Swan Grind and Brew Coffee Maker, Bean to Cup Coffee to Go Machine, Stainless-Steel Travel Cup, Touch Control, Auto Shut-Off, SK65010N

I don’t know what the people posting grumbling comments about this are going on about, I wonder whether some of them have even owned a coffee machine in the past!Yes, like every other coffee filter machine ever made, it continues to drip a bit at the end; OK, the difference between this and every other filter machine is it’s delivering straight into your cup rather than into a jug so you take the cup away and it drips onto the bottom, but I’m guessing the grumblers haven’t noticed the bottom pad is removable and therefore washable. Or do what I’m doing if you don’t want it dripping onto the bottom and put an egg cup in place of your mug.Yes, like every other bean-to-coffee machine, or even every other electric coffee grinder, the grinder is noisy. I’ve never personally experience an electric coffee grinder that isn’t noisy, so I assume the grumblers have either only previously used pre-ground coffee, have only used a cast iron Spong hand grinder, or have previously used some special quantum atomic grinder in an experimental lab somewhere.And being critical of it by saying it tastes like pour-over filter coffee — well, yeah, that’s what it is!No, you can’t remove the water hopper for cleaning — can you do that on any other filter coffee machines?I’ve bought this in an emergency whilst in temporary accommodation to replace a bigger bean-to-jug machine which was destroyed in a house fire, and it works exactly as I expected it to based on the description, and since I almost never made more than a mug’s worth at a time, I’m highly likely to keep this as my main coffee machine when I’m back home.And unlike most of the people grumbling, I actually paid for it with my own money rather than getting it as a freebie in return for a review, too.

Attaching the holder with the beans can be a bit fiddly, you have to apply a fair amount of force and I'm wary something will snap.Grinds the beans ok and produces a nice cup of coffee

Makes a cup of coffee if you like drip coffee

At best it's OK. It does the job of making coffee straight from beans. However there are lots of negatives:1. It's very noisy when grinding2. It's quite slow3. It can be fairly difficult to get the holder on4. It drips for ages after it finishes5. The coffee is never particularly hot, and after you add milk it's barely lukewarm

It was a gift and they are very happy with the product
