A lovely machine and a steal at the price it was being sold at. Very simple to operate and the timer function is flawless, alongside the aroma setting which balances the flavour nicely. The insulated pot keeps the coffee warm for around an hour if you like it hot, and then it gradually cools but is still perfectly drinkable. Filters, a little sachet of descaling fluid and instructions that are easily to follow are included. It’s a good one and looks nice!
I have bought this model due to good reviews and the way it is built, everything about this machine is easy use. Very easy to use, as well as clean, there is nothing bad about this. I use flavoured coffee and I don’t like it too strong, the intensity indicator works well for this. I do suggest buying a box of filters when purchasing as you only get 5 with the machine. I really am happy with this dream machine
This is a really good filter machine, easy to use and clean and the jug really does keep the coffee piping hot for hours. Highly recommended

Terrific in every way. Quiet, neat, easy clean.
Keep the coffee hot for longer but warming the flask first with hot kettle water, then use that to fill the machine top to use. Mix it with colder water to make coffee as the container is plastic so I avoid really hot water in there. Taylors no.4 green bag coffee i use, although other brands are available.
If it breaks in the future, I’ll buy it agai
Having had all sorts of filter coffee machines in the past and given most of them away because the coffee was never hot enough, this one with the thermos jug is the best. Finally decent coffee!
This Melitta coffee machine is excellent value for money and has some great features. I really like the insulated jug as it keeps the coffee hot for a good couple of hours and you dont need to keeep it switched on. It has an aroma selector on the top that is very simple to set and it also has a timer function which is very useful at times. There is a setting that will let you know when it is time to clean the maching, how often you’ll need to do this will depend on how hard or soft your water is and how much the machine is used. I would recommend this without hesitation, its fantastic.
Had a kitchen aid coffee machine, broke the jug. They wanted 60 for a new one bought this and will never look back. Jug keeps the coffee warm almost all day which is a bonus too!
I don’t think I have ever left a review on Amazon, but thought this needs it.
Cup quantity
Not sure how they measured this but on the standard takeaway cup of 8 oz I got only 7 cups, and 4 on the 12 oz.
Brewery timing
It was exactly 8 min from full to empty and the water reservoir was on full capacity.
Taste of coffee
I can’t comment on this as I did not drink coffee!
Holding of heat of liquid
I did a blank brew to run water through the machine, and then timed to see how long it would take to cool down. It’s been 9 hours since it has been in the thermo jug and it’s still HOT! (Steaming coming off cup in video)
It would have been nice to have a coffee measuring spoon with the machine, as I’m a total novice when it comes to coffee quantities, but this is a small thing.
Overall very happy so far with the machine.
This machine is fantastic. One of the cheapest on the market but it makes an amazing pot of coffee.
I’ve found most filter machines don’t heat the water enough to get the flavour out of the coffee so you just get a pot of light brown, luke warm water. This machine heats the water up to the right temperature to get the best out of the coffee grinds. It’s always strong enough.
The thermal jug is such a brilliant idea. It keeps the coffee genuinely hot for hours without wasting any power at all.
The timer function is easy to set, and the whole machine is easy to take apart and keep clean.
A downside for some is that it doesn’t have a permanent coffee filter. The Melitta paper filters are very cheap on Amazon though so it really doesn’t bother me, and it means you don’t get that plasticky taste a reusable filter can sometimes cause and you don’t get any coffee grind leaking through at all. It also helps with cleaning as you don’t get loose coffee grinds.
It’s 5/5 for me. I’d recommend this machine to anyone.
How did I survive before this? Coffee your way, as strong as you want it. Kept beautifully hot for a couple of hours without burning on a heat pad and it can be ready when you get up in the morning. Best money I have spent in a very long time.
I use this every day! It’s a quality build, and also keeps the coffee hot for a good while (although I pour it into a thermos jug normally anyway.) It switches itself off after 15 minutes, saving electricity, has a digital clock and timer (which I haven’t used) and reminds you to de-calc it every so often.
I absolutely love this machine, so easy to use, no mess and the timer allows you to get up in the morning to the smell of fresh coffee all ready for you – no more instant coffee for me.
This machine is easy to use, has a good capacity and brews fairly quickly, with less steam emission than my old machine. Overall, the machine looks good and is easy to clean.
My only criticisms are: I have to put in slightly more ground coffee to get a decent strength, even with using the “intense” setting. It could do with brewing at a slightly higher temperature, as the coffee tends to get lukewarm after an hou
Great tasting coffee, large capacity – about 4 decent sized mugs. Timer function works.
Most impressive feature is the insulated jug the coffee goes into, it can be put onto any surface and keeps the coffee hot for an hour or so after brewing
I use this with a reusable filter, which makes this a really environmentally friendly coffee machine that also makes superb coffee. It takes some tweaking to adjust for your blend, but with the timer function it’s a very practical and usable choice. Insulated jug works well.
Nothing to dislike about this product.
Easy to use, love the timer function which I set before bed and wake up to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The jug keeps the coffee hot without effecting the taste.
If I could give this coffee machine more than five stars, I would, it really is that good.
All of my previous coffee machines have had hotplates to keep the coffee warm, this one does not.
It has a vacuum carafe, and it keeps coffee just as hot as when it’s brewed and that was a very pleasant surprise.
It will also be cheaper to run, especially in this day and age of out of control energy prices.
Highly recommended.
Very easy to use and program, producing good coffee for when I get up in the morning.
It’s a great machine, exceptional value for the price, and the insulated carafe keeps coffe good for an hour.
Easy to use, easy to rinse between jugs, easy to deep clean every couple of days, uses a third less coffee than cafetire although I miss the crema (foam on top). I found if I remove the jug from the plate it keeps coffee hotter although I do reheat the last couple of cups in the microwave. I would highly recommend this purchase

Have had many filter coffee machines over the years but this is the best ! Very hot coffee when 1st poured and stays pretty hot for up to 2hrs. Grea
As a coffee lover I can say that I had loads of coffee machine. This one is definitely the best one I have ever had. It is quick to make the coffee, the taste is awesome, it’s adjustable, it’s easy to use and clean and it conserves the coffee very hot for a long time.
Easy to clean and easy to use. I haven’t bothered with the timer settings just used it when required but you do have to set the timer before it will work so I just press the hour button once-it sets to 1 o’clock and then works ok. Then turn it off at the wall after use.
Fantastic machine and works, and keeps coffee hot even after 5 hours. Bought on sale on Amazon at half price of RRP so grab one. It keeps coffee hot via the thermos flask mechanism and thus needs no hotplate that some say cooks the coffee. I have a proper expresso machine as well and this was for the larger family, and all seem to enjoy the convenience. I have not used the timer function yet as I have no need of that.

Absolutely love everything about this machine – it’s super easy to use and makes amazing coffee, it’s quick, easy to clean, looks good in my kitchen – I don’t have anything negative to say about it. I’ll never drink instant coffee again.
I stayed with my sister for a couple of days before Christmas & she had one of these coffee makers & I was so impressed with how it worked I ordered one when I got home. The main reason was the thermal coffee pot that keeps your brewed coffee hot for ages. Once your coffee is made the machine switches off saving you on your electricity bill – what’s not to like about that. If I’m working I can take the coffee pot with me & have a top up. I don’t need a heat resistant mat as the base is cool & I don’t seem to be wasting as much coffee as it’s not over brewed. Love the fact that it has a timer but haven’t used that yet. Overall I would highly recommend
A year ago I bought the Melitta aromaboy because it was only 35. I mostly liked the coffee it made but on occasion it would be a little bitter. A month ago I smashed the jug and couldn’t find a replacement so I bought this.
It cost me 48 but it is at least 5x better than the aromaboy. Every coffee has been delicious.
I’ve tried a few coffee makers with hot plates and found with the best will in the world the coffee is cold and stewed after 40 minutes. I like to leave it longer than that between cups and making more coffee is a faff so when I read that this was thermal I was intrigued.
It works. It absolutely works. The timer kicks in at half past eight when my husband grabs his first mug and when I go for mine at half past nine it’s still hot and fresh. By lunchtime there is still hot, fresh coffee in the jug from the morning. It’s amazing. No hotplate, just a thermal jug.
Frankly I’m baffled why other manufacturers persist with hot plates when Melitta have found the perfect solution.
Let me start by saying I love my coffee. I guess we all have our own vices and mine is coffee. I have been using french press for a long time and was happy with it than I found out filtered coffee tastes a lot better so I decided to give it a try. After few days of research I bought this one. One of the main reason was break proof jug as I am very clumsy. It a very nice looking machine fits well in my kitchen, very easy to use no millions of buttons to press, you can adjust aroma to your liking, very easy to clean and most importantly it does not drip at all. You can set timer if you want to wake up for a nice cup off coffee in the morning though I have not used it myself. I hear you are saying what about the taste as that was the main reason you said you were looking for a filter coffee machine. This machine brews wonderful coffee, I love it. It is very good value for money, no glass jug to replace if it is broken which I read, some cost almost as much as the machine itself. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.

I finally tested timer function and it works absolutely fine.
I also tested how long the coffee will stay hot. After an hour and fifty minutes my coffee was still hot and was as good as it was brewed in the first place.
I have owned quite a lot of coffee machines and methods of brewing coffee over the years and I think this machine might be my favourite for every day use. Easy to clean and by far my favourite feature is the insolated jug. I have had times where I’ve gone to the jug 5-6 hours later and the coffee is still hot. No longer worrying about a hot plate being on or not. Highly recommend this product.
I bought this coffee machine to replace an old 20 basic coffee filter machine that was 2 years old and had finally given up on me and this is a product worth reviewing.
I like to brew coffee every morning but don’t have much interest in machines with fancier features & silly prices. This machine was a revelation however – the thermal flask is exceptional at keeping coffee warm, a good 6-7 mugs worth kept easily piping hot for 3-4 hours after brew, and with no hot plate the flavour stays perfect. This alone is well worth the money, as my previous machine had a manual keep warm feature that would warm up the coffee hot plate for 15 more minutes but we always forgot and ended up microwaving a tepid mug’s worth which really depletes its flavour.
The timer feature is also handy for setting up the night before.
Overall, good brand, well made machine, excellent brews, and the price is great. Highly recommended.
This is for making filter coffee when guests come over. Easy to use, keeps the coffee fairly warm and a well made piece of equipment. Can’t fault it.
I’m loving this machine for my morning coffees. Filters are easy to get and reasonably priced (unlike the capsule con). The one slight reservation I have is about the Calc button which stays on permanently even after descaling a month in. That niggle isn’t affecting the machine’s operation or my delight in using it everyday.
The coffee machine looks good and is very efficient and really easy to clean. I warm the coffee jug before use as otherwise I don’t think the coffee is warm enough and with no hot plate it doesn’t warm with time. I am not sure just how long the coffee will stay warm for but I have had hot coffee after 45 minutes. I am still experimenting with the settings to find the perfect cup of coffee but otherwise this machine does what it says on the tin.
I found it confusing to just start the machine without using the timer. I therefore press the timer to 1 and press start and it works. Apart from that the coffee is excellent and it keeps hot in the thermos flask and is easy to clean.
This is a fantastic product as it is well-designed and keeps the coffee hot for many hours. The product appears to be sturdy and of good quality.
Unfortunately the product from Amazon Warehouse arrived with a dent in the jug (not specified in the description) which spoiled the experience. I did not return the item due to the Covid pandemic situation.
I later bought another jug to replace the dented one.

Pros. Easy to use. Quality construction. Excellent for keeping coffee hot (thermos jug). Processes full tank quickly.
Cons. Seems to calc up quite quickly which means, after about a week, the processing time slows down because it keeps switching off to cool down, then fires back up afsin until it’s finished. De-calc and it’s back to normal. I checked the hardness of our water and its classed as ‘moderate’ so work that out for your own area.
How can you score the flavour? Surely that depends on the coffee!
Overall I’d recommend. We use it every morning and it works a treat.

Where this machine really shines in convenience. I have it set to brew at 8am so it’s ready for my first meeting of the day and the jug keeps the coffee warm for a surprisingly long time – even going back at 1pm I get a perfectly drinkable cup.
I find the coffee a bit weak with the same quantity of grounds I use in a cafetiere but a couple of extra scoops and it makes a decent cup. Recommended if you want reliably good coffee throughout your morning.
I can say this was one of my recent best buys. The insulated jug keeps the coffee hot for 2 hours and warm for another hour. The most important part is the taste doesn’t change, unlike the hot plate machines, the coffee is like freshly prepared even after 2 – 3 hours.
Descaler alert is another plus as I always forget to do it. The timer works as expected.
No issues after 6 months of everyday use.

I do love my Melitta coffee machine, having had a Ninja that went wrong previously. It’s the first thing I do when I get to the kitchen in the morning – load it with water and coffee and get on with making kids school lunches in the morning and within a few short minutes, I have my essential, tasty coffee freshly brewed! The only slight gripe is that it’s slightly tricky to pour the water into the reservoir but you soon get used to it and it’s worth it.
I was slightly sceptical as to wether this would make and keep the coffee hot enough but needn’t have been.
The thermos jug keeps coffee hot enough for 2-3 hours, which is normally as long as it lasts in our household.
On the very rare occasion we/I have been a bit slow, the coffee stays hotter for longer and when only one cup has been poured before work gets in the way, the coffee still plenty hot enough after 3 hours in the jug.
If we leave about a third of the jug for any longer than the aforementioned 2-3 hours then we do put the coffee in the microwave to add just a little extra heat as we like our coffee HOT!
I have played with the timer and it works perfectly well but doesn’t get used as it only takes a few minutes to brew the coffee.
Best of all, no stewed coffee as after it is brewed the thermos jug keeps it hot with no continual heating applied.
Overall, pleased and impressed.
Overall it is ok. Keeps the coffee warm. Thermos is a great idea and a great part of this machine. But when it comes to timer function it is not ok and makes me annoyed. Time disappears when you off the plug. You have to re-set the time whenever you put the plug on. No memory. So, time consuming. So I don’t use timer function. Water tank is not removable so not easy to clean. Now 3-4 months back and used around 20 times and its calc button is on now. I think this is too fast to build calc. I will look for a de-calc product now. Again overall it is ok. But I would go for the one water tank is removable if I was a new buyer.
This is the best filter coffee machine I have ever had. The coffee is piping hot when first brewed. There is a strength adjustment which I have on the lowest setting. The thermal jug keeps the coffee hot enough for me to drink up to three hours from brewing. There is a decalcify reminder that comes on dependant on how hard the incoming water. You have to manually set the range and the time between decalcification warnings depends on this setting. I have not used the timer and never will so cannot comment on this. One thing to watch for is that the coffee machine will not work if the time has not been set. So if there is a power cut or somebody unplugs the machine you have to re-set the time. Shame it does not have a battery backup to keep the time going.
A brilliant machine. Easy to operate and lovely hot coffee. I did think about having the gold filter but decided on the paper ones and i am glad i did as it is so easy to throw the paper filter away when coffee making finished – no coffee grounds all over the place. Would recommend as far superior to a coffee machine with a hot plate at the base. May be a bit more expensive but well worth it.
This is day 1, day 1 of waking up to coffee freshly brewed, no more cleaning out the Cafetiere! Easy to set up and clean the parts before use, it’s not a long list of instuctions, it’s simple and straight forward. I read all the reviews on here before purchasing, majority 4/5 stars. Some were negative, but no problems so far! Just be careful with coffee to water ratio and measure out your coffee first! I like the fact it keeps the coffee hot, i woke up an hour after it brewed. I recommend, very happy customer!
I bought this to try something different from the milky espresso based drinks I have been consuming for the last few years. After a bit of research this one seemed to be the best value for money.
After a few attempts, I managed to get a good flavour, still adding a bit of milk and sugar. Then I decided to try just straight from the jug. Wow what a revelation, the difference each regional type of coffee makes to flavour. The shear amount of intense flavours that you can achieve. The hardest thing I have now is limiting the amount I consume. Would highly recommend this, the fact that the brew is kept warm for hours by the insulated jug rather than a heating plate means the flavours remain unchanged as it doesn’t stew.
The coffee stays hot for several hours (long enough to ensure it is all gone before it goes cold!) and it has a button pour feature which helps keep the coffee closed to the air and warmer for longer. This machine makes a nice smell of coffee when brewing but it doesn’t linger as once the coffee has made its way into the thermos there is no further significant evaporation as in other ‘hot plate’ type machines..
I like that it doesn’t use a hot plate as these can burn the coffee or create burnt stains in the bottom of pots and are a bit of a hazard. The thermos approach is much better for keeping the coffee tasting right and since it isn’t burnt in the pot, I only ever have to rinse the pot in cold water whilst collecting the water for the next round. These design choices make the pot great for offices where people can be a bit ignorant of turning things off/watching things. I also like how the filter holder unfolds right out and that the insert removes for a quick rinse making this a very easy to clean machine. No complaints at all, wish I had picked 2 up when they were on offer.

The machine makes the coffee very quickly and it stays hot because of the vacuum flask. It is easy to clean and the filter papers are easy to insert and take out. The instructions of how to turn it on and the timings could be a lot clearer, but once I had worked it out, this is a real treat. I get the smell of freshly made coffee and a huge pot all to myself – delicious on these cold days.

The hotplate on our old machine broke after 10 years so I eventually decided on this as a replacement. It’s great for saving energy as the jug is insulated instead of having a hotplate, and has features I like such as the timer function and intensity dial. The water hardness/descale function is a nice feature, though it’s only really a glorified countdown timer!
Coffee easily stays hot for a couple of hours. Makes good tasting coffee (as you’d expect); good value for money. Happy with this purchase.
I bought the Melitta after breaking my glass filter coffee jug and couldn’t find a replacement. I didn’t really think there could be a difference in filter coffee machines but I was wrong! Goodbye tepid coffee hello hot aromatic coffee. The insulated jug keeps the coffee piping hot. The paper filter system really improved the coffee taste added with the intensity feature. The timer is simple to use once you set the clock and it only takes a few minutes to produce a full jug of coffee. It for me was definitely worth the extra investment.
It makes coffee as expected. The coffee ends up in a steel vacuum flask and stays drinkable for quite some time, which is exactly why I bought it.
I don’t use the timer function so I can’t comment on that. I make coffee when I get up, it takes about 5 minutes to have a cup of hot coffee in my cup.
This is a great coffee maker. Simple and easy to use. One of the things that I so like is the timer. Since I start work early in the morning its so nice to have the coffee ready and waiting. Insulated jug is certainly a bonus keeps the coffee warm for awhile. I am very happy with this coffee maker and its working prefectly well. I sincerely hope it lasts for a long time.
This model has both good and bad. The Thermos stops the coffee getting “stewed”, however it is difficult to pour all the coffee our and the design cannot be washed out to remove old coffee stains easily. The jug cannot be used to fill up the machine, requiring another “jug2 to fill the machine with water. It is however easy to top up with another jug as the lid does not get in the way as my previous machines did.
There is a seperate “swing out” part at the front which makes adding the paper filter (no mesh filter provided, which for me means less to wash/clean, however others will find this a disadvantage.
The machine is quick to make the coffee and turns off (no heat pad because coffee kept hot by flask) which means coffee does not stew and requires less power consumption.
I had been using a filter coffee machine from another maker, for a couple of years, and although I was happy with it, I had the urge to try something new. After trawling through the endless list of available machines, I decided on the Melitta filter machine. I was pleasantly surprised at the improvement in performance. It is easy to use, brews quickly and quietly, and makes a superb cup of coffee. I also like the insulated jug which keeps your coffee hot for a couple of hours, if required. It is a better solution,than the hot plate of my previous machine, which if left for any length of time, tended to stew the coffee. Finally, it is also easy to clean, which is always a bonus.
I bought this product to replace a basic coffee machine with a glass jug (which eventually broke). We have used it 3 times and so far so good. I always warm the jug with hot water from the tap before use and have found that the coffee remains hot (I understand that you can’t do that with the timer function). We have a basic metal cafetire which we use when camping and have always done this.
The machine is easy to clean and easy to use. In relation to the descaling setting it was simple enough to find out online how hard our water was. We have the intensity level set to maximum and it produces nice coffee.
We don’t leave it plugged in all the time so have to reset the clock every time we use it however I don’t actually set the time I just press the minute button once and the machine works (when you read the instructions you will see what I mean). All in all pleased with the product.
Simple put, if you’re not going to spend 500 on a state of the art coffee machine that makes different kinds of coffee and all the extra works, this is definitely the next best thing. It works beautifully. The flavour of the coffee is great, the timer is easy to use and it’s very easy to clean. I am thoroughly enjoying this coffee maker after using it for over a week now. I will update this review if there’s Wong but otherwise, buy it, it’s fantastic

I treated myself to this as a birthday present to replace my one cup machine. The insulated jug works brilliantly and keeps the coffee warm for hours without stewing it. The timer function is also brilliant and it means that I don’t have to mess about in the morning, I can just pour myself a good cup of coffee as soon as I wake up ( provided I remember to set it up the night before.)
I highly recommend this machine.
I tend to do a bit of research before buying products such as this and the Melitta Filter Coffee Machine was highly recommended. I now understand why. The Meitta has a considerably smaller footprint than our previous coffee machine and looks rather elegant on the worktop. Cleaning the machine is always a chore, but the design of the Melitta Filter Coffee Machine makes the task less onerous than it might be. You quickly start to wonder how you ever managed without the timer function. Waking to freshly brewed coffee is a treat that never gets old. And what excellent coffee it is too!

We’ve had this for few months now.
Not really sure what to think about it. It’s got some good features like timer or insulated jug. It tells you when it needs descaling. Although that’s quite annoying cause mine needs it very often and I use filter water from BRITA jug. Maybe Brita doesn’t work like it should or the coffee machine sensor isn’t very accurate.
I kinda struggle with keeping the jug clean. The lid also seems to keep some water stuck inside which isn’t very good.
Another good point. It is actually non drip. I’ve never had any coffee dripping after removing the jug. Good as I’ve had machines that were dripping when you removed jug even though it had non drip feature.
Coffee tastes nice, but not as good as from high end machines.
I think for 50 that we paid it was a good purchase. I wouldn’t probably pay more though.

This coffee machine is amazing. Firstly and most importantly it makes gorgeous coffee. It is incredibly easy to use: just pop in a compostable paper filter, add water and coffee and push go. Within a few minutes you have lovely piping hot coffee. The timer function works really well (if you’re organised enough to set it up the night before). The thermal jug is absolutely brilliant and keep the coffee warm for hours. If I make a pot at 0530 it is still hot at lunchtime. It also pours really easily and does not dribble coffee all over the counter when pouring. My only slight negative is that you can’t put the jug in the dishwasher but not a big deal
We live in a very hard water area and have always found descaling a chore. It is very easy to use the descale on this machine. The machine tells you when you need to descale. Then you just need to fill it with descaling solution and push go. After running for 25mins it is done and you just rinse it through a couple times.
Overall this is a fabulous coffee maker and four months after making our purchase we have no regrets.

As I said, I don’t normally write reviews but feel I owe this product a review. If you’re reading this your likely wondering, if it has a timer so you can wake up to fresh coffee and YES it does! You’re also wondering if its actually HOT? Yes it is, this was the biggest win for me, it is hotter than expected, I got a shock at how hot the brew is. The thermo jug is the best, it keeps it hot for a surprisingly long time. 4 hours after and you can enjoy a hot brew.
1st hour – very hot.
1 to 2 hours – hot
2 to 4 hours – still hot but not lip burning
4 hours plus stays warm and still enjoyable.
– Great Coffee Maker – coffee tastes nice.
We use 4 big spoons of coffee to a full water jug and get 4 xlarge mugs of coffee
2 big spoons of coffee to a half full water jug and get 2 xlarge mugs of coffee.
For the price, serious value for money you won’t be disappointed

I’ve had my eye on one of these for awhile. So far no issues whatsoever. The insulated jug holds coffee warm for a couple of hours and because it’s not on a hot plate the coffee does not become bitter. Water reservoir easy to fill. Coffee filling easy to. Not sure how easy it will be to clean as I’ve not had it long enough. I only use filtered water so should be some time. No issue with spout dribbling. Service and delivery good.
Let’s just clear up one thing though….125ml isn’t a large cup of coffee! I drink from a Le Creuset mug which holds 350ml (12oz), so if I fill my mug with 125ml it’s only a third full! A small cup is laughable, it’s more like a shot! So ignore the stated 10 large cups of coffee. If you’re drinking from a mug you are talking about just over 4 cups of coffee.
Now to answer the main question. Does this jug keep hot for hours? YES! Amazing! TIP… I rinse out jug with hot tap water before I start brewing to warm up metal. I can go back to this jug 4 hours later and it’s still hot with the same taste! I’ve went back several hours later and it’s not hot but still drinkable warm.
Does this machine have a hot plate? NO…and you don’t want one. A hot plate keeps “cooking” the coffee, which leads to a weird yuk taste after a while. This jug keeps it hot anyway, basically it’s a thermos double walled metal flask.
Tip…all filter machines leak steam at the end of the brewing so either pull machine out/place on counter without cupboards above or pop on a trolley in your kitchen. Otherwise the steam can effect underneath top cupboards. All machines do this, it isn’t a fault.
I LOVE this machine! I’ve spent stupid amounts on machines over the years. I’ve had many Nespresso machines (love the convenience and taste but expensive for the amount we drink). I’ve had a Sage Barista Express (epic to look at, fancy near professional latte art BUT machine developed faults, which you don’t expect for an expensive machine) I NEVER thought id go backwards to a filter machine…EVER! I adore the rich flavours from an espresso shot, I’m a sucker for latte and it’s art. But I’m also aware how the rich rob the poor and I refuse to pay any more “hicked” prices for a machine and it’s superior products when after all its just coffee! We know where it goes. So I’ll enjoy my “luxury” cups when out and take in the atmosphere. But for the home caffeine kick this is all you need. We get sucked into the world of “be a barista” in your own home, blindly manipulated that we must daily be drinking “the best” whilst lining the pockets of the rich.
If you drink a lot of coffee and want it fast throughout the day. Save your penny’s and buy this. A jug…with hot coffee…available for hours! Coffee doesn’t have a plastic taste (which put me off ever buying one again) and if you like it strong then set dial to strong, pick a strong coffee and you’re good to go. Yes it doesn’t have the “solid” feeling to the machine it’s self, it’s plastic. But the jug is solid. You can take your jug to any room, a wee jug of milk and sugar too and not have to go back to your kitchen. Hell, why not bring it with you on your next picnic or long car journey? If you are a Gilmore Girl, then this is for you!
Any reviews mentioning a leaky jug when pouring, please be advised that the company fixed the fault and redesigned the jug. So if it starts leaking, send back…you have the old version.
Hope my words/photo’s or video (if it uploads) are of some help to any potential buyers out there.
Regarding taste.
1. I recommend preheating some water through (+ your empty filter) before making coffee because otherwise you get low temps in the starting drops of about 65 degrees C.
2. The aroma selector LOL. Basically it is a wide shower drip for ‘low aroma’ but narrow central drip for ‘ high aroma’.
So… Not really aroma. If you leave it on Max then you’ll have only a heavy splattering single central drip. Which may mean higher extraction for the central coffee grounds, but not the rest…
I recommend thinking of it as a serving size dial.
If you have 1-4 cups you’ll want a narrower shower drip pattern so you’re not just dropping water widely onto the plastic sides of the filter holder.
If you are making ‘4-12’ cups then your ground coffee is going to take up more of the V shaped filter, so you can add a wider spray by selecting ‘lower’ aroma on the dial, so that all the coffee you’d like can get at least directly hit by some water, that way you’re not under extracting the edge grounds.
If you want… You can preinfuse on a wider shower pattern to moisten the grounds evenly and then reduce the drip pattern a bit to ensure you’re not just watering the sides of the filter holder for the whole time.
It’s not the most finely tuned mechanism… I recommend running the machine just with the whole assembly swung out so that you can see the shower head work at different dual positions, so you can really understand what’s going on. Don’t forget a bowl to catch the water…
I have fun with this machine and the aroma selector I believe is actually very useful, just not necessarily as they advertise. It allows control of brewing but not just straight up and down scale of increasing aroma – that’s misleading.
This coffee machine may cost you more than the regular basic one but it does everything and more. It controls water hardness, it spreads coffee aroma in the kitchen, the timer works beautifully, it looks fancy on the kitchen top and the insulate jug does an outstanding work to keep it worm for longer (without the need to have a hot plate re-warming the coffee and leaving the bitter taste in it). Another good thing about insulate jars is that you can always make the coffee extra hot if you warm it up with boiling water first before brewing the coffee, but dont get me wrong this machine already makes a decent hot coffee.
On a final note I would say, I have bought the “other cheaper brand” and it literally broke in 1 day (!!) and I had to return it. So yes, you know what I am talking about, just spend the extra money for the quality my friend…
Changed to this Melitta when our old Morphy Richards coffee machine broke down after years of daily use. Our old one had a reusable gold washable filter. We bought this one and have been using the Melitta paper bio degradable filters. we thought that would be a nuisance, but no. Actually makes things easier for the composting. BUT WOW! What a difference it makes to the flavour of the coffee! Incredible! We haven’t changed our brand so we know its the machine/filters. Far less grainy and clean tasting. The stainless steel flask keeps the coffee warm for at least 2-3 hours and is easy to rinse out. The filter holder again just needs a quick rinse. Timer and clock easy to use and reset after switching off if you get a power interruption.
Tip, buy some Melitta anti calc as this machine has a built in warning reminder for you to de-calc. Ours alerted after a month. We administered the tablet and flushed it through as instructed to keep the element from scaling up inside and the water clean. Machine not too big. Recommend.
If you were looking for a coffee machine that is simple to use and well thought of, well, you found it.
– Water indication on the front side
– Coffee jug that is insulated and will keep coffee warm for ages
– Swing filter that won’t be obstructed by the jug and is easy to open and close(in contrast to the Russel hobs I had)
– looks good and is not bigger than needed
– JUST the necessary buttons
– Descale helper functions that take into account your water hardness
– Tasty coffee

Really smart filter coffee machine, that also makes a really good cup of coffee!
No pods, so no waste. Machine is only in use whilst brewing the coffee, then keeps warm for a few hours in the insulated jug, so better for the electric bill.
Jug doesn’t spill when pouring, like previous models we’ve had. Stainless steel jug also means it can’t be shattered as has happened in the past.
Swing out coffee granule bin, so not risk of coffee ending up in the water reservoir.
Water can be poured in from both sides of the machine, in a decent side space, so again, not spillages like previous makes of machine.
This is a very good product. Coffee makers with hot plates can only stay warm for 40 minutes. This one has no hot plate, just a very well insulated jug. It keeps the coffee hot for at least two hours. I like plenty of strong coffee, ready for me when I wake up. The timer function works very well, and the coffee tastes great. No plastic taste, and a good strength. I use a permanent filter in it which works well but you can use paper ones if you wish. Looks smart too.
I use this coffe machine in my desk. During these COVID times, having a big jug of coffee (that keeps warm for over 3 hours) this has been my fuel. As my home-office is also my room, setting it 5 minutes before the alarm sounds, allows me to just get up and pour a nice mug of coffee -and waking up to the smell of fresh coffe is unbeatable.
The only thing that could improve is the strenght. I bought the intense filters and set it in the full intensity, but I think I need a little extra -but that’s a personal opinion.
Really good machine, absolutely recommended for everyone.

Looking to replace our 10+ year old coffee machine, only to realise there’s no longer a hotplate that keeps your coffee warm for longer than 30 minutes. However this is an amazing alternative. Gone are the days when we have to pop downstairs to fill up our cup for our next coffee. We just take the thermal coffee pot and a milk jug and enjoy a relaxing morning in bed. The coffee stays piping hot for at least 2 hours. The taste is perfect and the timer is set every weekend. Couldn’t live without it. Great when guests are round too. Can’t fault it. Make this your next purchase.

I have been drinking coffee from a peculator for many decades. This one is the best i have ever had. So many have hot plates that stew the coffee, so that the first cup is great and the rest become bitter the longer they stay on the hot plate. NOT THIS MACHINE. It does not have a hot plate! The coffee pot is built like a thermos flask with two layers, so that the coffee stays hot, like in a thermos flask, for a couple of hours WITHOUT stewing the coffee. To have the great flavour of the coffee from all the coffee in the pot, as hot as the first cup is fantastic. I cannot recommend this coffee machine highly enough, and with NEVER go back to lesser models.
This is the second Melitta coffee maker I have had and this is much improved. The previous jug had a very poor lip on the jug and it was virtually impossible to pour coffee without spilling it. The lip has been improved in shape and now pours without any dripping.
The addition of a Calc control feature is also a great improvement as I live in a very hard water area. One has to buy the Melitta anti Calc tabs but when the button lights up indicating it needs treatment it is easy to do, takes very little time and is a great improvement.
I thoroughly recommend this coffee maker.
So much better than expected. Easy to use and great value for money. Makes great coffee, just rinse out the pot after use and it will season the pot over time to enhance the rich coffee flavour. The timer is great if you want to wake up to the smell of a fresh brewed coffee. I didn’t find the intensity selector made any difference to the flavour. I purchased the fine mesh filter and this saves purchasing filter papers. I’ve just purchased two more as presents, one for my son, home from London on a visit, to take back with him and one for a friend as a house warming present.
Absolutely great. I had a Ninja coffee bar but there were so many issues with it i.e. clean light on two or 3 times a week despite being cleaned many times. Company told us light was faulty but as it was out of warranty they could do nothing. The coffee in the Ninja was good but the price is around 150 so after some research we settled on this little beauty. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised at the quality of the Melitta. It is sturdy and makes wonderful coffee. I dont like weak coffee and this really ticks all the boxes. It does not drip as my more expensive Ninja did and the flavour is superb. So got a perfect machine thst makes great coffee for 100 less than the Ninja. Total win -win situation and we couldn’t be more pleased.
