I selected this Melitta brewer after having owned a DiLongi for a little over a year. I loved that machine, but it began to leak water all over my counter before the timer started the brewing action. I went to Amazon to look for another and found their reviews about that brand complained of the same problem. So I began searching other coffee makers and read their reviews. I was so very disappointed that most all makers do not last very long. Honestly you'd think in this day and age companies wouldn't make them so poorly that they end up in a landfill somewhere. Enter the MELITTA! The reviews of this machine were WONDERFUL! I did not hesitate but ordered mine right away and got a great price through Amazon, my new "go-to" shopping place. I have to say I LOVE- LOVE- LOVE this machine. The timer is easy to set so my husband has fresh coffee before work. The pouring pot has an extra piece across the spout so the coffee is not spilled when poured (big plus since my hubby used to drool drops everywhere when pouring his cup). I love the fact you have 3 choices of strength for the coffee (mild, medium, bold). It is easy to clean, wonderful to look at, brews GREAT coffee and I wouldn't trade it for any other brand.

I spent some time doing research on coffee brewers and finally made it to this machine. I looked at several machines, but for one reason or another, I moved on. I also looked at Bunn. They have good machines, but they are in the market to produce fast coffee. I was looking for good coffee so I moved on.With Melitta, you can control the temperature of the plate under the pot. There are three settings and it does have a temperature sensor to monitor it on the bottom plate. Next, there are three settings for the brew of the coffee. It is the speed at which the water goes thru the machine into the grounds: Regular (fast), Bold (mid) and robust (slow). I can't really seem to tell the difference in flavor but I like to use different coffee beans and it just gets set to Robust. To me it seems that the coffee is not as bitter as my last machine, a Mr. Coffee, and thinking there might be something to do with the cone or funnel design. Then I decided to buy a gold filter. Melitta doesn't sell one for this machine. Take the basket to the store and see what gold filter fits. I ended up with a Cuisinart gold filter. After all this I do like the machine and the controls it has, I have choises. But I've also read, learn your machine for a good cup of coffee.

We have gone through several coffee makers recently because of one problem or another not because they wear out. My wife insists on a Thermal Carafe which has its own limitations. So for this purchase I read a lot of descriptions and reviews. For reference we have 4 coffee drinkers in the house one of us is a computer guy who uses a lot of "programming fluid" in a working day. We like our coffee hot and strong and start with a mixture of medium roast and dark roast whole beans. We normally use paper filters. While the reusable sieves produce a slightly better brew, the clean up is not as convenient.We've had this model for about a month.Pros:* Produces excellent tasting coffee.* Cone filters produce stronger better tasting coffee with less grounds than the flat bottom style.* Multiple brewing speeds is also a plus with the robust setting our preferred almost always.* The carafe is the best I've seen. Unlike all the others it does not leak.* The initial carafe heat is a big plus. Finally hot coffee without preheating the carafe.Cons:* The swing out filter holder is not removable. There is an inner holder which is removable and good enough for normal cleaning. BUT if you spill some grounds and it gets outside of the inner core the best method I've found is to unplug the pot and carefully rinse out this section in the sink without getting the rest of it wet. If I'm too bleary eyed in the morning to make coffee properly, I'm not in the mood for this procedure.* It's big. Not as big as some, and I won't argue with Melitta engineers but I wish they could have squished it somehow.* Even with the preheater the carafe quickly cools to less than optimal temperature. A bit of zapping in the microwave is all it takes and you do not end up with the bitter burnt taste of hot plate pitchers but it is still advantageous to use a preheated Thermos for the pot you want to last for hours.Bottom line is that I love it and as long as it lasts for at least a couple of years, I'll buy another when we wear it out.
