TrueBrew is an automatic coffee machine that brews drip coffee from fresh, whole coffee beans all at the touch of a button. No hassle whatsoever, simply pour in your favorite beans, make your selection, and press Brew. Then, TrueBrew will do the rest. De’Longhi’s Bean Extract Technology automatically grinds, doses and brews. The machine is able to brew 6 sizes (3, 8, 12, 16, 24oz cups or 40oz carafe) and 5 brew styles (Light, Gold, Bold, Espresso-Style or Over-Ice).
