Russell Hobbs 10081

Advantages: great for in the morning
Disadvantages: no use without the provided cups

I was very impressed to receive this coffee maker as a present from my girlfiren when i started a new job. I was going to comute on the train and she thought it would be perfect so i could take a coffee with me each morning save me having to pay GBP2 for a dodgy cup of station slop. The set up is pretty simple; it works exactly like a standard filter machine with one reusable filter (excellent by the way and very hard wearing), and slight adjustments ...
...lot of spillage. If you've got your filter machine technique worked out then you can get a good cup of coffee out of it I found two problems with the machine however. You can realistically only use the carry out cups to make the coffee as trying to the distance between the drip tap and a noraml mug is to much and the coffee jsut splash all over the place and the lids for the cups are terrible!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Messy, hard work, faulty

After two days of tryng it, it finally gave in and stopped working. This machine cost me £20 to make a mess and one and half cups of coffee. I then went to Asda and bought a Hinari 10 cup coffee maker for £7.99 with permenant filter and it works fine. ... Read review
