Hands-on review · Timer drip coffee maker
Verdict
The Melitta Look V Timer brews consistently tasty filter coffee on a timer, but its plastic build feels less sturdy and its clock resets when unplugged.

Third-party reviews

What we like about Melitta Look V Timer 1025-08

  • Convenient 24-hour programmable timer with clear LED display allows waking up to fresh coffee
  • Removable transparent water tank with recessed grips makes filling and cleaning highly effortless
  • Patented AromaSelector dial allows easy customization of flavor strength from mild to strong
  • Integrated 3-in-1 calc protection with water hardness programming and automatic descaling alerts
  • Highly practical swing filter holder with removable dishwasher-safe insert and functional drip stop
  • Adjustable hotplate keep-warm configurations available for 20, 40, or 60 minute increments

What we don't like about Melitta Look V Timer 1025-08

  • The internal digital clock resets completely every single time the power cord is unplugged
  • The machine strictly requires you to set the clock before it will allow any brewing process to begin
  • Default automatic shut-off triggers very quickly after 15 to 40 minutes depending on regional model settings
  • The overall body construction heavily relies on plastic components despite having stainless steel trim elements

Verdict

The Melitta Look V Timer 1025-08 is a 1,080-watt drip filter coffee machine featuring a 1.25-liter removable water tank that brews up to 10 large cups using 1x4 paper filters. Key characteristics include a 24-hour programmable LED timer, a patented AromaSelector for strength adjustment, and a 3-in-1 calc protection system with an automatic descaling indicator. Its main advantages are the highly practical detachable water tank, dishwasher-safe components like the glass jug, an integrated drip stop, and an adjustable hotplate keep-warm time (20, 40, or 60 minutes) with auto shut-off. However, cons include the lack of a hot water option, the ongoing need for disposable paper filters, and a clock display that inconveniently resets whenever the unit is unplugged.
