Verdict
De'Longhi Active Line ICM14011 is a simple, compact filter machine for singles and couples, but its five-cup capacity is small for bigger households.

Third-party reviews

What we like about De'Longhi Autentica ICM14011

  • Compact design that takes up minimal kitchen counter space
  • Eco-friendly permanent nylon filter eliminates the need for paper filters
  • Effective anti-drip system prevents spills when removing the glass carafe
  • Keep-warm plate maintains ideal coffee temperature before automatic shut-off
  • Simple, straightforward manual operation and easy to clean

What we don't like about De'Longhi Autentica ICM14011

  • Small 0.65-liter water tank capacity only yields about 2 to 3 standard mugs
  • Automatic energy-saving feature turns off the hotplate after 40 minutes
  • White internal filter basket stains rapidly from coffee oils
  • Initial plastic odor noticed by some users during the first few uses
  • Predominantly plastic exterior construction lacks a premium feel

Verdict

The De'Longhi ICM14011 Active Line is a compact 600-650W drip coffee machine designed for ground coffee, featuring a 0.65-litre water tank that brews up to 5 cups into a high-temperature resistant glass carafe. Key characteristics and pros include an Aroma button with 2 brewing speed regulations to optimize flavor extraction, a built-in water filter, a reusable paperless nylon filter, an anti-drip system, audio alerts at the start and finish of brewing, and a keep-warm hotplate that maintains temperature for 40 minutes before activating auto shut-off. On the downside, it lacks a built-in grinder, offers a relatively small capacity unsuitable for large gatherings, does not feature a digital display or programmable timer, and takes around 10 to 12 minutes to finish a full brew cycle.
