Tower T13001 Filter Coffee Machine, 10 Cup Serving with Keep Warm Function and Water Gauge, 1.25L, 1000W, Black & Silver

This makes great coffee and is super easy to use. Great value for money for the cost of this coffee machine. We've bought it twice. Only drawback is that you can't get replacement filters for it as a spare part. Essentially when the filter wears out you have to purchase a new machine. Not very ecofriendly.

Quiter than my DeLonghi, compact and ideal for holiday home. Would have been 5 stars, but despite being extra careful it is impossible not to spill when removing jug.

The reviews made me scared I bought a terrible coffee machine that is going to make one plastic tasting cup of coffee after which I'm going to spend an hour cleaning the machine! All Lies! So here is what to expect from this coffee machine:• the grinder is a bit loud as are all grinders! Let's be realistic! It does not make any more noise than any stand alone coffee grinder.• the machine is small, the carafe is small (and extra cute) but that's what is advertised 600ml is about 2 regular coffee mugs which is what it makes or 4 medium coffee cups so if you are someone looking for a machine to make coffee for more than 2-4 people at a time do not expect this one to be it• yes there is a hot plate to keep the coffee warm and it gets very hot. I have no clue how long it keeps it warm for as we usually get through coffee quick in the morning but I would expect at least 30mins• the plastic taste debate! - we were worried but did not taste any plastic. I would say it's very important to follow the cleaning instructions before use and if ur worried repeat them an extra time just to be sure• the ease of cleaning - well it requires cleaning every time you use it but it really is easy! The grinder and filter come in a removable basket that you can take out and wash.Overall it is a very good bean to cup coffee machine, it's simple without any extra gadgets and makes great coffee in a few minutes while I'm getting ready for the day. It gives you the option to use already ground coffee and to coarsely or finely grind beans so there is a few options. Loving this coffee maker it makes good coffee it doesn't take up half of the kitchen counter and it's simple to use.P.S. not all flavour is down to the coffe maker, put cheap flavourless beans in there and it's going to make awful coffee, you take out what you put in people!

Bought this as I occasionally fancy a coffee. Rather pleased with it as it makes enough for a large mugfull.Dead simple to use either with coffee beans, which it grinds to a switchable coarse or fine or there is a powder option. As others have noted, the grinder is quite noisy but what would you expect? It's grinding hard beans to a coarse dust but only for a minute or so, the end result is worth it.Cleaning is straightforward enough. The business part just lifts straight out using its folding handle and it's then a matter of just lifting out the filter basket which exposes the cutting blades and all can be rinsed in a matter of seconds. One nice feature is the fact there are no drips while carrying it to the sink.Instant is a lot quicker and a lot less fuss but it doesn't have the same aroma.

When I read reviews I bought it but didn't open the box until after 3 months as I moved to different country. I was so disappointed when I tried it. I tried it 2 or 3 times and still no good coffee at all. I gave it away. Use a normal Italian coffee maker and certainly you will enjoy good coffee but not this one

I’ve never had a coffee making machine before and wanted to taste ‘real’ coffee straight from the bean rather than the instant stuff. I’m very impressed with this machine and it’s just what I was looking for. Easy to use and easy to clean, despite what some have moaned about on here. Once finished making the coffee, you just take the top compartment off, knock the ground coffee bean gunk out and rinse with water. Rinse the filter also. Just as easy as cleaning a cafetière. The glass jug that fills up with coffee contains enough for about two mugs, which is perfect for me but you might need a bigger one if you’re expecting to feed a family with coffee! I’ve had no plastic taste from this machine and the coffee taste depends on the quality of coffee you put in it. Currently liking the Starbucks Expresso Dark Roast, very smooth. Definitely a big difference between coffee ground straight from the bean with this machine and instant coffee. Great little machine that doesn’t take up too much worktop space and a very reasonable price.

I've bought this as I've been craving ground coffee at home for some time, I wanted a more expensive machine but thought I would go with this first to see if I would use it enough. I'm quite impressed with first use, it's a bit noisy grinding but that's understandable. It works great & is quick at brewing the coffee, the first mug was not as hot as I would have liked (I like my coffee piping hot though) but after it had been on the hot plate for 5 minutes the second mug was better. For first use I would give this machine 8.5 out of 10, the carafe & water tank only hold enough for two large mugs of coffee, but this is an entry level machine so is expected. Good old British brand I'm happy to give my money to 👍*Update after owning this for over a year, still a good machine used infrequently as I like lattes & try to avoid too much milk, only gripe I have with this is the jug is extremely thin glass, how I've not broken it even placing it on the drainer is beyond me2 years on & it's still going strong but thats probably down to the fact I only use it a few times a month, just be careful with the jug it is thin glass & very delicate. I would recommend this for occasional use for a daily machine definitely not

Excellent Filter Coffee Machine, easy to use and at a great price
