You can get a Melitta coffee maker that is a single cup coffee maker, which is the perfect choice for a single person or one that only likes to brew one cup of java at a time. This coffee pot is designed so that you use a pre-measured amount of coffee grounds to produce one cup of coffee at a time. It is so simple to use. You just have to fill the water tank, press the button for the water to heat up and then press the button for a small or large cup and the coffee drips right into your mug. There are two holders on this machine - one for a single serving and the other for holding two pre-manufactured pods.
Although the Melitta is one of the cheapest coffee pots on the market, it is not one that customers recommend. This is because you have to use pre-ground coffee that comes in special packages rather than be able to grind your own coffee beans. However, the 12-cup coffee maker from Melitta has excellent reviews. Customers are really pleased with the price and say that it makes a large pot of coffee really quickly. The lid does not come loose when you are pouring out a cup and it doesn't drip any coffee over the side of the cup. The water tank has a level indicator so you know how much to put in through the small hole behind the filter.
The 12-cup Melitta takes cone filters and they are easy to remove and dump without any of the grounds coming through on the floor or counter. It also has a pause feature so that the drip stops when you remove the pot for that first cuppa while you wait for the rest of the coffee to brew. The average time for brewing a full pot of coffee is about 35 seconds a cup, so in less than 10 minutes you have your 12 cups ready to drink. Customers also say that the coffee from this Melitta coffee pot and the cone filters makes the best tasting cup of coffee.
In addition to the single cup and 12 cup coffee pots, you can also get a Melitta 5-cup and 10-cup percolator. They are convenient and easy to clean, but it seems that the larger coffee pots seem to work a lot better than the smaller models.
