Melitta made a design choice about the placement of the lever to adjust the coarseness of the grinder on the Solo that’s a bit cumbersome. Instead of making the adjustment within the bean compartment itself, you have to remove the service panel to find it next to the brew group.

To Melitta’s credit, it has, for the most part, been kind enough not to jumble one’s brain with overly convoluted series numbers. However, when it comes to the Melitta Caffeo Solo, there is a small caveat with the colours. Melitta have been in the home coffee brewing business since 1908, when the very first filter coffee system was invented. Fast forward over 100 years and today they have a great selection of bean to cup coffee machines to choose from. My Melitta Caffeo Solo Review is a deep look at their entry level series.

The Melitta Caffeo Solo has you all covered, with its range of customisation options. Bean GrindingHere we’re going to look at the prices you can expect to pay for products from the Coffee machines category. we’re opted to use Currys PC World for this comparison, as they offered the most competitive prices for MELITTA Caffeo Solo E950-103 Bean to Cup Coffee Machine. Straightforward buttons and a rotary dial make it easy to adjust with little effort on the Melitta Caffeo Solo. Having the grind adjustment lever situated behind the service panel definitely detracts from the idea of being so small and compact that the machine can be placed anywhere. However, keep in mind that you only have to set the grinder to the finest setting once and most likely will never mess with it again. One caveat, though, is that these machines are no longer in the category of ‘fully automatic coffee machines for individuals’ like the Melitta Caffeo Solo has been designed to serve. Cleaning the Melitta Caffeo Solo: You’ll Notice That Something Is Missing and Be Glad About It The more you practice the better you will get at this bit, and the more silky and smooth the textured milk you can produce.

For maximum enjoyment Caffeo ®Solo ®has a pre-brewing feature: The freshly ground coffee is moistened with water before the actual brewing, this releases the flavours in your coffee.

Still, if you look at it on its own, the Melitta Caffeo Solo does almost everything right. It’s easy to clean thanks to its simplicity, easy to descale and sells for an affordable price.Summary: what do these issues mean for the final verdict on this Melitta Caffeo Solo Bean To Cup Coffee Maker? A fully automatic coffee machine cannot make filtered coffee, and a regular coffee machine cannot make espresso. Not only because of the pressure required but also because of ‘incidental’ things like filters. In other words, the Melitta Caffeo Solo and a modern Moccamaster cannot effectively replace one another.
