Third-party reviews

What customers like about Melitta 1023-05

  • A water filter gives you filtered water for every brew.
  • The water level indicator shows how much water is left.
  • The display lets you read the machine's status at a glance.
  • You can choose how hot the coffee comes out.
  • Adjustable cup clearance fits tall mugs and small cups.
  • The hot water dispenser gives hot water for tea without a kettle.

What customers don't like about Melitta 1023-05

  • At 1050 W it heats more slowly than stronger machines.
  • There is no milk frother, so milk drinks are not an option.
  • There is no built-in grinder, so beans must be ground beforehand.
  • There is no portafilter, so it cannot make espresso shots.
  • It works with neither capsules nor powdered coffee.

Verdict

A water filter sets the Melitta 1023-05 apart, and it suits anyone who lives in a hard-water area. The 1.2 L tank comes out for filling and has a water level indicator, so you always see how much is left. The display, cleaning alert and descaling program keep upkeep in view, so the machine is easier to look after. You can set the coffee temperature, and the cup clearance adjusts for tall mugs or small cups. A hot water dispenser gives you hot water for tea without boiling a kettle. The trade-off is power: at 1050 W it is on the low side, so heating takes longer than on stronger models. It fits a buyer who wants a practical everyday machine with filtered water and some control over the brew.
