Third-party reviews

What we like about Solis Aroma Brewer 1021

  • Automatic cleaning runs a cycle by itself, which cuts down on descaling.
  • A cleaning reminder tells you when the machine needs a clean.
  • The 1.8 L tank holds enough for a large pot.
  • Aroma strength control lets you choose a milder or stronger cup.
  • The timer starts brewing at a time you set.
  • It takes pre-ground coffee, so a grinder is not needed.

What we don't like about Solis Aroma Brewer 1021

  • At 36.5 cm tall and 2.9 kg, it is not light to move.
  • There is no thermal carafe, so coffee sits on the warming plate.
  • The tank cannot be removed, so you fill it in place.
  • There is no built-in grinder, so beans must be ground first.
  • There is no app connection for controlling the brew from a phone.

Verdict

Few jobs are as dull as descaling, and the Solis Aroma Brewer 1021 handles much of it for you. It has an automatic cleaning cycle and a reminder that tells you when it is time to run one. The 1.8 L tank is enough for a busy morning, and the aroma strength control lets you choose a milder or a stronger cup. A timer lets it start brewing before you come down the stairs. It takes pre-ground coffee too, so a grinder is not needed. The trade-off is size: at 36.5 cm tall and 2.9 kg, it is not light to shift. It has no thermal carafe, so coffee sits on the warming plate while you wait. It suits someone who wants a simple, low-fuss filter machine that looks after its own cleaning.
