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!
