You may have already gathered but I really do like De’longi. It’s not that their filter coffee machines are the best on the market, there are better machines out there, but not at the price that De’longhi are able to sell thier machines.

If you’re a seasoned filtered coffee drinker, if you know the difference between your arabicas and robusta’s, then this machine is probably not for you. But if you are new to filtered coffee and are looking for a cheap filter coffee machine to begin your journey with then this could be for you.

The Pros

Easy to use
Makes surprisingly good coffee!
A hot plate that actually works – you’ll be amazed at hom many don’t

The Cons

There is no getting away from the fact that there is a plasticy smell with this machine. Too many reviews mention this, but there are no reports of the smell tainting the taste of the coffee.
When pouring water into the water tank you may need to use a tea towel or something to stop water dripping. But this is only a minor inconveinience.

Overall Verdict 4/5

So, this machine is not going to set the coffee world on fire, but it is so reasonably priced that it it may just light the touchpaper for someone’s new journey into the joy of filtered coffee.
