About this deal

But that will be enough for a lot of people, and means it is capable of producing a much better cup of coffee than a mug of instant.

As this is sold as a fully automatic coffee maker, there are high hopes from users about the ease of use with the espresso making process. There are plenty of options here to ensure that users get the type of drink that they want, such as the height adjustable spout, the adjustable temperature and the adjustable brew strength. Even so, it is designed to be easy to use with the simple controls and component. The ‘Perfect’ stands for an automatic cappuccinatore, which has been added for those wanting to froth milk. While, technically, there’s nothing wrong with an addition like this, it does drive the price up and ruin the Melitta Caffeo Solo’s unique niche as a milk-free espresso machine. Summary: what do these issues mean for the final verdict on this Melitta Caffeo Solo Bean To Cup Coffee Maker? Most people will naturally think automatic is the obvious choice, but it is not that simple. Automatic does offer convenience, but the manually textured milk offers better quality. I also like the fact that the coffee machine can only hold 125 grams (4.4 ounces) of coffee beans at a time.So, if you happen to come across a Melitta Caffeo Solo at a good price in a factory outlet, for example, it’s just as good today as when it first launched. Just keep in perspective that the Melitta Purista really does deliver better results. Though I’m sure we’ll be saying similar things about the Purista’ss successor when it hits the market as well.

One thing that some people may have to get used to is how there’s no need to make settings adjustments with each use. Once you programme in your desired parameters, the coffee machine will brew coffee and espresso using these exact settings until you change them. The whole process is shown on a narrow, minimalistic display, and the menu and display leave no room for doubt about the meaning of any symbols. You can adjust the Melitta Caffeo Solo in just a few presses of a button, even if you have never seen a fully automatic coffee machine up close. This is the steam wand option. This is one I would choose as you have control over the whole texturing process. When I look at the volume of comments that appear under a review, it’s a pretty good indication to me of whether you are really interested in a machine or not. Still, we have to look at the Solo next to its successor, the Melitta Purista, which is why I believe this Melitta Caffeo Solo review deserves a proper update!Like any good quality bean to cup coffee machine, the Caffeo Solo comes with an integrated stainless steel burr grinder. However unlike other machines you only have 3 options when it comes to deciding how fine or coarse you would like your beans ground. Most machines offer 13-18 different grind settings. These are Melitta’s entry level options (price wise), but they are still suitable for most homes, in fact under the bonnet a lot of the technology is the same as the more expensive Melitta Coffee machines. Espresso brewing Unfortunately, this way of thinking is misguided, as we must never forget that a fully automatic coffee machine and a filter coffee machine have two completely different preparation principles.
