Morphy Richards 162008 Pour Over Filter Coffee Maker, 1.8 Litre, 900 W, Black, Morphy Richards Coffee Machine
Morphy Richards 162008 Pour Over Filter Coffee Maker Black
The new trend in coffee in your own home
New to the world of coffee – ‘Pour Over’ filtering. Morphy Richards has combined the superior taste of manual pour over coffee, with the ease and convenience of a programmable machine. It’s appropriate for those who enjoy the true taste of coffee, but want it delivered quickly and conveniently.
Pour over is becoming increasingly popular due to the fuller, smoother, less bitter tasting coffee it produces. The pour over includes two key features to create this flavour.
- Programmable timer that allows you to wake up to a fresh coffee
- Pour over technology shower head to create a fuller flavour
- Reusable permanent ‘cupcake shaped’ filter to create a smoother flavour
- 1.8 L capacity for up to 12 cups
- Adjustable coffee strength selector
Firstly a ‘cupcake’ shaped filtre which allows for a more even flow of water over the coffee grounds, delivering a smoother taste, unlike a traditional cone filtre which can over-extract the coffee in the narrowest part of the filtre, resulting in a bitter taste.
Secondly, the specifically adapted brewing process which mirrors the manual methods used by baristas. This process initially delivers a small volume of water over the grounds and allows the coffee a few minutes to ‘bloom’ (releases carbon dioxide and extracts the flavours), before dispensing the rest of the water.
This machine also comes with a programmable timer which allows you to wake up to fresh coffee every morning, plus an adjustable coffee strength selector so you can tailor the flavour intensity to your taste. The 1.8 L capacity can brew up to 12 cups at once and the keep warm function will keep your freshly brewed carafe warm for up to 25 minutes.
Complete the Accents collection, with this Pour Over Filter Coffee Machine – it will change the way you drink coffee.

Pour over shower headPour over shower head evenly disperses the water over the coffee grounds, ensuring they are fully covered and maximum flavour can be extracted from the coffee. | Reusable cupcake filtreThe cupcake shaped filtre allows even coverage of the coffee thereby avoiding over and under-extraction of coffee which is commonly found when using cone shaped filters. The cupcake filtre can be used with or without additional disposable filter papers. | Versatile and easy programmingThe machine includes a programmable timer so you can pre-set the time you wish your coffee to be brewed. It also includes a coffee strength selector so you can tailor the strength specifically to suit your taste. The machine automatically adjusts to the optimum brew strength when brewing small volumes (1-4 cups). |
1.8 L Capacity
Brew from 1-12 cups at a time, perfect whether preparing one morning coffee or entertaining.
Keep warm function
After your machine has brewed a fresh carafe of coffee, it will keep it warm for up to 25 minutes.

Pity does not come with a thermal jug as the timer is not long enough. Produces a full jug of coffee in about twenty minutes. Flavour fairly good.
The only thing I found that was a slight faulty was the level markings were in the wrong colour,Black would have worked a lot better…
Great coffee maker. Love love love the timer function. Coffee ready for me every morning when I fall down the stairs .
Only thing is the jug is not meant to go into the dishwasher but I put it anyway and had no issues so far. Mother in law has done the same now for over 1.5yrs and also no issues..
Machine itself works, timer function great but all the symbols on the buttons have rubbed off within 2 weeks of having it so we have no idea what each button does. Other parts feel flimsy particularly the lid.
It can make good coffee. The machine is designed to be left switched on so that the timer stays on, but we don’t do this. Therefore everytime it’s switched on the timer wants to be set before you can brew the coffee! For us there are too many settings it’s unnecessarily complicated and we just need to switch on and brew the coffee, but you have to run through the various settings before it will start brewing. I prefer the basket style filters that this machine uses. In future I will buy a more basic filter machine.
The coffee machine is in use several times a day. The flavour is exceptionally good and very consistent The reheat facility is the best we have come across. Separating the filter papers can be a little tricky! Excellent for the price, delivery on time.
Makes good coffee like its predecessor, but I don’t like the internal water gauge (black in a black interior) which you can hardly see so you need to use the jug – the old one had a proper water gauge on the side. Also the buttons are starting to wear after a couple of months use which is disappointing.
This is such a good coffee maker and I read most of the reviews and some for others. The strength of coffee making is a delight and it is so easy to use (if pouring the water into it is a problem use a funnel). Overall I wouldn’t be without it. Been in use for several months now. Also I only use the coffee bought in cheaper outlets eg home and bargains, aldi
This is the first filter coffee maker I’ve had that uses basket shaped filters and the result is smooth and clear. The strength adjustment works very well – you can tell the difference in flavour. The machine is easy to clean and seems sturdy enough. It is also very good value for money.
Bought for my fussy daughter – it had to be red! But she also likes good coffee with minimum fuss; she especially loves the timer feature which means her morning coffee is ready to into her portable cup as she heads off to work. Busy girl. For the techy or coffee-snob minded (err, just like Dad) this item has good reviews for the temperature control which I am told is really important for a good coffee brew.
Bought this to blend in with the other Morphy Richards products we have in red and as I prefer filter coffee to instant. This was well made and makes a nice cup of coffee. As with most it takes some getting used to with amounts of coffee and strength rating, it has 3 intensity ratings and squirts water onto the coffee first to let the flavour develop which I think is a great touch as I like a strong cup. Makes up to 12 cups in coffee cup size or 6 mugs worth. My first one broke just outside of the warranty with it just dying one day, Amazon were great sending out a new one without question and let me do wherever with the old one so could have tried to get it fixed but it ended up in the electronics box at the recycling centre as I didn’t need it and the new one worked perfectly.
Very easy to use and I like the reusable filter and timer. When first brewed the coffee isn’t that hot however the keep warm feature heats it up quickly.
We’ve only had the machine a couple of weeks, so I have no idea how well it might last. I would have given the machine 5 stars as my initial impression if the leaflet had simply said that the reusable filter is really just a last resort when you’ve run out of paper filters, and suggested a source of suitable paper filters.
Very pleased with this product, though I would prefer it if the machine did not have a limit on how long it kept the coffee warm – but that is the current design and it does exactly what it says. This produces a very nice cup of coffee. I personally don’t use the timer function – there is nothing wrong with it but I don’t value this facility.
Great coffee maker, I wanted to leave a review until I had been using it for a few months, I am very pleased with this purchase, simple to use and makes great coffee. Keeps it warm for a good while too. Totally recommend.
First impressions – I like the overall shape and design of the machine. It’s neat and tidy, fits into the designated area much better than the machine it replaced. I like the way the carafe fits in its space.
The machine lid design is much better as it is tight fitting and there is less steam escape. Also, filling is easier since the spout arm swings up when the lid is raised.
One word of caution – because of the shiny, pseudo chrome finish on the handle of the carafe, make sure it and your hand is dry when handling, otherwise it will be very slippery.
Performance – Before using it for the first time, all removable parts were hand washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed. The machine had a pot of vinegar and water run through, then three pots of cold water. There was no plastic smell or taste in the first pot of coffee.
This machine brews a fast pot of hot coffee. Hot being the key word.
I’ve not tried the timer, and more than likely won’t, since my wake-up times are variable and there are dogs to be seen to before settling down with the first cup. It quietly brews whilst I am going about my chores.
There is a 25 minute timer for the hot plate, and once the brewing cycle ends the timer kicks in and is shown in the display. I really don’t worry about this as it has long been my practice to preheat a glass lined thermos carafe with boiling water while the coffee brews; and as soon as it finishes decant it into the thermos. The coffee stays hot for many hours, the oxygen doesn’t get to it to turn it bitter, and most importantly, the coffee doesn’t ‘cook’. NB: It should be GLASS lined. Stainless will work, but NOT keep the coffee as hot as a glass lined one does.
Niggles – There is too much ‘sludge’, fine sediment from the filter, (but NO actual grounds) in the bottom of the carafe after brewing. We have an old 4 cup Melita with paper filters which the coffee can be drunk to the last drop in the pot. I will be purchasing paper filters to try in this machine. (UPDATE – Purchased filters and the brewed coffee is clear to the last drop! Perfect!)
The digital clock is not continually back lit, only when pushing buttons, so it can’t be casually used as a clock. Hard to get used to!
Notionally a 1.8 L or 12 cup….more like 11 cups once brewed. Can not compensate by adding a little additional water to the reservoir as is full to the top with the 1.8 measure mark.
Having trouble getting the same strength of coffee from it as from the old machine – without adding more beans. We are up to the third setting, using the same measure used with all the filter coffee makers we’ve had, and the coffee just has not reached the strength we are used to. (UPDATE – Either we got used to the taste, or the perfect strength for us settled in at the 3 bean marker.)
I can see over time the symbols on the buttons might become worn off, but if you use them that often you should have a memory of what they were for! Like computer keys. 😉
UPDATE – My husband’s niggle with the machine is there are no water indications on it at all. Unless filling the reservoir to the top, the coffee carafe with its measures must be used as there is no way to tell how much has gone in. So, his practice of using the water filter jug directly to the machine is void. Doesn’t niggle me.
Overall, I very much like this machine. It met the criteria – enough coffee from one pot to meet our requirements (almost – we do argue who gets the last cup sometimes), makes a hot cup of coffee, brews it quickly. It does not take up a lot of room, and blends in well.
I took off one star for the useless clock display and the brew strength issue. If that rights itself, I may upgrade the rating.
But, yes, even with these niggles, I would recommend this machine. Now, here’s hoping it works longer than a year and a day!
A month on, and I’ve no reason to change my first impressions. I still would highly recommend this machine.
As expected – 4th Machine – nprmally pack up after about 15 months – but we are 3-4 pots a day people
This is a great machine it’s body is plastic but decent quality and the finish is very good. The coffee is not too warm when it’s made so no burnt coffee and the warming plate beats it up a treat although it stated 45 mins but mines is 25 mins instructions aren’t the best but it’s very easy to work and very quick to fill and dispense. Overall I am very happy with this machine
Even better than previous version. We replaced our 7 year old Morphy Richards (after smashing jug accidentally). After researching all other coffee makers, we decided to replace our old one, which served us well, with the upgraded version – we’re not disappointed!! Slightly sleeker look, easier cleaning, and a large amount of great filter coffee kept warm for those lazy weekend mornings. Just perfect. Pay less for more.
Really great , easy to use . Just wish it would stay on longe
Compact easy to use coffee machine with strength adjustment. Coffee hot and smooth after only a short time filtering and kept hot.
Love this coffee maker – super easy to use. The timer is a lifesaver for early starts, coffee is all ready to go when you get up. Only downside is having to guess how much coffee to put in per cup. One spoonful per cup definitely isn’t enough, but once you figure that out, it’s perfect.
Had a coffee machine but family member used it n didn’t clean it. Ended up mouldy!! So told em ur paying 4 it!! Got this 2 replace it n its alot better than my other. N different settings 4 strength n timer plus additional cleaning function. I love this 1. N nobody allowed 2 touch it!!
We use this everyday , maybe twice a day! Never fails to make superb coffee ( depending on coffee used) easy to use and feels quality , the timer is great for having hot coffee when u wake up . If it broke tomorrow I’d buy another in a flash .
I’ve had this for about a month and I’m perfectly happy with it so far. Easy to use, good temperature coffee. It uses slightly less coffee grounds than I used to brew with a cafetiere but once you figure out the right quantities, the coffee is nice.
I bought it for the timer feature, which is great and does exactly what I want it to.
Easy to use,produces great coffee and looks great. Only keep coffee warm for 25′ but after burning a few elements by keeping coffee machines on for long I do not mind.you can always press the keep warm button when it turns of and then keeps it warm for another 25′. Easy to program as well.having coffee ready in the morning is great!
I’ve had a trusty old Morphy Richards Model 47041, which has been serving me very well at the office since 2007 – and still going. Only reason I got a new one was because the glass carafe was broken a couple of times (each time by a careless colleague, not me, I promise) and the last time it was a bit difficult to get a replacement – the model is now obsolete you see. So when I decided to get a new coffee machine, there was really no contest.
This new Model 162009 has a sleek design and more functionality, the pot holds more coffee (so it can be shared with a few more colleagues) plus the new filter design is supposed to make better coffee, or so I heard. It was tough deciding which one to leave in the office though (old or new) but in the end, I had to retire the old model to my home, where I use it only on weekend mornings, while the new one makes me many a coffee mug all day, all week at the office.
I’ve now been using this product for almost 6 months and its only slight downside is that it automatically turns off the hot plate 20 minutes after brewing, while the old one has to be turned off manually. Each has its pros and cons. But overall, good value for money, good thinking, good product.
Very happy with this.
Not tried to do a full clean cycle as yet but it makes really awesome coffee; before I wake up and go downstairs to pour it…
Does exactly what it says, good temp but only stays warm for 20 mins
I love this coffee machine. I’ve used it almost every day since I got it and it’s been great. I set the the timer every night and when I get out of the shower in the morning I can smell the coffee brewing downstairs.
It has a basket so you don’t have to use filter papers, which I like, and it’s easy enough to clean.
Over all a great buy. I hope it proves to be long lasting too!
Great machine. Like the strength control. Easy to use. Makes great coffee and love that I can set the timer to wake up to fresh coffee. Nice looking product.
Don’t drink coffee but my wife is, very handy having the programmer set in the evening for next morning and the keep warm function for keeping it warm for 30 minutes after it is made. Haven’t used paper filters, but it accepts that too.
I am well chuffed with this always wanted a coffe machine was always sceptical of them along the cheaper machines as therew a wide price range on them but very surprised it makes a realy TOP BREW only issue i have is im not sure iv set the time or timer guess time will tell if not I’ll have another look at it. Awesome produc
Well it’s the best machine i have had easy to use as i only drink coffee when the jug of coffee goes cold i poor a cup and then put it in the microwave for 1:20 and you have a cup of coffee hot.
I have a proper espresso machine but needed something for the mornings that I go fishing. Easy to set the timer for 4am so I can wake up and go. I turn the strength all the way up and makes a good, quality cup of coffee for this type of machine.
I get my essential caffeine hit from this each morning. i love the fact that i can adjust the brew strength. The measurement steps inside are a bit hard to read in low light, but that’s easy enough to fix if there is a light on overhead.
Disappointed that it does not fit under the overhead cupboards when lid is raised. Also find filling with water tricky. My dear old filter looked sad but was easier to use. However this one looks great on the counter top!
This is the second time my husband and I have purchased this product. We had some friends who needed a new coffee pot and we gifted it to them. They love it! After our glass carafe broke on our last coffee maker we too decided to purchase this coffee maker and we like it better than our old coffee maker.
Makes good coffee but has a couple of drawbacks-you can’t choose the strength unless making more than four cups and the jug can’t go in the dishwasher. Very simple to use and is light and compact.
Good filter coffee maker. Would advise using paper filters too. Timer is invaluable. Cleans very easily.
Great item. Easy to clean , easy to use . Not huge either so it can sit in a corner of kitchen . I use mine regular , great temp hold .
I absolutely love this! It a great little filter machine. I didn’t know much about filter coffee machines and after reading reviews decided to give this one a go. I’m not disappointed at all. It’s quick, easy to use & I love that it has a little hot plate on it! Would highly recommend if you’re wanting a good but reasonably priced filter coffee machine!
Works very well but I prefer paper filters. This uses a basket design which is not readily available in supermarkets. They are also more awkward than the simpler conical desig
he item arrived on time – i think it’s a great coffee machine – no trouble so far and makes really good coffee. it’s got all the functionality you need for day to day – timer, strength,keeping coffee warm up to 30 minutes after that it switches off automatically. Good buy
Bought this as a present for my mother, she is very happy with it. One thing to note though is that the coffee does not come out boiling hot, it is more like drinking temperature. Not really a problem, but you do have to drink it right away and it would be no good if you like it scalding hot.
The last filter coffee machine I bought was over twenty years ago. It was as basic as can be and cost me about a tenner. I set out to buy a cheap and basic replacement. I had not realised that all coffee machines in the <100 bracket were not created equal in terms of the flavour that they produce. This machine consistently beat machines of similar price in reviews in terms of taste, which is why I purchased it. It was a little more than I had set out to spend but the reviews convinced me that it was worth it.
The only tea I buy is Typhoo, as it really is the only one to provide an 'oo', (well.... maybe Yorkshire Tea, but with Typhoo the 'oo' is easier on the budget). Well, think of this coffee machine as the Typhoo of filter coffee machines - maybe there is another out there that produces as good as an 'oo' but you'd have to pay a lot more for it.
The fact that it looks so sleek on the counter top and like it should have cost a lot more, is just a bonus for me. I've not used the timer yet but intend to, so I can look forward to a steaming cup of coffee when I get back from taking the dog for a walk in these zero temperatures!
Yes, it's a bit more labour intensive than the Tassimo but it's so good that we use it at least a couple of times every day, more at weekends and we're tea-drinkers!
I thought I would be buying the fullest roast (- usually #5 on the packet) to get the flavour I wanted but I've been surprised how intense a flavour this machine produces and have switched down from this to medium roasts and it produces a lovely full intense flavour.
Amazon's price was very competitive and the speedy delivery exceded my expectations.
Was shopping around for my first ever coffee machine. Was worried not buying an expensive one wouldn’t brew good coffee or fall apart.
But got to say I was wrong. All the features on this makes it a joy to use. Well worth the money. 2 year warranty too when you register on their website.
This is my 3rd coffee machine in 2 years. This is by far the best one I have bought yet. Sturdy and looks expensive and attractive. Well worth the money and I buy Taylors of Harrogate coffee to use with it. Brews really well with great coffee. Keeps warm or 20-30 minutes and after that you can press the keep warm button. Over 6 cups and you can increase the brewing strength at the touch of a button. So far, so good. Nothing negative to say.
Happy with this, makes good coffee, easy to clean, and looks slick and neat in the kitchen!
As a filter coffee machine I give it 5 stars. However, after 1 month of using, the clock seems to have a mind of its own. I keep resetting it but it still keeps going wrong. Its annoying but not a huge issue unless you want to use the timer function.
Decent machine, served us well for a year or so – still going.
From what I can tell, the strength adjustment doesn’t do much – though we have it on max anyway.
The machine will stay on for approx. half an hour once the brew is complete. You can turn on the hotplate or reset the timer, for 25 minutes, by pressing the heat button.
After a while water comes out visibly not-so-clean should you run just water through on it’s own, so it may be wise to run some sort of safe cleaning solution through it every now and then.
Nice hot coffee. Easy to use and to set for morning. Just a little awkward to put the water in but no major problem.
As expected this looks good and makes a great coffee. The timer isn’t just what I needed to ensure I get up to a nice brew. The only downside is the length it remain s on once brewed, it seems to switch off after 20 minutes.
This machine does everything I want it to do. Had it over a year now and didn’t want the faff of a machine that I needed to have pods for, or the expense of buying them. This one makes a lovely cup of coffee (of whatever brand you want rather than whatever particular pods you need to buy), is easy to maintain, looks good and doesn’t take up too much room. Would recommend.
Loving the very stylish design which matches the kettle and toaster I have from the same range. It makes really good coffee and is so easy to use. I agree with other comments about the water level gauge which is far from useful but it’s not difficult to use the jug to measure the water and pour in the reservoir. Excellent purchase and am looking forward to lots more perfectly made coffee from this machine.
Amazon really look after us with these lovely items.
It looks good, it’s a great compact size and it’s really easy to program.
Haven’t found any downsides to this machine, especially at the price.
I can honestly say, for somebody that needs a practical machine to give me fresh coffee on a morning, this is the best coffee maker i’ve ever owned.
After doing a huge amount of research I decided on this machine for price, and the good reveiws it has. It is a nice looking machine, really simple to use, and brews a lovely coffee. I absolutely love the timer feature and I am not sure how I lived without this before, having lovely coffee ready when you get up is just amazing. I like the fact you can adjust the strength.
Love the timing feature. Coffee ready for the early morning dog walk !!
Coffee quality is not bad.
Arrived on time. It was a gift for my partner and he seems to like it. I’ve tried setting it up so that the coffee is ready at a specific time in the morning but it hasn’t worked. Like others have said the coffee doesn’t stay hot for too long because the hot plate goes off after a while
The flex could do with being longer as it doesn’t reach the plug I want it to – not that it’s miles away either, so has to be pretty much in front of the socket. Looks really good, no external water gauge to fur up but can be hard to see where to fill to so use the coffee jug to avoid mistakes.
Is a little noisier than my previous one.
This coffee maker was ordered to replace one which we’d had a long time before it broke. we didn’t want a capsule coffee maker, but a basic filter coffee machine with a permanent filter and this machine fitted the bill exactly. it works perfectly, looks good and doesn’t take up too much room on the work surface. It was a good price, too, and we’re very happy with it.
This machine makes really nice coffee. I would have given it five stars but the lid opens slightly towards the end of the brew emitting steam causing a lot of moisture over the machine (as mentioned in other reviews) I have always made sure the lid is firmly closed.
I contacted Morphy Richards to see if it was safe but they have never had the courtesy to reply.
Great coffee machine. The lid is not removable from the jug so makes cleaning etc., awkward which is why it only gets four stars.
great appliance. only issue is the water gauge when filled which is inside and can’t be scene when water inside as droplets cover the numbers/levels.
This has been brilliant. Have been using for 6 months or so now and had no issues whatsoever. Makes good decently strong coffee fairly quickly.
I know other reviews on several coffee makers have complained about the fact that the warm plates now don’t stay on longer than I think 25min but this is a new EU law so it’s not the fault of the coffee maker. And to be honest it’s not an issue! If I want to keep it warm longer I just press the on button again and the time restarts or it can re heat the coffee.
Love the coffee! It’s got a good keep warm function and works well. Defenitely worth what you pay for it. It has its limitations but easily can overcome once you get used to the machine.
Brilliant! I have used this machine everyday for 6 months. Very simple to set up and use. It has no complicated settings. When pre-set, I just press the top left button twice and awake each morning to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The coffee is hot (Approx 85c), which is perfect for me.
I have de-scaled once since purchase using equal parts of water and distilled vinegar. If you are thinking of investing in a coffee machine, this one is a must.
Very good clear instructions the only very little issue, not the easiest to poor water in to start, but would still recommend it.
An excellent cup of smooth coffee and simple to use machine. Unfortunately, the first one stopped working after 9 brews, but the replacement was fast and has worked well since.
Goodbye, hassles!
Downside, it doesn’t retain the heat in standby without remembering to press the ‘keep warm’ button, which lasts 25 min.
On the coffee maker, the lid has twisted slightly after only a few uses, this stops the lid from clipping ‘shut’ without an extra push. Without this being sealed, steam escapes.
The colour is rich and the glass jug is easy to pour.
This is by far my favourite Christmas present from Christmas 2016. It’s been used literally everyday since I got it. My only gripe is the water is a bit awkward to fill.
The best thing about this machine and the reason I got it is that it can be programmed to start at any time. Which is great for when you have to wake up at 4/5am like I do. I set the machine up to start brewing when my alarm goes off and by the time I’ve got up and into the kitchen it’s done (takes about 5 minutes to brew on the strongest/slowest setting to do a large Starbucks style mug) highly recommend it.
It has a “cupcake” shape filter to hold the coffee grounds and includes a reusable filter. Personally I find reusable filters are a pain to clean and the coffee is “grittier”. So I put normal 1/4 paper filter inside the reusable filter which makes cleaning easier and improves the taste. Since these filters are designed for a conical compartment I have to squash them a little to make them fit but it works.
My one minor quibble is that when the unit is not operating the clock is not back lit and is almost impossible to read from any distance so it is little use a clock.
Stylish and compact coffee maker. Makes excellent coffee. The timer which is set for 25mn from when the coffee has been filtered is in my view excellent, firstly, in case you forget to turn the machine off and secondly, the coffee is not left to brew for long to give it an unpleasant taste. I would recommend this machine to any coffee lovers.
Easy to set up and use, although the filling guide for the water is a little difficult to see.
The coffee has a lovely smooth flavour with no bitterness
Coffee is a lot hotter than my old machine, even with cold milk added
A great buy for the price
Very pleased with the coffee machine – it looks very good and makes coffee with a good flavour. I find the measuring steps inside very difficult to manage and can’t understand why this was done. I use the jug to measure the water every time which is ok. In all I am very happy indeed with the coffee maker.
This is great: no plastic smell, compact, nice coffee, easy to use, counter to let you know how long the coffee has been on.
Love it! Wish red had been on prime at time of order though, black is a bit blocky
1- no coffee filter to replace ie paper reuseable
2 -alarm to wake up to ready made coffee.
3-looks good
4- sleek and stylish good form factor
nice colour.
The timer function is also incredibly useful so that you have a nice coffee waiting for you on those early mornings.
Like others said, the 25 min keep warm time is the max and it would have been nice if this could be extended or started again.
Other than this though i highly recommend this. It’s a good machine for the price and looks nice as well. easy to use and setup.
1. For mugs (as opposed to cups) use two scoops of ground coffee. You’ll notice that the cup sizes inside are equal to half a mug.
2. Leave it for about 3 mins after brewing has finished. I noticed that there was still quite a bit of coffee to seep through if you immmediately removed the jug at the end of brewing.
Great filter coffee machine that makes really good coffee, although be careful in your choice of coffee as I found out when I first used it. Not all coffees make a good filter cup (I’m probably stating the obvious here). At the present time I’m using Sainsbury’s decafe and it tastes really good, but I’m sure other coffees will taste just as good, it’s just that I haven’t got around to them yet!
Its a shame that the warm up function doesn’t make it fully hot because I often make too much coffee and then it gets wasted once it goes cold. Otherwise it is quite a good product. Simple to use and to clean.
