Melitta Optima Timer, 100801, Filter Coffee Machine with Glass Jug, Timer and Programmable Warmer, White

I have a bean to cup espresso machine that I use for making latte's and Americano's.The thing is that on a nice lazy Sunday morning, I really enjoy the smoother, more mellow nature of filter coffee, and it's nice to have several mugs of it on tap.The build quality is great, the software is easy to use and it's easy to keep clean.As for the coffee making (the bit that actually matters!) it's perfect at this price point. It brews nice and slowly, not rushing the water through the grounds, it uses traditional paper filters rather than a permanent filter (which means the coffee tastes better as it's a fresh filter each time) and the coffee is piping hot.The timer is adjustable for the heating element, and the wake up feature works great to have a pot of steaming coffee sitting waiting for you in the morning.It should be noted, as mentioned in some of the other reviews, the jug is somewhat smaller than some other machines, it holds about 3 and a half 'mugs' of brew, which is a lot less than the 8 indicated on the water reservoir. As long as that is not an issue for you, you will be very happy with this great machine.

Most importantly this makes a good cup of coffee - hot, and well brewed.It makes about 4 standard UK size mugs, so perfectly adequate for most day to day use, and as it's quite quick, brewing a second pot won't take so long to be a problem if you're entertaining/watering a larger crowd (or just give them cups instead!!!).I waited a while for this to come back in to stock, as I wanted to replace my old Delonghi timer filter coffee maker with one of comparable quality, and equally aesthetically pleasing - afterall , these things tend to stay out on the worktop. I'm really glad I did wait, as it's a well designed, simple machine, with some great, and unique features.The water-hardness/anti-calc setting may seem a little twee, however any coffee drinker knows how much this can affect the flavour of your coffee, let alone the performance and longevity of the appliance itself. Melitta pack a test strip in with the instructions so you can accurately test the hardness of your water, and adjust the machine accordingly, and then, it alerts you when a cleaning cycle is due (which is also a simple procedure).The timer function is great for anyone who can't function without a sip of coffee! Waking up to freshly brewed coffee (and freshly baked bread (oh, Panasonic bread-maker, how I love you too)), is a very nice thing indeed.Filter coffee is so much cheaper than capsule systems, and you can get a decent size cup from just a couple of scoops of coffee and a paper filter, so much more economical, and a lot less fiddly!And lastly, it's a really tidy and compact, well made appliance.

Looks good, works well. This model is unusual in having an adjustable timer to keep coffee warm for up to 2 hours. Most coffee machines only keep coffee warm for 30 minutes. We find this extra time very useful but coffee loses some of its flavour eventually.Note that the jug on this model is quite small with a capacity of one litre, enough for 4 mugs.

We've been using the Melitta Optima Timer for three weeks now. We bought it to replace a £500 Krups Bean to Coffee machine we have. The Meliitta is very simple to use, and makes delicious coffee. The timer facility is simple and fantastic - wake up to a jug of hot fresh filter coffee. The hot plate will keep the coffee hot for 2 hours before switching off.For £50 there is no longer the need to rinse out that cafetiere and cleaning all those coffee granules out of your sink.

Thank goodness for this machine - it stays on for 2 hours when you change the default settings. This is very easy to do and it stays on that setting regardless of powering on or off. Now I can enjoy a leisurely weekend morning without my coffee going cold. This is the only machine I could find with the option to extend the keep warm to a decent length of time. It's a bonus that it is quiet, nice to look at, well put together and easy to pour water into the detachable container.

I have bought this coffee machine one year ago. Unfortunately, after one year the coffee machine stopped working completely. It is quite worrying that after only one year the machine should pack up. It is also impossible to contact the seller to explain the matter ! It is a great pity! How can I obtain a refund or a replacement of another reliable coffee machine?Please advise!

I love it. I have a very early start so love the timer. It looks good and makes great coffee.

Purchased this coffee machine in August 2018, used it to brew 1-2 pots of coffee daily. Looks good on the countertop, timer works well, despite white colour easier than most to keep clean (the only small corners and ridges for dirt to accumulate are behind the coffee pot and filter) with a proper wipe down every other day more than sufficient. Temperature of the coffee is great (everyone in my family drink their filter coffee black or with only very little milk and nobody’s complained). Capacity could be better (realistically this is only good to serve four average coffee mugs) but you cannot have everything. In fact this machine was on route to get a 5-star review until it just stopped working today. Almost on the day 10 months it just stopped: Lights are on but nothings brewing. Exceptionally disappointing for such a reputable brand.

Il serbatoio acqua si stacca ed e' molto facile da pulire, la macchina si scalda velocemente e con i filtri Melutta il caffe' e' al top! Rimane caldo a lungo e il timer e' comodissimo.Melitta non delude mai, uso le caffettiere da anni e sono soddisfatta.

Ottimo prodotto,caffè molto buono,già conoscevo la marca quindi sono andata un po’ sul sicuro,consegnato addirittura in anticipo,in due giorni anziché tre.Molto soddisfatta!

Avant d'investir dans cette cafetière, j'ai cherché 3 semaines sur tous les sites imaginables, et aussi via leguide.com !En effet, j'avais une Cafetière Kenwood CM70 blanche. Elle me convenait par sa capacité (0,5 litre, soit 6 tasses moyennes), car je ne veux pas d'un monstre sur mon plan de travail !On est 2 à boire 1 grand mug de café uniquement le matin, et mon appart' n'est pas conçu pour organiser des repas de 25 personnes, donc nul besoin d'une cafetière 25 tasses à 1,8 litre !!Et pourtant, les fabricants de cafetières-filtre continuent de penser le contraire... Donc ce fût vraiment la galère de trouver une cafetière aussi bien que les modèles "25 tasses" mais avec une contenance plus modeste... Initialement, je voulais changer ma Kenwood pour une programmable. Au bout de presque 3 semaines, j'étais en train d'abdiquer, vu que je n'en avais trouvé aucune qui corresponde à mes critères somme toute, assez banals :- programmable, max 1 litre, jolie & design (pas mastok),- le système anti-goutte est un vrai +,- le sélecteur d'arôme est un vrai gadget au long cours je trouve, car à soi de faire des essais pour trouver la force qu'on préfère, et ensuite au long cours, on n'y touche plus à ce bitogno !- de préférence le timer pas situé sous la verseuse, afin de le protéger des coulures de café brûlant éventuelles,- pas à un prix de maboul (genre 150 € comme j'ai souvent vu, ici et là),- porte-filtre amovible (indispensable pour pouvoir le rincer sous le robinet !),- graduation du réservoir d'eau bien visible sans se tordre le cou et sans loupe ! (j'avais rajouté un coup de marqueur noir sur les graduations de ma Kenwood, fabricant qui avait trouvé judicieux de se la jouer "ton sur ton" !!). Voilà pour les critères.Et puis totalement par hasard, alors que je cherchais du bon café moulu bio sur la Toile, j'ai rencontré cette cafetière Mellita !!! (qui est vendue par 2 commerçants seulement, sur l'internet !). J'ai lu, en mode-hallucinée-yeux-en-spirale-kom-dans-les-cartoons-!, le descriptif complet de la fiche-produit, sur les 2 sites. L'autre site propose un test-produit, très instructif.J'en ai parlé à mon ami, et j'ai enclenché l'achat de cette cafetière Melitta, toute contente.***** Après 2 semaines d'usage, voici le retour en détails de mon constant enchantement :Je suis très ok avec les 2 commentaires précédents pour cette cafetière. Je vais tenter de ne pas répéter !- le réservoir d'eau amovible (et facilement !) est un vrai + à l'usage, c + pratique de verser proprement depuis ma carafe Brita, sans en mettre partout !- réglage de la dureté de l'eau : ça optimise direct la qualité du café produit (pas besoin d'un bouton sélecteur d'arôme, la machine gère !)- excellente surprise : j'ai choisi le modèle blanc, mais même si ce détail n'est pas indiqué dans la fiche-produit, Melitta a eu la bonne idée de fabriquer tous les porte-filtre en noir, ainsi le café ne colore pas, peu à peu au fil du temps, le blanc immaculé originel du porte-filtre !- la couleur 'blanc' est en fait un blanc cassé très léger : mon frigo est vraiment blanc, pas ma cafetière Melitta. Je trouve cette nuance très stylée.- Perso, je n'ai pas l'intention d'utiliser la fonction détartrage proposée, car j'ai installé dans le réservoir d'eau un puissant anti-calcaire, et sur ma Kenwood gardée 3 ans, je n'ai jamais constaté de dépôt de calcaire, où que ce soit dans la cafetière. Ca m'arrange vu que le produit anti-calcaire est un irritant qui nécessite de grands rinçages, on ne peut pas dire que ce soit écolo ! Mais pour les gens que ça intéresse, ben cette Melitta propose aussi cette fonction !- ma Kenwood glougloutait au passage du café, mais le café obtenu ne se propageait pas dans l'appartement. La cafetière Melitta produit l'effet inverse : le passage du café se prépare à notre insu, mais la bonne odeur du café sort mon ami du sommeil, tellement ça sent bon dans l'appart' (alors que la cuisine est pourtant à l'opposé de la chambre !).- cette cafetière ne m'a pas coûté les yeux de la tête !!Bref, moi qui pensais naïvement que les marques de petit-électroménager classiques (Seb, Moulinex, etc.) étaient capables de proposer des modèles pour tous les goûts, je me suis bien plantée !En revanche, on connaît tous la renommée des filtres à café Melitta. Bah, cette marque est également experte en cafetières de qualité, à un prix très raisonnable. QUELLE BONNE SURPRISE ;-))))

Teslimat'ın hızlı olması sebebiyle teşekkür ederim. Ürün için tam bir fiyat performans ürünü diyebilirim. Özellikle kahve demlendikten sonra sıcak kahve içemeyenler için tavsiye edilebilir. Kullanılan plastik malzeme kalitesi iyi. plastik kokusu alınmıyor, Kahve sürahisi çok çık ve kaliteli. Ürün için tek eksik diyebileceğim kahve demlemesi tamamlandığında sesli uyarı yapmıyor.

Dopo 10 mesi da buttare. La piastra di riscaldamento non si scalda più e l'acqua non scorre più.
