Description
 
DeLonghi's DCF212T is a programmable, front-loading drip coffee maker with an 'Aroma' option that results in delicious, tasty and highly aromatic drip coffee.

Learn more about the DeLonghi DCF212T:


Pros
  • Front Loading - Excellent for smaller kitchens, you can place this coffee maker underneath cupboards and won't have to move it around in order to load with coffee or water
  • Basket Filter - Permanent filter is washable and means you'll never have to purchase paper filters again
  • Aroma Button -  Initiating a slower brew, this setting will fully extract the flavor from your coffee, resulting in stronger and tastier coffee

Cons
  • Poor Clock/Timer Setting - You can't set the hour and minute separately, so you have to cycle through the 24 hour clock in order to set the timer to brew in the future
  • Long Brew Time - Many consider the length of the brew to be excessively long and slower than other coffee makers, but you can get around this by using the timer setting
  • Temperature Issues - The temperature of the coffee has mixed reviews: Some folks think it's not hot enough, while others find it perfectly warm, especially if you use the cup warming feature on the top of the machine. If you're someone who wants your coffee to start out scalding hot so that it can cool down in your travel mug on the way to work, this machine might not be the one for you

How it Works
Easily prep the machine from the front by opening the door, filling the water channel and pouring grounds in the coffee filter.

You can select a longer brew cycle by pushing the 'Aroma Button', which will achieve a full-bodied flavor by advancing through several continuous cycles while water is released into the filter basket in 30-second intervals.

Brew Tip: The filter basket holds up to 10 scoops (scoop included) of coffee grounds, which roughly translates to 10 cups of coffee. Since the carafe can hold up to 12 cups of coffee, you can make stronger coffee by removing the permanent filter basket and then using a standard paper filter, which will hold more coffee grounds.

Care
For detailed care instructions, please refer to your machine's user manual. We recommend that you also incorporate the following into your cleaning routine:
  • Rinse out permanent filter basket on a regular basis
  • Wipe warming plate on a regular basis to keep any 'burnt coffee' smell from permeating the surroundings
Features & Accessories
A good value for the price, the DeLonghi DCF212T has these great features:

Components & Functionality
  • Large Capacity Carafe
  • The carafe can hold the equivalent of 12 cups of coffee.
  • Front-Loading Functionality
  • A swing door allows you to fill water and coffee without moving the unit from it's position on your counter -- great for under-cupboard storage.
  • Aroma Button
  • A special time release brewing option, the Aroma Button will initiate a series of brew cycles, releasing water every 30 seconds. This process saturates grounds a little bit at a time, extracting the fullest flavor and aroma from your coffee.
  • 24 Hour Programmable Timer
  • Set your coffee to brew at some time in the future -- and don't worry, it will automatically shut off after 2 hours.
  • Water Level Indicator
  • Warning will let you know when it's time to refill water.
  • Permanent Filter
  • The durable, gold-tone filter is specially designed to keep even incredibly fine coffee grounds in place.
  • Pause & Serve
  • Grab a cup quickly with the Pause & Serve -- take the carafe off the warming plate and the brew will pause while you pour yourself a cup.
  • Warming Storage Tray
  • Warm up your mugs by storing them on the top of the machine. The steam will keep your mugs toasty so they won't cool your coffee down.
  • Nonstick Warming Plate
  • For easy clean-up!
Accessories
  • Dose Scoop
  • Scoop will help you measure the exact coffee ratio you prefer for your brew.

Excellent coffee maker February 20, 2010
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Portland, OR United States  
Have had this machine for about a month now - it looks & feels like the quality piece of equipment it is.  Gold filter works great - minimal sediment gets through and the coffee tastes outstanding (recommend using the "aroma" setting even though it takes longer to brew).  The clock & timer setting is a little tedious since you can only go forward  - it can take 30 -40 seconds to set.  Of course if you don't change it too often no big deal.  Highly recommended.

Thank you for your feedback on this review. We appreciate your input!
