The Melitta 1 Cup Coffee Maker Review - What A Nice Surprise!

The Melitta 1 cup coffee maker is truly a surprise.

The company is named after Melitta Bentz, and she was definitely a pioneer in the coffee industry. In 1908, she patented the first cone shaped coffee filter and history was made. Melitta Bentz continued to sell her coffee filters until the beginning of World War I.

Coffee beans were then banned and she sold cartoons to support her family, as her husband was serving his country. After the war, production continued and the business expanded.

The Melitta 1 Cup Coffee Maker Easy Functionality

Today, Melitta is known for quality coffee makers. It’s not surprising that Melitta would look towards paper coffee pods for their newest line.

The Melitta one:one coffee maker is a nice looking machine, it resembles a rocket ship and is the about the same size as other one cup pod coffee makers. The pod fits into the top of the machine and opening the pod area is rather trendy in fashion.

Water Reservoir

The water reservoir is in the back and secured by two clips. It is somewhat of a challenge to remove the reservoir from the clips. It’s almost easier to simple refill the reservoir with a pitcher of water.

The clips also break easily, but this actually makes it much easier to get the reservoir on and off. The reservoir does not leak, but it would be nice if the tank was easier to get on and off.

2 Pod Holders

A nice plus to the Melitta single cup coffee maker is that there are two pod holders. One is for coffee and one is for tea. A tall glass will fit under the machine and it’s nice when your coffee doesn’t taste like tea!

Ready to brew in 45 secs

The Melitta 1 cup coffee maker is ready to brew in about 45 seconds. The ready light will let you know it is time to brew.

There are two buttons available for brewing, allowing for a five ounce and an eight ounce size. The five ounce will give you a wonderfully strong cup of coffee and the eight is just the perfect strength for a regular coffee lover. It doesn’t the froth on top like the Senseo, which often makes you think you brewed more than eight ounces of coffee.

Flavors

There are several flavors available, such as French Kisses, Go Hazelnuts, Buzzworthy, and Love at First Sip. The names are unique and it adds a touch of class to the pod flavors.

The Melitta One Cup Coffee Maker Makes Tea Too

Since the Melitta also brews teas, this aspect was also reviewed. There are a few less flavors available than in the coffee. Shades of Jade, All That Razzberry, and Zen in Black are some of the flavors that you will find well acceptable. The convenience and quality together make for a nice cup of tea.

This coffee maker is easily available, as are the pods. If you are unable to locate a machine, you can buy one from Amazon and the coffee can be shipped from Melitta. The pods are available on a regular shipping basis from Melitta if you join their coffee club.

In Conclusion

This is a great little machine that offers up a truly great cup of coffee or tea. There are many colors available and the nice array of coffee pods. When these are paired with an acceptable purchase price, it really makes the Melitta 1 cup coffee maker a sensible purchase for any coffee lover.
