Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Delonghi BCO264B Cafe Nero Combo Coffee and Espresso MakerCustomer Review: Love it! Summary: 5 Stars
After owning this coffeemaker for three months, I feel compelled to give a review in light of all the negative ones. I've had no problems with this machine. It makes excellent espresso, coffee, and cappuccino. I chose this model because I like an espresso in the morning, an occasional cappuccino, and I wanted a machine that served both my daily needs as a single person and one that would work when I had company. I did not want two separate machines cluttering my counter. I have an espresso every morning and I make a pot of coffee at least once a week. I do recommend that you purchase the correct grind of coffee to get the crema you desire for espresso--I use Illy ground espresso coffee or the Illy moka coffee and various drip grinds for regular coffee. The grind is important. I love not having to worry with paper filters and the gold filter is so easy to clean. I find the espresso filter easy to put in place contrary to another review. I certainly never wait 30 minutes for my morning coffee--5 minutes tops. Lastly, when it comes to coffee, I would prefer to pay for good coffee (function) over looks (form)--although I certainly do not consider this an unattractive unit. It is not stainless steel; it is an everyday coffeemaker and much more attractive than the standard white plastic models that are so prolific at that. If you want stainless steel, go for it and pay more. If your priority is great coffee, espresso, and cappuccino, go for Cafe Nero Combo.
Description of Delonghi BCO264B Cafe Nero Combo Coffee and Espresso MakerIdeal for entertaining or family parties, the De'Longhi Combination Drip Coffee, Espresso, Cappuccino and Latte Machine delivers delicious coffee beveages with ease. Perfect for the morning or after a meal, the three-in-one machine prepares delectable cappuccinos and lattes with the easy-to-use Swivel Jet frother. If you prefer traditional drip coffee, it can easily brew that too into a large 10-c up carafe. It's the perfect fit for any coffee drinker, no matter what their preference. For coffee just the way you like it, use the Accuflavor selector dial to choose your ideal coffee strength. 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. Other highlights include easy-to-clean non-stick warming plate, removable water tank, and pause and serve function, so you can enjoy a cup before the full pot is brewed. Enjoy coffee for years to come with the De'Longhi Combination Drip Coffee, Espresso, Cappuccino and Latte Machine. It?s easy to offer guests or family members a choice of drip coffee or an espresso drink with this combination coffee/espresso maker. The Caffé Nero has separate controls and water tanks for each function, so you can brew drip coffee and espresso simultaneously. The coffee side has a patented Flavor Savor brewing system that fully saturates grounds and lets them steep for a while to draw out rich coffee flavors. A permanent gold-tone filter keeps even the finest grounds from sneaking through to a coffee cup and eliminates the need for buying paper filters. Using the dial on the top of the coffeemaker, you can adjust the coffee?s strength to personal preference. A separate button lets you choose between brewing 5 cups or less or from 6 to 10 cups and alters the heating element accordingly so smaller pots never taste burnt or overheated. The drip coffee side also has a 24-hour programmable timer that can be set each night to brew first thing in the morning and a "drip interrupt" feature, so you can pour a cup before the full pot is brewed. Coffee remains hot in the 10-cup glass carafe due to the Caffé Nero?s nonstick warming plate. The espresso function starts up quickly without much advanced preparation and has two filter holders--one that uses ground espresso and another that uses coffee pods. The pod filter holder has a unique design that securely holds pods in place and makes disposal easy with a single touch of a button. The patented ground espresso filter improves upon the brewing process, which means espresso drinks always have a perfect crema. Cappuccino and latté lovers will be pleased with the exclusive chamber that mixes steam and milk into a delicious, creamy froth. The espresso maker has a stainless-steel boiler for durability and a removable spill tray for easy cleaning. DeLonghi offers a one-year limited warranty on defects in materials and workmanship for this two-in-one espresso/coffee machine. --Cristina Vaamonde
