In between, there are buttons for single-cup brewing, double-cup brewing and to set the strength of coffee to be brewed. This is where the differences start to appear between the models, you need to decide if want this to be a manual or automatic process.

Fast forward over 100 years and today they have a great selection of bean to cup coffee machines to choose from. Welcome to our Melitta Caffeo Solo review, an affordable machine by a quality brand as you’ll discover on this page. The two very similar Melitta Solo coffee machine variations offer great features along with great value for money.

Keeping your bean to cup coffee machine clean has never been easier with our automatic cleaning and descaling programmes. Flavour is king, and whilst the Melitta Solo (previously known as Caffeo Solo) certainly won’t disappoint on that count, it also won’t keep you waiting when you want your next cup of delicious coffee. Its compact size adds to its aesthetic appeal, so it really will be a valued addition to any household. There are also three different brew temperatures to choose from, and this allows the user to make a truly professional tasting cup of coffee.

When you pick up the Melitta Caffeo Solo, Purista or similar models, you deliberately set out without the foam. I did find it somewhat annoying to have to constantly empty, fill and clean the machine, even if it’s only designed for one person — max two — to use. If we check out the Solo without comparing it to other machines, it makes for a rather perfect prototype of a ‘fully automatic coffee maker’ in principle. A short, sharp, strong espresso in a tiny cup to give a jolt to your day, just the way the Italians love coffee?
