Advantages: Pretty quick, makes a gorgeous coffee
Disadvantages: requires a lot of cleaning

Well, i had the DC300 bought me as a present from Argos i think, because i am a coffee lover and wasnted a good one, with a good name. well my aunt was right by buying a Delonghi, it is made of really tough plastic, it still goes strong although its been boxed cos i got no-where to put it, only having a small kitchen. all you need to do is put in your ground coffee and water, push the button, wait a 'few' mins (bout 4-5) and the water starts dripping ...
...is that it requires alot of cleaning, and you know how hard milk is to remove especially when rock hard! other than that though it is a brill machine makes a great cuppa, and i found instead of coffee in the filter part you can make a mean cup of tea! ... Read review

Advantages: choice of strong or weak coffee
Disadvantages: Had a poor feel about it - cheap plastic feel

I bought this for a present for my husband and was duly disappointed by the cheap feel the machine had. When it worked it worked well. There is a choice of strong or weak coffee (my moving a very cheap, plastic lever). The coffee it produced was very nice and not at all bitter. The shape of the coffee jug made it difficult to pour water into the back of the machine, or to pour coffee into a cup without spilling some. It lasted approximately 8 months ... Read review

Advantages: Ease of Use, inexpensive
Disadvantages: no cord storage

Bought this from Homebase For £12.99. Its available in Black or white, it is basic its only function button being the on/off button on the front,although there is a more expensive model which has auto timer if needed. It has a permanent washable filter which is handy and also a money saver. It makes at least 10 decent mug sizes of coffee and keeps it adequately hot. The water filter runs around the rear of the filter and has transparent sides and ... Read review

Advantages: makes lovely coffee quickly - cheap - makes up to 10 cups
Disadvantages: bulky

I bought my Delonghi ICM2B for £25 from Comet rather than pay £300+ for a coffee machine with more technology than NASA. I have a serious addiction to caffeine and without it cannot function at all first thing in the morning so I needed a cheap and quick no frills coffee maker and I got it with this beast. EASE OF USE It is a doddle to use the coffee maker. Filter papers are inserted into the top section that swings out to make it easier - coffee ...
...and the water reserved is topped up with water - The water line is marked off with the number of cups the machine will make - The maximum being 10. Once the above has been done you are ready to roll and the power switch is flicked on and the water starts to warm - bubbling and quiet gurgling sounds as it makes its way up from the reserve and into the filter containing the coffee - Within 60 seconds the piping hot coffee is making it's way into the ...

Advantages: Makes the coffee pretty quickly, and keeps it hot, and the looks are good.
Disadvantages: Jug leaks, price

Have had this coffee machine for about 18 months now, and as the last reviewer said, the lid of my jug came off after only a few days. Never been near a dishwasher but was unable to get it replaced by De Longhi. After a few months water also began to appear from underneath the machine, but I perserved with it, becauses it does make very nice coffee! It has a control for making your coffee lighter or darker, and after many experiments could see that ...
...I like it strong so was happy. The removable water jug with descaler was awkward as the centre section would float about and had to be pushed in. Unfortunately I purchased on looks and on the basis that the manufacturer was well known and reliable. I would not recommend this to anyone, and really wish I had got my act together and returned it when the jug began to leak. ... Read review
