Looking to buy thermal filter machine

bothyhead

I'm looking to buy a filter machine that uses a thermal carafe - something like a Gaggia G103. They are nearly impossible to source on the web, with most offerings being in the States. Could someone recommend a good one that's available to buy here, or from a UK website.

Many thanks

Check Amazon UK and refine the search to only show filter coffee machines. Numerous models in stock from several manufacturers.

Yeah, I've been looking there. The vast majority do not have a thermal carafe. However, it looks like it may be my best bet. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure that either Lidl/Aldi sell something similar to that gaggia product every few mths.

I use a hario v60 directly over a thermal flask which is a relatively low cost solution. You can pick up all sizes of thermal flasks for under €10 in TkMaxx.
You can pick up a plastic v60 from badger and dodo for €5 and 100 paper filters for under €5

Alternatively to the v60 you could also go with a Kalita Glass dripper or a Kalita wave - hasbean sell a range of them. Squaremile sell the clever coffee dripper

In the end, I bough a Phillips filter machine with a stainless steel thermal carafe from Amazon's German site. My existing seven-year-old machine is also a Philips, and I have been more than pleased with it. Thanks for all your feedback.
