Product Description


Manufacturer's Description
A perfect cup of filter coffee is yours at the touch of a button, with the Russell Hobbs Caffe Torino Satin Filter Coffee Maker, designed to look good and make you a mouth-watering cup of delicious filter coffee, whenever you want it!
It’s fully programmable digital timer, allows you to program the coffee maker to switch on up to 24 hours in advance, perfect for waking up to the warm aroma of freshly brewed coffee or when you arrive home at the end of the day. For the ultimate in convenience, when the brewing process has finished, the coffee maker will even keep switched on for 2 hours, with the hotplate keeping the coffee hot, should you decided to have your coffee a little later.The brew strength control on the coffee maker is perfect when brewing 5 cups or less, as it slows down the brewing process, so your coffee will have the same strength as coffee from a full carafe. The non-drip valve is also extremely useful, as it prevents coffee from dripping onto the hotplate whilst the carafe is removed.For your convenience, a water-level indicator is located on the side of the machine for precise filling and the coffee maker also has an auto shut-off feature, which switches the machine off 2 hours after brewing has finished. Additional features include, removable filter basket, LED power indicator lights and a glass carafe with flip top lid.
The Russell Hobbs Caffe Torino Satin Filter Coffee Maker forms part of the popular Russell Hobbs Satin range of products and is perfect for anyone who is looking to create a co-ordinated look in the kitchen.

    Customer Reviews


    I previously had a Krups coffee maker, which was ok until it stopped working for no apparent reason about a year after I bought it. I replaced it with this Russell Hobbs one. In my opinion it's far superior, a really solid build and keeps the coffee piping hot. It even comes with its own re-usable filter so I can do away with the paper ones I had to use with my previous coffee maker.

    This is a nice machine which makes good coffee. Even after turning the machine off, the coffee stays warm for longer than some of our previous machines thanks to the wrap-around design. The programmer works well - but see below.
    However, there are some minor niggles:
    Unplugging the machine resets the clock and programmed time.
    As the power button and the Hour change buttons are quite close, it is easy to alter the time accidentally - so every time I program the machine, I have to remember to check that the clock is still correct.
    The clock can lose several minutes over the month.
    The reservoir level indicator mostly takes an age to rise to the correct position (sometimes as much as 10 minutes), even after descaling (we used filtered water anyway). This is annoying in the morning when time is of the essence. I have measured how much water is needed for the minimum quantity of 3 cups (400 mls) and for 5 cups (650 mls) and now use a measuring jug to save time.
