What we like about De'Longhi ICM16210

  • At 1200 W it heats water quickly for a morning pot.
  • The 1.25 L tank brews up to 10 cups.
  • At 16 cm high it sits low on the worktop.
  • The base is non-slip, so it stays put on the counter.
  • A water level indicator shows how much water is left.
  • Paper filters mean no reusable filter to clean.

What we don't like about De'Longhi ICM16210

  • At 35 cm wide and 31 cm deep it takes up a lot of counter space.
  • It has no built-in grinder, so you need ready-ground coffee.
  • There is no thermal carafe, so coffee keeps warm only on the warming plate.
  • There is no automatic cleaning, so you clean it by hand.
  • The water tank cannot be removed, so you fill it in place.

Verdict

Getting a pot of filter coffee ready fast is the job of the De'Longhi ICM16210, a simple machine. Its 1200 W heater is the main reason for the speed, and the 1.25 L tank brews up to 10 cups. It is only 16 cm high, so it sits low on the worktop. The catch is the footprint. At 35 cm wide and 31 cm deep, it takes up a lot of room on a small counter. It has a warming plate, a drip stop and a water level indicator, and the base is non-slip. It suits a busy household where coffee is made every morning and there is room to spare on the counter. Paper filters keep the cleanup simple. The tank cannot be removed, so you fill it in place.
