Filter machines · record 85% complete

Russell Hobbs Buckingham Coffee Maker

A low-cost programmable filter machine with a 1.25-litre glass carafe, reusable filter and slower small-batch mode.

Why it qualifiesA lower-cost 1.25-litre glass-jug route with a timer, reusable filter and 2–4 cup mode.

Recorded from£44.99

Known setup£203.99

Width23 cm

Depth20.5 cm

Trade-offThe low headline price excludes a grinder; using pre-ground coffee is cheaper initially but gives up grind-on-demand freshness. The glass jug stays on a hotplate and the machine switches off about 40 minutes after brewing. Run the 35–45 minute self-clean cycle at least monthly, more often in hard water. Brew temperature, taste, noise and long-term reliability remain untested, so no CoffeeScore is published.

Moccamaster KBG Select

A repairable 1.25-litre UK-plug filter machine with unusually extensive owner-replaceable parts support.

Why it qualifiesA simple 1.25-litre glass-jug route with published replacement-parts support.

Recorded from£290

Known setup£449

Width32 cm

Depth17 cm

Trade-offIt needs a separate grinder and No. 4 papers, while the glass jug sits on a hotplate that switches off after 40 minutes. The 92–96°C brewing range and roughly six-minute full-jug time are manufacturer claims, not independent Home Coffee Index tests. Long life still depends on hand-cleaning and descaling every 100 brews or at least every three months.

Sage Precision Brewer Thermal

A programmable 1.7-litre thermal filter brewer for buyers who want useful presets and control over temperature, bloom and flow.

Why it qualifiesA 1.7-litre thermal-carafe route with adjustable bloom, temperature and flow.

Recorded from£260

Known setup£419

Width36 cm

Depth16.8 cm

Trade-offIt does not grind coffee, so the real setup price includes a capable filter grinder. Cold Brew is a long-steep programme, not instant chilled coffee, and Sage's separate pour-over adapter is needed to feed a V60 or Kalita Wave directly. Ownership includes hand-cleaning, a guided roughly 33-minute descale followed by two water-only brews, and a water filter about every three months. Sage was out of stock when checked; Ozone showed the exact UK SDC450 at £260. Independent temperature, extraction, heat-retention and noise tests are pending.

What this shortlist cannot claim yet

It cannot say which machine makes the best coffee, lasts longest or is easiest to live with until comparable independent tests exist. Published dimensions and features remain manufacturer claims unless the record labels them verified.
