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 and into the filter containing the coffee - Within 60 seconds the piping hot coffee is making it's way into the glass jug below - Normally I fill the reserve half way and it takes 10 minutes for the jug to fill - obviously this time increases/decreases depending upon how much water has to come through the filter paper and ground coffee.

PERFORMANCE & RESULTS

The taste of the coffee will obviously depend upon the blend you choose but I have never had any problems with the quality or taste of the coffee produced using this machine - it is always piping hot and tastes great.

DURABILITY

The machine is made from plastic and the jug is glass making it fragile - My only niggle with the build is the actual size - it is really bulky and takes up quite a lot of room on the side on my kitchen.

CLEANING

Cleaning is simple - The filter holder can be removed easily and emptied into a bin and the lid of the jug is detachable so you can get your hand intot he jug to clean it properly - there is no build up of skank at the bottom of the jug.

SAFETY

The plate underneath the jug is red hot and I have a few times burnt myself due to carelessness - nothing more - If you can remember that the machine is on and that it's hot there isn't a safety issue - It is wise not to put this anywhere where a small child could pull it off.

Overall I love my coffee maker and I'm very happy with my purchase - Better than a £300 machine anyday
