Recommend me a filter coffee machine for myself ~£50

silvagti · 5 Aug 2018 at 19:23

I'm looking for a filter coffee machine as I'm fed up with the quality and selection available with the Tassimo I currently have and instant coffee is vile!

I normally just make the one cup for myself (as the wife drinks tea) so I'd be happy with a smaller machine which is easy to clean. I've tried a cafetiere but I don't like the fact that it always lets some of the coffee grains through whilst brewing.

Maybe something like this?
Morphy Richards Pour Over Filter Coffee Maker 162010 Brushed Stainless Steel Coffeemaker

I'd appreciate any suggestions though?

That will make a whole pot won't it, how about this https://www.johnlewis.com/russell-h...jo0zKbtOSkCU3mgRUHBoCio4QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Just get a V60 if it’s just the odd cup for yourself.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give one of the v60 style pour over coffee filters a try and see how I get on with that. As you say it sounds like it would be ideal for brewing a single mug at a time.

The Aeropress is also great for brewing single mugs as well. It can seem a little faffy at first but once you get used to using it isn't at all and it makes a lovely cup of coffee.

The Clever Dripper makes the superlative cup of filter coffee. You won't need a goose neck kettle either.

Haven't tried a V60 or Clever Dripper but I love my Aeropress. Inverted method, 60sec brew for an Americano.. gorgeous.

Another vote for the aeropress, great for single cups.

It comes with me on vacations now so I can a decent coffee.

This is around £35 on offer in places and is great. Having changed from an Aeropress.
Can select "1-4 cup" option which in reality is around 1 1/2 mugs worth.
