Sage SDC450BSS the Precision Brewer Coffee Maker, 1.8L

Product Information

The Moccamaster coffee maker is perfect for those who rely on caffeine to see them through their workdays at home. Capable of making up to ten cups of coffee at one time, it can also keep your brew warm on a hot plate for when you finish the first mug off. The design is also a show-stopper, obviously with a retro feel that will complete the look of your quirky kitchen. The secret to great-tasting coffee is fresh-ground beans. According to Luke, "Any food product's freshness is a hugely important influence. Coffee starts to degrade the moment it's roasted and although keeping it in a bag helps, coffee will continue to lose flavour and become stale after around three months.

Add the coffee and water and press go. Your coffee is delivered in just a few minutes. Quality Of Coffee 10/10

It will also be ready for use within 3 seconds of turning it on whereas the Barista Express will take 60 seconds. If you want to control everything at a very fine level of detail through an LCD digital display then it may be worth paying the extra.

If you need a machine that can grind, brew and steam all in one, then you likely won't do better for the price than the Beko CEG5311X Bean to Cup. While we're not suggesting it's cheap, it is a good price for the combination of functions it has.

The taste profile of your filter coffee can often be determined by the shape of the filter itself. A flat shape will often result in a lighter and more fruity flavour, whereas a cone filter shape can often leave you with a more rich and earthy taste.

In our opinion, it has the perfect balance between quality and value. This is the minimum if you want to properly control all of the variables that make up a true comparison to a coffee shop coffee. Like the Kitchen Aid, the positioning of the display means you would have to have your machine a certain way round, which might not be the best use of space, but if you’ve invested in something like this, there’s every chance you’ll be giving it pride of place in your kitchen. The rump is perfectly edible and ok but when you bite into the sirloin or the fillet steak the taste and texture is worlds apart.Ground coffee brewed the right way is totally different to the same ground coffee made the wrong way in a cheap machine. We love how sleek this coffee maker is from KitchenAid, and the fact it comes in a range of the brand’s signature hues means you can match it to all of its other appliances. More than that though, it’s sturdy, robust and comes with a generous 1.7l removable water tank and glass coffee carafe of the same capacity.
