Edesia Espress 1 litre / 4 Cup Filter Coffee Maker Jug Set + 100 free filter papers

Product Information

Glass jugs are the traditional and most common type of jug, these give great visibility of the coffee in the pot but are prone to breaking if dropped or damaged. The filter has a unique 'traffic light' indicator, which is removable so you can put the whole jug in the dishwasher, and it should last around five years. Leave it for 30 seconds, for the bloom to dissipate, then pour continuously in small circles around the centre of the dripper, keeping the water level steady. We particularly like the firm rubber seal inside the lid, which prevents leakage when pouring, and the detachable black rubber bumper on the base of the jug, which means it sits firmly on the worktop or a fridge shelf.

It’s a handsome piece of kit and is famously the coffeemaker of choice for James Bond, getting a mention in From Russia, With Love.Removable water tanks and dishwasher-safe parts will help to reduce time spent cleaning while descaling programmes to keep them in tip-top condition. This can be an even more convenient option when you’re weighing up the particular type of coffee filter coffee machine to purchase. The Pitcher Pro is an instant filtration water filter, so it filters as you pour and delivers water that has not been standing in a jug, but is freshly cleaned.

Some filters are recyclable or biodegradable, while others need to be binned, which is another consideration if you're trying to be greener. This petite beauty is a simple device that can filter coffee directly into a cup, ready to drink – rather than a jug (although servers are available if you’re making for two). It’s purportedly 60% quieter than one of Russell Hobbs’s previous grind and brew machines – although it still makes a whiny sound as it works. We very much enjoyed the soft, odourless taste of the water after the three-stage microfiltration technology removed the chlorine, limescale, heavy metals, microplastics and up to 80 other organisms without removing any healthy minerals. It’s a speedy brewer, too, as you’ll only have to wait a mere six minutes for a full, ten-cup jug of coffee.Although filter coffee machines are seen as more simplistic there are many options and features to consider when selecting the ideal fit for your household. For example, from 2015, filter coffee machines have been required to have an auto shut-off after five or 40 minutes (for insulated and non-insulated jugs respectively), so they won’t stew your brew for hours on a hot plate. Although the machine may not ooze the style of a Wilfa or Chemex machine it definitely excels in functionality and control. We tested the clean filter and were delighted with the soft, clean, lovely mouthfeel of the water it produced – it was easily one of the best on our test.

At Melitta we also sell coffee filter machines with insulated jugs, these are ideal if you want to keep your coffee warm for a longer period of time.I find this method best highlights both the big bold flavours as well as the delicate subtle notes in certain coffees.
