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 ...

Why has the price doubled??

Advantages: Excellent Coffee and Easy to Use
Disadvantages: Price of machine (now anyway)

We have Flavia machines at work which is how I was introduced to them, and having tried them and loved them I decided to buy one for myself, so I purchased the Flavia Fusion (Black) and I loved it. I even introduced my mum and dad to them and now they want a machine too. Everyone who has tried the coffee from this machine, loved it, and the fact your can do creamy topping on it too, is excellent. The range of sachets is excellent too. However, ...
...doubled since I bought one, as I paid approx £80 for mine and now they are £150. I also got a free starter pack and you have to pay for those now. What the deal with that, I am so disappointed, as you would expect the price to come down not go up. ;o(( ...

love hot beverages? you love this machine too.

Advantages: Ease of use
Disadvantages: Nothing found yet

I spent about 100 pound and got One of the best hot beverages machines I found in the domestic kitchen appliances stores. I searched high and low for a good machine and got opinions of my family and friends circle and I've got to say this is a good machine that pays back what you have paid for it . Low consumption of electric and compact design are some feature which makes this machine lovely. Ease of use, pour the coffee and click the on/off button. ...

Lovely design - practical and stylish

Advantages: Design and reliable
Disadvantages: Cost - and no cappuccino bits

I have the previous model of this coffee machine and it's been great. The element has finally given up the ghost, but it's lasted well, as it's had (sometimes multiple) daily use for several years - I used to work from home! The way it keeps the coffee hot without stewing it is great (the coffee goes into a very efficient vacuum flask rather than sitting on a hot plate and getting more and more chewy and full of cholesterol as the hours go on), and ...
...with satisfying steam train noises and a nice decisive "whoosh" as it finishes brewing). It takes standard filter papers and is quick and easy to load with ammo. It doesn't do espresso, heat milk or anything else other than make good filter coffee. You can do a full or a half pot and it's good at getting the most out of your coffee - we tended to need slightly less coffee than with other machines. The flask has a nice chunky feel to it and the water ...

12 tiny cups of coffee!

Advantages: Cheap, perfect for a small kitchen!
Disadvantages: says it will make 12 cups of coffee but will only make 3 decent sized mugs or 6 small cups!

Cookworks Coffee Machine Introduction Me and my husband love coffee, and drink it daily. We used to have a café tier, you know the little glass things which you put ground coffee into and press down? But one day my husband smashed it by accident and so since it’s been instant coffee all round. Two days ago I saw an advertisement for this Cookworks coffee machine from Argos for just £4.99, it said it would make 10-12 cups of coffee, ...
...family came down as it would mean we could make a pot for all of us, as if it would make 10 cups of normal sized coffees, it would make around 5 large cups of coffee which is how big our cups are. We weren’t expecting much from a £5 coffee machine, but thought if we got good quality coffee , it would be fine, and then when we did get another café tier, we would be able to use that for me and my husband, and use the coffee machine when we had more ...
