As per the title really, has anyone got an [url= https://the-oomph.com/ ]Oomph coffee maker[/url]?

I'd like to know if they're any good, might get one for use in the office. Have got an aeropress I sometimes take in. The Oomph seems like a less fiddly solution

I’ve got one, and the best I can say is it’s ok. It makes decent coffee, but the problem I’ve got with it is it’s just a bit strange to drink out of. And won’t fit in car cup holders. Bit of a faff to clean. But no more than the aeropress. Saying that, with the aeropress you’re left with a dry puck. With the Oomph, you’ve got grinds slurry to dispose of. Mine now lives in the cupboard. And if I’m making coffee out of the house, I use the aeropress.

I've got one too, but same story as PaddyMcG - The aeropress makes better coffee and is less faff. Oomph now lives in the cupboard...

I've got one - bought it as a bit of a gimmick, just to try really.
I've an aeropress, which makes lovely coffee. But I find the aeropress a bit of a faff at times.
99% of the time I'm using the bean to cup machine, but want something for travelling etc.

I quite like teh oomph (I think)... i've bene experimenting - it holds a large volume of water; enough to make 2 mugs. Hence, if you only put a spoon or two of coffee in, it's weak!

It's useful for away days I guess...

I agree with most of the above also I find it needs pre-warming otherwise the coffee isn't hot enough?
Definitely not as easy to clean as the website/instructions make out.

Think I'll buy another aeropress instead then, thanks

What PaddyG says covers it really.
