DeLonghi DCF212T 12-Cup Coffee Maker Review

I purchased the DeLonghi Coffee Maker DCF212T for a good price at a local box store, in desperate need for a new maker (my veins run on the stuff).  I made the purchase without looking over reviews first.  When I got it home, and before I opened the box I checked out some reviews...not many were good, much less great.  Well I was in need of my fix so I opened it any way.  I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of Joe and the ease of use of this appliance. It doesn't have too many settings that are confusing before you get your morning cup, and it brews fairly quick.  It took some getting used to not having to pull the maker out from under the cabinets to pour in the water, but now it is so nice and convenient.  The washable filter is awesome. The only complaint I do have is that I think the brew could be a bit hotter, but I do like my coffee hotter than most.  So it's more of a preference thing than a performance issue.  All in all it works well and tastes great.
