De'Longhi TrueBrew CAM51025MB review

A one-touch drip machine with a conical burr grinder, six sizes from a 3-ounce espresso-style cup to 24 ounces, and five brew styles.

Where we land on it A drip machine with a grinder, not an espresso machine: six brew sizes from 8 to 24 ounces and five styles, with an espresso-style 3-ounce cup at the small end. Judge it against the Gevi on this shelf, not against the Philips.

What the maker puts in writing

  • Grinder: built-in conical burr
  • 6 brew sizes: 3 oz espresso style, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 oz
  • 5 brew styles: Light, Gold, Bold, Over Ice, Espresso Style
  • Bean Extract Technology: grinds, doses and brews automatically

This is a drip machine, and the shelf name hides it

Bean to cup on this shelf covers five different machines. Two of them are drip brewers with a grinder bolted on: this one and the Gevi. Three are super-automatic espresso machines. Two are single-serve pod machines that also grind. One is a hybrid you work by hand.

Reading this page against a Philips is reading a filter machine against an espresso machine. The right comparison on this shelf is the Gevi, and against the Gevi this machine offers a wider size range and fewer published figures.

Three to twenty-four ounces

That is the widest span here. The Ninja reaches 6 to 18, the Cuisinart 8 to 12.

If the household drinks both a small strong morning cup and a long one in a travel mug, that range is the argument, and it is published plainly.

Where this listing stops short

No grind count, which is a conspicuous blank on a machine whose first bullet is its grinder. No tank, no wattage, no warranty. Four machines on this shelf publish a grind count, and all four cost less.

Availability

Read on the day this page was built: $490 at the American Amazon shop.

What it gets right, and wrong

Strengths

  • Six brew sizes reaching from 3 to 24 ounces — the widest span on this shelf, and the only one that covers both a small strong cup and a travel mug

  • Grinds, doses and brews without intervention, which three machines here do and six do not

Compromises

  • No grind setting count on a machine built around its grinder, where four cheaper machines on this shelf publish one
  • Publishes neither a tank capacity nor a wattage nor a warranty
  • The heaviest machine on this shelf at 10,723 g (378.2 oz) as listed, and it does not publish its footprint

At $490, it is the 11 cheapest of the 11 models in this category published here.

What people want to know

Does the espresso-style setting make espresso?

The maker calls it *a 3 oz espresso style cup* and lists it as one of five brew styles. The wording is careful and this page will not improve on it: it is a small, strong drip cup. There is no portafilter and no pump pressure published anywhere in this listing.

What is Gold?

One of the five named brew styles, alongside Light, Bold, Over Ice and Espresso Style. The listing does not define it. It is the only style name on this shelf that points at an external brewing standard rather than at a strength.

How does it compare with the Gevi here?

They are the two drip machines on this shelf. The Gevi publishes 8 grind settings, 3 strength levels, a 2-to-10-cup range and its own dimensions; this one publishes 6 sizes and 5 styles and no grind count. The Gevi also tells you to measure your cabinet first.
