Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Just the basics, in basic high-gloss black, the Salton 10-cup Melitta filter coffeemaker is simplicity itself. There is one switch with two settings: on and off. The 6-by-9-by-12-inch size takes up very little counter space, yet delivers a big cup of coffee. The Melitta cone filter design concentrates the flow of water over the coffee for a fuller flavor and aroma, and for those who just can't wait, the Pause 'n' Serve function lets you steal a cup of coffee midbrew. --Schuyler Ingle

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Brewed Coffee, June 16, 2000

The Melitta coffee brewing system simply out performs any of its competitors. I've used most other brands and find the consistency of the brewed cup to be better with the Melitta. The off centered filtration whole and the variable brewing-to-maintaining heat is a feature that is hard to beat.

This is a great, well-priced coffeemaker but realize that it falls in the most basic category of coffeemakers. There is an on/off switch on the bottom and that's about it. It doesn't have a clock and you won't be able to set this thing to come on at 6am to get the smells to help wake you up. However, the trade-off is an appliance very easy to learn and great for first time coffee brewers such as myself. Pour the water in the back, toss the coffee in the filter and it's brewin' time. The cone filter easily removes for cleaning and removing the coffee grinds.

This product will help you out if counter space is an issue for you because it is very compact and has a storable power cord that can go in and out of the machine. It's light for moving around. It uses #4 cone coffee filters. I recommend the Melitta unparched filters for best taste.

If you've been brewing coffee for awhile, I might not suggest this product as it would be a "downgrade" for you. However, if it's a reasonably priced, no-nonsense appliance you want as a second appliance for your home or office, or as a first time coffee brewer, look no further.

I'll be short. If you're simply looking for a good cup of coffee and you're not concerned about timer's brewing cycles and other features found in other brands this is your coffee maker.

To give you an example I accidently ordered a more expensive Krups at the same time that I ordered this one. So my wife and I decided to try both and send back the one that didn't perform as well.

To my surpise the Melitta made a much better cup of coffee. The coffee was hotter, richer, more flavorful, I mean you could really taste the aspects of the coffee bean better. Don't get me wrong the Krups was good and had more features but I'm all about the taste of my coffee.

Definitely a good buy at a good price I couldn't be happier
