Summary: Thermal is worth while 2006-11-13
Comment: The coffee flavor is very good, if you use good coffee. I have read of complaints with the aroma button, but I have never used it. The coffee over flowing, a complaint with other coffee makers, is a matter of learning how to put the basket in properly. The coffee only stays warm after the initial hour or so, which is my complaint. Having a thermal caraf is the only way to go in my opinion. No more acid tasting coffee.

Summary: DeLonghi DC55TC - Not Worth Your Beans 2005-03-08
Comment: I have had this machine for about a year and a half and feel I could give an honest review. As a review reader when searching for products for my home, I feel this coffee maker is not worth my beans. I like to read reviews on products before I buy them so I know I am not wasting my money.
For starters, this is a nice looking machine, sleek and sophisicated. But that's not what it's all about. It's the brewing, taste and temperature of the coffee.
This maker takes a #4 cone shaped filter, It comes with a gold mesh filter but that leaves coffee sediment in the coffee. It also has a nice 10 cup stainless steel carafe.
As far as the maker itself and the taste of the coffee, I find this machine is not worth my beans, Starbucks, that is. I do grind my own for a fresh taste.
The coffee maker has many flaws. One is the filter basket. After you put in your coffee grinds and close it, it sometimes unsnaps or drops down from the holder, thus when the water drips into filter through the grinds it stays there and overflows. When you open the filter basket, it's full of water and leaks all over. This has happened many times. Even after you snap it back up, the coffee drips into the carafe opening too fast, that it spills over and what coffee does get into the carafe will have floating grinds in it.
We find that the coffee is also not that hot. After you add a little creamer, it's luke warm at best. The carafe does not keep the coffee hot after any period of time. My husband and I get up at different times. If his is semi-hot, by the time I get up 30 minutes later, it's luke warm. He usually nukes his coffee to get it hotter. You shouldn't have to nuk your coffee, especially if it was just brewed. It doesn't really even make that great of a tasting coffee, even when you use an excellent brand such as Starbucks.
I would NOT recommend this maker. My girlfriend liked it's looks and asked about it, I told her to find a different one, it wasn't worth the money.
I have been looking for a new one and will put this one in the garage sale.
Hope this was helpful.
