KRUPS OF COFFEE.

Advantages: It doesn't turn off automatically, it takes filter papers, and is very simple to use.
Disadvantages: The 'smooth side trigger action' isn't very effective.

...bought a new one: the Krups version. For those who are unaware, a filter coffee machine is, an electrical device that filters water through ground coffee, into a jug underneath. The jug is kept hot on a heated base, for you to drink at your leisure. Here are the key features: Capacity: 1.25 litres Coffee type: Ground Filter: Paper Cup warmer: Yes Removable reservoir: No Dimensions: H35.8 x W25.5 x D22.9cm Wattage: 1100W Krups is a mid-range ...
...it difficult to locate any Krups machines in Chester; they had top end machines and the rubbish lower end ones, but Krups, Magimix, Dualit etc, were hard to come across. I eventually found it in Browns for £49.95. It can also be purchased for a similar price from the Internet, John Lewis and other similar shops. The coffee machine is very simple to use, you put a paper filter in, the appropriate amount of coffee, add the water and turn on. It makes ...

It's the "beans-knees"!

Advantages: It's simple to use, costs very little, is pretty compact and grinds coffee perfectly.
Disadvantages: None

...forward! We bought our Krups grinder for a few pounds and entered the world of coffee beans. The grinder is very easy to use - simply load in the beans (about 4 desertspoons or just over the metal dish level, which is the grinder bowl), put the lid down and press the button until the beans are ground into the consistency you want. The top is made of clear plastic so you can see the results inside. Perfect. It's small enough to sit on the counter ...
...are as follows: Height, from lid to base - 16.5cm (just over 6 inches) long. Depth - 8 cm. Width - 9.5cm. It is an eliptical tube, shape-wise. We tend to unplug ours and wrap the cord around it to store it in a drawer, when we don't want to leave it on the work-surface. As well as being compact, It is also quite stylish and will fit in with most kitchens - the body is black and the top is made of clear plastic. We bought our coffee grinder from ...

For all coffee lovers who want the REAL thing!

Advantages: Fantastic coffee, looks smart, durable, no issues with static.
Disadvantages: None. It grinds coffee well. FACT

...home. This is where the Dualit comes in. I have loved coffee since I was very young and now as a twenty three year old it plays an even bigger part of my life! Yes, I am aware that it’s not that healthy to drink that much of the stuff, but at least if you are going to drink it then you want it to taste good! I have owned an espresso machine for a number of years now and more recently I have upgraded to an all in one bean to cup machine, which I shall ...
...to Starbucks who sell the Dualit Burr Grinder, albeit in a starbucks branded guise. It is the same machine and is made by Dualit and retails for £35 compared to the £70 for the actual Dualit branded item. These machines are identical apart from the name. It’s up to you how much of a brand whore you want to be but a 100% increase for a name didn’t seem worth it to me! I purchased the grinder and took it home. Instantly as you remove it from the box ...

Great for spices, great for coffee

Advantages: Modding ability, in/out tray, looks good
Disadvantages: Can burn-out if you're not careful, difficult to clean when you need to

I originally bought this as a spice grinder. I now have two of them: one for spices and the other for coffee. As a coffee grinder: It doses what it says on box; it grinds coffee. The grinder allows for the full range of settings from very fine espresso to thick granules for the peculator. If you do a search online, you'll also find, instructions on modifying it so it will grind powder-fine coffee (like the very expensive machines). Be warned though, ...
...are intent on making changes, follow a few guidelines: Never grind for more than 20 seconds at a time and leave a few seconds before grinding again. The instructions for modifying are quite simple (just do a search). don't waste 20 minutes like I did though, trying to get the bottom off; it's the top that comes off exposing the internal settings. I also, imagine that making any changes to the internal operations would void the warranty. Unless you ...

Perfect for Espresso- the Dualit EL60

Advantages: Grinds to a super fine powder for the perfect espresso
Disadvantages: Sometimes can't grind enough coffee in one go for a coffee maker.

I bought the Dualit EL60 from "Whittards of Chelsea" in September 2008 to grind coffee beans for my "Gaggia Baby Classic" espresso machine and paid £28 in the end of summer sale. When making espresso by hand using a machine with a handle, you need to ensure that the coffee grinds are in a fine powder as this lets you can maximise the crème layer on your espresso. Being aware of this I quizzed the assistants in both Whittards and my local speciality ...
...of any specific environmental concerns Dualit may have with their packaging but I recall being able to recycle the entire packaging except for one tiny plastic bag, through my council provided recycle box- something I like as a "green-as-possible" consumer Having used my coffee machine and hence this grinder to make my espresso's every day for approximately six months or so now I can confirm this machine is reliable and does not appear to have blunted ...
