This review is from: Delonghi 8 Cup Automatic Drip Coffee w/ thermal carafe ( DC77TC ) (Kitchen)

This product is perfect in almost every way. I wanted a cone shaped filter, stainless steel carafe and a sturdy filter holding mechanism (crumby ones start to hang crookedly and vent steam as they age). The price was great and I didn't want unnecessary features (timer, grinder, clock, autostart or auto off).

My only gripe, and the reason it didn't get 5-stars, is the plastic filter door latch mechanism. I have two of these coffee makers (same model) and the latch broke on each of them within a year or so of purchase. But I like the coffee makers so much that I bought a couple of large adjustable dog collars and use them to keep the filter door closed (if you get black it's not so noticeable). Definitely a design flaw, though I don't know if a spring steel latch would've been feasible or not.

I will probably buy the same model for replacements as long as they continue to make them.
