Recently, I created a new FB page for The Charleston Priory of the Knights Templar Order. Our Order is that of SCMOTH 1804 OMSTJ. For more information, follow us here: www.facebook.com/KnightsTemplarCharleston

I will also, in the coming weeks, create a Substack for this order as well. Keep posted. Posts on the Substack will be from me and brother knight ++Fr. Sergio and will remain free to the public for the time being.

Yikes: I have been very disappointed in the DeLongi machine I purchased six months ago. Not working now, and customer service has been hell to deal with. Up to 27 min on hold and no one to take my call x 3 times; Email takes on average 4 days for a reply and responses are in circles.

Unreasonable asks and questions that nail the problem on the head, so I know there is a systemic problem with the machine failing, not making a full cup of coffee or espresso and leaking all over the place. Trying to get them to take it back, fix it or whatever is impossible. I purchased a competitor's model that is more analogue and much better. Going to have to cough this up to a $700 loss.

I would not recommend this company for any devices, horrible customer service, and endless frustration. They should do much better, maybe the conflomerate DeLong/Kenwood/Braun just got too big for their pants. I want my purchases to last six years not six months. Also CS is so important for companies you deal with. Sad that DeLongi w/ Braun w/ Kenwood is too big for their pants it would seem.
