Yes, I have an increasing need in this cooler weather to take a thermos of coffee with me on the road some days.  Three cycles of the KF300 Swissgold perched precariously upon the top of the thermos seemed a bit daft.  So when I found myself helping to replenish supplies post Christmas, pre New Year's eve, I spied this filter coffee machine in Sainsburys and thought it would be a worthy purchase to see what its coffee making capabilities were.  It was the last one and the box was a bit knocked around, but the product inside appeared undamaged, so I took it.

I am fortunate in that we have decent coffee grinders already, but if you don't check out a couple of posts earlier to see the Russell Hobbs coffee maker with integrated grinder on special for circa GBP75, down from GBP100.  Anyway, please find attached some initial images.

Tomorrow when I go out to the factory to roast and pack the coffee orders I will bring home a KF4 Swissgold filter to drop into this plain vanilla machine and transform its coffee making abilities in a moment.  The only other thing to check will be the brew temperature; it would not surprise me if this was outside of the desired range, around 92C, but lets see what sort of coffee a GBP15 machined upgraded with a sub-GBP20 Swissgold filter can deliver.
