Third-party reviews

What customers like about Melitta 1030-06

  • Eleven grind settings let you match the grind to your beans.
  • The built-in grinder grinds fresh beans for every cup.
  • The 1.25 L water tank can be removed and filled easily.
  • A display, a water level indicator and a cleaning alert keep you informed.
  • A descaling program helps keep scale out of the machine.
  • Automatic shutdown and overheat protection add safety.

What customers don't like about Melitta 1030-06

  • The bean container holds only 180 g.
  • The 1080 W power is on the low side.
  • There is no milk frother or milk container.
  • There is no cappuccino or latte program.
  • It cannot brew two cups at once.

Verdict

Eleven grind settings are the main reason to look at the Melitta 1030-06, a machine with a built-in grinder for people who like to fine-tune their coffee. Grinding fresh beans for each cup is the part that changes the taste most. The 1.25 L water tank can be taken out and filled at the sink, which is easy on a busy morning. A display shows the water level and reminds you when it is time to clean. You can also set the coffee temperature to suit your taste. The trade-off is the bean container, which holds only 180 g, so it needs refilling often. The 1080 W heater is on the low side, too. It suits a black coffee drinker who wants control over the grind and does not need milk drinks.
