Third-party reviews

What we like about Melitta Look V Timer 1025-18

  • Excellent temperature retention with the shatterproof, double-walled stainless steel thermal jug keeping coffee hot for at least 2 hours.
  • Removable water tank features a built-in handle recess, making it incredibly easy to fill and clean.
  • Patented AromaSelector dial allows for simple, custom adjustment of coffee strength from mild to strong.
  • Integrated 3-in-1 calc protection with programmable water hardness settings and a descaling alert indicator.
  • Fast brewing speed that can brew up to 10 large cups (1.25L) in roughly 6 minutes.
  • Drip-stop mechanism effectively prevents coffee from leaking onto the base plate when removing the jug.
  • Easy cleaning with dishwasher-safe parts including the removable swivel filter insert.

What we don't like about Melitta Look V Timer 1025-18

  • The integrated digital clock completely resets every time the machine is unplugged from the wall.
  • The machine cannot initiate any brewing process until the clock is manually set, causing an annoyance for users who unplug appliances.
  • The internal water level markings on the tank lack precision, making precise measuring a bit difficult for some.
  • The thermal carafe shape can require extra attention and effort to thoroughly clean and rinse out.
  • Lacks a pre-infusion (bloom) step, which some coffee enthusiasts note slightly limits full flavor extraction.
  • Occasional customer complaints regarding potential leakage if the water tank or carafe is not aligned perfectly.

Verdict

The Melitta Look V Therm Timer 1025-18 is a 1080-watt drip filter coffee machine featuring a 1.25-liter removable transparent water tank that brews up to 10 large (125 ml) or 15 small (85 ml) cups using 1x4 paper filters. Key characteristics include an integrated 24-hour programmable timer with an LED display, a patented AromaSelector for adjustable brewing strength, an integrated drip stop, 3-in-1 Calc Protection with customizable water hardness alerts, and a shatterproof, double-walled stainless steel thermal jug that triggers an automatic 15-minute safety shut-off. Users benefit from the convenience of waking up to fresh coffee, dishwasher-safe removable parts, and long-lasting heat retention without a hotplate scorching the brew. However, the machine can be somewhat bulky on small kitchen counters, the clock entirely resets every time the unit is unplugged, and the thermal jug requires being filled near its maximum capacity to maintain optimal heat retention over extended periods.
