Delonghi ICM15210.1 900 Watts 1.2 Litres Filter Coffee Machine Maker in Black

A simple, straightforward and good value machine which makes good coffee. It has a number of improvements over the earlier model which I had previously: it is easier to fill with water (and the front facing window makes it easier to see how much water is in the machine). The swing out filter holder is easy to use - and easy to remove for cleaning. I also like the fact that the machine switches off automatically after 40 minutes - no risk of leaving stewed coffee inside the hot flask or burning a drain of coffee left in the bottom. The only thing that disappoints me is that they do not provide a permanent filter, although I recognise that disposable filters are easy to use and clean out.

Easy to use, simple coffee maker. Design is classic clunky which makes it feel extra old school in the world of modern sleek coffee makers. Surely there must be a way to make this more aesthetically with the times while maintaining functionality?

I'm not a fan of coffee pod machines and have loyally used my stove top Bialetti for years, however cleaning and maintenance has become a bit of a nuisance so I've been toying with buying something else for a while. I couldn't believe the prices out there for coffee machines! I stumbled across this one and thought because of the price it must be refurbished. After reading the reviews below i thought id take a chance, and i'm very glad i did. There are no gimmicks or smart features, all you do is add a filter, finely ground coffee and water. Its a great starter machine, i love it.

We have always found that Delonghi coffee machines have been reliable, good quality, and make an excellent cup of coffee. BUT, not this model. It is made of cheap lightweight plastic, and is very flimsy. The filter paper often collapses under the force of the hot water entering the filter holder. The coffee grounds are easily splashed down the sides of the filter paper and end up in the coffee jug. The hot water passes through so quickly that much of the flavour, particularly the more subtle flavours, never appear in the resulting drink, which can be quite bland. A very disappointing filter machine, not up to Delonghi's previous standards.

This is a good and very simple machine, easy to use and makes a nice filtered brew. Problem is that after a long time of functioning perfectly it started doing nothing when the switch was pressed and needing a jolt to make it work. This has got steadily worse until it needs considerable "beating up" before it starts to function. Our current example is the second to exhibit this behaviour. Assume it's down to a dodgy connection or component on the circuit board, but the fasteners are of an unusual design for which I don't have a driver, so I can't look inside to check. Because the machine is reasonably-priced and simple, I've just at time of this review ordered a third. But if the new one goes the same way, we'll look elsewhere next time.

It's simple, seems to be not expensive. You put coffee and water in and a hot drink comes out, there's not much else it needs to do. OK, so it switches off after 40 minutes but it appears lawmakers have decreed that in case we burn ourselves - or something. I load mine at night and all I have to do in the morning is press a button, so no need for timers and so on.
