If you're tired of flimsy, throwaway, plastic kitchen appliances, if you wonder why "they don't make them like they used to", take a look at the kMix group from DeLonghi. Everything in the kMix group is made of metal, specifically of die-cast aluminum; coffeemakers in two sizes, a toaster, a water kettle, and an espresso machine, all with good-old-fashioned, metal bodies. And not just ordinary silver metal bodies, the kMix machines come in vibrant colors and sleek, attention-getting styles that make them focal points in your kitchen. In fact, they styling is kind of "how they used to make them"; retro good looks with vibrant, updated colors.

A kMix coffeemaker does not have a lot of bells and whistles; there's no programmable timer, no choice of brewing cycles, no clock, no LED screen. Instead, the money goes into durability, performance, and good design, all focused on one thing: excellent coffee. Outside, all you'll see is an on/off switch. Inside the all-metal body is a heating element calibrated for optimum brewing temperature, with another heating element operating at a lower temperature to keep the coffee warm in the glass carafe, a carafe that's really well-designed for easy handling and pouring. There's drip-stop mechanism that instantly shuts off the stream of coffee, so you can grab a quick cup while the whole pot brews. And that's it. The lid in the back flips up for access to the water tank, another id in front covers the filter basket, which includes a permanent, gold-tone filter. That front lid has a steam vent that will nicely warm up your cup while the coffee brews. If you're looking for a simple, rugged, and durable coffeemaker that makes great coffee and is very cool-looking, take a good look at a kMix. There's really nothing else like it in today's world.
