I would recommend a Rowenta Napoli Coffee Maker

by Sandra

I have bought 4 coffee makers over the last year, The First 3 were Kenwood but they always seems to just block up to quick, Were i live we have hard water and it contains a lot of limestone, now i use a Rowenta Napoli. It's Great, it's all black with a heated hot plate to keep the coffee warm, another thing most Kenwoods missed.

Another thing is it makes the coffee Very hot from the start,Some coffee makers warm the water just a little then let the hot plate heat it up more . It's able to make 10 full cups of coffee at one time but since it misses an aroma button i just compact the coffee a little more to make very nice espresso.

The Rowenta Napoli coffee maker is also very fast in making coffee, it contains it's own plastic filter but i use a paper on as well just to make it more easy to clean.I think all in all i would have to give it 7/10 - 3 because well for one there is no timer or auto start..shame it would be nice to wake up to a hot coffee already made .( i just get it ready the night before and hit on when i wake up ). another -1 because for some reason after you take the jug way to pour the coffee it drips a little and whats not burned on the hot plate below drips under the machine and makes a mess.. and -1 because the water level indicator is a little hard to see so making it a little difficult to see how much water you have put in and since it starts at 4 cups then 6 ,8,10 so it's not the best for that. But for that quick very hot cup of coffee i would recommend this to any one.
