Delonghi ICM2

Delonghi coffee machine delights : The Need Our house is very often full. I am a music teacher from home so there are pupils plus pupils' taggers on and carers; I have several teenagers of my own so multiply by 4 or 5 more taggers on; my hubby's business means lots of meetings chez nous.... most of which I am convinced are scheduled purely for coffee and cake; plus friends and family members = lots of passing trade! I began married life with a small cafetiere, soon upgraded to a posh espresso-type beast, but found that although this provided me with my extra shot with which to start the day ... more

This is probably a very basic coffee maker to some people but to us it has served us well over the years. We tend to use it just for me when I am in our basement and I have it plugged in down there when I do my artwork, rather than have it in the kitchen where it is very bulky on our kitchen worksurface and a little bit old fashioned looking too if I am honest.

It is very easy and simple to use. Just swing out the ... more

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 ... more

DeLonghi ICM 2 I'm a big coffee drinker and every morning I start with two cups of coffee before I leave the house. Without coffee I simply don't function as well and become very grumpy so you can imagine it's fun when I have run out of coffee! My coffee machine is the DeLonghi ICM 2B that I have been using for quiet a while now. It's a cheap but effective coffee machine that does exactly which is it made for: making coffee. The DeLonghi ICM 2B is a black filter coffee maker for around 10 cups and there's nothing really fancy about it. You have the water compartment which is viewable from both ... more

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 water fill indication levels.A measuring spoon is also provided. It is simple to clean by washing the filter and jug in soapy water, dishwasher not ... more
