The Prestige Deco is probably one of the cheapest filter coffee machine out on the market today.  This makes it a perfect entry level coffee maker and a great buy as a Christmas present.

The Pros

  • The timer function allows you wake up to the aroma of fresh coffee,
  • Easy to use
  • Quick – brews in less than 10 minutes
  • The glass carafe is well designed and does not spill
  • Compact and nice looking.
  • Safety cut out feature is a great idea for the forgetful among us

The Cons

  • There have been some reports of newly bought machines failing;
  • The filter only fits in one direction (not a major criticism) but you soon get the hang of this;
  • The re-usable filter is not as good as the paper ones

Handy tip

Use disposable paper filters as it makes cleaner, more rounded flavour coffee and there’s less cleaning too!

Overall Verdict         3.5/5

To be honest this verdict is a little harsh, because for the price, this is a cracking machine.  It may not meet the expectations of seasoned coffee lovers, but it will more than meet the needs for the vast majority of coffee drinkers.
