Russell Hobbs, the British home appliance brand, is now offering a Makuake pre-order campaign for its new Fully Automatic Café Drip coffee maker, starting May 20, 2026. The machine is scheduled for general retail release on August 28, 2026, at participating retailers and the brand's official online store.
The coffee maker is designed to handle the entire brewing process automatically — from grinding whole beans to extracting the final cup. Users add beans to the hopper and water to the tank, then press the switch. The machine takes care of the rest.
Background
The home café trend — which became a fixture of daily life in recent years — continues to grow. Fully automatic coffee makers, which handle both grinding and brewing in one step, have earned a following for delivering consistent taste with minimal effort. User expectations have since shifted toward even simpler operation, less maintenance, and greater personalization.
Features
1. Fully Automatic, 6-Cup Capacity
The machine grinds beans, heats water, brews coffee, and then keeps it warm — all in one continuous process. The hopper holds up to approximately 100g of whole beans, and the removable water tank can be refilled directly and holds enough for up to 6 cups (maximum approximately 820ml).
2. Customizable Grind and Brew Settings
The machine offers several adjustable settings to suit different preferences:
- Beans or pre-ground coffee: Can be used with whole beans or pre-ground coffee for standard drip brewing
- Grind size: 5 levels, from fine to coarse
- Brew strength: 3 levels, from light to strong
3. Keep-Warm and Timer Functions
After brewing completes, the machine automatically keeps coffee warm for 40 minutes. A reservation timer function also allows users to set a specific time for brewing to begin, making it easy to have coffee ready at a chosen hour.
4. Additional Features
Other features include selectable brew temperatures, a cleaning reminder notification, a compact design, and a mechanism to minimize coffee ground scatter during grinding.
