This coffee by Melitta "Optima Timer", is the best I've ever had. It is pleasantly quiet, the coffee is brewed quickly and tastes as it should ... super. The Melitta has a timer and reminds one of a red light information when to descale the machine. This works fine, quickly and cleanly. She has a drip stop and ..... does not drip. Great. The instruction manual is really a usable and as such. Can I highly recommend.
