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 sides so you can see how much water you have put in the compartment. At the front you have the thermostatic hot plate where you can put the glass jug on. Also at the front you will find the permanent filter which is washable. I normally use paper filters for making coffee since I always notice that little bit of the coffee powder gets trough in the coffeepot. So just to be sure I use the paper filter. Further on the coffee machine has a turn on/off button and a light where you can see when it's on or not.

There's really nothing fancy about this coffee machine but it works and that's the most important part and it looks quiet stylish. I like the colour black and it suits with my other kitchen appliances. The coffee machine comes with a instruction book but it's not really necessary. It's more about cleaning the machine and what you need to do when facing problems. Since you can put almost every part in the dishwasher (except for main part) it's very easy to clean.

The most important is how's the coffee? Very important because you can't adjust anything on the device, so you decide how strong your coffee is by the amount of coffee you put in the filter. Very simple, but you should have it as well. I like strong coffee and throw a spoon full easily per cup. Everyone has their own way. But it is important that the coffee tastes good. The coffee is nice and hot, so you should leave the coffee just before you drink it. Perfect! Because with my last coffee machine the coffee wasn't that hot.

A simple but very good coffee machine and just the way I like it. The coffee is nice and hot and tastes very good. Cleaning is very easy and using it is no problem. Since the coffee machine comes under 20 pounds, it's definitely a good buy!
