We got a brilliant cuisinart coffee bean grinder/maker. Its superb. Makes up to 12 cups, goes in to a stainless steel jug and coffee remains tasting like coffee... not burnt coffee from in a glass jug.
Also be careful with tassimo type pod coffees.. If you use the milk additive pods etc they can muck up levels..
We've had every type of coffee maker under the sun previously... ones that froth milk, just a filter, the tassimo, cafetiere...
This one is exceptional. We are selective about beans though and only buy one type from Waitrose (their cheap range).
It gets used everday for coffee with cream and can make anywhere between 2-12 cups. Comes with a filter but we also buy paper filers from Amazon.
Blooming brilliant.
Size is good too, it doesnt take too much space (see photos)
