One machine that does it all
I own 4 other different coffee machines with this De’Longhi TrueBrew Coffee Maker being my newest 5th machine. Three machines use different pods. The fourth is a fancy espresso machine. I love exploring different brewing methods. I picked this De’longhi TrueBrew because it is a machine that is capable of handling coffee beans AND pre-ground coffee in addition to various brewing options.I am the only one who drinks coffee daily and did not want to brew an entire carafe with a traditional machine. For my other machines, I went with pods because it was simpler but they are not good for the environment. They were also more expensive. I also didn’t want to deal with filters and cleanups with traditional drip brews. With the De’Longhi TrueBrew, I can buy coffee beans or use ground coffee without having to worry about price and the environment.Right out of the box, I noticed that this is a big machine and I couldn’t wait to try its capabilities. There are not many parts to assemble, which was a great sign! The water reservoir easily snaps to the main machine. The grinder section is well sealed with a rubber-gasket cover that keeps the beans fresh and away from oxygen. The inner bean container is not removable so you will have to finish one type of bean before you can put in a different type.The main coffee drip section has a removable plate and a catch basin. The body of the machine can be pulled out to reveal two containers. One to catch the used ground coffee and another to catch the extra water. These can all be separated and cleaned. The infuser can also be pulled out for cleaning. It contains a stainless steel mesh instead of the traditional paper filter.What are the brewing options? The machine is very simple to operate. I have been exploring the different brewing options and found them to be significantly different. The strengths of the coffee increases as I tried light, gold, and bold settings, with bold being the darkest in color. I love the large spectrum of brewing sizes from 3oz to 24oz. Sometimes, I only want a quick kick in the morning and would either choose the 3oz or 8oz cup. If I’m heading to the office, I would pick the 20oz for my thermal.How doe the coffee taste? It’s very smooth with medium roast. If you use different beans and want to adjust the temperature, you can go into the setting and set the relative temperatures from a range of 1 to 3. The manual doesn’t specify the actual temperature so some experimentation is needed. I am very happy with the default setting and enjoy the ease of making coffee.Cleanup: Like with any other appliance, some cleanup is expected. After every few cups, I would clean the overflow and the catch containers inside the machine. I like to also clean the infuser because grounds tend to settle and dry on the mesh. It’s relative easy and doesn’t require any special effort.Sound: This machine makes some clicks and clacks when starting up, brewing, and after brewing. Don’t worry, that is part of the normal operation!This is the perfect single cup machine that I have found so far. It has a built-in grinder, brews a single cup, minimizes waste, and has various brewing options. The coffee tastes delicious and all can be made by pushing two buttons. Instant fresh coffee every time!

Great in conceptâ¦lacking in performance
Love the idea of the true brew coffee maker. Promises a lot. Make by the cup, iced or hot, adjustable ounces of coffee, varying temperatures, varying coffee strengths and customer service promises. You canât use flavored or dark roast as the oils will damage grinder and void warranty. This needs to be clearer in description. I have used medium bodied coffee (same I use for my $24 French press) but unless I brew 3oz coffee and make several to fill my cup, the coffee is quite weak. I have the strength setting to Gold. Reached out to try and troubleshoot via email with very specific detail on model I have and issue. They responded several days later asking for model number and detail in order to assist. The info they gave to find info wasnât accurate (details and model behind water reservoir). I emailed right back and have sent two additional follow up emails without any reply. I tried calling and was placed on a very long hold only to be disconnected. The design of the coffee maker is great. Promising function but doesnât deliver and I should have listened more close to all the negative feedback about customer support. I expected more for a $500 machine. I would expect to get a solid cup of a good strength coffee but it doesnât perform. I had been debating on the full function espresso machine with milk frothed and grinder until this model came out. The $1600 for that model is significant and with their lack of customer support I am quite uneasy investing in this more expensive product. Beware, read the low ratings and do your research before purchasing. I thought that all the negative feedback on their customer care was fabricated but it definitely know first hand it is accurate. UPDATE: problem again after 6 months. Strength of coffee is extremely weak and it doesnât brew hot coffee. Itâs been two weeks since I was promised a return label and box for repair. Still nothing after the promise of 3-5 days. Have had to call numerous times to get label and box and it took over 40 minutes and still no resolution. I love the concept of the all in one and if it worked, it would be perfect. I can deal with the slight mess of the water reservoir used to clean after each cup. I know others mention it as well. I just want a solid cup of coffee that is hot.

No funcionó el molino. Estábamos muy ilusionados con los review que vimos. Sin embargo, al momento de querer preparar café no tuvimos éxito puesto que salió defectuosa.

I’m writing this while enjoying an extra large, fresh ground, fresh brewed, cup of coffee. With one cream and one sugar. That might be more information than you want. But that is what you’re getting. I specifically waited a few weeks before writing this review just so I could give you a fair opinion about this machine.I have to admit. I was more than hesitant to buy this machine after reading some of the reviews. You know the ones. The same ones whining about the cleanup, the quality, yadda yadda. After all, it is a lot of money to put down on a coffee machine. I’m here to tell you. Put those concerns aside. If you’re not spending the kids college fund, or using the money set aside to pay your power bill (you’ll obviously need that power just to brew the coffee). I’m telling you, make the purchase.You will be happy, dare I say, even a little giddy walking up to this, relatively large, machine in the morning and seeing your freshly ground, freshly brewed coffee sitting there just waiting for you to take your first sip and start your day properly.Cleaning the machine is pretty easy. Everything comes apart very easily. The grounds can be quickly dumped I the trash or, in the wife’s flower pots (as long as she’s OK with that ðð). A quick rinse and a quick wipe with a damp cloth and your back in business. Don’t pay any attention to the whiners. You’ll spend more time walking to the kitchen than you will cleaning this machine. Cleanup is just a part of life. Get over it.To offer a bit of advice. Swallow your pride and READ THE MANUAL!!!! This is specifically directed at those guys, like me, that think “I’ll just figure it out. It can’t be that hard. After all it’s only a coffee maker”. Again I say READ THE MANUAL!!! Wives, show this to your husbands. READ THE MANUAL!!! This will save you more time than it actually takes to read the manual. It pains me deeply to have to tell you that. I promise I won’t tell anyone that you actually read the manual. Once you learn how the machine works and how to brew your favorite coffee, I promise you that you’ll be more than happy with this machine. Whether your heading out work or off to the kids soccer game. I know you’ll be happy with your perfectly brewed coffee on your travel mug helping to keep your sanity while dealing with all idiots on the road.So… in conclusion I would highly recommend this coffee maker. I truly enjoy ever morning knowing there a perfect cup waiting for me right when I need it.

I love this coffee maker. However it broke. Then I had to wait 4 days for the office to open since their support does not work on weekends, evenings or holidays so please make sure that your breaks during business hours. Then I had to go and get a thermometer to show them on video that it was actually broken. Then thet sent me a shipping label so I had to go and find a box to ship it in. Then they had to wait to receive it before they can ship me a new one. THen once they received it has been 7 business days. Can take up to 10. So fo a person who loves his coffee, I have out of a coffee maker without a replacement for a month almost.Usually a good manufacturer would replace an expensive item and we woul duse that box and label to ship the old one back. Absolutely horrible experience.

I bought this to replace my aging k-pod coffee maker and I’m completely satisfied.It’s terribly expensive but you do get significant value:- zero waste, other than coffee grinds- whatever size you pick, you get 100% coffee strength, not like K-pod machines where it just runs extra water through the same k-pod- the “bold” is very strong, and top heat setting is extremely hot (I use the middle heat setting)- very easy to use- very easy to use pre-ground coffee in the “bypass chute”- very easy to clean (inside and outside)- very tidy (i.e., doesn’t create a mess on the counter)- almost instantly ready-to-go when turned onOn the downside, but very easy to put up with:- quite noisy (keep this in mind if someone’s sleeping within hearing distance from the kitchen)- goes through water fast (not just for the coffee, but to flush/clean the insides after each cup)- small water reservoir (about 5-7 8oz cups of coffee per refill) (the upside is the water tends to be fresh 🙂 )- inner containers for flushed water and used coffee grinds require emptying about every 5 cups when the indicator light flashes, but emptying them is easy and generally mess-free- not feasible to exchange coffee beans (i.e., you can’t empty them out easily), but the trade-off is you can use any set of pre-ground coffee via the bypass chute.One tip for the pre-ground coffee use. When you press the Brew button, you seem to have only about 30 seconds to add the coffee and press Brew again to start brewing (at least in my experience). What I do now is measure out the coffee first in a small pill cup, then press Brew and then pour the coffee into the bypass chute. This also causes less mess around the bypass chute.

Our De’Longhi TrueBrew coffee maker replaces an old Mr. Coffee drip coffee maker and separate Capresso grinder. It was not that these were bad machines–they worked OK. However, my wife thought the coffee tasted dull. We were making a full pot each morning and I was constantly re-heating mine in the microwave throughout the day. Plus there was a basket to clean for each pot made and the brew wasn’t consistent because of the manual selector on the grinder.We wanted a machine that automated the grind and brew for single cup serving so each cup was fresh, hot and consistent. We also needed a machine that was short enough to fit under the cabinet on the kitchen counter. This ruled out the Breville immediately.We opted for the De’Longhi TrueBrew without the carafe. It fits the counter perfectly. My wife loves the taste of the coffee. We are getting much more flavour and character from the exact same beans as before. She also loves the “over ice” setting. I like the single cup brewing, ensuring each one is consistently dosed and hot. No more microwaving stale coffee. I also like that there are no filters to dump. Plus, at the 3 oz. setting, the De’Longhi TrueBrew makes a very good facsimile of espresso, including crema. I’m impressed! It says it is a “drip” coffee maker, however, it uses a “diffuser” component that seems to operate at a higher pressure than regular drip.We are very impressed and happy with the De’Longhi TrueBrew.CONS: The spent coffee grounds and overflow water are captured inside the machine and these do need to be dumped from time to time. However, this is needed more frequently than I had expected, almost daily it seems. Maybe it’s because we’re just drinking too much excellent coffee! 🙂 Luckily, the machine opens up very easily and the clean-up procedure is fairly quick and unmessy.The De’Longhi TrueBrew also makes an assortment of grunts and burps when brewing and when shutting down. These might seem too noisy to some folks. We think it’s charming.
