Amazon.com Product Description
With 550 watts of power, this 4-cup coffeemaker brews directly into a brushed stainless-steel thermal carafe, which conveniently doubles as a travel mug. The carafe keeps coffee hot for hours, plus provides a contoured lip for comfortable sipping or drip-free pouring. The machine's shower-head design helps extract coffee's full, natural flavor by allowing water to completely saturate all coffee grounds. To access the removable filter basket, simply open the flip-top lid. In addition, the coffeemaker's brew-pause function allows for sneaking a cup before the end of the cycle. At the end of the brewing cycle, the unit automatically shuts off to enhance safety and prevent scorching. Other thoughtful details include internal cord storage, a non-stick plate for quick cleanup, and a handy car cup-holder adapter for on-the-go coffee drinkers. The ergonomically designed adapter easily attaches to the base of the carafe and offers a comfortable, slip-free grip. Designed and engineered in Italy, the UL-rated coffeemaker measures 9 by 8 by 11-1/4 inches.

Customer Reviews

A great coffee maker even after 4 years of use!
In defense of this product, I want to say that after 4 years of daily use, I still love it and it still provides a good cup of coffee! I have to agree that in the first few weeks I did have problems getting the lid off and on but either my method improved or it loosened up. Now it is a breeze to get off and on, even at 5 something in the morning. The car adaptor/cup holder works well in my car and the long commute is not as horrible with that huge cup of coffee on board! I have never had any problems with it dribbling coffee as some have had. Is it the best cup of coffee ever? Well, I still do enjoy stopping by Starbucks and Caribou on occasion but only because my coffee pot doesn't make lattes!

Poor Quality & Customer Service
I received the DeLonghi DC51TTB as a gift. Concept is great, but quality and customer service are terrible! Lid seal ring holding the gasket broke the first time I used it. Contact with De'Longhi customer service is worst experience I ever had with a manufacturer. They seach for any way possible to not replace the defective product and still haven't sent me a replacement lid. I definitely do not recommend anyone purchase this product!

Makes Great Coffee - Has Great Flaws
Within the first week of use a plastic ring cracked inside the cap that slides onto the top of the stainless container. Now you must adjust the loose gasket around that cracked plastic ring in order to get the top to slide correctly onto the container. That wasn't the only thing to go wrong with this would be great coffee maker. A plastic sleeve that shuts off the coffee flow so that you can sneak a cup while it's brewing keeps popping out of it's plastic holder. The coffee is superb, but the trouble you have to go through is not worth it. I will be sending it back.
