Verdict
The Russell Hobbs Inspire makes good American coffee and hot water for tea, but its fixed water tank and steam from the lid make it hard to clean.

Third-party reviews

What we like about Russell Hobbs 24390-56

  • Premium textured high-gloss white design with elegant chrome accents
  • WhirlTech brewing technology ensures rich aroma and maximum flavor extraction
  • Convenient 24-hour programmable digital timer for fresh morning coffee
  • Generous 1.25-liter capacity brewing up to 10 large or 15 small cups
  • Reliable integrated drip-stop feature allows pouring mid-cycle without mess
  • Keep-warm plate automatically maintains coffee temperature for 40 minutes
  • User-friendly design that is highly accessible and easy to fill with water

What we don't like about Russell Hobbs 24390-56

  • The 40-minute automatic shut-off limit on the warming plate is too short for some users
  • Plastic exterior components feel less durable compared to premium stainless steel models
  • Lacks an integrated bean grinder, requiring pre-ground coffee or a separate machine
  • Uneven water distribution can occasionally lead to slight over-extraction or a bitter taste

Verdict

The Russell Hobbs 24390-56 Inspire is an 1,100 W drip coffee maker with a 1.25-litre glass carafe for 10 large or 15 small cups. WhirlTech brewing helps distribute water over the ground coffee, and the machine has a 24-hour programmable digital timer, a 40-minute warming plate with automatic shut-off, anti-drip serving, an integrated measuring spoon and a removable washable filter holder. It does not include a permanent filter, so disposable paper filters are required, and the glossy plastic body can show scratches and wear.
