with the De'Longhi 12-Cup Drip Coffee Maker with Complete Front Access. Simply pull the handle on the front of the machine, and easily access the water channel and coffee filter. Once the coffee maker is ready to go, select the Aroma button if you prefer a more full bodied brew. It time-releases water to saturate coffee grounds a little at a time to extract a fuller flavor. To ensure the best flavor, the durable and long lasting gold-tone filter is specially designed to keep even the finest grounds out of your coffee. And there's nothing better than waking up to the aroma of fresh-brewed coffee in the morning. Use the 24-hour digital timer to program the precise moment you want to enjoy your morning jolt. Perfectly piping hot coffee should be poured into a warm mug for ideal taste and temperature. Take advantage of the built-in cup storage tray for warm, ready-to-use cups. Other highlights include non-stick warming plate, pause and serve, water level indicator and cord storage. Enjoy coffee for years to come.Drip Coffee Machines
