Coffee Machines

Fresh coffee in an instant

Advantages: A huge variety of drinks
Disadvantages: Some of the drinks are too small

...searching, the owner of a Bosch Tassimo coffee machine. Our cheap filter coffee machine packed in so we have been relying on the cafetiere, which is great but you are left with bits of coffee at the bottom of your mug! I have read so many reviews on coffee machines and still couldn't make up my mind. I looked at a variety of machines in shops but they were often very bulky. The filter coffee machines in the past have always been good but I wanted ...
..."a starbucks at home idea." *** Three weeks ago we are again staring at the coffee machine shelf in John Lewis and noticed the Tassimo. It was compact, pleasing to eye and offered a huge variety of coffees, hot chocolates and teas. It was also fairly reasonably price at £97 although I see now you could purchase it cheaper from Amazon. An impulse purchase and we bought the red one. We get home open the box but no freebie discs. How annoying we really ...

Review of Bosch TAS4011GB

Coffee Tastes of Plastic

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: Coffee tastes of plastic, sticker across the front that won't come off

Took the product out of the box and there was a huge sticker stuck across the front that would not come off. Spent nearly half an hour trying to peel off this sticker in tiny pieces. When it did finally come off left a big mark right across the front where the sticker was. This will not come off so the whole thing just looks cheap and tacky. Ran the machine through with clean water as per instructions, then made coffee. Water is easy to fill up, ...

Review of Morphy Richards 47070 CAFE Matino

Delonghi ICM2 Coffee Maker

Advantages: Ease of Use, inexpensive
Disadvantages: no cord storage

Bought this from Homebase For £12.99. Its available in Black or white, it is basic its only function button being the on/off button on the front,although there is a more expensive model which has auto timer if needed. It has a permanent washable filter which is handy and also a money saver. It makes at least 10 decent mug sizes of coffee and keeps it adequately hot. The water filter runs around the rear of the filter and has transparent sides and ...

Review of Delonghi ICM2

The Alpha and Omega of All Coffee-Makers

Advantages: Great lattes and easy automatic cleaning function. Adjusts to almost any cup height.
Disadvantages: Expensive and parts get stuck sometimes.

The Philips HD 7850/60/61 Senseo Latte Select B is a good addition to the kitchen, provided you really love lattes. It is quite stylish and black, which is a plus in my opinion, and it's also pretty small, so it fits in my tiny kitchen. It's by far the most chic coffee-maker I've ever come across and it has a few add-ons which make it very easy to operate. It filters coffee very quickly ( 30 seconds) and it has and automatic turn off, both of which ...
...Actually, in my opinion, quick is the only way to go when you want coffee, because you are usually drinking it in the mornings before work. It makes a wonderful latte in my opinion, but I've found the capuccinos and latte machiato to be tasty as well/ It will also make cafe lattes and just plain old coffee. The add-ons I mentioned previously are unusually helpful, as coffee makers go. It has strength settings for the coffee, so when you stay out ...

It really is a smart way to drink coffee

Advantages: Keeps your coffee warm, easy to clean.
Disadvantages: Girlfriend borrows it :-)

...sale I came across the SmartCafe Hot Mug. I think it cost me about £1.99 at the time and it has proved to be a most valuable purchase. So valuable that I often cannot find it as my girlfriend has taken to using it whenever it is available. Features Well, it's a mug. But wait! This is not an ordinary mug. It has one of those plunger things that you find in your everyday cafetiere. So to use, simply put your coffee grounds in the bottom, add ...
...brilliant! The excitement doesn't stop there however, the mug is double walled, so if you like to take your time drinking your coffee then it's not going to get cold quite as fast. Does it work? Yes, it does. The plunger has a rubber edge to allow it to glide along the inside wall of the mug whilst maintaining a good seal. The handle part slides into the wall of the mug by the handle. The mesh in the plunger is fine enough to keep the coffee ...
