Coffee maker wasn’t turning on
Didn’t work
Best Machine ever
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.
Customer review from De'Longhi
Great coffee maker that’s easy to use and clean.
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!

Perfect Everyday Brew
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

Do Not Buy This Machine
This machine is a piece of absolute junk. Out of the box there was no way to get the flashing "warning" light to go off. The instructions are awful and I even watched 7 videos online. Tried everything suggested and the warning light wouldn't go off. The machine is VERY loud and seems like it is built like junk, even though I was never able to make ONE actual cup of coffee with it. I am returning it. Save your money and your time and sanity and choose something else!

Great for coffee aficionados, maybe not for casual
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…..

I expected more than this
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.

Love it!
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!
