At our testing facility, we reviewed the DeLonghi Combi BCO 430 Coffee maker as part of our Coffee machines review program. The criteria below were used to evaluate Drip coffee makers like this one in our lab tests.
It covers balance and ease of emptying the last liquid, as well as comfort, drip tendency, and balance of a full carafe. Those who don’t have a score here brew into single-serve cups or are self-serve. In the latter case, the coffee is stored in a tank and is dispensed by pressing against a lever.
Based on the ease with which an appliance can be used, refilled with water, and cleaned after use, we give it this rating.
For optimal brewing, the water temperature must be between 195° and 205° F for five to six minutes; this rating is an indication of the ability to reach that temperature as well as the concentration of the coffee.
A brand owner’s satisfaction rating is based on the proportion of owners who would highly recommend their automatic drip coffee maker to a friend or family member.
Predicted brand reliability ratings are based on the average number of problems per unit in the first four years of ownership among estimated newly purchased automatic drip coffee makers.
Based on our observations of setup, operation, and cleanup, it is exceptionally easy to use.
We had no trouble using, holding, pouring from, and emptying the carafe.
It fell short of recommended guidelines for brewing temperature and duration.
To test coffee makers, we brewed a full pot using a filter filled almost to the top, as some consumers might do.
