Russell Hobbs Purple Passion Colours Glass coffee stainless steel / purple (household goods)

Customer Review

I have been given this coffee and am thrilled by the design, because it fits into my purple kitchen and looks gorgeous.
We are not a coffee drinker, so the machine is always in action at the weekend when we visit. I can give a good three-star rating, composed of:

+ Great design, the best coffee that I know
+ Pretty good price compared to other coffee machines
+ BIG volume capacity - up to 20 normal cups or 12 large coffee mug (!) - Finally no multiple cooking more!
+ Pleasant pouring from the can without spilling
+ Quiet and relatively fast cooking even large amounts (see above)

- The water tank opening is quite narrow. Although I never had the kitchen wipe as previous speakers, but it already requires a certain skill, to fill the water tank, because the opening is rather narrow place around. But since we always fill the machine only with decalcified water from water filters (eg BRITA) and not with the coffee pot, it works quite well
- The water tank indicator is really not easy to recognize (black scale, purple float). In addition, the float barely moved at the beginning, and later quite quickly, so that here a certain skill is required.

Note the condensation:
Some speakers say, the machine would produce up to 1.5 cups of condensation. That's not true, but it will be misled to believe. I myself have always annoyed me at the beginning that the pot was just filled to "6 cups", although I had introduced "8 cups" water. But eventually I came behind them, that the water tank for large marks (6) and small (8) Cups, has the coffee pot but only for large (6). Therefore, the difference.
That's made a bit stupid, but if you know it, it is no longer a problem.
I still feel that the pot already above average produced much condensation, but not 1-2 cups!

= An incredibly beautiful coffee with plenty of capacity and good volume / speed. Filling and reading of water requires a bit of skill and practice.
