Works reasonably well..., 17 Mar 2011

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)

Firstly I have to point out that at the time of ordering this product I did not quite realise that it did not come with wireless built in! I thought it was a new version of similar products that I have used in the past (wireless media systems) that would allow me to access content on my pc through my television. Therefore in order to get this to work I had to purchase extra equipment... my options were to buy a USB wireless adaptor that would plug into the box and make it wireless enabled or to buy the WD Livewire Powerline AV Network Kit which would enable me to feed my internet connection throughout my house using the electrical sockets as conduits. I went for the second option as I… Read more

Works well but slightly complicated..., 20 Jan 2011

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)

I always thought the advantage of "Coffee Makers" over "Coffee Machines" was that they were meant to be easy to use. Whilst this maker does make an perfectly good coffee, it took me quite a while to figure it all out.

The most bizarre problem with the design of this item was the fact that the on/off switch is on the back(!) just above where the socket plugs in. I think this is just crazy as you can't see the switch when the maker is in the normal position on a kitchen worktop, so you have to fumble around behind the machine trying to find the button.

Also it comes with so many parts that it can be confusing to know which bits go where, how they attach, and when… Read more
