DeLonghi TrueBrew Automatic Coffee Maker with Bean Extract Technology Stainless Steel Finish

Great coffee maker. Fresh ground coffee nothing like it. A little pricey but I enjoy the results

I have had this model for three years and is excellent in durability, reliability and the quality of the coffees it delivers. My only complaint is that I have not used it for the last month because the one part prone to need replacement, the infuser, finally wore out and I can not source a replacement.

No reason given, purchase cancelled by the company on two different cards.

I am enjoying the flexibility of this coffee maker, the quality of the grind, and the relatively quiet operation and low maintenance. It brews very robustly, much more so than the Cuisinart Grind/Brew it replaced. So I had to switch to light roast coffee on the "gold" setting. Light setting even with great coffee beans is too bitter; any coffee or setting further is too strong and tastes like espresso. Suggested improvements: 1) an aforementioned "even lighter" grind setting; 2) why do I need to power on (which includes cycling water and a spent grain dump) just to set the auto clock for morning? Maddening; 3) the auto-set automatically turns off after a few days, so it needs to be reset frequently; 4) the water chamber is great, but is unnecessarily truncated; it could have matched the height of the machine and need refilling less often. Know that the manual and online FAQ and help/chat are useless. You're on your own with trial and error. It took me about 10 days to play around with settings, beans and dial it in. I almost returned it because drip tastes like espresso. But some minor, seemingly obvious fixes above would make it an Excellent coffee maker and review. Thank you for considering.

This coffee maker had everything we wanted and was SCA certified but cost more than we wanted to spend. We are so glad we trusted the reviews and bought this machine. The coffee is so good! The grinder is quieter than our two previous Grind & Brew Coffee makers. We are wasting less coffee beans as we brew only one cup at a time which is saving us money. I like my coffee medium and I husband likes his bold so we get our preferred choice each time. The machine is easy to set up and even easier to maintain. We are extremely happy with this coffee maker and recommend it to every coffee lover out there.

Great tasting coffee. Machine is a bit slow which is irritating and loud but best coffee ever at home

We've had this machine for 2 years now. It is fantastic, a fabulous cup of coffee each time. The only care it needs is minor cleaning and emptying of water and grounds, and a descaling a few times a year. Love this machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I Absolutely love this product. The cleaning is easy, maintenance is minimal. Very durable and nice temperature control. It brews super fast.

bought the TrueBrew Drip Coffee Maker with Carafe, as a replacement & couldn't be more satisfied. Plug & use easy, have to be attentive of excess grinds & water since the reserves are small to prevent internal messes. Have been using in office (with 40 users) for over 1 month and no issues & easy to clean

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this coffee maker for well over a month. I can’t explain how much I love it. I can make a cup or a pot without a problem. I love that I can use whole beans and that they are freshly ground. Once you figure it out it’s very easy to use and clean. The parts are dishwasher safe. I definitely recommend this coffee maker!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who loves to make a pour over coffee every morning, it’s sometimes takes too long and too much work. The Delonghi is perfect for when I have a busy morning and I don’t have to worry about making coffee. It’s the perfect machine for every day drinking

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unpacked this coffee maker and immediately had problems with a sensor not detecting the coffee grounds basket in its place behind the front wall. There is a point behind the basket that is supposed to trip a sensor when put into place, but would go undetected until we inserted some toothpicks and cardboard to help it get into better position when closed. This is a very finicky sensor, approximately 2-3x per week I have to open and shut the baskets into place in order to brew a cup of coffee. When functioning, machine makes really great coffee. Interface allows for different strengths, cup sizes, fairly easy to use. And coffee made from freshly ground coffee DOES taste better than regular ground coffee. Additional downsides are the coffee maker does heat up water alone, so it can’t be used in making tea. It also requires more frequent cleaning of internal parts than other previous coffee makers I’ve owned. It’s a fine coffee maker but I didn’t throw my old one away…..

Really liked the idea but the coffee did not taste good. Was way strong even on the lifht setting. There is no grind adjustment. Grind adjustment I think would solve the problem. Had to return the machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really looking forward to enjoying my morning coffee with the DeLonghi TrueBrew, but unfortunately, it didn’t quite live up to my expectations. While the machine has potential, a few issues made the experience less than ideal. Here’s my take: Confusing Printed Manual The user manual was difficult to use because the text was only printed on half of each line. I had to search for the manual online, which was inconvenient. Icons Could Use Labels The machine’s buttons only have icons with no text descriptions, which can be confusing for new users. I often had to refer back to the manual (or the online version) to figure out what each button does. Adding small text labels would make it much more user-friendly. Espresso Is Just Average The espresso function works for a quick cup at home, but it doesn’t produce much foam or crema. It’s fine for daily use, but if you’re looking for a true coffee shop experience, it falls short. Inconsistent Coffee Volumes I tried brewing 8, 12, and 16 oz cups, but the actual output measured on my scale was noticeably less than expected. This lack of accuracy was disappointing, as I was hoping for more reliable portion sizes. Reliability Concerns The biggest issue I faced was reliability. After only four uses, the machine stopped working. It started producing white smoke, wouldn’t power back on, and the infuser became stuck. After checking online, I found that others reported similar problems, which raises concerns about this model’s durability. Final Thoughts The DeLonghi TrueBrew has some good ideas, but it’s held back by a confusing manual, unclear button design, average espresso, inconsistent measurements, and serious reliability issues. I wanted to love it, but based on my experience, I’d recommend exploring other options if you’re looking for a hassle-free coffee machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is great! I love that I can use coffee beans or ground coffee. There are plenty of size options, including a 40 oz carafe. I like how easy it is to drain the water used and throw out the coffee grounds. The water is easy to fill up. It is bigger than my last coffee machine. The buttons are easy to use and understand. It has different temperature choices. Although the hottest isn’t as hot as I’d like. It is a little loud when it turns on, grinds coffee, and turns off. It’s gotten less loud as time has gone on. I do wish I could run just hot water through (without the coffee) for tea. Overall, love the machine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this machine !!! The code is delicious it really makes high end quality coffee makes your morning much enjoyable. It is really easy to clean and you can control all the temperatures at whatever you want. It was really self explanatory on how to use I had no issues absolutely love it !! I will highly recommend it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was extremely excited to receive this from Influenster for my honest review. I love coffee in the morning and really wanted to love this machine. Well, despite its flaws, I do. It brews whole beans perfectly. As intimidating as all of the features seem, it’s pretty simple to use. Where it gets less than perfect is the process to brew ground coffee. You need to add the ground coffee once you have turned the machine on and not simply having it powered on. You have to make sure the size cup you desire and that the ground icon is lit up. If not, the grounds pour straight through the machine onto the internal components. You then need to open the front, which I do by prying open with the tips of my fingernails. Sweep out the coffee grounds into the grounds catcher or a cup. I then vacuum up the remaining grounds. Close the machine. Remember to power it on correctly and replace the grounds. Also, the opening to add the grounds gets a bit messy. The machine should come with a tiny brush to sweep away grounds. Overall, I will likely convert to only whole beans. I hope that the element within the machine that grounds the beans for brewing has a long life or is easily replaceable . It would be a shame if that were not the case. I still love it and can’t wait until I am finally using all of its bells and whistles.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are like me, and like an excellent cup of fresh-ground coffee in the mornings but also place a lot of value on ease of use (and want the convenience of a Keurig!) this machine is for you. I’ve used a similar product from Cuisinart which was a nightmare to use, it would have been far easier to grind your own beans at that point. The clean up on this, as well as the quality, is far better. I also get grossed out by the idea of the nozzles/pipes not being clean, but this machine does an excellent job of rinsing even those out, automatically, after every brew. The customizable boldness levels of each brew are spot-on and really allow you to adjust the coffee to your liking. The idea on this machine is well-executed. My only complaint is that I had issues using pre-ground coffee, but that isn’t major from my perspective—if you’re buying this machine, you’re buying it for beans. It looks great on the counter too! All around, I would recommend for those like me. If you’re a real coffee snob or you don’t mind a Keurig-made watery mess, then this machine isn’t best suited for your needs, but for me, it works perfectly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee maker is so easy to use! Brews coffee quickly and perfect every time! Easy to clean and stores well on countertop! The price is good! For the perfect cup or pot of coffee I would recommend this product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The De’Longhi TrueBrew feels like a big upgrade once you get used to it. At first, there’s a small learning curve, figuring out the settings and the different steps, but after a couple of tries, it becomes second nature. When it comes to the actual coffee, it’s noticeably better than what you’d get from a pod brewer. The flavors come through stronger and smoother, and the thermal carafe keeps it hot without tasting burnt. The level of noise it makes may come as a shock if you come from a pod brewer, but you're getting freshly ground beans straight to your cup! Cleaning isn’t as quick as popping out a pod, and it can feel a little inconvenient compared to simpler machines. Still, once you understand the system, it’s quite easy. It’s more about routine maintenance than a major chore. Overall, this machine rewards you with a better cup of coffee and a more “real” brewing experience, making the extra steps worth it.
