Morphy Richards Vector Cream Pour Over Filter Coffee Machine - Reusable Filter - 1.8L - 163004

Could not live without this! Product and seller highly recommended

Wanted a simple coffee machine to NOT dominate the worktop surfaces. Have tried a couple of types but wasnot satisfied. Came across this item whilst searching and the spec was impressive but also a nice looker (boss approved). Unfortunately (at the time of ordering) a black version was not available so I went for the cream model. When unpacked I was very satisfied with the item and quickly got it ready for use. Setting up the system was relatively easy and the end product was good. I have since perfected he methods to suit my taste (strong decaf taste level 4) and am now very happy with the product. A decent amount of coffee produced (4/5 mugs), no huge thing dominating the worktop, no pods, just nice coffee when needed. I have since ordered a toaster and kettle to go with it. VERY satisfied. PHH.

I like to be honest about my reviews and this is no different.The headline says it all. It’s marvellous. Very easy to clean. Easy to use (even hubby can work it!) not too many buttons to confuse you. The timer function is a godsend. Remember old the old teas made? That but better. Hubster sometimes gets upat 0430 for work. Set the timer for 0430 and by the time he’s actually got out of bed, there is a steaming hot brew waiting. It brews hot (I have my coffee black so it’s very hot to me, I know others have said with milk it’s not quite hot enough ) it stays hot for around half an hour too.I read someone tried the cheap coffee and it tasted smooth so I bought the cheapest one I could find. Made it in a Cafetiere. It was bitter and not that nice. Made in this however, it was smooth and actually not bad at all! So the cupcake style of basket isn’t just a gimmick. It really does work. No plastic taste that others have mentioned in mine. And yes it’s black so it’s awkward to see into to pour the water, but. You just pour into the back so it’s not really too much of a drama. Just use the coffee pot itself to measure and you won’t put too much in.So after all that, is it worth the price? Yes.Does it make lovely smooth tasting coffee?YesDoes it keep it nice and hot?YesIs it lovely to get up for work to a steaming pot of coffee?Oh heck yes.So well worth it in my opinion!

First a small rant. My first filter coffee machine was a cheap bosch dripper. It was simple, cheap and lasted twenty years. It made hot coffee and kept it hot indefinitely. Since then, I've purchased 'several far more expensive devices that are not half as good nor lasted anywhere near as long. Personally, I cannot see any real technical difference in these machines to justify their ridiculous price - but hey ho!Rant over and back to my review.Purchased this machine because:1. It has one of the largest flasks available (1.8l) which we need with four adults in the house who drink mugs of coffee.2. It was a pour-over type which by all accounts makes a better coffee3. Its shape fits in our kitchen4. Its colour matches our other coffee equipment5. It's relatively good valueSo, after a weeks use here are my initial views, first the likes;1. Makes a good cup of coffee - I haven't had any plastic-tasting coffee as mentioned by others.2. Relatively quick to brew3. It accommodates the standard cup-cake filter papersNow the irritations;'1. No indicator to show how far to fill the reservoir. The black reservoir makes it hard to discern where the brim is.2. Coffee temperature may be inconsistent - I need to monitor this some more. Either way, it's not hot enough for my tastes - damn those euro-crats!!3. The keep-warm function runs only for 25 mins which is miserable. What is the point of this stupid requirement??4. The instructions regarding the keep warm function don't make sense.5. Never used the timer as we don't need it.So overall, so far I'm happy-ish. I'll have to keep my eye on the temperature consistency though.

Great as always from Morphy Richards. The coffee machine is aesthetically pleasing and fits nicely amongst my many other black goods on the kitchen countertop. It makes coffee. Nothing else! Perfect.

This is the best percolator i have ever owned. It fills the jug and provides plenty to go around. Nice design and ease of use. Thank you
