Level with the Smeg DCF02 Drip Filter Coffee Machine

The Smeg DCF02 Drip Filter Coffee Machine and the De'Longhi Drip Filter Coffee Maker ICM15210.1 score the same, so either is a safe pick. The Smeg DCF02 Drip Filter Coffee Machine goes first because it leaves owners a little happier.

About the De'Longhi ICM15210.1

The ICM15210.1 is a drip filter machine in black plastic with a glass jug. The tank holds 1.25 litres, which the jug marks as 10 cups. It uses paper filters, size 4 according to the Coffee Tea Club review, and takes ground coffee only. There is no grinder.

Three things are worth knowing about. A window in the tank shows the water level. An anti-drip valve lets you pull the jug out mid-brew. The machine switches itself off 40 minutes after the last brew, and the warming plate goes off with it. The jug and filter holder can go in the dishwasher, according to De'Longhi.

Controls are plain buttons with no timer, so nothing brews until you start it. The heater is 900W. The machine measures about 20.5 cm wide, 22.5 cm deep and 32 cm high, and weighs about 1.7 kg. De'Longhi's UK page lists a 2-year warranty and says standard legal coverage is included on all products.

What owners report about the De'Longhi ICM15210.1

We could not read enough owner reviews or threads for this exact model to report a reliable pattern. The retailer pages that carry them blocked us, so this page says nothing about how owners find it day to day.

Who the De'Longhi ICM15210.1 suits

Buy it if you want a cheap, uncomplicated filter machine for a couple of people or a small household, and you are happy to press a button each morning. It is simple to run and the dishwasher-safe jug and holder keep cleaning easy.

Look elsewhere if you want coffee ready when you wake up: the Russell Hobbs Buckingham Coffee Maker 20680 is a budget machine with a timer. If you want coffee kept hot for hours, the Sage the Luxe Brewer Thermal BDC465 has a thermal carafe, as the 40-minute shut-off here will not hold a pot warm all morning. Anyone who wants better build or more control over the brew should look at the Moccamaster KBG Select.

How we score it

Every score here comes from our ranking model; no editor sets the order. Most of each score is what the review sites say: the scores their own reviews give each model, and whether their best-of lists name it. For this guide we read BBC Good Food, Expert Reviews, Ideal Home, TechRadar and Trusted Reviews. The rest is how happy owners are, held back where few owners have rated a product, and how new it is. Value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 19 models for this guide before settling on these ten.

Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in November 2026.
