My husband and I love coffee, this Delonghi Specialty Brewer was very straigh forward and easy to setup and use. It is a very nice looking appliance offering 3 n 1 coffee brewing options and a bit mesmerizing to watch the top half come to a boil. It has a glass carafe that has 8 cups and can also be filled with ice for iced coffee. If you are looking for home brewing options, we strongly recommend this. Delonghi has become a trusted a name in quality and style in our home.
