The DeLonghi coffee maker was purchased to replace a Hamilton Beach Brew Station that continuously leaked. We chose this unit for several reasons: the metal and black surfaces matched our other kitchen appliances, the coffee basket and water fill rotate outward from the unit so that it can be filled without moving it from under cabinets, it has a permanent filter, and it is somewhat shorter than most other units.
The first pot finished in time comparable to the Hamilton Beach and Mr. Coffee coffee makers, but the brew was somewhat weak. Further the permanent filter allows some finely ground coffee to pass through into the pot. I went back to paper coffee filters and increased the amount of coffee by 30 percent and got a perfect brew.
A good cup f coffee and ease of preparation and cleanup compared to other coffee makers makes this unit a winner in my booki.

What's great about it: Can be filled without moving coffee maker from under counter.
What's not so great: Needs half again as much coffee to get equivilant bold flavor as Mr. Coffee
