Melitta Aroma Enhance Drip Coffee Maker, with Glass Carafe, 10 Cups Capacity, White

Full disclosure, I've had this coffee machine for less than 24 hours. I noticed when I was purchasing, it had no reviews, however, so I want to add mine in case anyone else is hesitant to buy something without reviews (which normally I am!)It had been a few years since I've actually had a coffee "machine." I've had a Melitta pour-over for the past few years, and that's been all I needed, but with my significant other moving in, it was time for a higher capacity upgrade so we could chug our morning coffee without all the cup-by-cup brewing. In the past I'd had cheap, simple, basic coffee makers, because although I do appreciate a good quality brew, I would not consider myself a coffee snob by any means.After spending time browsing the machines in lower price ranges, I wasn't very impressed. I also didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars for a machine which is supposed to save me money vs. getting my coffee to-go. I decided to see if Melitta made anything more than the little pour-overs I was used to. I came across the AromaEnhance, and was scared off by the lack of reviews, but scoured the internet and did find some reviews elsewhere, which were overwhelmingly positive. I really liked the looks and features of this model, so I decided to bite the bullet and order.It arrived quickly and was packaged very nicely. I followed the instructions to clean, and run water through to get rid of any plastic taste. It says to run water through 3x, but I found once was sufficient in my case (I'm impatient!) It came with some free Melitta #4 filters, which are the best filters, in my opinion. That was a nice touch, especially for those who are not familiar with the cone vs. basket filters. I quickly went to brewing my first carafe-full, after setting my aroma selector dial nearly all the way to strong, and I had 6 cups of delicious coffee in just a few minutes. It stayed hot for at least 30 minutes, and warm for hours.Things I really like are the overall appearance of the machine - very nice looking, and well-built, the quietness of the machine - no beeping and very little noise while brewing, the ability to set it to brew my coffee in the morning so it's ready when I wake up, and the carafe which keeps the coffee a nice hot temperature so I can enjoy a 2nd (or 3rd) cup later on vs. a warming plate which scalds the coffee and is a waste of energy. My only (very small) gripes are that the carafe's design nearly requires you to hold it completely upside-down to get the last bit of coffee out - which also may make pouring water in to fill the machine tricky if you use the carafe, and the carafe lid screws on, which is actually great, but for some reason mine tends to take a couple tries to screw it on 'straight.' These are very minor quirks, and it's entirely possible that I just have bad hand-eye coordination, but overall, I'm very satisified with the Melitta AromaEnhance. I will update this review if I have any issues in the coming weeks/months, but so far, so good!

I bought this as a gift for a friend and she absolutely loves it and says it does exactly what it needed it to do. I chose melita because they have the perfect temperature for hot water to make the best cup of coffee and of course the shape of the filter. I bought the gold filter too.

This is a great drip coffee maker and I'm so RELIEVED this one is working. I've owned a lot of drip makers and each one the coffee has been terrible. Melitta is a German company and the design of the coffee maker is really nice and sleek. The coffee will only be so hot for so long, keep in mind that the plate the stainless steel pot sits on is plastic and does NOT heat up. So the coffee is being kept warm within the stainless pot only. If you need super scorching hot coffee for 2 hours, good luck finding a maker that gives you that - or just stick it in the microwave for 30 seconds. I actually prefer the coffee is not sitting on a heated plate because it just burns it and ruins the flavor. I also like how the top of maker opens by a push of a button and it's all open in there - so it's easy to air out and wipe down if you need to. I leave the lid open after brewing so everything can dry and air out. The look of the maker is super nice too. I got the white and it's just a really attractive looking design sitting on the kitchen counter. Coffee is tasting smooth too, I'm not getting any of that bitter weird taste. I am using really good quality ground coffee but with prior makers, that made no difference. With this machine I really am happy overall. Thank you Melitta for a great product.

There are many different settings for types of coffee. With a little experimentation, one should be able to find the perfect cup of coffee.

April 2024 Easy to use, and makes good coffee. Keeps it hot for a bit more than two hours. I use it every day for three cups.July 2024 The carafe broke after 3 months. It was my fault, but it is very difficult to replace the carafe. The odd shape of the machine makes most quickly obtained carafes too big. Everything else takes more than two weeks. I have returned two carafes, and am three days without my coffee machine and counting. Annoyed.August 2024 Don't buy. Melitta's carafe does not fit, and they don't make one for this machine. I would never buy anything from Melitta again. I found a small carafe that does fit after four tries, but it is a massive pain. I uploaded two pictures. The broken carafe, and the only carafe that fits. A huge differenceSeptember 2024 Still stinks. Contacted Melitta who forwarded me to Wabilogic where I finally find the carafe after searching for a half hour. Naturally it is out of stock. Try to add my name to a mailing list so they can contact me when it is in stock. It does not work. I find a second space to add my name after contacting Wabilogic on a chat, and I get on the list. This is the last entry unless they contact me about the carafe. My expectations are low. Melitta should hire someone from NY State DMV to help them running a company. Or maybe the Post Office.

A nice , easy and simple to use coffee maker that has a strength adjustment for flavor that works really well. Easy to set up and use - a nice touch is a red indicator lights to let you know it's time to clean with vinegar and water. Wish the pot was 12 cups, but I'll live.

Nice size for the counter top Makes a nice cup of coffee

Wanted a Medium Size Carafe & thought this looked fine. Absolutely a great choice! Easy Set-up. The Maker has light to say it needs Cleaned. That's simple for good tasting coffee, nice feature. Ordered extra Filters, just in case, LOL, Girl Scout Moment, they are on a grocery store shelf!
