Verdict
The Russell Hobbs Oxford brews quickly and evenly with very good taste thanks to its eight-hole shower head, but its narrow tank opening is annoying.

Third-party reviews

What we like about Russell Hobbs Oxford 20130-56

  • Brews coffee quickly and at a high, ideal temperature
  • Showerhead water distribution tech extracts great flavor and aroma
  • Elegant and premium-looking brushed stainless steel design
  • Convenient built-in storage on the machine for the measuring spoon
  • Keeps coffee warm effectively via the integrated hotplate
  • Operates relatively quietly during the brewing process

What we don't like about Russell Hobbs Oxford 20130-56

  • Plastic elements can sometimes emit a strong odor initially, affecting taste
  • May be supplied with a non-UK plug depending on the region of purchase
  • The permanent filter has slightly large pores, letting some coffee sediment through
  • Audible end-of-brewing and auto-shutoff beeps can be annoying to some users
  • The warming plate intermittent heating can result in lukewarm coffee after 40 minutes

Verdict

The Russell Hobbs Oxford 20130-56 is a 1000W drip coffee machine featuring a 1.25-liter glass carafe that brews up to 10 large or 15 small cups of coffee. Built with a sleek black and brushed stainless steel countertop design, its primary highlights include an advanced showerhead technology for optimal aroma extraction, a stop-drip system to serve coffee mid-cycle, an integrated measuring spoon that clips onto the unit, and a built-in warming plate with a 1-hour automatic safety shutoff. Main advantages include its fast brewing capabilities, reliable temperature maintenance, and a visible water level indicator; however, notable disadvantages include the lack of a built-in grinder, the omission of an integrated digital timer or programmable clock, and the requirement to purchase size 4 paper or permanent filters separately.
