Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of DeLonghi BCO70 Caffe Nabucco Espresso, Cappuccino, and Coffee Bar
Customer Review: Good machine with some gotcha's
Summary: 3 Stars
I've owned this product for about three years now and I have some mixed reviews about which I've listed below.
Pros
*Make a great cup of coffee / espresso / cappuccino.
*Simple to use (especially after some practice).
Cons
*Bad idea to have glass carafes. (They break easily and the replacements cost upwards to 1/3 of the total price of the machine.)
*Coffee doesn't come out very hot, (Most of my family microwaves their coffee to warm it up even though its just been brewed. Add this to the fact that the coffee is being brewed into a non-insulated glass carafe and you lose even more heat!)
*Coffee warmer turns on even during cappuccino / espresso brewing. (Huge waste of energy plus it can lead to an easy burn!)
*Flimsy feel. (The buttons, knobs and baskets all feel like they're going to fall off or break.)
*EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT PARTS (I think DeLonghi makes a ton of money from their replacement parts because the unit uses flimsy parts which break easily and the replacement parts cost a TON! Instead of a replacement glass carafe costing $6 DeLonghi charges $30!!!)
Description of DeLonghi BCO70 Caffe Nabucco Espresso, Cappuccino, and Coffee Bar
Brew coffee and espresso at the same time. Designed with a Vario system and Accu Flavor to accurately control brew strength. Steam pressurized with a swiveling jet frother. You can even pour yourself a cup before it finishes brewing. Ten-cup carafe. Model #BCO70. Manufacturer's one-year warranty.Both a regular coffeemaker and espresso machine, this 1,500-watt appliance has separate water tanks for simultaneously brewing drip coffee and espresso. The espresso machine side has a milk frother for creating cappuccinos and lattes. Separate knobs select the strength of both regular coffee and espresso. Making espresso follows tradition: tamp coffee into a filter basket inside a filter holder, twist the filter holder onto the machine, pour water into the machine's boiler, and press a button. Depending on the amount of water, up to four 2-ounce cups then flow into an 8-ounce glass carafe.
Making regular coffee also follows tradition: put a filter in the filter basket, spoon in coffee, add water to the coffeemaker's removable tank, and press a button. Up to ten 5-ounce cups of coffee then flow into a 50-ounce glass carafe on a warming plate. (For five and fewer cups, the brewing process can be sped up to provide full flavor.) The brewing process pauses if the carafe is removed from the warming plate for a mid-brew pour. Encased in both bright and matte-finish black plastic, the machine measures 16 inches wide, 13-1/2 inches high, and 9 inches deep and carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
