Summary: great to Bad
Comments: DeLonghi Esclusivo DCM485 10-Cup Thermal Carafe and Coffeemaker, Brushed Stainless Steel
We purchased our 1st DeLonghi DCM485 a couple years ago. Loved it. When it failed we tried to get it repaired. We found the same as others no parts for versions made in the Peoples Republic of China. We decided to purchase a replacement. After looking in all the right stores we found that no1was carrying this version (Strike 1). Went to the internet and read the mixed reviews and purchased it anyway (Strike 2). Received the coffe pot and immediately cleaned and set it up. 1st pot we had coffee and grounds all over the counter the same as the reviews (strike 3). I took changed out parts with the old coffee maker in an effort to figure out what had changed with no luck. We have contiued to try different things and have settled into cleaning up the mess e other pot of coffee. This morning we gave up and decided to purchase a different brand. |

Summary: Ebody says it leaks...
Comments: So, it was a Gold Box special and refurbished, so I figured that they would have fixed the leak issue. It still leaks. I am disappointed, however that's what I get for ignoring the reviews. |

Summary: TRUST ME: OVERFLOWS AND DEFECTIVE DESIGN!!
Comments: purchased and kept for appears, however after a year of experimenting with modifications to prevent the constant overflows, I JUST THREW THE P.O.S. OUT THE KITCHEN WINDOW!! great riddance. All the reviews are correct; it WILL overflow. It ruined a $250 panel on our white cabinets below it. Search this product on the web and you will see that it has a design flaw; that is why a certain well-known coffee shop stopped selling it in their stores!! however not sure why Amazon continues to sell it. If the carafe is not pushed all the way back (and sometimes when it even is), the coffee will not flow to the carafe and instead goes ewhere with the grinds. I modified the howeverton that the carafe presses by making it stick out farther, however still, once a month I forget to push the carafe all the way in and BINGO, mess all over again. So glad I threw this thing out this morning; going to get a different brand today and put this year of coffee hell behind me. TRUST ME. DeLonghi knows it designed this flaw, however for some reason Amazon, unlike other retailers, is still carrying this defective product. Amazon should do better by us. I am reporting the product to the CPSC in hopes they get a recall out and pull it off the market. Read up on all the online reviews (not just Amazon's), and you too can avoid a year of wasted money and time. No way to start your day. |

Summary: Delonghi Coffee Maker
Comments: THis makes better coffee than almost all coffee makers however is somewhat messy, especially if the grounds flow over which has happened many times to me. The coffee also spills when poured from the carafe if you are not careful. |

Summary: Mixed review
Comments: My DeLonghi DCM 485 worked well for a year and a half, although the comments on the lid are pretty much spot on. The other day, the lid protrusion where you turn the lid broke, rendering the lid totally inoperable, so same with the coffee maker. It made pretty decent coffee and I like the carafe feature. We will see if DeLonghi or Starbucks makes great on this. |
