I bought this when it was on offer along with the suggested filter paper and Illy coffee. It does exactly what it says it does. Easy to use, heats up and brews quickly to optimum temperature with a useful keep warm function. What I like the best about it is that it does not drip! The glass jug is perfect and there is not one single drip from the spout when or after pouring. You can easily get three good mug pours out of it and it is nice and compact for any sized kitchen. It is discreet, silent with absolutely no mess or drips. I will now be buying more for birthday presents. Top tip use filter papers and so mess and washing up. Excellent product, value for money.

I am very pleased with this coffee machine. My wife and I didn't want to allocate a lot of space on our counter for a coffee machine, and we also don't drink a lot of coffee or drink it very often, but we had visitors coming who were big coffee drinkers so we needed a solution.A full jug is marked with a number 5 and makes about three regular mugs of coffee, which is plenty for my wife and me. The coffee is ready quickly, and the hot plate keeps it hot enough.It has an alarm, which works well. You need to leave the machine switched on at the wall all the time or it loses the current time, but you can then set a time when you want the coffee ready and it will turn on and have it ready for you.The machine is easy to fill with water and coffee, the machine lid stays up when you are filling it, and it is easy to clean after use, with the lid of the jug even coming off if needed so you can give it a good clean. It comes with a permanent filter so I don't need to keep buying and folding filter papers, and it really is a one-button operation to start the coffee brewing.The only thing I would have liked would have been an option to have the hot plate stay on longer than 40 minutes, but as they say in the instructions, the coffee is indeed best when it is fresh. I have not tried it, but I suspect I could “re-run” the coffee making operation without water to gain another 40-minutes of coffee warming.The jug seems quite thin, so I have been very careful washing it: I would be surprised if it stood up to rough treatment. And I have also been washing the permanent filter carefully, because once that breaks through I'll need to replace it (not easy?) or start buying filter papers.But overall, this was a keenly priced machine that makes great filter coffee and is perfect for us.

We are happy with this coffee maker . It's very stylish, fits nearly in any corner because it's small and unobtrusive . It makes very smooth coffee guickly, easy to clean , and the plastic is strong and not cheap, with a nice removable filter than cleans nicely . I only gave it one less star because 40 minutes stay on is just not long enough to do I sometimes have to reheat in microwave , but I understand that is probably because it might boil swat if it was too long because of being only three small mugs sizes .otherwise we are very happy with it ! It seems a little pricey , but then imma cheapstate and used to buying things second hand 😊 Thank you !

Nice and simple coffee machine. Really don't need a massive unit as it sits on the counter top and we don't need any extra features (this does have a timer function)Not the biggest, but you'll easily get 2 big cups from it or three stronger, smaller coffees.Nice and durable and cleans easily.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great! But pour it slooooow.

I've been using this for a few months now. It's great to be able to come down in the morning to freshly brewed coffee.You get 2 good sized cups out of it so I have a big one with my breakfast and then fill a travel mug for work. That was a bit too much caffeine for me though so I've had to switch to decaf!The timer is really easy to set. So easy in fact that it's no problem to change the timer for weekends when you want it a little later.One gripe. Unless you pour the coffee reeeaaaalllyy sslllloooowwwwllllyyy the spout dribbles on your worktop. It's infuriating.Overtaking though I highly recommend this product. It really saves time when you're getting ready for work.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for the first cup

The machine I have received is relatively simple to use, good at getting out the first cups at a semi-reasonable temperature but fails to keep any remaining coffee in the jug hot. The temperature falls rapidly, so requires me to pop my filled cup of coffee in the microwave briefly to heat it up a bit. I have to pre-heat the cups from the word go out of necessity or even the first pourings would need to be quickly re-heated. This Swan machine is appreciated. It was cheap and may be handy for people who need a fast cup of coffee in the morning. In my case though, I am on the look-out for a machine that will make and keep the coffee hot for a reasonable period. I might add that I add a little milk and I could try making sure it is room temperature (rather than from the fridge) to improve the outcome - perhaps!.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for single person.

Excellent for a one (1) or two (2) person household. Glad I bought it as it makes my early morning much easier. A good value buy.

1.0 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for....and cold coffee....and a MESS!

Terrible little coffee machine. I am German, I don't do tea - I need coffee! Proper coffee in the morning. I usually buy Melitta or Krups coffee machines as they do coffee nicely, keep the temperature and are easy to clean. This one was SO cheap and mine broke (after 3 years of proper service) so I had to get a replacement quickly, yeah well again: "you'll get what you pay for" (even though, the branded coffemachines from Melitta, Philips, Bosch & Co. are on Bolo.de even cheaper than this one on Bolo.co.uk, but these brands are all German so it makes sense, that they ARE cheaper in the land of coffee-drinkers). Long story short, I ordered this one, first time use: a huge mess. The filter did not filter. The grinded coffee was all over the coffee-machine, coffee luke warm..not a good start into the day. Had to send it back the same day and ordered one from Bolo.de (with a terrifying delivery cost, but still cheaper to get a good quality which will last than this one).

Great item

Adaptor was required. Problem solved. Prospective buyer should be informed.
