Melitta Caffeo Solo Silver Stripes

We've had this Melitta Caffeo Solo for a week now; Of course I can't say much about the long term, but bought this coffee machine to replace our Bosch Espresso machine, which was now 7 1/2 years old and got cures, flooding, a lot of junk in the machine. Really time for a replacement. I was looking for a replacement without all the fuss anyway, so no milk frother, or hot water tap for tea, you can put that with a kettle. This Caffeo Solo can indeed only make coffee. And very simply, one button for one cup, the other button for two cups at the same time, that's all. To be fair, two cups at a time take just as long as brewing one cup twice, only if you choose two cups they are ready at the same time. The first time, choose the amount of water and the strength (1, 2 or 3 beans), set how long the device stays on after use and you don't have to worry about it. This is the solution for people who only want good coffee, and who don't have to put a full pot every time, but every cup fresh. As mentioned, we've only had the machine for a week, so I can't say anything about maintenance, cleaning and descaling yet. I know, if I pay attention to the experience I have with the Bosch, which is now cozy in the shed, and looking out the window idly, do not underestimate the maintenance, it will certainly save you a number of years of enjoyment from your Melitta Caffeo (Solo). In short and in conclusion: For the coffee lover who just wants a Dutch “cup of coffee”, this is a great investment. Of course I will adjust this review over time with regard to cleaning and maintaining the device.

We like the device very much. The taste of the coffee, strength, temperature and quantity can be easily controlled. Every cup is freshly brewed and you can taste it! The operation is easy and once set up properly, you don't have to worry about it anymore. Cleaning / keeping the device clean is simple. We are very satisfied we should have had this sooner.

Melitta Caffeo Solo is a beautiful, compact and easy to operate and maintain appliance. Very suitable for small kitchens and cooking corners and for small households where coffee is not normally drunk in large quantities. The use of prescribed cleaning agents is recommended. With careful maintenance (have the brew group checked by an expert with some regularity! ), the device will last for years, our first copy almost 10 years. That's why I bought the successor without hesitation
