1.5L Filter Coffee Machine | 800W Coffee Maker for Instant Coffee, Espresso, Macchiato & More | Boil-Dry Protection, Anti-Drip Function, Automatic Turn-Off Feature

A basic coffee maker for a reasonable price.

So far so good. Easy to use and makes decent Coffee. Time will tell if it lasts but for under £20 it's a steal.

I usually use a press to make coffee, but my pet hate is coffee grounds. So, I thought that I'd try a filter coffee machine. Negatives - True, It is lightweight/edging toward flimsy, but for the price, what do you expect. If treated with care, it should be okay. The jug does have a tendency to drip when pouring. Neither of these should be a deal-breaker. It delivers good coffee, keeps it warm and operates simply and efficiently. I don't understand those who complain about the temperature (It's plenty hot enough, and coffee should not be made with boiling water.) I am using the machine without the supplied filter - I prefer and use, size 4 paper filters. This way, cleaning is a breeze, and the coffee is better. The time-limit for keeping coffee warm is sensibly set at 40 minutes - plenty long enough. I would recommend this machine.

Happy simple and easy to use

I was going to give this 2 stars but decided on 3 because one of the things I don't like about this coffee pot is my fault on choosing it. The biggest issue with it is that the hot plate doesn't keep your coffee warm AT ALL... I half wonder if it even works at all. I do put some milk in my coffee but I almost always have to microwave it before I can drink it as it's barely luke-warm right out of the pot. The other issue I have with it (that's my fault) is that while I knew I wasn't getting one that was programmable I didn't realize it had a digital switch...meaning you have to press it to turn it on/off, as opposed to a hard switch that is either on or off... This matters to me because I prepare the coffee the night before so all I have to do is turn it on. I used to use my smaller pot with a plug that worked with Alexa so I could wake up, tell her to turn on the coffee and then get dressed. By the time I was downstairs, coffee was done! With this one, if it detects a power outage (plug goes off), then it doesn't turn itself back on when the power returns, even if it was on when the power went out.... meaning the ONLY way to turn it on is to push the button and WAIT... lol... Ok, I like my coffee in the morning! I will likely look at getting a different one. I only got this one because the one I had before was too small...but I might have to switch back to it till I can decide on a new machine.

No complaints good product.makes 10 cups of filter coffee.easy to use. Good value for money

Good coffee from this machine fairly quick

So, we bought this for our caravan as our old coffee machine just died. I'll start with the only real problem, and that was the fact there are 2 holes on the base where rubber feet should obviously be, but there are no rubber feet. I thought maybe they were in the packaging somewhere for me to stick on myself, but nope...no rubber feet to be found anywhere. As a result, the coffee machine slides around on the counter top when trying to remove the carafe etc. Not great for an electric appliance with water in it. Luckily I happened to have a pack of sticky rubber feet I use when building my own speakers, so I just stuck 4 of them on the bottom. Job done. That's the reason for the 1 missing star on this review. Anyway... Build quality on this isn't the greatest. Thin plastic and a bit flimsy, but it's only £22 and it is built well enough to serve its purpose. I washed and it all and put water through it 3 times to clean it out. It's extremely easy to use, with just a single button to turn it on and off, that's it. Using the spoon that came with the machine, I put 4 level scoops into the machine and that was almost perfect for our taste (maybe a little strong so will try 3 rounded spoons next time , just try a few different amounts to get it to your liking). The coffee tasted good. No plasticky taste that you can get with some cheap (or even some expensive) coffee machines. It's very quiet and it takes around 15-20 minutes to brew a full pot of coffee. The carafe pours really nicely, no spillages over the sides of the spout even if you pour quickly. In fact, it's actually the best pouring carafe we've ever had, and we've had a LOT of coffee machines from very cheap to very expensive over the years. They call this a '12 cup' coffee machine, but in reality it's a good sized 4 mugs of coffee. The keep warm timer works very well, it stays very hot for 40 minutes and if you need it kept hot for longer just press the button again. I would prefer one that stays hot until turned off, but the EU got rid of that and most items on Amazon are still sold to the EU as well as us so not a lot we can do about that, I don't think manufacturers are going to make a separate version of coffee machines that stay on just for us. All in all it was a good purchase, even with the rubber feet issue. If you want a budget filter coffee machine this is a very good choice.
