Third-party reviews

What we like about Russell Hobbs Honeycomb 27011-56

  • A permanent filter means no paper filters to buy.
  • Auto shut-off after 40 min switches it off on its own.
  • The timer lets you set a brew ahead of time.
  • A warming plate keeps the pot warm for a while.
  • The body is made of stainless steel.
  • The non-slip base keeps it steady on the counter.

What we don't like about Russell Hobbs Honeycomb 27011-56

  • The 1.2 L tank is small for a larger group.
  • The tank cannot be removed, so you fill it on the machine.
  • Parts cannot go in the dishwasher.
  • There is no cleaning reminder, so you track upkeep yourself.
  • It has no automatic cleaning and no mobile app.

Verdict

The Russell Hobbs Honeycomb 27011-56 uses a permanent filter, so there are no paper filters to buy. Its body is stainless steel and it comes in black. The 1.2 L tank is on the small side, so it suits one or two people rather than a full office. An auto shut-off after 40 min switches the machine off without you remembering. The timer lets you set a brew for the morning, and a warming plate keeps the pot hot for a while. The trade-off is upkeep: the tank cannot be removed, the parts cannot go in the dishwasher, and there is no cleaning reminder. There is also no mobile app. It suits a buyer who wants a plain machine with a timer and a steel body, and does not need extras.
