Melitta Black Traditional Cone Coffeemaker - 10 Cup

A duplicate of my first pour through from the mid-1970's when life was just starting and a lot simpler. Works wonderfully and the coffee tastes as well as I remember. I highly recommend this coffee maker as an alternative to the drip maker for a grand pot of coffee, it will impress your friends.

The Melitta coffee maker is exactly what I was wanting. Makes the best coffee and I don't waste any of the coffee grounds. I can repour over the grounds twice and get all of the coffee out of the grounds.

I like this way of making coffee! It is faster than using an electric coffee maker and the coffee is not so hot that it will burn my tongue if I drink it right after I brew it. I prefer warm or cold coffee not hot coffee. I never knew this kind of coffee maker existed. It is perfect for me! Thank you Melitta.

I was tired of replacing my automatic coffeemakers every 5-7 years, so I went “old style” with the Mellita filters and carafe. It really is not more difficult going manual and it is also safer since I don't have to worry that the electric coffeemaker being left on after I leave the house.

Seems like thicker glass than my previous one. The funnel cone now has ribs on the inside. Best value for poor over carafes.

Takes a bit more time in the morning (I am missing coffee being ready when waking up), but not a big problem. Night before fill tea kettle with water and prop the paper filter in the black filter to save a little time. I have good luck keeping it warm on the simmer burner on a heat shield using gas stove. My biggest wish is that my local Walmart store carried the #6 filters.

The coffee is clear and tastes great. No grounds.

For some reason beyond my understanding, Melitta refuses to import #6 filter holder to the US even though they sell the #6 filters. I had hoped that this filter holder made by Melitta would be like the ones you get overseas. No such luck -- there is a protrusion at the bottom making it only usable on this glass carafe, but not on insulated containers. Too bad. Fine otherwise and reasonably priced.

If you like the great fresh taste of coffee this is it. The only thing I do not like is you cant make more then one cup at a time because I you let it sit it will and does change the flavor. I do enjoy the coffee maker.

This seller advertised this as a 10 cup and arrived a 6-8 cup. Paid higher price but not as advertised
