Product Information

The Melitta Caffeo Solo delivered that so favourably from the start that it even undercut my test winner in the entry-level class.

Whether you like your coffee strong or mild, espresso or cappuccino, this will deliver what you want whenever you want it. The Melitta Caffeo Solo has three settings to choose from, this is less again than other bean to cup coffee machines. Like any good quality bean to cup coffee machine, the Caffeo Solo comes with an integrated stainless steel burr grinder. In addition to being able to determine the temperature of the system, users can use a two cup systems for two drinks at once, and ensure that it shuts down by itself when not it use. It doesn’t take long to rinse it under running water, and doing so will prolong the life of the machine.

Whilst this is a lot simpler than doing it yourself, I personally think the quality of foam it makes is not as good as what even a novice barista could achieve. Flavour is king, and whilst the Melitta Solo (previously known as Caffeo Solo) certainly won’t disappoint on that count, it also won’t keep you waiting when you want your next cup of delicious coffee. Optimised for use in making either espresso or cappuccino, the simple controls allow the user to select from three different strengths. While a lot of coffee nerds scoff at my choice, I'm a big fan of Delonghi's machines and have an Eletta in my kitchen at home.

More flavour with pre-brewing: The freshly ground coffee is moistened with water before the actual brewing process. The app includes tips and tricks for delicious moments of coffee enjoyment as well as numerous service features. With its ability to accept coffee beans as input, it offers users the flexibility to grind their own beans for a fresher taste.So, of course, the question remains as to whether the Melitta Caffeo Solo could replace your classic filter coffee machine? In other words, the Melitta Caffeo Solo and a modern Moccamaster cannot effectively replace one another.

On top of that, the Melitta Caffeo Solo uses the same high-quality technology in the brew group, without any added costs, that you will find in older and posher versions of Melitta fully automatic coffee machines.But not as good as a manual process, but this problem is not just with Melitta, most automated systems fall short in this regard.

up for discussion, then, of course, you get a ‘complete’ machine there, but you have to live with somewhat of lower coffee quality. The app also gives you help with understanding the functional status of your coffee machine with the aid of the diagnostic tool. It’s a company that believes in functionality and innovation, and one that actually invented the coffee filter. However, you would then have to use an external kettle to get your hot water because, understandably, there’s no hot water nozzle on the Solo.Using these settings, if you find the taste less than sensational, I recommend you recalibrate to brew two espressos of 20-25 milliliters (0.
