Hisense CM15BK Digital Drip Coffee Maker, 1.5L, 1000W

Our review

This Hisense model is a digital drip coffee maker with a built-in filter, a 1.5-litre capacity and a 1000W heating element. The draw is the programmable timer: you set it the night before and it starts brewing on its own, so a full jug is waiting when you get up. That suits households of several coffee drinkers, offices, or anyone whose mornings are too rushed to stand over a machine. Before buying, think about the size of your usual brew, whether you prefer the convenience of paper filters or a reusable one, and how much counter space you can spare. Compare it with basic non-programmable drip machines, which cost less but demand your attention, and with pod or espresso machines, which brew differently and usually in smaller quantities. Check the jug and hotplate details on the listing, since those affect how long coffee stays warm.
