SWAN SK13130N Programmable Coffee Maker,0.75L, Black

I have only had this machine for a month but used it every day. I understand it is not that robust and may stop working but for £20 ish, it is an incredibly worthwhile buy. Good coffee ready when we need it. Ideal for one or two people. I use a size 2 paper filter instead of the nylon filter as I compost coffee grounds and it simplifies cleaning etc. Easy to programme. Was not sure the routine would suit. It is great to wake up to fresh coffee. If/when the machine fails I will buy a similar programmable filter machine which is more robust that could cope with a larger amount for guests. Ideal for lockdown! On the other hand I might just get another as it is such good value. To brew another batch only takes a few minutes. Very satisfied.Update at two and a half years. Still works fine. I sometimes do not use filter papers. I am very careful about removing the filters before pouring as I think the nozzle is the delicate part. Very pleased with the purchase.Update at six months:Still very pleased, must be the best value item I have bought. Suits 2 of us every morning, we tend to just switch it on as it takes only about 5 mins to make the coffee. I do descale it every month and treat it carefully. I use the filter paper rather than the basket filter, no grounds in my mug and I compost the lot. I do carefully remove the filter before helping myself to coffee as the drip part looks fragile. I am very careful with the machine generally.

Fantastic, the timer feature is great - set it the night before then get up to fresh brewed coffee. Easy to clean and well made. Not a massive machine, so doesn’t take up too much counter space. Great value for money

This machine is ideal for my wife and i and takes up little room on the worktop.Quick and easy to clean after use, ready for the next cup. Just as easy and quick to make as instant coffee but nicer to the taste.

Great coffee maker easy to use and delisous

I have had this a while now so have given it a good try out. I bought it as a replacement for a one cup machine I bought in the middle aisle of a well known German supermarket. That one eventually broke so I needed a replacement. After umming and ahhing about whether I should buy the same type as before, I decided to try this one. The timer (when I remember to set it) works brilliantly. As a single person with only myself to make my drinks, it is nice to wake up to a pot of hot coffee ready and waiting in the morning. It does only have one timer (fine for me). The jug is small and I would guess if you are like my family, you can get about 3 - 4 big mugs worth out of it at a time. Yes, the jug is a little flimsy, but if treated with a little care, isn't a problem. The filter is reusable and works well. The only thing I find slightly odd is that when you press the button for instant filtering, it shines red. When you need to put it on timer, the light is green. Took me a while as in my head it should be the other way around! Overall it is a good little product.
