Product Description

Ideal for entertaining or family parties, the De'Longhi Combination Drip Coffee, Espresso, Cappuccino and Latte Machine delivers delicious coffee beveages with ease. Perfect for the morning or after a meal, the three-in-one machine prepares delectable cappuccinos and lattes with the easy-to-use Swivel Jet frother. If you prefer traditional drip coffee, it can easily brew that too into a large 10-c up carafe. It's the perfect fit for any coffee drinker, no matter what their preference. For coffee just the way you like it, use the Accuflavor selector dial to choose your ideal coffee strength. And there's nothing better than waking up to the aroma of fresh-brewed coffee in the morning. Use the 24-hour digital timer to program the precise moment you want to enjoy your morning jolt. Other highlights include easy-to-clean non-stick warming plate, removable water tank, and pause and serve function, so you can enjoy a cup before the full pot is brewed. Enjoy coffee for years to come with the De'Longhi Combination Drip Coffee, Espresso, Cappuccino and Latte Machine.

I had originally purchased the Krups version of their fanciest dual machine and it arrived non-functional with a display and buttons that were a little too "Star Trek" for me anyway...in fact, they didn't function at all. The Delonghi Caffe Nero (so far) has been very straighforward, easy to use, and produces good coffee and espresso. The quality of the coffee is moderate-high and I'm impressed with its strength selection system (a simple knob) and the mechanism by which it brews. No bells or whistles to confuse me. I did think initially that the permanent filter might be difficult to clean but not so far. However, the heat resistant coffee pot has an interesting design and a strange top which snaps on somewhat awkwardly and appears vulnerable to breaking but otherwise I have not found any major flaws with this machine as of yet.
