MelittaFilter Coffee Machine, Look V Therm Perfection Model, Stainless Steel, Black, Art.No. 1025-16

Not the cheapest not the priciest, but in the goldilocks zone for me. Easy to see water level 360' in any light. Obvious 'on' button with clear light. No drip filter point and no drip insulated jug of elegant robust design, (all cheaper ones I've seen, drip on both). Instructions are simple. Quick top brew with optional slow robust setting. Keeps your coffee hot over 2 hours without burning it. Easy to clear. Descaling functionRECOMMENDED

It was the reviews what made me try this machine, after trying a few others then realising the reviews where from people who had been gifted the machine, This machine makes great coffee you can taste the difference, it stays hot not warm for a few hours, easy to use. Had for a few weeks and would definitely recommend as the saying goes you get what you pay for

Looks nice.Makes good coffee, with a strength adjuster combined. Only takes a couple of minutes, as well.Easy to use and not a bad price.

Excellent product. Coffee remains hot for a long time without using electricity. Easy to use. This was replacing an older version which we had for years.

Bought to replace an old rather flimsy filter coffee machine with a glass jug. This is solidly built, and the metal thermal jug is brilliant - keeps the coffee hot for several hours, and it isn't stewed. We decided it wasn't worth spending a fortune on a fancy espresso machine - we use coffee pods for that. Filter coffee is fine for our morning mugfuls.

Had two of the predecessor models and loved them.The Therm V seems to have a design fault. The two I had both suddenly stopped working after a few months. Pushed the on button, and then nothing. Same with calc cleaner button. Amazon refunded me - thank you. I've bought an older version, 2nd hand and am happy again.

This is our second Melitta coffee maker, and this one has a better thermal jug. Everything is fine and working well.

I haven't had a bad cup of coffee out of this yet. It's always perfectly brewed with no bitterness. However the thermal jug is pretty useless. The first cup of coffee is hot but after that it goes cold very quickly and needs reheating in the microwave. For a family or couple who plan on making a jug and finishing it in the hour it would probably be fine but for a solo coffee drinker like me it's pretty useless if a jug I prepare at 7.30am is cold by 10am.I also find the jug hard to clean. I'm used to a glass carafe that I can sling in the dishwasher but this insulated jug needs to be cleaned by hand and it also needs to be dried very thoroughly by hand. If I just leave it to drain water gets trapped in the jug making the next days coffee even colder.
