Rank #7 in Best Filter Coffee Machine 2026: 10 Ranked, Three That Contradict Themselves
Swan Programmable Coffee Maker SK13130N, 750ml
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Swan SK13130N is a black programmable drip filter coffee maker with a 750ml jug, a keep-warm plate and an illuminated LCD timer, listed at £27.99. It sits at number seven in this guide with a 4.3 rating drawn from 3,561 reviews, which puts it among the better-reviewed machines on the list rather than the cheapest novelty buy.
The listing disagrees with itself about power. The product name reads 700W; the first bullet point and the Wattage field in the specification both read 7,000W — a tenfold gap on the same page, and one that decides whether the machine runs off an ordinary kitchen ring or needs its own circuit. Capacity deserves the same scrutiny: the specification says 0.75 litres while the jug's maximum line is marked at 5 cups, which one buyer measured out as two standard mugs. Judge this one on the bullet text and the review count, not on whichever spec box looks tidiest. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for the Swan SK13130N and from the reviews left there; we have not tested the machine ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“This is a small coffee machine, ideal for a single person or a couple. On the jug the maximum line states 5 cups. Think this means small coffee cups because even though I filled the machine to do the maximum amount. I only got 2 mugs of coffee from its maximum capacity. I use a standard size mug rather than small cups. I wouldn't say particularly ideal for large family. But even so I was happy to get 2 mugs out of a single brew. As i live on my own anyway. Also not ideal for lots of guests. But for yourself and 1 guest then yes. Just thought I'd put this review just to give an idea of the size of it. Hope this has helped you make the right choice.”
Verified purchase“This is the second one of these I have bought, the first one lasted 9 years being used on average 2-3 times a day. Easy to use and you can set the timer at night to come on at a specific time in the morning. After the first cup it keeps the coffee warm for about another half hour, very easy to clean. Excellent machine for the price and I wouldn't be without it.”
