About this deal

Upon activating the 0 watt switch, the Melitta SOLO ®disconnects from the mains. And of course, your personal settings are kept. This on/off feature is also programmable and the appliance can be set to disconnect from the mains at the desired time automatically.

That said, the Solo’s variations of 87, 90 and 93 degrees Celsius (187, 194 and 199 degrees Fahrenheit) for coffee and espresso are completely ridiculous anyway. This issue has been corrected in the Purista, in my opinion. I find that the Purista’s coffees are even a tad bit hotter and have fuller body. Since the Solo is delightfully quality-loving in this respect, I really should stop my grumbling. Just know that the Melitta Purista brews coffee and espresso even better. Even a layman can taste the difference.You’ll need to follow the instructions in the manual to set the water hardness level of your machine, using the provided test strip: this changes the reminder time between descaling. Melitta Caffeo Solo & Perfect Milk – Espresso quality For those that don’t fancy mastering the art of milk frothing, then the best option for you will be the “& Perfect Milk” model. This comes with the companies “cappuccinatore” or milk foaming system. For occasional use, the system is alright, but at this price Melitta might have been better going for a traditional steamer wand, letting the user steam milk in a jug. The left-hand knob regulates the amount of coffee brewed, ranging from between 30 milliliters and 220 milliliters (1 ounce and 7.43 ounces), while the right-hand knob is the power switch. In between, there are buttons for single-cup brewing, double-cup brewing and to set the strength of coffee to be brewed. Café Crème. И за двете можете да изберете както количеството вода (между 30 и 220бмл), но и интензивността на кафето в зависимост от вида кафе, на който искате да се насладите.

With slightly weak espresso and over-excited milk frothing, the quality of the drink isn’t as good as I’d hoped.

To make sure everything is clear, the display uses bean symbols and scales that even complete beginners could understand. Even though the size of the display is fine for most, some of you might want to fetch your readers first thing in the morning. The Scope of Delivery, Spout Height & Bean Hopper That’s why the Melitta Caffeo Solo is perfect for individuals who live alone or who simply don’t need the luxury of frothed milk. Melitta Caffeo Solo are a respected manufacturer and have a great build qaulity, so they require little maintenance on your part. Although they don’t supply one, they are compatible with “Claris water filters” and I would strongly urge you to use one to limit limescale build up. While Melitta recommends cleaning the brew group once a week, I recommend daily cleanings. It doesn’t take long to rinse it under running water, and doing so will prolong the life of the machine. This model doesn’t have a ground coffee chute, although this isn’t a huge problem: you’re far better off buying whole beans (see How to choose the best coffee beans) and letting the Melitta Caffeo Solo & Perfect Milk take care of grinding.The Melitta Caffeo Solo & Perfect Milk doesn’t ship with a water filter, although you can fit one into the water tank – I recommend it, since it will make the coffee taste better and reduce limescale build-up in the machine. Don’t skip over this step when choosing which machine is best for you. Yeah, it is not as exciting as looking at the technology, and dreaming about the coffees you could be making. But it is a vital part of owning any bean to cup machine. Everyone is different and everyone has slightly different preferences when it comes to how they like their coffee to taste. The Melitta Caffeo Solo has you all covered, with its range of customisation options. Bean Grinding The bean hopper holds 125gram of coffee beans, although I always advise to not fill it up, maybe half is enough. You can then keep the rest of the beans sealed in an airtight container to preserve their freshness. Extraction process The Melitta Caffeo Solo has three settings to choose from, this is less again than other bean to cup coffee machines. 3 grind options X 3 strength options means you have 9 possible settings. When you think the Sage Barista Express has a possible 180 different combinations, you can see this is not the most customisable machine.

To make milk drinks you first have to make espresso before moving the coffee beneath the Cappuccinatore. There’s no setting to control the amount of froth or the temperature. 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. Melitta Caffeo Solo, е лесна за изваждане и почистване. Всичко, което трябва да направите, е да я издърпате към себе си и да изпразнете контейнера, в който се събират остатъците от кафето. Излейте насъбрала се в тавичката течност, изплакнете съда и го поставете обратно. Всичко в няколко прости стъпки.

However, in my research for this update, I’ve gotten the feeling that the Purista is probably not quite as popular as I once thought. That and how the cheaper Melitta Caffeo Solo is still being ‘pushed’, even though it’s a discontinued model.
