This is a pretty stylish filter coffee machine but there are some things you should know. First the technical stuff:
- Digital display
- Thermal c a rafe
- 24 hour programmable timer
- Removable filter
- Anti drip function
- Water guage
- Brew strength selector
- Blue analogue clock face
- 3kgs in weight
- Auto shut off after 1 hour
The good bits:
The build quality is great and the timer function allows you to have a coffee waiting for you when you wake in the morning.
The look of the machine suggests it costs more than it does and the stainless steel carafe is a really nice touch.
The carafe doesn’t sit on a hot plate so ther is no chance of the coffee stewing (probably a good idea though to rinse the carafe out with boiling water before brewing the coffee).
Things to watch out for:
There are no markings on the water tank for number of cups so it can be a bit of guess work to get a full pot.
It is recommended you empty the machine of excess water after each use which is a bit of a hassle considering the short chord that comes with the unit.
It is unfair to say that this machine is style over substance – it is a really good entry machine especially if you have never had a filter coffee machine before.
And at under £40 it really does make it very affordable!
