Third-party reviews

What we like about Melitta Look IV Selection 1011-17

  • AromaSelector feature allows easy customization of coffee strength from mild to strong
  • Programmable hot plate keeps coffee warm for a flexible duration of 20, 40, or 60 minutes
  • User-friendly design with a clear, dual-sided water level indicator on the transparent tank
  • Convenient 3-in-1 limescale protection including an indicator and an automated descaling program
  • Easy cleaning with dishwasher-safe glass jug, removable filter insert, and swivel filter holder
  • Reliable drip-stop mechanism prevents messes when removing the jug during or after brewing

What we don't like about Melitta Look IV Selection 1011-17

  • The anti-drip system can occasionally be less effective than expected, resulting in a few stray drops
  • Brewing a full carafe of coffee can take slightly longer compared to basic models
  • Lacks a built-in programmable timer to pre-schedule morning brewing on this specific variant
  • The overall footprint is relatively wide and might occupy notable counter space in small kitchens

Verdict

The Melitta Look IV Selection 1011-17 is a 1000-watt drip filter coffee machine designed with a 1.25-liter borosilicate glass jug that brews 10 large (125ml) or 15 small (85ml) cups using 1x4 size paper filters. Key characteristics and advantages include the patented AromaSelector dial for manual coffee intensity adjustment, an optimal brewing temperature design, a programmable hot plate (20, 40, or 60 minutes) with automatic shut-off, a drip-stop system, and advanced 3-in-1 limescale protection featuring water hardness configuration and an automated descaling program. On the downside, the unit lacks an integrated grinder, relies entirely on disposable paper filters rather than a permanent mesh alternative, and requires a fully manual mechanical selection process without smart home or smartphone application support.
