Third-party reviews

What we like about Melitta Aroma Elegance Therm DeLuxe 1012-06

  • Excellent flavor extraction thanks to Aroma Premium shower system and Aroma Control for small quantities
  • Removable water tank makes filling and cleaning highly convenient
  • Unbreakable double-walled stainless steel thermal insulated jug
  • Helpful built-in programmable timer with a clear LED display
  • Easy maintenance with automatic descaling alerts and dishwasher-safe removable filter holder
  • Fast and quiet brewing performance backed by a 5-year manufacturer warranty

What we don't like about Melitta Aroma Elegance Therm DeLuxe 1012-06

  • Higher price tag compared to standard basic drip coffee makers
  • The physical footprint is relatively bulky and takes up significant kitchen counter space
  • Isolated complaints regarding initial water dispensing before reaching full temperature
  • A few users note the thermal jug does not keep coffee piping hot for as long as expected

Verdict

The Melitta Aroma Elegance Therm DeLuxe 1012-06 is an 1800-watt premium drip coffee machine equipped with a 1.25-liter removable water tank, compatible with 1x4 size filters to brew 10 to 15 cups. Key characteristics include Aroma Premium and Aroma Control technologies for optimal extraction even with small quantities, an LED display with a programmable timer, a 3-in-1 limescale protection program, and an automatic shut-off feature. Its main pros are the double-walled, shatterproof stainless steel insulated thermal jug that keeps coffee hot for hours without a warming plate, an easy-to-fill detachable reservoir, and a fast brewing speed backed by a 5-year guarantee. However, notable cons include its relatively premium price point compared to entry-level brewers, its bulky footprint, and occasional user complaints regarding minor temperature variations if small batches are brewed without utilizing the specialized aroma modes.
