Shop Reviews

John Lewis is another up-market department store that offers a good range of electrical goods including coffee makers. This is reflected in their website. It’s easy to navigate and with a good selection of items at reasonable prices. There’s a buying guide to coffee makers on their ‘Small Appliance’ page.

Tesco is better known for its food selection than its coffee maker one, but it still has something to offer. Tesco direct sells everything from furniture to lawnmowers and it has a reasonable selection of coffee makers. It represents a useful number of popular brands including its own home brand. The website is a little busy with offers and advertisements but easy enough to navigate and you can narrow your search by brand or price.

This is a fairly straightforward website well set out and easy to follow, listing all of their coffee makers. You can search by price, by delivery type, by brand, by review rating or by type. Comet offers a wide range of products and a good range of prices beginning from the very low and escalating to extremely pricey.

This is a fairly basic website setting out the 30 or so items Amazon have for sale. You can sort by price, best sellers or customer review. There are a reasonable amount of manufacturers to choose from and prices range from low for basic filter machines to high for espresso ones.

This is another straightforward website where it’s easy to browse and there is the option to compare like products. You can search by colour, brand or price. Most of the items offered are at the lower end of the price range although there are one or two fairly expensive examples.

House of Fraser has always had a fairly up-market image, perhaps a little dowdy and old fashioned. But the website certainly isn’t. It’s fresh and appealing. Their Coffee Makers section is heavy on the Nespresso side but offers a reasonable selection of most popular brands. There is a Coffee Maker buyers guide as well.

Debenhams caters to the middle market section and it’s website reflects this in its range of affordable items. You can search all types and prices or narrow your search to espresso and cappuccino makers or filter machines. Debenhams offers a reasonable selection of coffee makers at reasonable prices on a website that’s easy to navigate and attractively set out.

The Kitchen Science website is a treasure house of kitchen stuff and offers a wide range of coffee maker products. Prices range from good value filter coffee makers to very expensive bean-to-cup machines. The site has its own newsletter that you can sign up for plus special offers that could include coffee makers. And although there is a lot packed onto a page it’s relatively easy to follow.

Heals has recently re-designed their website navigation so it’s easier to use. There’s a quick link to purchasing and delivery, for instance. Heals keep a relatively small selection on offer, mostly espresso makers, although there are separate pages for cafetieres. You can refine your search by brand but there’s little need.
