Koziol Unplugged Coffee Machine

A few months ago I wrote about how I was the only one in my house who drank coffee and the problems it posed when it came to having a cafetiere that was too big. While I still think the Wacky Practicals dripper is perfect for work, at home I want something a little more stylish but that won't take up valuable worktop or socket space. Luckily, Koziol seemed to have sensed this need even before I knew I had it and came up with this Unplugged Coffee Machine.

It has the same look as a regular plugged in filter machine but is much smaller and cuter. It comes with the 'take-away' mug - complete with smiley lid - which is handy for those rushed mornings (so, every morning then) and for saving money. The only downside I can see is a) waiting for the kettle to boil and b) it doesn't come with a washable filter so you'll have to get some filters in.

It comes in red, lime or black for £35 at John Lewis or in red only from Koziol for £29.
