Do not buy! 
I have an issue with the carafe. It stains slowly, even though I wash it every time I use it. I contacted Delonghi customer service, and the person was very rude. I had to buy it because of a one-year warranty if I wanted to replace it. The carafe is a defective product. It shouldn't happen; I just used it for over a year. It's been happening for less than a year.
The customer service person told me I didn't take care of it correctly, so that's why it's happening. I've had a few different coffee makers, and those have never happened that the carafe gets stained and can't be removed. It looks very dirty, and I hate to see it every morning. It looks fancy and is a luxury look maker but a cheap quality product. I'm telling the truth and don't recommend it.
