Delonghi ICM 2.B. Bought it as an emergency - and just wanted something cheap and cheerful to tide us over until we could afford a 'better model'. It cost around £14 when we got it almost 2 years ago. It gets almost daily use and has lasted longer than we expected.

Likes - it looks smart and is very easy to use. It makes good coffee - the coffee has improved as the machine has become 'seasoned'. It is fairly quiet in operation.

Dislikes - the jug and the coffee machine measurement of volume are not a reliable match - 'eg' 4 cups on the jug = 6 cups on the machine. The switch was a little 'sticky' when we first got the machine but has improved with use.
