One of the best features is the fully programmable digital timer. Set it for 10 to 15 minutes before you awake to have fresh, hot wonderful coffee first thing in the morning. You could also set it to start during a holiday meal to be ready for dessert or after dinner drinks such as brandy or Gran Marnier, a perfect combination. The programming is simple and intuitive and it has an automatic 2 hour shut off feature. This feature works whether you have the timer set or not; a great safety feature especially in busy and hectic meals and homes.

The entire DeLonghi Coffee Maker is accessible from the front; that is all that you need to replace add or interact with is directly in front of you. DeLonghi has made this unit very simple and easy to use. A single access door houses the water, filter and grounds and has a permanent gold-tone filter for your coffee simplifying the coffee making process. Ever wanted a cup before the brewing was finished? I think we all have, so DeLonghi added the interrupt and serve function so you can enjoy your first cup before the pot is finished. After you have served yourself you can start the brewing right where it left off.

The system has an aroma function which will enhance the overall flavor and aroma of the coffee. By brewing in short cycles the DeLonghi Coffee Maker enables the finished coffee to pick up all of the aromas and nuances of the ground beans. These cycles are continuous and provide some of the easiest to prepare full bodied coffee at home. Although this coffee maker does not make cappuccinos or espressos, it does feature a cup warmer for ready to use cups that will not cool down the coffee.

Simple and easy clean up is achieved by manufacturing the hot plate in a non-stick coating. Allow the hot plate to cool for a few minutes after powering down and wipe clean with a damp cloth. The device also has a cord storage bin so the cord will not be damaged while moving or while not in use. This coffee maker is designed for producing 12 cups at a time which is great for a coffee drinking household, plenty for all; it’s also priced less than some competitors’ 8 cup machines.

Combination Espresso/Coffee Maker

Make the start of your day brighter and easier with a combination espresso and coffee maker. The market today has a veritable plethora of combination coffee and espresso machines. While they all produce espresso and coffee not all of them allow it to be done simultaneously. With the DeLonghi model BCO120T you can. The sleek black design will fit in nicely with any décor and the simple to use instructions will have the first cup of coffee in your hands in no time.

The unit comes equipped with a swivel frother that mixes air, steam and milk to produce beautiful rich creamy foam for your cappuccinos. The Frother does swivel allowing for easy access and frothing. A timer mechanism can be used to set up the machine to make coffee at a later time. This is perfect for those who just can’t quite get going in the morning. It can be set down to the exact minute for your morning scheduling. It also works great for early morning commuters as it can save you a few minutes in the morning.

The Vario System allows the user to adjust the strength of their coffee and espressos to the specifications they desire. Like it strong? Turn the adjustment up to make it as strong as you can handle. Of course the opposite is also true; set it lower for a more subtle and refined coffee connoisseur. An adjustable steam emission comes with a safety valve to ensure safety during use. This is especially nice as espresso is made using pressure not just hot water.

For those of us who just can’t wait for the first cup an ingenious system allows you to pull the pot out without spilling prior to the finished brewing cycle. This will give that essential cup in morning without cleaning a mess as we are impatient at times. A spill proof apparatus is included to minimize spilling while serving coffee to guests and yourself. The glass coffee carafe can hold up to 10 cups keeping everyone satisfied, at least for a while.

Not only does the DeLonghi combination espresso/coffee maker make coffee and espresso, it also makes lattes and perfect hot chocolate. This will satisfy those that do not enjoy hot fresh coffee and espressos but still wish to enjoy a hot tasty beverage. Designed and manufactured in Italy, the birthplace of espresso and cappuccino, the DeLonghi machine is built to last. Sturdy construction and the finest materials ensures years of use and enjoyment.
