Coffee Maker, Filter Coffee Machine with Timer, 1.5L Programmable Drip Coffee Maker, 40min Keep Warm & Anti-Drip System, Reusable Filter, Fast Brewing Technology, 900W (Coffee Maker)

I bought this whilst on offer, and I'm very pleased that I did. I'd been using cafetièrefor some time but was fed up with the mess and waste of water dealing with the coffee grounds, so when my daughter bought a coffee machine (not this one) I thought I'd do the same, and the offer clinched it for me when deciding on this one. The only feature this lacked, compared with hers was the lack of a strength control, but having read the reviews for the other, considerably more expensive, machine it seems that this control has little or no discernable effect. I'v been using the machine for a few days now so its too early to judge the durability, but first impressions are good. It makes good coffee, is very simple to fill and use, seems well made and is easier to clean than my cafetière. I have purchased some filter papers (size 4) to make it easier still. One of the things that put me off a lot of the more complex machines was difficulty cleaning, but this, as a simple machine is very straightforward. I know that I will need to descale the unit (as I would with any other machine) periodically, but that will be compensated by less often descales of the kettle instead. I reckon environment-wise, using the machine to just make the exact amount of coffee I need will use less energy than boiling a kettle and less water because of this and no prolonged rinsing to get rid of grounds from the cafetière. Paper filters and the grounds can be composted, rather than washing them down the sink. I can't speak about how well the hotplate works as thus far I've only used it to make a single mug of coffee, so I haven't left it standing. I guess if I used the timer function to make a brew at a predetermined time it would be a benefit, but frankly the time it takes to brew a large mug-full is short enough that I can make it on demand whenever I get up and I don't have the coffee sitting out all night, so I don't think I'll use the timer, but I can see that it may be useful in some circumstances like for a dinner-party (remember those?) to be able to serve coffee quickly after the meal. Overall then, a useful addition to my kitchen. I will probably update this review in 6 months or so, to give a longer-term review of living with the machine. I usually make 3 large mugs of coffee a day.

I work in a small office on my own so decided to buy the Yabano coffee maker for my office about 13 months ago. It’s used a LOT & so far it’s produced nice hot coffee which can be kept warm for up to 30 minutes I’d say. So far I’ve had no leakages, I like the size of the pot, and everyone coming onto the corridor where I work all comment on the welcoming smell of coffee especially first thing in the morning. My home Tower coffee maker started leaking so I had to get another machine. It was a no brainer for me; purchased another Yabano coffee maker! I hope this coffee maker is just as good as the one I have in my office. Machine arrived securely packaged. Delivery man arrived within the timescale given, was very polite, and he handed the machine to me. Lose equipment has been washed properly & I’ve done 3 runs of clear water to clear the actual machine so now I’m going to make my 1st cup of coffee!

EDIT: DECEMBER 1ST 2021- I'M going to keep my original review here below fyi as that was the case then BUT I'm VERY happy to say that recently Yabano got in touch repeatedly, and apologetically, and have BRILLIANTLY resolved my issue! They sent me a jug (they did offer to send me a whole new machine but waste not, want not eh?!!!) COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE and I'm over the moon to now be using this excellent coffee machine again!!! THANK YOU YABANO!!!!! Great example of turning a negative experience into a very positive one! Would thoroughly recommend now!!! :) ORIGINAL REVIEW:Ok, so credit where credit's due, this is a perfectly good coffee maker. It's very easy to get working, and the timer function was great where I could prep the machine the night before and wake up to hot coffee when I was on early shifts. So that's all good, BUT, I really stress this point, with ORDINARY usage and cleaning, the jug cracked after 4 weeks. :( After having received great service from Amazon directly, I thought I'd email Yabano's customer service email address, included in their "Warranty," card with the purchase. I explained my situation, stressed (honestly!) I had only used the machine as recommended, AND cleaned carefully, so it should be within warranty (I also attached my Amazon purchase receipt) and asked if there was a chance to have a jug replacement. I also praised them for their great value machine, hoping to put them in a good mood when responding to my request(!!!) I've heard NOTHING back. No acknowledgement of my email being received (which can be an auto-responder, so no excuse there) and certainly no solution offered. It's such a shame as the machine is good, and great value. SO friends, by all means buy this product (it IS a good machine!) BUT treat the jug with extreme "kid gloves," as if it breaks, you've got no hope of getting a replacement :(. PS I was also happy to pay for a replacement if required, but they don't sell those separately, and of course I'm still waiting for a reply.......

Great

The Yabano Coffee Maker offers a generous 1.5L capacity—ideal for families or offices needing multiple cups at once. It features a straightforward drip system and a reusable filter that gets the job done, though it doesn’t stand out compared to finer mesh options on the market. The build is solid and the controls are easy to use, making coffee preparation quick and hassle-free. Rated 3 stars, the main drawback is its inability to keep coffee warm for long periods, which can disappoint those who prefer leisurely sipping or need hot coffee throughout the morning. While the filter is serviceable, it lets some fine grounds through, and overall, the performance is average rather than exceptional. This machine meets basic needs but may leave avid coffee enthusiasts wanting a bit more in both temperature maintenance and filtration quality.

This is an excellent coffee percolator, bought to replace one that was some 30 years old. Using the same amount of ground coffee, the brew is much stronger than the old one. The only criticisms are that the spout of the glass jug is not very well designed and coffee is frequently spilt while pouring it into cups. It is annonying that the device turns off automatically after 40 minutes. It should be made possible to extend the time or to disable this facility permanently. I would happily buy another one of these percolators should the need arise.

Broke after 4 months. Contacted seller by email, as of yet no reply. Very disappointing. A little update, manufacture of yabano has been in touch and are replacing item. Thankyou. Just to let you all know, reading other reviews I have discovered that this is a rare thing to happen with this product. I absolutely love this machine, it arrived well packaged, it is quick and easy cleaned, makes a gorgeous cup of coffee ☕. 5 stars Yabano.

I liked the ease of use until I realised that I was not able to completely dry the water tank after use. I feel that this is not hygienic if the machine is not in constant use. It was taking too much effort to try to ensure that its use would be safe: it was also becoming costly to run, i.e., the effort of trying to keep it clean by runing it through with boiling water and still not having it dry after. There was also an aftertaste every now and again and I had no idea why. I had washed the jar out with a couple of drops of washing up liquid and rinsed and dried it thoroughly and felt that should not have been a problem. Even after just running it through with boiling water, a bitter taste would randomly occur, not good to give a friend such a cup of coffee. I was slightly over the 30 days for returning so decided not to do anything about it. I am sad about this.

Thank you for the delivery, it was prompt and in one piece. However, this item came with a European power plug... A bit of an oversight, I think. I may have to return it. This item was posted back December 9, 2023. Thank you. Overall, Amazon has supplied correctly and promptly.
