Third-party reviews

What we like about Melitta Easy Timer 1010-04

  • Automatic shut-off turns the machine off once brewing ends.
  • Drip stop lets you lift the carafe before the brew is finished.
  • A water level indicator shows how much water is left.
  • The non-slip base keeps it steady on the counter.
  • It works with pre-ground coffee.
  • One carafe and one heating element keep the design simple.

What we don't like about Melitta Easy Timer 1010-04

  • The water tank cannot be removed, so every refill happens on the machine.
  • There is no cleaning reminder to prompt upkeep.
  • It has no automatic cleaning.
  • No water filtration system is built in.
  • There is no mobile app for controlling the machine.

Verdict

Plain filter coffee with very little fuss is what the Melitta Easy Timer 1010-04 is built for. It shuts itself off once the brew is done, and drip stop lets you lift the carafe mid-brew without a drip on the counter. A water level indicator shows how much is left in the tank, and the non-slip base keeps the machine in place. It works with pre-ground coffee, which suits a simple routine. The trade-off is the tank. It cannot be removed, so every refill happens at the machine itself. It also has no cleaning reminder and no automatic cleaning, so you need to keep track of upkeep yourself. It suits a buyer who wants a simple one-carafe machine for the kitchen counter and does not need an app or extra features.
