Third-party reviews

What we like about Jata CA287

  • Affordable purchase price and great economic value
  • Compact and space-saving design suitable for small kitchens
  • Eco-friendly permanent reusable filter that eliminates the need for paper filters
  • Effective anti-drip system that prevents messes when removing the glass carafe
  • Easy to clean with a removable filter basket and easy-to-use water level indicator

What we don't like about Jata CA287

  • Relatively low power of 550 Watts slows down the brewing time
  • Mixed user reviews regarding the strength and flavor intensity of the brewed coffee
  • The 8-cup capacity translates to smaller traditional cups, making it less ideal for large mugs
  • Basic lightweight plastic build components feel less premium or robust compared to higher-end models
  • Mixed feedback regarding the final coffee temperature, with some users wanting it hotter

Verdict

The Jata CA287 is an American-style drip coffee maker operating at 550W (230V) with a 600 ml translucent and graduated water tank designed to brew between 2 to 8 cups of coffee. Its core characteristics and pros include a permanent filter, a practical swing-out suspended filter holder, an anti-drip system, and a glass jar with a lid that sits on a non-stick heating plate to keep the coffee warm. It also features an illuminated on/off switch and an automatic shut-off feature that complies with European ERP energy-saving standards. However, its main cons include a lower power output of 550W which can result in slower brewing times compared to high-wattage machines, and its compact 600 ml volume may not be sufficient for larger families or heavy coffee drinkers.
