Krups F MD3 95 PRO Aroma

Advantages: makes great filter coffee, easy to use and clean, cheap, large reserviour
Disadvantages: plain and dull looks wise

...There is nothing better than a hot cup of coffee as soon as I step into work. We are all coffee addicts so we formed a coffee club whereby we all clubbed together to buy a cofee machine and we try new and exciting blends on a weekly basis. After spending £40 on beans, we all decided that the choice of machine was quite irrelevnt as far as taste was concerned and so we bought a fairly cheap Krups F MD2 95 for £30. Made from black strengthened plastic the first impressions we all had when we opened it was that we should have gone for a chrome effect coffee maker. It looks bulky, dull and very plain. Brushing the looks aside, it is very functional and easy to use and this is where it redeems itself and has over the past week weeks led to much back patting with self congratulation at picking up such a bargain. The controls are basic... Read review

Advantages: Looks nice and makes superb coffee in a timely manner. Very nice product.
Disadvantages: For the first few times we used it, it seemed to small somewhat of plastic.

...This is a great little machine - it looks fab, which is important if you want a stylish kitchen, and fits in well with any colour scheme! It is sleek and smooth and very up to date. The 'new' small if plastic took a fair while to go - destracting from the lofwly fresh coffee aroma which pre-empts a great coffee experience. This was despite a good old soaking in the washing up bowl! The coffee stays hot for a long time, and keeps its freshness, and once finished, the machine is so easy to clean, it goes in the dishwasher, and retains its sparkly newness! For the money, its a superb machine! It took me a long time to find a reliable machine which looks well in my kitchen.... Read review

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

...After friends of ours bought a coffee grinder and we'd had a cup of coffee at theirs', my husband decided that beans and not ready-ground coffee was the way 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 top and not take up too much room. Its dimensions 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... Read review
