2.0 out of 5 stars
Nice design, but died young, April 21, 2005
This review is from: Melitta ME10TDS 10-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker with Stainless-Steel Thermal Carafe (Kitchen)
The Melitta is a clean-design unit whose carafe does indeed keep coffee hot and drinkable for hours. As others have noted, however, there may be a problem with the relay or sensor that controls water intake to the heating tank. Our machine exhibited signs of brain damage about 15 months into its service life, despite manufacturere-specified cleaning and no abuse. It won't take up the full water supply. Since I can go back to using a reliable Braun unit and simply pour the brew into a separate thermal carafe, I do not plan to make a repeat purchase of the Salton-built Melitta machine.

DON'T BUY IT !, April 22, 2005
This review is from: Melitta ME10TDS 10-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker with Stainless-Steel Thermal Carafe (Kitchen)
I wish I had read these reviews before I bought this coffee maker. I'm shocked that so many people have had the SAME problem that we had with it! It turned off each time it brewed 2 cups so we had to keep turning it back on. The coffee didn't stay hot either. It sounds like the company needs to take it off the market.

Not Good, September 24, 2005
This review is from: Melitta ME10TDS 10-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker with Stainless-Steel Thermal Carafe (Kitchen)
When we purchased this item, we were paying a premium for the look. In summary:
1. The appearance was great, but that is the only positive with this unit.
2. Like the other reviews, this unit constantly shut on and off while brewing
3. We were not looking for an Espresso-like experience, but we felt the coffee was very watery.
4. The coffee poured extremely slow!! This might seem like a minor nuisance, but it was highly annoying.
5. Finally, after 6 months, it just died.
So, poor coffee, poor reliability, not user friendly, poor durability. If there was a "0 Rating," that is the one I would have selected. It is too bad, as it is really an attractive unit and we would have compromised on a few of the deficiencies.
