We don’t normally go in for electrical kitchen gadgets that will only perform one task; even our toaster has a defrosting rack too. Yes, I know kettles only boil water, but ours is also a filter jug, so there! It therefore comes as some surprise to me that I’m writing about something that will only make coffee, but it’s the nature of the coffee that counts here. Both Ruth and I love our coffee; maybe in some past life, we weren’t English, as our tea use is only about 1/10th of our hot drink consumption. When eating out, I frequently opt for a cappuccino style coffee, either dusted with ... more

This coffee machine is absolutely brilliant. I paid approx. £50 for it and in return got a 3 year warranty (though believe that this was for limited time only and usually comes with a two year warranty) and one excellently built coffee machine.
