What we like about Melitta AromaFresh Therm Pro X

  • The integrated grinder grinds beans at the press of a button.
  • 11 grind settings let you adjust the grind.
  • The insulated carafe keeps coffee hot without a warming plate.
  • The removable water tank can be filled away from the machine.
  • Automatic cleaning and a cleaning reminder make upkeep easier.
  • The display walks you through the settings.

What we don't like about Melitta AromaFresh Therm Pro X

  • The grinder is noisy while it works.
  • At 3.96 kg it is heavy to move around the counter.
  • There is no warming plate, so coffee depends on the insulated carafe.
  • The water tank is awkward to fill when it is full.
  • The timer menu takes time to learn.

Verdict

Skipping a separate grinder is the point of the Melitta AromaFresh Therm Pro X, which grinds beans in the same machine. It has 11 grind settings, and the grinder runs at the press of a button. The insulated carafe keeps the coffee hot without a warming plate, and the coffee stays smooth rather than bitter. The removable water tank and automatic cleaning make upkeep less of a chore, and a cleaning reminder tells you when. The display walks you through settings, and the timer can be set for weekdays and weekends. At 3.96 kg and 46.3 cm tall, it takes up real space, and there is no warming plate. It suits a buyer who grinds fresh beans every morning and has room on the counter for a tall machine.
