I have had this coffeemaker for over 2 years now, and I can honestly say that I haven't had any of the problems described by other reviewers. When I brew plain old Folgers coffee, guests rave and ask me what kind of coffee I'm brewing, thinking it's some specialty brand. It's simply a fantastic coffee/espresso maker with no bells and whistles. It brews a great cup of coffee, and the espresso isn't too bad either. I love that you can set it to slow brew by selecting the 5 cups or less option; sometimes I do it even when I'm brewing a whole pot to get a more full-strength coffee.In 2 years of owning this, I've looked at fancier models with auto shut-offs, timers, etc, but I just can't bring myself to replace a machine that makes such excellent coffee. Highly recommended.
I just bought a BCO 70 coffee maker at our local thrift store for $5.00 because they said the steamer didn't work. Seems to work fine for me. Now I have two espresso machines, one in the house and one in my garage/workshop. What a deal.
We use the espresso side about 4-6 times per month and never had a problem with it. I purchased this model from Fry's in 2002 and today I'm still enjoying my morning cup of joe today like I have for 7 days a week for 7 years. There have been some issues like the water leaking out of the basket, but the fix for that is to clean the spray hole and the problem went away. We get our coffee green and roast it at home and this coffee maker has been the best brewer, spoken from a true coffee snob.:) When I saw the low star rating, I had to provide my review to show that there are some longer lasting models out there. When or if my machine breaks, I'll be replacing it with this same model: DeLonghi BCO70 Caffe Nabucco Espresso, Cappuccino, and Coffee Bar
I bought this product about a month ago because I really enjoy coffee and I thought an espresso/cappuccino maker [.]. It just looks nice in my kitchen. for just a regular coffee maker. when I received it in the mail I was really excited. It doesn't have anything special about it. About a week later was the first time that I actually had time to use it. isnt bad. So basically I paid [.].
The espresso part of the machine didnt work. The knobs to adjust the how strong of coffee you want didnt turn. It doesn't have a timer on it so when you wake up in the morning the coffee is already ready. This was really a waste of money.
This is the second exact coffee maker I purchased. The fill tank is convienent and clean up is a breeze. I love to have a coffee lattee every morning and this maker provides that with ease. I loved mine so much I purchased the second one as a birthday present for my daughter. I don't drink expresso so this part of my machine has never gotten used. I have not had any problem pouring with this machine nor has any thing broken and I use it every day,
