About - Toastess Delfino DLFC-381
The Toastess Delfino DLFC-381 is part of the coffeemaker test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, drip coffeemaker models like the Delfino DLFC-381 are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. Brew performance: Brew performance is the ability to reach 195°F or more for six minutes. Convenience: Convenience reflects ease of filling the reservoir, placing the filter, gauging the amount of coffee remaining, cleanup, and clarity of controls. Carafe handling: Carafe handling covers handle comfort, tendency to drip when pouring, balance of a full carafe, and how easy it was to empty the last liquid. Models with no score here brew into single-serve containers, or are dispenser-style. Dispenser models hold the brew in a tank; you fill your cup by pressing it against the dispenser lever.

Comment:

We bought this unit at a great sale price and have never had a problem with it. I like the detachable water fill reservoir. I bought this unit to replace another brand of coffee maker that we always had problems with.
