After I got the De'Longhi 3-in-1 Specialty Brewer I experienced the best coffee drink in my life. I recommend you get yourself one. The coffee had unbelievable taste and the iced coffee is greater featuring The greatest smooth coffee taste you'll never forget. I recommend a dark roast bean as the De'Longhi 3-in-1 Specialty Brewer provides the most unreal taste and love that you can see the brewing as it happens. I like the sleek design and helpful manual that thoroughly explains all the features and directions. I suggest you give De'Longhi a try you will never need another coffee maker.
