How much better can a kettle be?
Review of Morphy Richards 43312 by
Finchie
Advantages: Quiet, quiet, quiet
Disadvantages: None
I bought this kettle to replace a stainless steel one that was so noisy that I couldn't hear the radio when it was boiling!
I'm pleased to be able to say that I made the right choice when selecting this kettle with quiet boil technology. OK, it's not ...

Kenwood's Classy Kettle
Review of Kenwood SJM250 by
pink_champagne
Advantages: Boils quickly, 360 degree base, cord storage
Disadvantages: cheap looking button!
I had been using a cheap Cookworks kettle that was bought in the Argos sale for just £4.99 around 5 years ago and although it was very basic it had lasted me well. When it started to leak though, I had to look for a replacement, rather than run the risk o ...

Italian Style, and Delicious Coffee!
Review of Gaggia GD One W by
NickleIckle
Advantages: Looks, Quality, Ease of use
Disadvantages: Expensive, takes a while to be ready to use
I have used this machine for a little over a year now at work in the shop where I work. We are not a cafe, so we don't sell huge amounts of hot drinks each day - about 15-20 drinks on average, and this machine was recommended for our amount of use.

Quick review of Siemens TK 68 E 570
Review of Siemens TK 68 E 570 by
laretta
I am happy with this coffee machine. It gives a good crema and nice flavour - coffee does not taste burnt. It is very easy to use and even easier to run a cleaning cycle - it really does do all the work for you.
A drawback is that you can not tailor the measures to your own cup sizes and occasionally the beans do not automatically drop into the grinder and need a little help. ( this only happens with certain brands of beans)

Review of Krups KP200040 Dolce Gusto by
sbaynes
This is a good coffee making machine but it is let down by the cost of the pods (over £3 for 8 coffees)
I love my machine - mainly because I got it for free

Gaggia Baby Twin = designed to annoy you
Review of Gaggia New Baby Twin by
AA747
Advantages: it wakes you up in the morning, not with coffee, but with frustration and anger.
Disadvantages: Dangerous, time-wasting, unreliable, poor repair system, no hard water filter
If you wish to know true hatred then buy this machine.
If you want to reach the point of smashing your £350 pile of expensive crap to pieces, then go ahead buy this machine.
But if you just want to have a nice cup of coffee, forget it.
It was designed ...

Water good show
Review of Brita Marella Cool Water Filter by
Gary25
Advantages: Makes tap water taste great, removes impurities
Disadvantages: Initial outlay and too big to fit into most fridges
I go through phases and at the moment I'm fed up with tea and coffee, carbonated drinks leave me bloated, and we all know the side effects of drinking too much fruit juice, so that leaves water.
Where I live, our tap water is not the greatest. It has a ...

Great budget performer
Review of Gaggia Espresso by
tyneman
Advantages: Cheap, good pump pressure, easy as pie to use.
Disadvantages: Recent units use aluminium -can corrode
We drink a hell of a lot of coffee here and this is the culprit! It is cheap, its pretty well made and is a great introduction to a good espresso (or cappucino, frothy hot choc etc) The unit design has not changed much since they were released but some ...

A classy looker and an impressive performer
Review of Gaggia New Baby Class by
JonnyCarpo37
Advantages: Looks good. Solidly made. Excellent coffee once you learn how to use it!
Disadvantages: Takes time to learn how to use it and get good, consistent results.
A year of ownership and I am still impressed with its looks and even more so with the coffee it makes. It takes time and patience to learn how to use the Baby Class properly so if you are the type of person who wants to press one button and have exactly t ...

Review of Tesco CM16 by

We bought one at Christmas 2007. It has now failed....that's less than one year old. Not very impressive. It was never very good at keeping the coffee hot and it now refuses to heat the water. It is now junk.
