Tower T13005 Bean to Cup Coffee Maker with Coarse and Fine Grinding Options and Removable Water Tank, 900W, Black

Received yesterday in the usual courier bruised packaging, product itself is safe and sound and well protected inside.Did a double rinse through with just water (instructions only say you need to do this once)First coffee this morning...Temperature is hot but not boiling, poured straight into a thermos for the day and it's just above comfortable drinking temperature.No leaks, smooth flow...The grinder is a loud but quieter than my old coffee machine and coffee came out tasting great.Easy to clean with a full pull out top (grinder, water reservoir and filter) just make sure everything is dry before you put it back together!It is a cheap and cheerful machine with no frills but it does what it says on the tin (at least on day one) and is getting the job doneUpdate one week on: The machine is still running great and I'm in the flow with it, due to time I try to make my morning coffee and coffee to go at the same time but as the pot is relatively small this can be a challenge, my solution.Measure out the water for my morning coffee cup and put in four scoops of beans (intensity 5 from a large supermarket chain, surprisingly great coffee and price for 1KG!) set the machine to fine grind and let it run, once the first batch has filtered through, open the lid and wait a couple of minutes for the pressure to drop and then fill with enough water for my thermos, select the coffee powder option and let it run.Coffee comes out hot enough to drink but not too hot where it burns your mouth or too cold where you need to microwave or top up with water from the kettle.Cleaning is also a breeze, everything in the brewing cycle is removable, even the water spout at the top, a well thought out and designed machine, longevity is yet to be seen.

Compact unit easy to use fit for purpose bean coffee maker.

Fantastic coffee machine very easy cleaned makes great coffee definitely recommend

A very efficient and neat little machine. It is smaller than I expected but all the same perfect for two cups of coffee for me. It keeps the coffee hot albeit only for 30 minutes. The grinder is quite noisy but only for a few seconds and the coffee is done in a couple of minutes. I can happily recommend this coffee machine.

What we have is something that's aimed at the casual single cup coffee drinker, I was Obviously drawn to the cheapest bean to cup option,I really shouldn't have bothered... coffee itself isn'tthe problem, no problem with grinds it has fine & coarse..heats perfect( is actually better than my broken delonghi) the majority of problems are it's far too small...if you have 4-6 people you'll spend a hour at least mincing about...Pouring is annoying you have to be very slow due to spillage...never known anything so awkward! & it's a complete bitch to clean as you have to remove the whole tank part & rinse the filter etc which is a damn pain & much more water waste than necessary. I'll be using this for a spare as soon as I can afford something more decent!

Absolutely brilliant

Decent

This is great, put the coffee beans in the top press the button and out comes my coffee , very much like an American, my only gripe is it does take a lot of cleaning the filter that is, I'm very particular about cleaning it but, put up with it I will. I would buy it again. Dave
