Easy to use and clean. Takes about 5 minutes from start to finish. It takes a little longer when grinding fresh beans. Very pleased with this purchase. A little more costly than my old filter machine, but much quicker and the timer is ideal to wake up to fresh coffee.
This is a great machine that performs well above its price range!
It’s straightforward to use, the schedule feature is foolproof and the freshly ground beans make a great coffee!
So far the build quality seems great too. There’s no fragile or easy to break or lose parts, and cleaning and filling is straightforward.
The only potential downside compared to more expensive machines is that you have to measure the beans and water, rather than it automatically taking the required amount from a big reservoir – but it’s easy to just fill it after cleaning anyway so no real loss.
Very impressed with this Coffee machine ! All cleanable parts are detachable with no blind spots that accumulate granules. Only used whole beans so far, but there’s no “dusty” taste which is apparent in more expensive machines. Its small and sleek design means it doesn’t take up too much room. Extra bonus is that it has a programmable timer to wake you up in the morning with the sound of the beans grinding 🙂
It’s a decent coffee machine with grinder. We’ve been using it for over two weeks now and I can tell that the plastic taste has gone and have learned how much coffee we need to our preferred strength. The spoon included is ridiculously too small! If you brew coffee according to their instruction with the spoon, you’ll get a very weak coffee! ( I saw a lot people mentioned about the weak coffee)
So you just need to add more coffee according to your taste. However I give only three stars for the grinder and the end result. Disappointingly it’s not as flavourful as I was hoping so I’m not using it often.
We’ve had several coffee machines in the past, mainly of the ‘pod’ type which are flexible and provide many options for types of coffee.
But I like a real coffee taste and flavour and always wanted try try a ‘bean to cup’ machine that wasn’t huge amounts of money.
This one was on a good deal and I had some birthday money available so I gave it a go.
I’m glad I did. The Machine is easy to set it up, has a lot of great features and makes great coffee. It has a reasonable instruction manual and the only thing I’d change with that is to tell you that when you’re making coffee from beans, to allow the grind to continue until it finishes – don’t be panicked into turning it off yourself (yes, I did!).
You can make coffee from already prepared coffee grinds if you don’t want to use beans, and if you follow that path the brewing process is even easier.
I like it, I like it a lot.
Love this machine easy to use and coffee I lovely. Haven’t used the timer function but makes a lovely fresh brew at the touch of a butto
Had the very same model for over 5 years before it starting leaking from the bottom of the heating unit. Got the same model for the same price and I’m very happy with it, using it nearly every day.
Really good machine. Keeps hot for 2 hours and if you turn the grind off and re warm it gets the jug of coffee hot again Timer means you can wake up to coffee or have it ready for when you get home Really pleased with i
Love my new machine, works perfectly love having two options for coffee beans or ground….
Smaller than my previous automatic coffee machine and easier to clean.
Also filters water, although I filter all my water from the tap, but it is a great option.
Great Purchase very happy!
Its a very nicely made, compact coffee machine. It makes good coffee, and it is quiet. I like the timer and the jug which fits nice and snug. My only dislike is that when I make coffee the grinder compartment gets condensation and even on occasion when Im not using it to make coffee. Plus I don’t find it easy to clean and the compartments do seem to hold some of the residue even though I take it all apart to clean it thoroughly.
So easy to use. I love that we can use coffee beans OR instant coffee. Cleaning is easy too but needs doing after every use. The only negative is that I like super strong coffee and hubby doesn’t, ha! Great value for money. We were worried how it would turn out as our first coffee machine as the price was so low with more expensive ones for sale. Its very basic but it’s exactly what we were afte
I really like this machine and it’s easy to use and clean. Timer is very handy. It looks good in my kitchen. The built in grinder is super loud though, that is my only negative point.
This is my 3rd bean to cup machine and by far the best. Easy to use and clean and the coffee is really hot.
Use this machine daily and really pleased with the resulting coffee.
Nothing to dislike about this grinder/coffee maker. Good heat level (only stays on heated plate for 35 mins, but can easily be extended by pressing the NO GRIND button and then the POWER button).
It’s a bit tedious to have to completely clean it each day but I take the opportunity to fill it with beans and water for the next morning.
Then with halfopen eyes all I need to do is stab THE POWER button and then sink into my comfey chair and listen to and smell fresh coffee.
The hardship is having to get out of the chair to fill my mug.
We had a grind and brew for years when it finally gave up on us we replaced with same . Brilliant . we use ours every morning for our coffee fix.
This machine is great. It is reliable. It’s carafe has a great capacity. Some reviews indicate a plastic flavour that persists. I ran the machine 3 times before first use. Twice with water. Then with coffee (and drank it). No significant issues with any plastic flavour.
The hopper is sufficient in capacity for the full carafe at a good strength.
It’s very easy to clean and disassemble.
Never used it with pre-ground coffee.
A bit noisy when grinding fresh beans but no issues thereafter.
Program functions works fine.
Looks good but is slightly on the large size.
The only real criticism I have is that the carafe lid doesn’t have a hinge and flick lever. It’s got a click to place lid system, this singles it out against most other carafes and is a bit annoying.
Other than that minor issue. It is fantastic. I use it 4 times day and would buy again without hesitation. Strongly recommended.
Edit: I found a workaround to keep the warming plate going. When it turns off just hit the grind off button and press start again. This will turn the hotplate back on for another 35 minutes.
Washing up is a bit of a bind though, but fiddly.
Been using it now for over 6 months, and I absolutely love this machine. The coffee is always perfect, and since I got this machine, I find almost impossible to drink any other home mad coffee, weather is Instant, or pot coffee, none of them can come close to a freshly made coffee from this machine.
Overall 10/10
Good delivery
Bought to replace a similar product we got from Aldi.
This was slightly more expensive even as a Amazon warehouse deal, but it is much better quality than old one.
Works well, we only fill up to 10 cups mark as coffee bit weak otherwise
This is NOT a proper coffee maker hence only 80 not 300 as long as you know that you will not be disappointed
Also handy that you can set up the night before and then put on timer for the morning so waking up to the smell
