Last week, once of a sudden, the drip coffee part simply stopped working. No warning, no signs. . However, when it worked it was good. We're looking for a different combination machine now, but it most probably won't be another DeLonghi product. Rating: 2 / 5 We had Delonghi BCO264B combination for over a year.

It was very easy to set up and use, although we're still playing with the settings. I particularly like the ability to set the time that the pot stays hot -- it's preset at 2 hours, but can be easily changed to any length, including always on. The titanium filter is a nice idea -- does away with paper filters, and it cleans easily. Rating: 5 / 5 Bought as a Christmas gift for my wife.

I called Delonghi and they said it should only take 15-16 min. I called the seller and they promptly sent me a replacement. When I tried to make a pot again,It took 35min. and the off and on light would not stop blinking. the only reason it should blink is when scale builds up. I had the machine one day. Delonghi blew me off and would not adress the problem. I called the seller and they apologized. They were the only bright side to this very disappointing experience. Two out of two STINKS.

After 6 weeks I finally get the parts and was able to start using the machine,this was a christmas gift that I had given. After waiting for parts to arrive I found the machine did not work good at all. We tried it several times and we ended up with more coffee on the outside of the machine than in the cup. That was 2 years ago and the machine has been sitting on the shelf since. We took our 15 year old espresso make back off the shelf and have been using it since.

The coffee is average -- no better than from my old insulated Krups coffee only machine. The espresso maker is far below par -- weak steam, slow production, weak espresso even with the best freshly ground beans. Finally, the espresso unit takes far longer than 5 minutes to heat up. You can begin to make espresso after a five minute pre-heat, but the unit loses steam well before the first cuppa is completed. If you want to make a cup of espresso start to finish, you need to wait at least 20 minutes for the unit to pre-heat. On the positive side, I do like the permanent filter, and the unit does put a nice creme layer on the espresso.
