Melitta Aromaboy (beige)

I actually love this little coffee machine. At first when I saw how small it was I thought I wouldn't use it. Yes it does only make one mug of coffee, but it makes a very good one. I probably wouldnt buy if multiple people in your house need coffee at the same time, but for one at a time this machine is attractive and space saving, which is what I needed. Brews a coffee from cold water in a couple of minutes and keeps it warm if needed. I recommend the filters made for the machine. I was cutting larger ones down but the small Melitta ones are perfect.

This honest review is for the smallest, the 2 cup wonder of the Melitta Aromaboy (beige) range. Firstly, it was really good to find a two cup machine with a hot plate, so that in itself is a plus. As you would expect from the brand, looks and performs well, and the end result is two cups of good fresh coffee. But, as ever, it’s all in the detail. Setting it up with water and coffee is easy and accurate, but the whole jug and filter assembly leaves something to be desired. If, like me, you are used to the filter part remaining attached to the upper part, you are going get a surprise. The filter component sits loose on the jug, resulting in a rather “rattling” affair as you extricate the jug from the rest of the machine. Simply put, the coffee filter holder comes out with the jug. Included is a separate “plug” to keep the heat in once the filter part has been removed, almost as an apology. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll work with what they give me, but for the sake of an extra £10, they could have come up with a perfect machine to match the perfect cup of coffee. The overall feeling is of a “budget” machine, but if they ever come out with a more well thought out two cupper, I’ll be the first to jump on it.

Such a cute little coffee maker , doesn’t take up space on the counter . Very efficient . Lovely retro style . Can do up to two cups of coffee . So if you want to have more than two cups better to upgrade to a bigger one but for me it’s more than enough . No coffee can go waste .

I have had this for a little while now and I love it. But today it didn't want to work at all. I went to check the fuse in the plug and found the screw holding the live wire was completely loose, not a thread holding it in place. Screwed it back in and it's working fine now but have to wonder how this happened as the coffee maker has not moved since I plugged it in when I got it.

This coffee machine is faultless. High quality, compact and smart. Easy to use and space-efficient. Easy to clean, and the coffee tastes fantastic. If a bigger model were available, I would definitely buy it. The coffee is ready rapidly and brings out all the flavors

If you just want one mug of black coffee in the morning without much fuss, the AromaBoy does the job. It’s compact, simple to use, and brews quickly. Great for small kitchens or solo setups. That said, the build quality feels basic, plasticy and the glass jug does not feel the most robust, which seems quite. While the coffee it can make is decent, it lacks the depth you’d get from more premium machines like a Moccamaster, or indeed a manual pourover like a V60. Filters can also be a bit tricky to source. It’s cute and functional, just don’t expect premium results.

This is a great little filter coffee machine. You only get one sized normal cup out of it but it produces fresh and great tasting coffee in no time. If you live in your own or you fancy a really compact filter coffee machine you won’t be disappointed with the Melitta Aromaboy. Great quality little machine made by a reputable company.

I ultimately decided to buy this for the caravan however I suspect I will have to buy another to use at home. I am the only person in the house who drinks coffee so never took the plunge on a normal drip coffee machine as they usually perform better for a larger pot of coffee so this seemed like an ideal purchase. I knew it was small but it’s much smaller than I expected, that being said it produced more coffee than I thought it would, so creates a really decent sized coffee. In regards to its brew, it doesn’t use a shower head so does tunnel slightly but still produces a perfectly nice (perhaps blonder) coffee, and certainly performs similarly to other <£50 machines. I am still playing with grind size so maybe it’s more down to me. I know I could have spent more money on a machine that produces better coffee, however I don’t think I could have purchased a machine with as much personality as the Aromaboy without financing a Moccamaster

Voor één persoon met een kop van 0,5 liter, of voor twee personen. Voor grotere groepen raad ik een groter koffiezetapparaat aan.

Je voulais cette petite cafetière pour remplacer ma machine expresso qui occupe la moitié de mon plan de travail! Très légère, comme l'évoquent certains commentaires, elle paraît fragile. Elle est conçue pour 2 tasses moyennes, ou 1 grande tasse 250 ml. A l'usage depuis 1 mois , elle remplit sa fonction : chrono en main, en 3 mn elle a chauffé l'eau et m'a rempli la verseuse pour 2 cafés ! Que du bonus pour la planète et pour moi, sachant que sa consommation électrique est de 600 Watts/h contre 2000 watts/h pour le même résultat, et avec un gain de temps non négligeable car elle chauffe l'eau instantanément. D'ailleurs je vous recommande de noter dès le début la durée qu'elle met pour vous faire le café (tasse ou verseuse entière, 3 mn en ce qui me concerne). Ce délai sera très utile ensuite pour vous alerter au bout de 15-20 ou 30 cafés , s'il est nécessaire d'effectuer un nettoyage pour éliminer le calcaire qui risque de boucher le serpentin de cheminement de l'eau chaude. Ce délai est important surtout si votre eau du robinet (surtout pas d'eau minérale) est très calcaire. J'utilise de l'eau filtrée en carafe, et bouillie pour éliminer un max de calcaire. Nettoyage testé avec de l'acide citrique très fin 1/2 cuillère rase à moka, bien dilué dans le volume d'eau de la verseuse avant de remplir le réservoir d'eau. Fréquence : quand les temps s'allongent pour faire remonter l'eau chaude dans la cafetière. Precautions : - la partie réservoir ne se démonte pas ! - l'interrupteur au début est dur à basculer, au fil du temps il devient plus souple. - ne soulevez pas le "couvercle" , la vapeur est brûlante - en fin de cycle la cafetière est bruyante mais c'est normal car c'est la vapeur qui cherche à s'échapper. Vous constaterez de la buée dans le réservoir. - ne laisser pas de l'eau stagner dans le réservoir, pour éviter le dépôt de calcaire et un goût de plastique dans le café. Bref petite cafetière un peu chère pour son poids, qui ne prend pas de place, économique, et très bien conçue : le débit en eau chaude est pertinent par rapport à la taille du porte filtre, dont la conception est bien étudiée pour que vous n'ayez pas de débordement. Elle vous fera un café stretto ou un bien allongé mais ce sera selon votre doigtée et vos goûts !

Çok memnunum, özellikle boyutu. Teşekkürler.
