Yabano Coffee Maker, Filter Coffee Machine with Timer, 1.5L Programmable Drip Coffee Maker, 40min Keep Warm & Anti-Drip System, Reusable Filter, Fast Brewing Technology, 900W (Coffee Maker)

I bought this whilst on offer, and I'm very pleased that I did. I'd been using cafetièrefor some time but was fed up with the mess and waste of water dealing with the coffee grounds, so when my daughter bought a coffee machine (not this one) I thought I'd do the same, and the offer clinched it for me when deciding on this one. The only feature this lacked, compared with hers was the lack of a strength control, but having read the reviews for the other, considerably more expensive, machine it seems that this control has little or no discernable effect. I'v been using the machine for a few days now so its too early to judge the durability, but first impressions are good. It makes good coffee, is very simple to fill and use, seems well made and is easier to clean than my cafetière. I have purchased some filter papers (size 4) to make it easier still. One of the things that put me off a lot of the more complex machines was difficulty cleaning, but this, as a simple machine is very straightforward. I know that I will need to descale the unit (as I would with any other machine) periodically, but that will be compensated by less often descales of the kettle instead. I reckon environment-wise, using the machine to just make the exact amount of coffee I need will use less energy than boiling a kettle and less water because of this and no prolonged rinsing to get rid of grounds from the cafetière. Paper filters and the grounds can be composted, rather than washing them down the sink. I can't speak about how well the hotplate works as thus far I've only used it to make a single mug of coffee, so I haven't left it standing. I guess if I used the timer function to make a brew at a predetermined time it would be a benefit, but frankly the time it takes to brew a large mug-full is short enough that I can make it on demand whenever I get up and I don't have the coffee sitting out all night, so I don't think I'll use the timer, but I can see that it may be useful in some circumstances like for a dinner-party (remember those?) to be able to serve coffee quickly after the meal. Overall then, a useful addition to my kitchen. I will probably update this review in 6 months or so, to give a longer-term review of living with the machine. I usually make 3 large mugs of coffee a day.

Just the job nice and simple to use

A good coffee maker. Last me about a year and a half, which is good for the price. Has a good capacity and is sturdy. The water tank opening is a bit small so you have to be careful when puring water in but apart from that, it did the job. Started slowing down after a year so I knew it was in the way out. Can't complain really, I didn't expect it to last too long for the price If I'm in need of a cheaper one again, this one will be brought again.

Broke after 4 months. Contacted seller by email, as of yet no reply. Very disappointing. A little update, manufacture of yabano has been in touch and are replacing item. Thankyou. Just to let you all know, reading other reviews I have discovered that this is a rare thing to happen with this product. I absolutely love this machine, it arrived well packaged, it is quick and easy cleaned, makes a gorgeous cup of coffee ☕. 5 stars Yabano.

The Yabano Coffee Maker offers a generous 1.5L capacity—ideal for families or offices needing multiple cups at once. It features a straightforward drip system and a reusable filter that gets the job done, though it doesn’t stand out compared to finer mesh options on the market. The build is solid and the controls are easy to use, making coffee preparation quick and hassle-free. Rated 3 stars, the main drawback is its inability to keep coffee warm for long periods, which can disappoint those who prefer leisurely sipping or need hot coffee throughout the morning. While the filter is serviceable, it lets some fine grounds through, and overall, the performance is average rather than exceptional. This machine meets basic needs but may leave avid coffee enthusiasts wanting a bit more in both temperature maintenance and filtration quality.

good quality , good design , perfect for small kitchen

Great

I bought this 2 years ago, and I really do love it. I've given it only 3☆ though, because somehow the lid has twisted round on the pot.
