coquine7's Full Review: DeLonghi DCF212T 12-Cup Coffee Maker
I bought this at Crate & Barrel in Jan. 09. Someone who worked at the store said he had the same one and loved it. I loved that you didn't have to pull it out from under the counter to fill it with water and coffee.
It worked great until a few weeks ago when coffee started leaking down the back on this little paddle/lever behind the pot onto the burner during brewing. It's a mess and smells. Another reviewer suggested the problem was a hairline crack in the carafe but I briefly removed the pot during brewing and saw the coffee/water flowing down this little lever/paddle thing behind the pot so I'm pretty sure that's the problem.
I think this machine also produces a lot of steam - it seems like there is nowhere for the steam to go. Other coffee makers I've had have had holes somewhere in the water reservoir area above the fill line to let steam out. The other day after the pot had brewed it bubbled and gurgled and steamed for several minutes after the brewing stopped.
I plan to contact customer service. I'm wondering the outcome of the other reviewer who had this problem and planned to contact customer service.
