Page 1 of Coffe for Uno...

Just been to get the Russell Hobbs Uno:Uno coffee maker.

Was after one before christmas but everywhere seemed to sell out. Noticed Currys online had them for half price (should have been £59.98 - now £29.94) unfortunately web site says out of stock but phoned Currys near Shoreditch and Chelmsford and they both had stock..

Went to pick one up and the box had a 30% discount sticker on so I got it for £20.92...

fantastic and to think I almost paid nearly£60 2 weeks ago.

Haven`t tried it yet but it gets great reviews.

Ended up buying 2 in the end ...

I saw one of these in Woolies yesterday for £60 - what`s so good about them ?

Well it uses a pump so the taste is better. The pods it uses mean you don`t have to grind beans and makes it a doddle to keep clean. No coffee grounds all over the place.

You can make a single cup at a time so don`t have to make a full filter and have it going stale.

Works out slightly more then using a cafetierre and ground coffee but much much less hassle.

I will let you know what the taste is like.

There`s no hassle in using a cafetiere - you put the ground coffee in (hell, take 10 seconds to grind beans first if you want to take your time!), add boiling water, let it sit for two minutes and bingo! If you haven`t got two minutes to make a good coffee then you probably haven`t time to relax and enjoy it either. And as far as mess goes, I don`t know what way you`re going about it!

Keep it real! :-)

and what do you do with the grounds when you`ve finished... spend another couple of minutes rinsing them out....

Time is so precious.....

You spend a couple of minutes rinsing them out? That`s very thorough - I find that about 10 seconds is usually more than enough.

I still can`t understand why any true coffee snob would want to buy something that uses pods and a machine but each to their own.

I didn`t mention that it`s only for my desk at work...Obviously I wouldn`t dream of using such a device at home...The Java pods I bought sure beat the instant variety my company offers.

Anyway like it or not £59 to £20 is a bargain and that is what this forum is about.

Stick to your cafetierre and keep your £20 - I don`t really care.

Coffee bags. Quick clean and easy.

All the best,

The 42%er.

Give me a chance to shine and I will blind the world.

Cannot find the UNO on the Russell Hobbs web page - have they discontinued it and thus selling them off cheap?

I see that in the amazon review you can get an adaptor to use another company`s coffee sachets.

indeed you can.....chekc out http://www.easypods.co.uk they offer an adapter which means you can use most coffee pods...

As for discontinued I wouldn`t think so as they`ve only been out a short while but you never know.

Price wise the pods work out around 12p per cup which isn`t much more then buying pre-ground coffee.

I drink a lot of coffee and must say the 6 free pods that come with the machine taste great.

From machine to cup in 20 seconds...

Time is money so they say.
