Russell Hobbs 10881 Take Two

Bought one a few years ago. Still using it. Save time & money. Nice to have fresh coffee quick. Love the mugs with the machine. Durable and stylish.

Great coffee maker for only 20 quid. Picked one of these up because I was sick of instant and pump espresso machines simply take too much time, now I can put the coffee and water in the night before and simply push a button in the morning, go wash and dress then come back to a nice cuppa. Well worth the money.

I really liked the Russell Hobbs 10881 Take Two Coffee Maker when I bought it. It worked well, and we were able to take coffee out and about with us when working in the garden, and it kept really hot. However, after a few uses, we found that the seal between the outer container and the inner mug was 'breaking' when the hot water was going in. It was the devil's own job sealing it back again, and I have given up on one of them which just won't go back in. We are still using the other one, but it's very irritating, as there is a fight as to who gets to drink out of it! I don't know if the mugs can be replaced though. I think it may be a basic design fault. I would be interested to know if anyone else has had same problem.

Russell Hobbs 10881 Take Two Coffee Maker - I just bought one a week ago in South Africa for R200.00 which is the equivalent of about 18 pounds sterling. Compare that price to a Melitta One or a Phillips Senseo which range from $40.00 to $70.00 respectively, and you don't need to buy those coffee-pods which can be expensive and you can't change the strength of your coffee.

For me this was absolutely fantastic and unless you're going to be shaking your mug around, its not going to spill. Plus it keeps my coffee hot for absolute ages. I keep burning myself.
