Third-party reviews

What customers like about Melitta 1028-06

  • A 15 bar pump suits people who like strong coffee.
  • The built-in grinder grinds beans right before brewing.
  • The automatic milk frother makes milk drinks without a separate jug.
  • A two-cup function brews two cups in one go.
  • Adjustable coffee temperature lets you set how hot each cup comes out.
  • A hot water dispenser fills a mug for tea without a kettle.

What customers don't like about Melitta 1028-06

  • There is no steam wand, so milk cannot be frothed by hand.
  • There is no iced coffee program for cold drinks.
  • There is no PID controller, so the water temperature is not held to a precise value.
  • There is no portafilter, so you cannot tune the grind and pressing by hand.
  • There are no user profiles, so each person sets their drink every time.

Verdict

Someone who wants to grind, brew and froth without a second machine will be happy with the Melitta 1028-06. The built-in grinder works with fresh beans, and the 1.2 L tank holds enough water for several cups. The automatic milk frother and cappuccino program make a milky drink with little effort, and the transparent reservoir shows the water level. The water filter, descaling program and cleaning alert make upkeep less of a chore, and an indicator warns when the drip tray is full. It has no steam wand and no iced coffee program, so it is a machine for classic hot drinks. It suits someone who wants a coffee and a milky one every morning, plus hot water for tea, without fiddly milk work.
