I've been a filter coffee drinker now for a while (hand grind my beans etc...) and was looking at getting a bean to cup coffee machine.

Having a scout around the internet, this:

seems alright. Can anyone recommend it or suggest another alternative (Around £200ish)

Cheers

I wonder how hot the resulting coffee will be by the time it's dribbled through the grounds into a cold jug, then been poured into a cold mug and had cold milk added (which is what happens in reality)

It doesn't - Jug is heated and stays heated for at least 4 hours - Well mine does. I bought this a couple of months back as a temporary replacement for my Gaggia Titanium which is being repaired. The cuisinart makes surprisingly decent coffee - Also, look for offers - I picked mine up in House of Fraser Reading for £70

Better than my old cheapo coffee-maker then - it had a hot plate but by the time the coffee came through it hadn't got hot...

I bought something very similar from somewhere like Aldi a couple of years ago, after someone posted a link on here, it was less than £20 I seem to recall.

Works fine but isn't a patch on the Siemens Bean to Cup machine I bought at Christmas.
