Redline MK1 allows me to manually pause brewing to enjoy a cup of coffee faster. ✓ Manual mid-brew pause to enjoy coffee faster and allow a longer extraction time. During this time, hot water drops over coffee beans to give them a head-start on de-gassing. This “pre-brewing” takes 30 seconds before the actual extraction. Pre-infusion allows coffee beans for a fuller and more complete extraction. ✓ Stronger, richer and more complete coffee flavors with the pre-infusion mode. The coffee maker comes with really nice (and unique) features. We were afraid of accidentally breaking it.Īdditional perks: We were so excited for this Redline MK1 Review. However, the carafe appeared very thin to me. This allowed an even distribution of coffee inside the carafe for consistent flavor and heat inside the carafe. Inside the carafe, I found an insulated funnel. ![]() The inclusion of boron ensures higher durability of glass. A carafe is subjected to quickly changing temperatures at all times. Similarly, when coffee is finished and carafe is ready for washing, the temperature decreases significantly. Unlike common glass, boron glass makes carafes resistant to thermal shocks. This was quite challenging to see.Ĭarafe: Redline MK1 comes with a high boron glass carafe. However, just like with other drip coffee makers, the numbers are white on a transparent background. We are able to see the numbers, which indicate how much water to pour for a specific number of cups. Just like with other coffee machines, the water reservoir comes with a volume scale on its side. It can accommodate about 8 cups of water (1.3 liters). Water reservoir: Unfortunately, the water reservoir is not removable. We were even able to re-fill water easily. I had no problem with the space under my kitchen cabinets. The machine is about 8 inches deep, 14 inches deep, and about 14.5 inches tall. Unit size: Unlike Moccamaster Cup One or OXO Barista Brain, Redline MK1 is slim and handsome. This is a fairly light coffee maker given its size and capabilities. Weight: Redline MK1 weighs about 7 pounds. Though this may not sound like a lot for larger households, this was perfect for myself and 2 other guests of mine. The brewer yields about 8 cups of coffee. Further, the cleaning was super fun!īeverage size: Redline MK1 drip coffee maker is a little bit smaller than other drip coffee makers. We were able to insert coffee grounds easily, without making too much mess. Unlike other drip coffee makers, Redline MK1 offers a slide-out filter basket for easy loading and cleaning. However, we really love the design of the brew basket. This machine uses #4 paper filters that we were able to purchase separately. Therefore, in order to brew coffee using the Redline MK1, I need to use paper filters. The basket does not come with its own filter, as is the case of many other drip coffee machines. Therefore, this coffee maker would accommodate about (up to 12 teaspoons of coffee grounds). ![]() As a rule of thumb, we typically use 8 grams (or 1.5 teaspoons) of coffee grounds per each cup of coffee. Voltage: Redline MK1 is made for 120V, and can be used in Canada and the US only.īasket size: Redline MK1’s basket is large enough to contain enough coffee grounds for 8 cups of coffee. ![]() I found this unit easy to move around or lift, but 7 pounds could pose challenges for some people. Given the materials with which Mk1 is made, the appliance weighs around 7 lbs. The machine not only feels light but is light. Because of its stylish yet versatile looks, this drip coffee maker should fit into a variety of different styles and spaces. Redline MK1 comes in just one color option: black and silver. The rest of the coffee maker was a rather neatly looking plastic. The brew chamber looked as though it was made out of high grade aluminium. All I had to do was to press the button to turn the machine on/off. The machine was very easy to use with one-touch operation. I fell in love with Redline MK1’s clean, simple yet elegant design. The second part is the brewing head along with the space for a glass carafe. The first part is the body with a heating element and a transparent water reservoir. After some time I started to notice similarities in appearance between Redline MK1 and other best drip coffee makers,such as Moccamaster KBG741 or Breville Precision Brewer. Upon seeing Redline MK1, I immediately knew I had seen this coffee maker somewhere else before.
