DO NOT PURCHASE THIS COFFEEMAKER. Looks great, but has the worst designed carafe in history. In order to avoid spilling coffee everywhere, you have to either pour it at the same speed as the coffee actually brews (which doesn't always work), or pour it over a sink or swimming pool. I thought "maybe I just got a bad carafe", so I call tech support for a replacement. 8 months and 4 periodic calls later, they still do not have a replacement carafe in stock. Instead, they suggest that I cut off the plug on the maker, mail it in and hope for an entire replacement some 2 weeks later. Excellent customer service.
Also, the pause & serve is extremely sensitive - if the carafe isn't sitting just so perfectly in the unit, the drip stop doesn't open and you come back to find an enormous mess of coffee and grounds that have overflowed into every nook and cranny of your machine (and there are a lot) requiring the entire thing be scrubbed out.
It does make good coffee, though. Too bad you have to lick it off the kitchen counter.

The carafe is not the best it leaks if you tip the pot to far and fast.
can't get WATER FILTER that DESCALE FUNCTION reduces scale and improves quality of taste.
I order filters about 8 weeks ago from the co.(DeLonghi)
i never got them.
