Ariete 1342, Filter Coffee Maker, Tempered Glass Coffee Pot, Capacity up to 12 Cups, 24-Hour Programmable Timer, Auto Power Off, 2000W, Cream

Once set up so easy to use, the quality is good and the vintage look is so nice.

Arrived promptly. Looks amazing - very retro. Colour is a more dark grey/cream than beige.The machine is easy to set up and the instructions are very clear. I use the timer feature which is really convenient - hot coffee first thing in the morning. You can also select the strength of your brew. The only slight downside is that the hotplate doesn't keep the coffee hot for a very long time, maybe 15mins - the instruction manual does highlight this and gives dire warning on the effect of keeping fresh coffee warm for too long (Don't even consider microwaving it - evidently bad things may happen)The tank is easy to fill and has clear markings. Coffee takes a few minutes to brew and the machine is very quiet when in use. The plug is an EU two pin type but I picked up an adaptor easily.

Compact, clear controls and makes a good filter-style coffee. Unusually, the coffee basket is flat-bottomed rather than conical but it will still take a 1x4 filter paper which I prefer to use, instead of the basket alone, because it simplifies disposal of the grounds. Don't buy it to match your cream toaster though: the inside of the machine is off-white and the coloured side panels, which is really what you see, are beige/light green .

Looked beautiful! Worked well too

Makes a lovely cup of coffee and fits perfect in my kitchen, colour coordinated. Very stylish. Easy to use and lean.

I’ve had to replace this once already and now the second one is defective and suddenly stopped working after 7 months again.

I love it, so easy to use and it looks fantastic. Highly recommend.
