Just as many others have stated, this machine leaks A LOT of water everywhere. I've never had much luck with my $50 machines as they would break after about a year of use. It is extremely frustrating, and a huge mess to clean up every morning. The design of the inner tank makes it difficult to clean. This $150 machine has been defective since day one. It brews a decent cup of coffee, but for any price, I don't think the mess is worth it.
This is gift is one that I will be using repeatedly. If you do not read and follow the instructions you won't get the desired results.
I finally set it up it and tried it tonight 13 Jan. I received this item as a Christmas gift.
I am very satisfied. 2010 and the first thing I attempted to make was a cup of cappuccino.
Success. As for me, I'm sipping on my second cup while typing this.great.
Kudos to the woman who gave me this wonderful gift.
I purchased this coffee maker for my wife almost 3 years ago and never had a problem. My wife loves it and still uses it every day.
The second unit is now leaking after 11 months of use. This is my second BCO-130T Coffee/Espresso machine. Customer Service said that I will need too send to Appliance Parts Mart to get fixed leaving me with out a coffee pot. The first one worked well for about 8 months then started leaking. They sent me a new one two months after I called customer service. I responded with "What am I to make coffe in." The CSR Rep said that I should buy a cheap coffee maker to have while mine is in the shop being repaired. Do not waste your money.Spokane, WA
It's a shame, too, because this really is a nice coffee maker, otherwise.I'm pretty sure the leak is due to the removable water chamber. As everyone here says, it leaks, and it leaks EVERYWHERE. It's a great coffeemaker with a leaking problem. At the bottom of the chamber, there's a spring loaded valve that is supposed to keep the water in the tank while you load the water tank at your sink and carry it back to the machine.However, once you stick it in the machine, it's a bit too rigid, and it doesn't fully seat itself on the water supply tube that the coffee maker uses.Right below the water tank/water line assembly is a little channel for water to collect in, and at the bottom of that channel is a drip hole. Easily a quarter cup of water every morning. And, I'd say that since everyone is having the problem, it's a product design flaw. The drip hole is working fine. it's the outlet for all the water.And yes, Delonghi's customer service stinks, especially when the product is clearly flawed.If it weren't for the leaks, I'd easily have rated this at least 4 stars.Very, very disappointing.
