Small but perfectly formed!
By Music Reviewer
Bought this coffee machine having had many 'fancy' espresso machines and I simply wanted a good old fashioned 'perc' with a hotplate. I had a cheapish one from Argos prior to this one that had a distinct plastic smell and taste every time you used it so I thought I'd go for a good quality metal one and I have to say, so far, I'm delighted.Build quality is excellent - machine is made out of aluminium and chrome and it chunky and VERY well made. It comes with a plastic permanent filter and two paper ones (I tend to use paper ones as you just bin them and the plastic filters become a bit "yuk" fairly quickly).The capacity is fairly small (it brews about 3 mugs of coffee at a time) which is perfect if you're working from home as it won't 'stew' on the hotplate (which incidentally works VERY well) but I could imagine this would be a problem for a larger family or dinner party - but for me at home it's perfect.The downside is that none of it is machine washable so the jug needs to be hand washed but it's a small price to pay for such a top bit of kit.

A good purchase
By foamy one
With so many percs to choose from, it can be easy to buy one based on its 'looks'. This machine is robust and chunky (rather than curvy and stylish) but brother - it works just fine! It is easy to clean and a pleasure to use. As with most machines, it is better to use a paper disposable filter insert, rather than just relying on the supplied mesh filter alone. Have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone who wants a sturdy capable machine - whether for 1 cup or 6 (small) cups.

Works well - for about a year.
By ritec
If you are lucky this machine will fail just before the guarantee expires, if you are unlucky it will fail just after. There is a design fault in these units that Kenwood refuse to acknowledge - just see how many 'manufacturer refurbished' units are available on ebay. My first machine failed after 11 months (sprang a leak all over the worktop), the second has just failed after 13 months in exactly the same way. Real shame - it is a nice machine otherwise.UPDATE July 2013, finally a re-designed machine: After writing to Kenwood detailing the design fault, I was told that they were re-designing the machine. I waited five months while this happened and have now received one of the new ones, which so far has worked fine - only time will tell if the re-design has been successful. There doesn't seem to be any reliable way to tell the new machines from the old ones, except that mine has a dark grey on-off switch instead of the white one of the original. Kenwood have finally woken up to this fault, and my recent experience with their customer service department has been totally satisfactory. So, my advice to anyone with a faulty machine is to write to Kenwood - they can't now deny the fault exists.
