Melitta Filter Coffee Machine with Integrated Ceramic Grinder with 11 Settings, Adjustable Strength, Makes 2 to 10 Cups, Timer Function, AromaFresh II, 3.7 kg, Black, UK Plug

This fits a definite very small slot in todays market for people with particular requirements: 1- Grinds bean to cup 2- Has a hopper on top for several days supply of beans 3- Alternatively can be set for use of ground coffee (just don't, see below) 4- Can be set for timed use 5- Milk frothing not required. If you want frothed milk, use a fork to beat hot milk and save a fortune! I had the older version of this machine which served its purpose well. I was surprised hunting to satisfy the above requirements there were very few actual machines that satisfied my needs at a reasonable cost - some of them are atrociously expensive. I actually saw one machine at £1,799! This gives you lovely fresh coffee and whatever you want to put in it is your choice- frothed milk, cream, coffee mate (my preference) or just black. At £174 it will make a superb fresh coffee at 1/10th the price of the Super Dooper GTi wallet lightener coffee machine at £1,799! I don't bother with the clock/timer as I don't program it and I'm happy to make coffee while my breakfast is on. It is adjustable in grind level, quantity and strength. A machine like this glows with fresh coffee beans- I don't use ready ground coffee. Who knows how many roaches are baked with the beans and ground into ready ground coffee? Just don't! If you want a machine that does all the above, this one is good. Nobody can tell the actual difference in coffee from one machine to another, so the main choice factor is actually satisfying your requirements. It's Continental, not Chinese (I hope!), so the coffee must be good! Whoops! I have just checked the box.....it says 'Designed in Germany'. More Chinese stuff, but built to European standards. Get it now before they invade Taiwan and all their stuff is embargoed and the prices for European equivalents go through the roof! And Costco beans make the coffee hum- thank goodness coffee doesn't come from China as well (says he checking his coffee bags!).

Very happy with this purchase. Simple to set up and very easy to use. Great build quality and does exactly what it's supposed to, make coffee. The coffee stays warm in the jug for quite some time. I love the auto setting so I have a nice coffee when I wake without the need to wait first thing. It's easy to clean, and overall, I think it's great value for money.

We've had this coffee machine since Dec 2024and it functions well. We use it daily for 1-2 jugs' worth of coffee and really like it. The consistency of the grind has been fine, it's easy to clean and user-friendly. We particularly like the timer so that we can have a fresh coffee to grab as we run out the door for the commute. The jug is pretty small in comparison to another Melitta machine we've had in the past though - probably makes 3.5 mugs (not cups) of coffee. We've also had the coffee grinds compartment break - where it attaches to the machine is pretty flimsy - it's been a relatively easy fix (involving some super glue), and we've only had to do it twice. Overall, I'd still recommend it.

For the first month this machine was great. Now it keeps jamming up and is unusable for grinding. I have followed every bit of advice for cleaning, changing beans, adjusting setting but it jams every time. I have just had to buy a coffee grinder. This is a very bad machine.

Initial observations Positive : Colour display, adjustable brightness, sound level, clock Time settings / 2 options to set the timer Grinder - 11 settings plus 3 strength options Caraffe- keeps the coffee warm only for 1-2 hrs Coffee strength selection options Nice aroma dependable on the coffee quality and freshness Coffee machine size - reasonable Removable water tank Negatives: Multiple issues with the grinder, despite all the adjustment settings , coffee remained corse and the amount of coffee beans used per cup of coffee . Because of this I decided to return it and look for more suitable alternative

Sigh… died after 15 months. But it is clearly the best option on the market for bean to jug coffee maker that I can find - and with great functionality like alarms so you can wake up with it made - and the thermal jug is great. So have ordered another one (but for much cheaper from Homebase).

Quality of coffee beans used is most important. This is an excellent coffee machine , the grind direct to container is such a brilliant concept, resulting in no mess. This machine is so easy to use with fantastic coffee

This makes good coffee and is a convenient package... when it works. Unfortunately both units I have purchased have been defective. The first one had a failed display backlight and could not be programmed even though everything was still working. The second has failed after only 3 weeks, it appears that motor for the powder chute has failed and has to be opened and closed by hand meaning that the automatic programme doesn't work (there is a chute position sensor check before it heats the water to make the coffee). Amazon has refunded me and I am now wondering what to do with the second unit... I will let Melitta try to fix it but in all honesty I am probably going to buy a Moccamaster and just grind my own beans manually. These machines are complex and have a lot of things that can go wrong.

le café en grains est insipide malgré tous les réglages réalisés sur la cafetière

Die Kaffeemaschine ist sehr gut, nach ein paar Versuchen ist alles perfekt eingestellt. Erst war ich skeptisch, da der Karton einschließlich einem älteren Retourschein wie eine Rücksendung aussah, habe aber an der Kaffeemaschine nichts zu bemängeln.

Kapseln und ähnliches mag ich nicht, aber ich liebe Filterkaffee! Diese Maschine habe ich gekauft, weil sie wie die Automaten, die Kaffeebohnen vorher mahlt und dann der herrliche Duft der frisch gemahlenen Bohnen durch die Küche zieht. Ich freue mich jedes Mal auf den Kaffee, bisher hat mich diese Maschine noch nicht enttäuscht! Ich bin zu einer Zeit aufgewachsen, als Mutter noch mit der hölzernen Kaffeemühle am Schoss, jeden Tag den Kaffee gemahlen hat, das blieb mir in Erinnerung. Und der Kaffeesatz wandert später einfach auf den Kompost. Für mich also die ideale Lösung, wie früher, aber doch modern!

No replacement parts r available

The quality of the coffee machine is very good, we just needed to change the plug to an Australian one which was very simple to do. We are also very happy about the can as the coffee stays warm for a very long time.
