This is a great little coffee maker just enough for one cupI have limited space and this is very compact fits easily into the spaceIt makes one cup of coffee very quickly I tend to put my milk into the microwave to warm at the same timeThe only issue I have is it does drip for a little time after it’s finished I just put a bit of kitchen towel under the cup before brewing I have still given 5 stars even with this small issueGreat value for money easy to use and clean and ideal for one person

Very simple .. good coffee

It must be said that the machine does produce a reasonable cup/mug of coffee.However, there a few things that would make me question whether I would buy it again.Firstly, the included large mug is described as 'stainless steel'. The outside is indeed stainless steel, the inner is actually plastic.There is negligible insulation from the mug, so coffee does not stay hot for very long.I use ordinary and decaf coffee. Decaf tends to be a finer ground coffee. This means that when filled to the maximum marker, some of the coffee grounds can be washed out into the mug, because of the slower flow rate. I tend to use a smaller mug for decaf.There is no drip tray in the design. Inevitably, after the brewing process is finished, one or more late drips will occur. I find it necessary to have a small dish handy to catch the late drips of coffee.I find that there is not a lot of room to tip a mug of water into the reservoir. Something with a spout is more appropriate to avoid spillage when filling.The manufacturer does highlight this, but once the button to start the brewing process is pressed, only disconnecting power will stop the machine. There is no pause halfway through.Only time will tell how long the coffee filter will last. It doesn't seem particularly robust and lining it with standard filter paper is no good because the filter will overflow and ground coffee will end up in the mug.As I started off by saying, it does actually make a reasonable mug of coffee, but in my opinion there are design deficiencies.The coffee maker is used 3 to 5 times a day. Once you understand it's quirks, it does a reasonable job.

One of the best gadgets I have bought recently. The coffee isn’t overly hot which means it can be drunk straight away.

Brilliant for single cup of coffee, easy to use and clean.

Great but has lasted less than 18 months. Another I bought for a friend has lasted just under a year. Neither have been used much, maybe once or twice a week. A bit disappointed as when they work they’re good. Just wished they lasted a bit longer.

Werry good product

I had to move offices in the summer to a place with no water supply set up...so stranded without access to water or even a functioning kettle and with Covid19 rampant I thought it made sense to get one of these little Salter filters so I could bring a bottle of water in, brew up my ow drinks at my desk and stay happy while being forced to work at all during a pandemic.The machine is very simple, a water reservoir which has a few markings to show you how much water you need, from small tea cup to full coffee mug. There is a lid which is where the water gets suck up and drip through, and then a basket which you can either use a pod/filter bag in, or the basket which can be used for ground coffee or loose leaf tea. I found that using the basket AND pod holder together improved the coffee strength a bit as it's a fairly unsophisticated device, the water tends to just sprinkle down through the bag quite quickly. If you force the water to back a bit so it moves through the bag a bit more slowly, you get a richer brew.It's nice to have the choice of using a variety of things, sesnseo pod bags, coffee filter bags, tea bags, loose tea or ground coffee. As long as you have somewhere to wash out the baskets. Because I had no access to a sink I used the pods to save cleaning it out every time.Efficient, basically a slightly more fancy portable kettle. Well made, comes with an insulated cup but I have just been using a mug. It does not have a heated base plate so bear that in mind, and if you have a short mug it can tend to splash a little when it percolates down. I just stand it on kitchen towel.
