Review: This beauty can make the best coffee you ever had - ***Update*** After couple months the coffee machine works fine. The stainless steel surface in general stays clean. The machine still looks great and very pro in our kitchen! However behind the machine, where the water container meets the stainless steel body there is a tiny spot of corrosion. It appeared at some point, but its not spreading (I hope not). Its behind the plastic clear water container so cant clean it. This is an amazing coffee machine. Its not cheap, but you do get what you pay for. The above removable dispenser-spout spreads the water more evenly on the coffee ground than the average machine would, this together with the correct temperature (92-96c) creates an incredibly smooth & delicious coffee. The same coffee grounds I've used on my previous coffee makers taste so much better on this, try it to believe it! Good tip from big coffee drinkers: if you make more cups for several people, its good to mix the coffee well with a spoon in the carafe. This applies to all filter coffee makers. Another tip: I know Melitta invented the coffee filters - and I do favour them above cheaper supermarket ones. The white ones are bleached with chlorine! Melitta are natural brown paper color, and the Gourmet ones cost around £2.50 for 80 filters here on desertcart UK. Pros I really like: - A LED light in the water container helps filling in low light - Buzzer when coffee is ready is cool - Drip protection works really well - Very quick brewing - plus filtered coffee is hot enough to be pleasant - The under 5 cup switch helps make smaller amounts coffee with good aroma - Easy to keep clean - Automatic switch off - no worry about leaving it on (as per new EU regulations I just read in the news! Some Moccamasters dont have this) Cons... - Price... BUT its much cheaper than similar Moccamasters/Tecnoworms. But offers very similar results - Electric cord is not very long, so you need a socket quiet close. I had to buy extra black extension from desertcart for few quids. - Durability: it looks very well made. But I put it under cons as I havent had it that long to confirm reliability (please see update above) I personally love this machine, its quick and brews just lovely smooth coffee. Spend on better coffee grounds or mill your own beans, and you will have coffee like no other! Personal experience? Im from Finland (biggest coffee drinkers in the world), most friends and family have Moccamasters and similar top models. I used the modern pot type machines (too gimmicky tastes and expensive), filter machines and stove heated espresso makers. I always look for the perfect cuppa when out and about, but Im very very happy to have one of the best coffee in my own house. And the price? Best in UK here on desertcart!
Review: Seems like a good machine - I've only had this a short time but I am very happy with this coffee maker at the moment, but if that changes (hopefully it won't), I'll update this review later. The machine is simple to use, easy to clean, looks good and makes good coffee (obviously dependant on the quality of the coffee and the filter papers being used). I usually make 2-4 cups of coffee at a time and the thermal carafe keeps the coffee hot for at least an hour, but if it has cooled a bit too much, I just pop the cup into the microwave for 20-30 seconds (I only drink black coffee, so I don't need the coffee to be scalding hot anyway). One particular feature I really do like is the fact that the top of the thermal carafe, which feels very well constructed, can easily be removed, making cleaning much easier. I also like the fact that many of these drip machines, including this one, use all the water from the tank, so the coffee is always made with fresh water. The timer feature is a nice bonus and in my case, will prove to be very useful for mornings where I have to get up early and have limited time to make my breakfast. My main criticism, and it is not just applicable to this specific manufacturer, is the labels that they insist on sticking on their products with really-strong adhesive. I had to use some white spirit to remove some of the residual glue on my coffee machine after I managed, with some difficulty, to remove the labels (especially the one attached to the filter holder, which was held on with very strong adhesive). The only other minor niggle is that even Melitta's own paper filters are a little too tall to easily fit in the machine, even after folding the filter papers along the seams as you are supposed to, so to make the process easier, I simply trim about 1/4 of an inch off the tops of the filters with a pair of scissors, before popping them into the filter holder. Would I buy this product again? Based on my initial experience, absolutely.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The melita 1012/04 is much more expensive than the melita 1011/16 or the melita looktherm 6679569. does anyone have any comments?**
A: Not sure, but some are they exact model but come with a different thermal matal jug and some with glass jugs.

**Q: Do you ever have problems with the water leaking from the plastic container when setting up the maker in the evening for morning brew?**
A: No. You MUST locate the reservoir on the vertical slide before lowering it onto the valve.
Hold the reservoir 2 or 3 cm. above the top of the machine.
Push it firmly against the slide.
As you lower it, it will be locked into place before it reaches the valve.

**Q: Does this have a timer? to program it to turn on in the morning etc. description seems to say yes but i don't see a clock or lcd screen**
A: No, there is no clock. The only timer is on the hotplate; you can adjust how long it stays on to keep the coffee hot, up to 90 mins.

**Q: My coffee machine died and i have not used it regularly. changed fuse and still not workingany advise how to fix it?  i don't have guarantee anymore.**
A: I am sorry but i need to answer your question with a question.
How old is your coffee machine

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect coffee with rich lasting aroma when brewing.
*by S***! on 4 May 2020*

This machine really does look the part. The aromas it gives off are lush. The ease of use is good too. Only 4 stars as the filter system does drip once or twice when you take the pot out or put in. A little annoying. Would give it 4½ stars if possible. The coffee this machine make is truly lovely but it does depend on what coffee you use. But the misses and I both reckon its the aromas it gives off when brewing. We fill to 4-6 on the measurometer'rer with 5 table spoons of coffee makes 2 decent size mugs worth of perfect coffee. In fact whilst writing this review and talking about coffee. I need one now... All in all this machine is awesome. Just sad about the one or two drips. This machine would've got 5stars if it hadn't stated that it is drip free. Well worth the buy. No regrets so far.
