Filter Coffee Machine Review - Aldi's Brunch Week Range

This week I've been trying out this Filter Coffee Maker from Aldi.  Whilst it's not all singing and dancing it does a great job of making coffee and at a good temperature too which of course is the main thing.  Perfect for a lazy bank holiday weekend as it has an automatic 'keep warm' function which ensures your coffee is nice and hot and the hotplate stays on to keep the coffee hot until the machine is switched off.

For safety the machine turns off automatically after a while.  The instructions don't say how long it is before it turns off but I've found it to be after an hour. I tested it and found the coffee to be (82.5°C) so it's just right.  I've had a more expensive coffee machine in the past which at best only produced lukewarm coffee which of course isn't a good thing.

It's really easy to use; just fill the water tank with the desired amount of water- the number of cups is clearly displayed.

Add ground coffee to the filter holder and make sure the glass jug is on the hotplate. Switch on and your coffee drips through into the glass jug.
You don't have to wait for the whole thing to finish before enjoying a cuppa because if you remove the glass jug the non-drip value it automatically stops coffee dripping onto the hotplate.

This coffee machine says it make 10 to 15 cups but personally I'd say it's more like 6 what I'd call normal sized cups as it actually holds 1 and a half liters of water.  This Filter Coffee Machine from Aldi comes with a 3 year manufacture's warranty.
