This DeLonghi TrueBrew drip coffee machine is a revolutionary new design that enables fresh whole bean or preground coffee for hot or cold preference. I love the auto on feature that I setup the night before with whole beans and they are prepared and brewed fresh in the morning to start my day of right. DeLonghi thought of everything on this TrueBrew machine including a water hardness test and setting to adapt to your personal water source. How cool! The design is sophisticated, narrow and takes up very little space on our kitchen counter. The controls are easy to read and modify as I prefer espresso and  my wife prefers a light coffee strength. We just love the flexibility of this new TrueBrew coffee machine.
