Filter coffee machines, often just called filter coffee makers, drip hot water through ground coffee into a jug, and some grind the beans for you on a timer. We compare dated UK prices, jug sizes, grinders and warming plates, using published specs, plus owner feedback and independent tests where our reviews cite them. Open any machine to see what it does well and who it isn't for.
