Melitta Bean to Cup Machine, With Adjustable Coffee Intensity, Adjustable Double Outlet for One or Two Cups, Cup Warming Function, Self-Cleaning Option, SOLO, Sandy-Grey, E950-877

Product Information

Talking of cups, the machine allows you to pour coffee in any quantity and features a height adjustable spout, that means that you won’t be limited to the short cups that you may have put up with on other coffee machines. Though the cleaning, water tank, pump pressure of 15 bar and such are still the same, the Purista seems more sophisticated overall and more ‘target-group oriented’. If you would like to change your settings or withdraw consent at any time, the link to do so is in our privacy policy accessible from our home page. Yes, the main function of a coffee machine is to produce great tasting coffee on a consistent basis, but that doesn’t mean that looks aren’t important as well. Whilst still being affordable it boasts a wide range of features that you’d expect to find on much more expensive machines, and its ease of use and cleaning makes it an ideal choice for a busy household where saving time is just as important as saving money.

More flavour with pre-brewing: The freshly ground coffee is moistened with water before the actual brewing process. Unfortunately, this way of thinking is misguided, as we must never forget that a fully automatic coffee machine and a filter coffee machine have two completely different preparation principles.

That said, the Melitta Caffeo Solo has finally closed a gap in the market long been ignored by manufacturers and is gaining more and more momentum.

Specification: Check out the specs for MELITTA Caffeo Solo E950-103 Bean to Cup Coffee Machine and see how they compare to your expectations and other products. The purist design and the experience of aromatic enjoyment will impress those who love pure espresso and coffee. However, its successor, the Purista, shows that a ‘dedicated’ brew group is a better choice for the ultra-compact class of coffee machines. The cookie is set by Facebook to show relevant advertisments to the users and measure and improve the advertisements.For this you don’t necessarily need a milk jug, instead you can stick the milk tube directly into a bottle of milk. It’s delightfully compact, meaning that it won’t take up space that can be at a premium in modern homes. In terms of durability and performance for the life of the machine, the Melitta Caffeo Solo is a step above the competition — even some of the high-end machines that are out there. However, the inclusion of the bean container does mean that the water reservoir is a little small and needs to be topped up too regularly.

Once you programme in your desired parameters, the coffee machine will brew coffee and espresso using these exact settings until you change them. Once you’ve set your grind level (hint : go for the finest setting), you will then need to choose how strong you like your espresso shot? Descaling the Melitta Caffeo Solo should be once every three months and takes roughly 40/45mins on an automatic program.

Like I mentioned before, there are ‘special’ cleaning tablets that Melitta sells under the name ‘Perfect Clean’. Its compact size adds to its aesthetic appeal, so it really will be a valued addition to any household. Well, that and Melitta’s promotion of the Purista has caused the Caffeo Solo to be put on clearance pretty much everywhere. That said, the Solo’s variations of 87, 90 and 93 degrees Celsius (187, 194 and 199 degrees Fahrenheit) for coffee and espresso are completely ridiculous anyway.
