DeLonghi's 12-cup Coffee Maker DCF212T is uniquely styled for convenient operation. This unit has a clever all-in-one front access door that swings forward, enabling you to add water and coffee grounds, without having to pull the machine out from under a cabinet. Cold water is poured into a molded funnel and channeled into the tank instantly. Read more

Stopped pumping water

I make on average 2 pots per week, so the quality of this coffee maker is of suspect. The heater tray still works, but practically useless unless it makes coffee to heat. Read more
- The pull out drawer at the top of the coffee maker does make it easy to pour into the resevoir.
- This coffee maker stopped pumping water after 5 months of use.

I HAD A DELONGHI WITH THE THERMOS POT AND DID NOT LIKE IT SO BOUGHT THIS ONE WHICH KEEPS THE COFFEE WARM FOR TWO HOURS. I HAVE USED THESE APPLIANCES BY DELONGHI FOR MANY YEARS. Read more

I've read mixed reviews on this one, but we were so tired of moving our coffee pot in and out to fill it, we decided to take a chance. We've had the pot for a few weeks now & we make coffee at least once a day. It makes delicious coffee and the front access is fabulous!! One downfall is how slowly it brews. On the standard brew it takes about 12-15 minutes to brew a full pot & the aroma brew is even slower. The convenience is well worth the wait though. Read more or see product

The big plus of this coffee maker is that you do not have to lift the top of it to add the water, which is a real problem if your coffeemaker is sits under a cabinet with little room on top. Instead, water is poured into a container on a "door" that swings out from the front. The big con for us is that we got less than two years of use from it. Another con: the basket where the coffee goes does not take paper liners. Read more

Reviewer: LindaLou2009, PriceGrabber

This coffee maker is the worst coffee maker I have ever owned. There is clearly a design defect which after about 3 weeks of usage allows the coffee which is supposed to drip into the pot to instead drip down onto the heating element and the countertop. The result is a very unpleasant burned smell plus a flood of hot coffee on the countertop. Read more
- Front access to filling
- Design defect which allows brewing coffee to spill onto the heating element
good .... so far

So far so good. I have read the negative reviews, but decided the sale price was too good to pass up. I'm glad I made the purchase! The "Aroma" option on the brewer just makes a fantastic tasting cup of coffee!!! No leaks thus far, and I'm very happy! Read more
I wanted this to work!!!!!

I wanted this to work. It sounded brilliant - not having to pull out the entire machine each time I filled it up with water. And it was good. Until one morning I walked in to find coffee all over my counter. I tried it again the next day. Same thing. ... The next day, it worked perfectly. It's sporadic, and a complete pain. And I wanted this to work. I contacted DeLonghi and never heard back from them. Apparently, they don't care once they get your money. Read more
