2.0 out of 5 stars Not so great, November 18, 2004

By	1000 pages (Richmond, VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: DeLonghi DC50B Twenty Four Seven Drip Coffee Maker, Black (Kitchen)

Initially, I liked this coffee maker well enough. The reuseable filter is a plus, and the coffee tastes good. But two characteristics make this one a loser:
1. The coffee gets way too hot if it sits on the warmer longer than 20 minutes; and more importantly,
2. The removable lever that allows the pause and serve feature to work is unreliable. It occasionally gets stuck and blocks the opening so that when brewing a new pot, all the water collects and stays in the basket (until you manually fix the lever). The thing easily pops off, and drives me CRAZY.

I would not buy another DeLonghi coffeemaker.

"If the grind of the beans is too fine, the water backs up in the filter after the brew should be completed." Yes, but I bet you can figure out how to solve this problem!

I also agree that the carafe design allows too much spillage, but I figured out how to solve that the first time I used it. Just pour slower.

As for the comment that the pause & stop lever is unreliable, I don't know. I have no trouble waiting the 3 minutes it takes to finish.

The important feature is this: The coffee made with this and the Capresso conical burr grinder I use tastes great. Really great. The temperature is just right. No knobs, buttons, dials to figure out. Put in the beans, put in the water, hit switch. Very '50's, very effective.

It would be nice if it shut off after an hour or so, but I can live with that too, for $20.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not As Good As The Old One - Delonghi 4 Cup Coffee Maker, January 29, 2006

By	Steven R. Brant "Serious Coffee Drinker" (Klamath Falls, OR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: DeLonghi DC50B Twenty Four Seven Drip Coffee Maker, Black (Kitchen)

The new Delonghi 4 cup I just bought is not as good as the old one I had. The new design is harder to fill and use. The new pot is hard to pour without dripping all over the counter. Why did they change the design? Sometimes new doesn't mean better.
