Once it’s grinding and brewing you a cup, the TrueBrew is louder than a drip coffee maker, but the volume isn’t any more intrusive than a pod-based single-serve coffee maker.
Even if you do make a mess, though, with a bit of wiping-up duty, this machine was easy to clean and put back together. Conveniently, you can use the included kit to do this, on an automatic cycle that takes roughly 30 minutes.Īfter using the TrueBrew for a month, however, we’d recommend proactively emptying before the filter clean light comes on, as leftover grounds and the water used to flush the system tend to slosh over the catch basins when pulled out of the machine. The machine also alerts you when it needs to be descaled to clean out mineral buildup. Red indicator lights let you know when you need to do anything more involved than pushing a button, like adding beans, adding water or cleaning out the grounds and excess water. The TrueBrew does the rest, whether you're making a 3-ounce shot or a whole carafe. There’s even an included scoop for the purpose.Ī built-in grinder means that all you need do is add coffee beans and water and pick your desired setting.
If you feel like using different coffee for a single drink (say you’ve got regular beans in the hopper but somebody wants to make a cup of decaf), you can skip the built-in coffee grinder and add pre-ground coffee directly to the filter basket. You’re not locked into using the grinder, by the way.
It also has three grind settings (light, gold and bold), three temperature settings and an option to dispense coffee over ice.Ī small flip-down shelf below the dispenser keeps coffee from splashing if you’re using an espresso cup or a smaller mug. It can brew 3-, 8-, 12- and 24-ounce cups or 40 ounces of coffee for the carafe that comes with the machine.

The TrueBrew earns points for giving lots of options - enough to serve a house full of coffee drinkers with different tastes. The machine even comes with test strips that help you determine the hardness (concentration of dissolved minerals) of your water so you can then adjust the machine to compensate accordingly, along with a descaling kit. You can be brewing coffee as soon as you’ve given the water tank and catch basins a good rinse and dry (and added some beans to the grinder’s hopper, of course). The black and stainless De’Longhi TrueBrew is simple to assemble and set up, and the settings and interface are easy to understand. Though if you want that coffee ready first thing in the morning you will need to remember to put a cup under the dispenser the night before - they aren’t that advanced yet.

Plus you can program the coffee to brew you a specific drink, from a short espresso-style shot to a long drip-style brewed mug, and have it ready for you whenever you like. You can go from whole beans to a cup of coffee in under a minute, without doing more than pushing a couple of buttons. The main selling point of the De’Longhi TrueBrew - and of most superautomatic machines - is convenience. Think of it as having the efficiency of a pod-based single-serve coffee maker like a Keurig or Nespresso, but without the hassle and waste of pods, plus the ability to serve up a whole pot of coffee. We looked at some superautomatic espresso machines in our review of the best espresso machines overall, but the TrueBrew isn’t an espresso machine - it can turn out an espresso-style 3-ounce shot, but it’s more akin to the familiar machines we looked at in our review of the best drip coffee makers.

And given all this, they can cost more than manual or automatic machines, which require you to do more of the work. (Some of them - though not the De’Longhi - even steam milk.) They typically include a self-cleaning cycle, essential since they are more complex and fiddly than other varieties. Superautomatic machines grind beans (meaning you don’t need to purchase a separate grinder to use fresh whole beans), measure grinds and brew coffee. The De’Longhi TrueBrew is a “superautomatic” machine, which means it does it all. Your CNN account Log in to your CNN account
