Obviously, like every coffee machine, your drink will only be as nice as the coffee you put into it. The best machine in the world won’t save bad coffee. As I have alluded to, filter coffee machines are a bit of a passion of mine. Aside from my childhood fascinations, I really love the fact that they make it incredibly easy to make a really good cup of coffee. I really think that there should be one in every coffee-drinker’s home. There is a stylish blue ‘light ring’ along the bottom of the machine which will tell you how long since the coffee was brewed – solid blue means that it is less than 20 minutes since it has been brewed, whereas flashing blue means between 20-40 minutes. It’s not recommended that you drink coffee after this point as you start to notice a significant drop in quality. As your coffee brews, the keep warm plate will maintain its temperature, so it’s hot and ready when you’re ready to pour.

Regularly clean the coffee machine to prevent any buildup that may affect the taste of your coffee.

If you have a busy morning routine, take advantage of the timer function to have your coffee ready precisely when you need it. When you are measuring out your coffee, as a rough guide aim for one scoop (using the scoop provided) for one cup that you are making. You’ll want to experiment with different amounts, even adjusting it for different coffees, but if you work on this being a ‘medium’ you will find your ideal cup soon enough. After this, you simply lift the lid and pour the water directly into the water tank, which is down the side of the filter.The only problem now is that there are so many different makes and models available on the market that you can become overwhelmed by the choice. What you need is someone to pour over the details of some of the options for you, so you can get the right one to start living the (slightly pathetic) dream life from my childhood. The advanced showerhead technology will ensure that the water is evenly distributed over the coffee grounds, extracting maximum flavor. There is an inbuilt filter within the machine, which means you don’t have to buy paper filters, and the water is dispensed through the machine using a shower head, which quite literally showers the coffee grains to ensure that it covers all of the coffee. This means that more gets dissolved, and you get all the flavour in your coffee. Regular maintenance is key to preventing issues and preserving the quality of your coffee. By following the manufacturer’s cleaning recommendations and descaling the coffee machine as needed, you can enjoy consistently great-tasting coffee for years to come. Descaling the Coffee Machine

Once you have your water and coffee loaded, you shut the lid and, this is where it gets really technical, push the ‘On’ button. Your coffee is now being brewed. That’s all you need to know to make coffee. Start by filling the 1.25-liter water tank with the desired amount of water, taking into account the number of cups you wish to brew. There is something incredibly reassuring about having complete control over the taste of your cup of coffee, and this machine certainly provides you with that. We offer a huge range of Russell Hobbs Coffee Machine Spare Parts for you to choose from. You are sure to find the perfect accessories for your needs when you browse our huge range. The majority of our Russell Hobbs Coffee Machine Spare Parts are available for 2 day UK delivery. My favourite feature is the programmable timer. Again, it’s simple to use, particularly if you’ve ever used an oven made after about 1975. Once you’ve loaded the machine with coffee and water, simply press the timer button, use the ‘h’ and ‘min’ buttons to set the time and press ‘Auto’. You’re all set to come downstairs tomorrow morning to the wonderful smell of coffee.

This doesn’t impact on its functionality though – with a 1.25l capacity you will be able to make up to 10 cups of coffee at a time, which is more than enough for domestic use, even on ‘ those’mornings. The jug has cup quantities marked down the side, so you can measure out exactly how many cups you want to make. One of the perks of filter coffee machines in general is that they operate with such simple processes, so very little can go wrong and you get very consistent results. This machine is no different in that respect. It’s the functionality that makes it stand out from many other machines though, namely the timer. I cannot exaggerate how lovely it is to walk downstairs in the morning, slightly bleary-eyed and dozy, to be greeted by the delicious smell of freshly made coffee. It’s such a great start to the day.

With that in mind, how do you decide which ones are worth buying? Well you should be looking for a few factors: ease of use, consistency of performance, functionality. For a price a little more than that of a decent kettle, this is a brilliant option for anyone looking to buy a filter coffee machine. If you don’t think that you’ll ever use the timer, there are probably cheaper options that might be just as suitable to your needs. If you think, though, that even every now-and-then you would like the option to wake up to fresh coffee, then this is the machine for you. No one likes lukewarm coffee. The built-in keep warm plate of this coffee machine maintains your coffee’s temperature, so you can savor every sip at your own pace without worrying about it getting cold. Pause and Pour Feature Imagine my delight then, that I now live in a world that has made owning a filter coffee machine an entirely achievable goal. They now can cost a similar amount to a round of drinks, or even much less if you go to trendy bars or have lots of friends. Now, it’s time to add the coffee, which you can either do directly onto the inbuilt filter, or you can add a paper filter on top to increase the effectiveness of the filtering process. I tend to use a paper as well, as it can make a smoother cup and completely eliminate any grains getting into your drink, but the in-built filter does a fine job by itself.

Thanks to the pause and pour feature, you can sneak a cup mid-brew without causing any mess or interruptions. With regards to the other features, if you are making a small pot (between 2-4) cups, there is a button to press which ensures you still get as much flavour as possible from the smaller amount of coffee.
