Before investing in this coffee, I looked for three weeks on every conceivable sites and also via leguide.com! Indeed, I had a maker Kenwood CM70 white. It suited me by its capacity (0.5 liter, 6 medium cups) because I do not want a monster on my worktop! We drink 2 to 1 big mug of coffee only in the morning, and my apartment is not designed to organize meals for 25 people, so no need for coffee 25 cups 1.8 liters !! Yet the coffee filter manufacturers continue to think otherwise ... So it was really a hassle to find coffee as well as models "25 cups" but with a more modest capacity ... Initially, I wanted to change my Kenwood for a programmable. After nearly three weeks, I was to abdicate, because I did not find any that fit my criteria after all, fairly mundane: - Programmable, max 1 liter, pretty & design (no Mastok) - The anti-drip system is a real + - The aroma selector is a real gadget I find long-term, because self to experiment to find the strength we prefer, and then in the long term, the more it is left to bitogno! - Preferably not the timer located in the jug, to protect potential hot coffee drips, - Not a crazy price (such as 150 I have often seen here and there) - Removable filter holder (essential in order to rinse it under the tap!), - Graduation of visible water tank without twisting the neck and without a magnifying glass! (I added a shot of black marker on the graduations of my Kenwood manufacturer who found wise to play the "tonal" !!). Those are the criteria. And totally by chance when I was looking good ground coffee bio on the Web, I met this Mellita coffee !!! (Which is sold by 2 merchants only, on the internet!). I read mode-hallucinated-eyes-in-spiral-kom-in-the-cartoons- !, the full description of the product sheet, the 2 sites. The other site offers a test product, very informative. I talked to my friend, and I switched purchasing this Melitta coffee, all happy. ***** After 2 weeks of use, here the return to details of my constant enchantment: I'm ok with the 2 previous reviews for this coffee. I will try not to repeat! - The removable water tank (! And easy) is a real + for use, c + practice of paying itself from my Brita carafe, without putting everywhere! - Water hardness adjustment: live it optimizes product quality coffee (not need an aroma selector button, the machine handles!) - Excellent surprise: I chose the white model, but even if this detail is not shown in the product sheet, Melitta had the good idea to make all the black filter holder and coffee does not color gradually over time, the original pristine white filter holder! - The color 'white' is actually a very light off-white: my fridge is really white, not my Melitta coffee machine. I find this very stylish shade. - Personally, I do not intend to use the proposed scaling function, since I installed in the water tank a powerful anti-limestone, and my Kenwood kept 3 years, I have never found limestone deposit, anywhere in the coffee maker. It suits me see that the anti-limescale product is an irritant that requires large rinsing, we can not say that it is green! But for people who are interested, this bin Melitta also offers this feature! - My Kenwood coffee gurgled the passage, but the coffee obtained does not spread in the apartment. The Melitta coffee has the opposite effect: the coffee is preparing to pass our knowledge, but the aroma of coffee is my friend sleep, so it smells good in the apartment '(while the kitchen is yet to opposite of the room!). - The coffee does not cost me an arm and eyes !! In short, I who naively thought that the classic small-appliance brands (Seb, Moulinex, etc.) were able to propose models for all tastes, I planted well! However, we all know the reputation of Melitta coffee filters. Well, this brand is a fine standard of coffee at a very reasonable price. GREAT SURPRISE ;-))))
