Other useful features include a water level indicator, pause, pour and auto clean functions, a blue illuminated ring light that lights up when brewing and a keep warm feature. The Buckingham Coffee Maker promises to reach optimum temperature 50 per cent feaster than other machines, meaning less waiting around for that caffeine fix. It also has a 24 hour programmable timer that allows you to set your machine to have your coffee ready and waiting first thing in the morning or after your evening meal. Furthermore, the gadget eliminates the need to buy costly paper filters as it’s fitted with a permanent filter that can be removed and washed, though paper filters can still be added if preferred. It’s attracted more than 7,000 reviews on the Amazon website , giving it an average rating of 4.5 out of five stars. Andrew said: “The coffee this machine produces is hot (but not tongue burning), and extracts the flavour of the grounds beautifully. The coffee grounds are fully used from the well-designed shower-head style water jet, making for more flavoursome coffee, and better economy per cup. “Easy to use, and the manual well explains the functions. The self timer to turn on the machine at a given time is fantastic. My partner and I love waking up to fresh coffee, much improving our morning routine, and making getting fresh coffee in the morning much less of a hassle. “The keep warm feature keeps the coffee just as hot as when it was just brewed for a good 40 minutes or so before switching off. This makes it possible to be running behind schedule (or to have a short lie in) and still have hot coffee in the morning. ” The machine is quick and quiet – a great improvement on our old machine. Honestly, you could easily make a cup of coffee before the rest of your household has awoken.” One shopper said: ” I love this machine . I have just bought my second. The first one lasted me eight years. It’s reliable, robust, stylish, easy to clean and produces really great filter coffee every time. “The single most important feature of this machine is its hot plate. It keeps your coffee hot – not just warm – but hot, ready to drink hot every time.” And another fan put: “Hot, tasty coffee. Replacement for similar type that was wearing out. This one has a different water spray system and the coffee tastes better. Keeps it at a higher temperature too. Makes less noise too.” However, a few people complained that it was difficult to clean, as one reviewer said: “I got about 18 months out of it. Easy to use but awkward to clean. Coffee produced a good clean taste at first but became more noticeably dull over a year or so.” Shoppers can save 拢15 off the price of the Russell Hobbs Buckingham Filter Coffee Machine on Amazon .
