Price
All in all if you are considering a coffee machine this will not disappoint, and if you are a coffee lover, in the long run it’s cheaper!
Overall very pleased and although expensive nothing like the most expensive.
I registered on the melitta website as they sell 'refurbished' machines on there for nearly half the price of the stainless steel version.
So all in all you're really paying £250 or so more for a machine that looks a bit prettier and does a whole load of things that... Read More

I’m not some coffee expert and i don’t really require all the in depth analysis that you’ll find on the youtube videos but i’ll provide some information that i’ve received on this product
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Initially i was going to return this machine as the milk based drinks are lukewarm
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
You will see videos on the internet showing the high brewing temperature for coffee and water at around 90deg and nothing for the milk
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
All of that information is incorrect
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I made a milk drink when i first received the item and it was lukewarm at best my initial reaction was that the machine was faulty
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I contacted the melitta support and they were very helpful they told me the correct temp values from memory the coffee on the high brew temperature and hot water should leave the machine at 82deg the milk is 53deg
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
There is also an acceptable tolerance of 5deg so the machine will be deemed to be working correctly if the milk produced is 48deg
