Advantages: cheap

Disadvantages: filling aperture, hotplate, non drip system

Well, it does not exactly do what it says on the can. Yes, it makes adequate coffee and for less than thirty pounds that is a plus, but there are krupps coffee makers that can do exactly the same for a tenner in Asda as I write. As for the non drip, well that is laughable; this thing drips more than any other coffee maker I have ever used. As soon as you lift the pot away from the main unit you are guaranteed to get at least four or five drips. The hotplate is also a bone of contention, it does not give out a great deal of heat and, as a consequence, if you leave your coffee in the cup more than half a minute after making it, it is nearly cold. The filter is a nice touch, sitting in its own little container and easy to add or remove. The water aperture that you pour the water into is ridiculous, it is narrow and I defy anyone with all but the steadiest of hands not to spill some whilst filling it up. All in all it is certainly a cheap buy but it really does feel like it when you use it.
