Kenwood CM651 - coffee maker

Advantages: great tasting coffee at a drinkable temperature
Disadvantages: looks quirky (but maybe you like that)

...and finally decided upon the Kenwood CM651. While scouring the market we discovered many different coffee machines which were adorned with various spangaly extras such as timers and "aroma switches" but to be honest - all we wanted was a decent cup of COFFEE! THe Kenwood CM651 has a fairly basic design (which is exactly what we wanted - less to go wrong) Water is poured into the back reservoir which is easily accessable. We use the glass jug for ...
...dribbles! The Kenwoods capacity is 13 cups which is rather generous amount for such a petite design. As we are normally making coffee for two, filling up to the 4cup level makes two rather generous mug-fulls with some to spare or share if we are feeling generous. The design of the water jug looks odd and dispropotioned - however it pours like a dream, so we're not arguing with the design boffins over that one. A button on the top of the machine ...

Kenwood Frothie - Makes a lovely hot chocolate!

Advantages: Mixes cold and hot drinks, enough for the whole family; heats evenly
Disadvantages: Machine is a bit noisy

This frothie maker is excellent. It heats up enough drink (for example, hot chocolate), for a family. Or you can have cold drinks such as milkshake. We just add enough milk and some hot chocolate powder, and it will heat it all up within a few minutes. So everybody's hot chocolate is ready at the same time, and is warm enough. If you have cold drinks, they can be mixed too. Everything is mixed evenly. The only negative is that some people may find ...

Review of Kenwood CL 428 Frothie Drink Maker

Exactly what a coffee machine should be like

Advantages: 2 hour cut off feature, easy to use and clean
Disadvantages: None

I bought this as a gift for my husband because of the good reviews and he loves it. It can make up to 12 cups, which works out at about 6 full mugs. I love the fact that it shuts itself off after two hours as we're both quite forgetful. Its easy to clean and although after a while you may get some brown staining inside the jug it still works perfectly after two years. It takes about 3 minutes to get enough for a mug of coffee. The only downside is ...

Review of Kenwood CM551

Perfect coffee every time

Advantages: Simple to use
Disadvantages: NONE

This is the first coffee machine that I have ever owned, it was bought as a wedding present and I have to say, it is one of my favourite presents. The machine does not take much effort to clean and the users manual explains how to do this and is simple to understand. When brewing a full jug of coffee, the machine will make around 6 mug fulls. It takes roughly around 8mins for a full jug to brew. I have found that it is better to drink the coffee ...

Review of Kenwood CM 176

A Timer and Good Coffee

Advantages: Timer, ease of use, HOT coffee quickly,
Disadvantages: Not as attractive as some trendy machines

What appealed to me about this machine was the timer and the lack of a glass jar. Having used this machine now for over 18 months I can confirm it is the best coffee machine I have ever owned. Not the most attractive machine, but ease of use easily compensates for this. Water is loaded from the top "jug" to a wide open container at the side, avoiding spills. The "jug" is then replaced and a filter holder and reusable filter placed in the top. I set ...
...made coffee every morning. For instant use it takes only a few minutes to make hot coffee which is easily dispenses through a valve at the front. Takes most sized coffee cups and with a bit of imagination you can fill the thermos up directly too. Is still going strong after 18 months and coffee tastes very good. ...
