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 is measured out and put on top of the filter 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...

...Replaced old machine with this one. So pleased with it's look in the kitchen that I bought the toaster and kettle to match! After two or three days coffee was spilling when pouring - could see that the plastic lid was not sealed to the glass jug properly. Took back to John Lewis who replaced it - no problem. Got new one home - same again. Thought I'd ring DeLonghi - 'not covered for glass jug - would you like to buy another?' Reply - 'think it's a bad batch of jugs - somebody may be scalded - had this one one day, previous machine a couple of days'. Explained I'm not trying to claim under guarantee but for a machine not fit for purpose. Got nowhere - took it back to John Lewis. They offered refund or replacement. Opted for replacement after very nice lady tested one for an hour. OK for a couple of weeks - same problem... Read review
