5.0 out of 5 stars Mostly awesome

Firstly, this machine makes a fabulous cup of coffee, latte, cappuccino or plain black or white.My trusty De’Longhi (over 10 years old) went bang so it was time for a new machine. Hard to choose a different maker but I’m glad I did.It’s beautifully made - solid and good looking.The setup is pretty simple and is just about fully explained in the first time setup in the manual.The setting to make it as hot as possible works well as I like my coffee really hot.It also takes the standard water filters (which improves the flavour) and they are cheap enough as long as you don’t but the ‘branded’ versions - so then you don’t have to faff around with the frequent descaling if you don’t use the filters (it also makes setting the water hardness a redundant feature).Some people are moaning about the endless cleaning cycles- don’t listen to them- it’s no more intense than my de’longhi was after each drink, just different- and I don’t mind at all.You can adjust the quantity and strength easily ‘on the fly’ which is nice as you don’t always have the same mugs/cups etc. the only drawback is that the ‘Costa’ sized latte glasses don’t fit under, nor the slightly smaller versions - but that’s no different to my old machine - so we’re now using mugs - but that’s ok as they actually take the same volume of liquid.I was cautious about not having a milk carafe, but actually it’s so much more sensible just having a tube and wand (purchased separately but absolutely necessary). You just drop the wand into your milk bottle- simples! No mess, no space taken up in your fridge. The clean cycle after making a milk based coffee does require dropping the wand into a receptacle with water - so I just have an old milk bottle filled with water stashed behind the machine for that. Again, you had to run a clean cycle on my old machine- so no difference there.It is quite quiet- maybe not whisper quiet as stated.It also makes 2 coffees/lattes at once - that’s really neat.All in all - very impressed so far.

Update 2: 3 years since I got this machine and if I ever have to buy another machine I will get the same one!!! To this day I had a lot of people who complimented the coffee I served them and some of them even went and bought the same machine after they tasted the coffee it does! Money well spent!Update: Almost a year now since using it. Still very happy with my purchase. No issue with the machine, cleaning and descaling whenever it asks for, which seems almost every 2 months or so.I can see it got a bit more expensive since we bought it, however I still don’t think you can get better coffee at home with another BTC machine at this price point.Original: Very impressed with this machine so far after a few days. This is our second BTC machine, as we previously had a Delonghi Magnifica S that died after 10 months. Comparing the 2 machines, the Melitta makes much better coffee and it’s a whole lot quieter.A great feature that nobody seems to mention is that the 2x cup function actually grinds and brews two separate shots, instead of just pouring more water through a bit more coffee. (yes, not the same thing)I like black coffee, however the missus enjoys her cappucino or latte. She mentioned that she feels like drinking a cappucino from a normal coffee shop.The only 2 small complaints I might have are:1. The nozzles don’t go up high enough, so if you have a tall latte glass it does not fit.2. While the machine is not very wide, only 20cms, the depth is quite large at about 46cm, so it won’t fit on every sideboard cabinet.As we use the machine for about 6 coffees per day on average, I will revert with an additional update after a few month of use.

This is a nice bean to cup coffee machine that is a lot quieter than many others. You can have a normal conversation while it's grinding etc without having to raise your voice. Of course it's not going to be perfectly silent, but it's a lot quieter than other bean to cup coffee machines. This is one of the reasons why I purchased it.Making milk based coffee is very easy, but I highly suggest that you get the milk lance (sold separately).You should also order some cleaning tablets and milk cleaner solution (you don't need to use them right away - you can make many coffees before you should start using them). Very simple to maintain - and I'm sure if you follow the correct maintenance schedules then this machine will last for thousands of coffees!The coffee tastes absolutely fantastic from this as well. I have used many bean to cup coffee machines and this one is simple to use and makes lovely coffee. Of course a lot of it depends on the beans you buy, BUT you can get away with using supermarket beans and still get a lovely coffee.It's also a nice compact size and shouldn't take up too much space on your counter top.There are some complaints about how much water it uses, but this is normal in a bean to cup machine. It pre-heats/rinses when you turn it on, and it rinses after you've made a coffee. I would be worried if it didn't do these things!A few minor complaints:1 - The drip tray gets full very quickly and it doesn't have a proper sensor (i.e. the machine can't tell you when it's actually full and needs emptying, it estimates it based on how much water has been used to rinse the machine etc). Not a problem though as I just go by when the red dot is being pushed up and empty it then.2 - The water tank can sometimes be a bit tricky to get to as it's at the back of the machine. I would've preferred it to be at the front so you could easily pull it out and refill. It's still easy to fill though (I just use a jug and pour water in) BUT bear in mind that if you plan to put this under a cabinet then you may not have room to either get a jug there or take the water tank out to fill it.3 - For the price of the machine I think that Melitta could have been a bit more generous and included the milk lance and some cleaning tablets / solution as a starter pack.Overall though it's a brilliant machine. Very simple to use and makes fantastic coffee (whether that is espresso, a regular coffee, latte or cappuccino).Highly recommended.

Qualité du café au top

Tolles Gerät

Sehr guter Vollautomat. Bin Neueinsteiger und war sehr gespannt. Der Kaffee schmeckt mir hervorragend und ist sehr! heiß. Ebenso der Espresso. Nach jeder Herstellung von Latte Macchiato muss der Milchschlauch gereinigt werden. Das kostet etwas Zeit und einiges an Wasser.Bin aber sehr zufrieden und kann das Gerät nur weiterempfehlen , zumal es recht schmal ist und dadurch nicht viel Platz benötigt

Good coffee
