Why Does Starbucks Continue to Sell This Product?

byderekadams121 Nov 14, 2006
16 Helpfuls 17 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Looks great on the kitchen counter Only one: Looks great on the kitchen counter
Cons Poor brewing temperature; overflows; drips when pouring
Recommended it? No

I can't imagine a more poorly designed product, especially from DeLonghi. I have experienced all of the problems other reviewers have commented on and the overflowing/flooding is the worst of the problems. I walk into my kitchen every morning with trepidation; not a good way to start off your day... Read full review »

Living with poorly-designed coffeemaker (don't throw it out until you read this)

bymbrepair Feb 7, 2010

Pros Great looking. A good product after you fix it. See text.
Cons Will fail before 2 years. Fix it per instructions.; See text.
Recommended it? Yes

These units go out after about a year and a half for two common causes. Most common problem.... When the coffeemaker fails to work it is usually the failure of one of two thermofuses accessible by removing the bottom panel. A continuity tester can quickly identify which one failed. The fix...... Read full review »

NOT FOR COFFEE LOVERS

bystarlight94684 Jul 28, 2007
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros The thermal carafe
Cons temp varies, machine overflows & was dead in less than 6 months.
Recommended it? No

This product lasted less than 6 months. We lived with the temperature variations...unhappily. We tried to laugh off the overflows. We are a household of coffee snobs. We need a well made product that makes a decent cup of coffee without making a mess and lasts more than 6 months. This is NOT it!!... Read full review »

Pros excellent coffee thermal carafe (no burnt coffee) timer function price
Cons size (takes up a lot of counter space) look (maybe too modern for some kitchens)
Recommended it? Yes

After a month of brewing coffee, I am very happy with this coffee maker. It has all the features you'd want in a coffee maker (unless you're a professional barista): thermal carafe, timer feature, reusable gold filter basket, water filter and brew strength adjuster. The water reservoir even lifts... Read full review »

Wear a glove when pouring coffee

Pros Nice design.
Cons Leaks. Everywhere. Every time.
Recommended it? No

I cannot imagine a poorer designed carafe. No matter what position we have the lid, it leaks when it pours. I asked the Starbucks Barista (where we purchased the maker) if he had any ideas and he suggested taking the lid off. Well ... it even leaks with the lid off. Read full review »

Pros Sleek design, colorful display
Cons Overflowing, drippy pours, tepid brew, lasted 1 year and then died electrically. Sleek...
Recommended it? No

I purchased this sleek machine at Starbucks for $149.00. The main unit's top loading for coffee grounds and the water basket are well designed, easy to use. The water level indicator on the side is clear, keeps you informed of the actual brewing process which is quick. The display is attractive and... Read full review »

Pros Looks good
Cons tepid coffee,leaking lid,overflow
Recommended it? No

Starbucks replaced my Barista Aroma with this disappointing DeLonghi machine. What a waste of expensive coffee beans and coffee! The lid leaks no matter how tightly I hold the lid on while pouring, spilling and wasting the coffee which is not hot enough, the thermal carafe does not retain the heat,... Read full review »

Pros looks, great features, stainless durability
Cons reliability is non-existent
Recommended it? No

No, the coffee tasted fine, it's the lack of reliability that is hard to swallow. After reading all the mixed reviews (knowing the average was not so good) on this site I decided to buy the DeLonghi with my heart and give it a try. Bad, bad decision! After impeccable care to compensate for its... Read full review »
