Bestron ACM1112Z: what works and what doesn't
What works well
- Thermal mug included: the stainless steel mug (420 ml) with lid keeps the coffee warm and goes with you, no extra accessories needed
- Brews quickly: the coffee is ready in around 2 minutes, enough for two large cups
- Very compact & light: at 1 kg and 28×12×17.5 cm it fits in any camping box or office spot
- Permanent filter included: no ongoing filter costs; alternatively size 101 paper filters
- Auto switch-off: switches off 10 seconds after brewing ends, so no scorched coffee from a keep-warm plate
Points of criticism
- Only one fixed mug: output goes only into the supplied mug (max. cup height 14 cm), with no jug and no free choice of cup
- Short cable: 68 cm cable length forces a socket within reach
- No keep-warm: it switches off after brewing; if you want a refill, you brew again
