Very happy with this drip coffee maker

I bought this Delonghi DC59TW 12 cup drip coffeemaker to replace our old burnt out percolator. I looked around for another percolator but couldn't find the same machine so I chose this drip one instead. It was on sale when I bought it and it already came with the gold filter basket that I wanted. This was a real plus since some of the other machines I looked at would make you buy the gold filter basket extra.

Once I took it out of the box it was simple to get brewing. The coffee maker is fully programmable and I find that after the first time programming it I had the process down. It's very easy to learn. Now on to the flavor.

The Aroma feature is nice because I like my coffee stronger. It seems to make it taste more like a gourmet blend, or something you would get at your local Starbucks. Even though it takes longer to brew with this feature it is worth it and I just have to set it to start a little earlier in the morning.

One complaint I read in regards to this Delonghi machine is really common to all drip coffeemakers, and that is it will be a little messy at times. This is just what you get with this type. A percolator is much better in this regards but I knew this going in. With a little care you won't have problems with your coffee burning or with the dripping. Overall I recommend it because for the price (which is pretty cheap) it brews some great tasting coffee.
