Fortunately, the milk wand doubles as a hot water dispenser. So, of course, the question remains as to whether the Melitta Caffeo Solo could replace your classic drip coffee machine? If it doesn’t, this category of machine makes no sense at all. As we have since discovered, there’s little to worry about here. Each cartridge lasts about three months based on average metropolitan limescale levels. The Melitta Caffeo Solo in Use One great thing about the Melitta Caffeo Solo is that even beginners will have no problem getting great results out of the machine. I have to say, I do agree with their logic and wouldn’t think of it as over the top to do so. That said, if you find this cost prohibitive or simply inconvenient, you’ll have to decide which style of coffee you want to wake up to each morning. Best Coffee Beans for the Melitta Caffeo Solo Coffeeness Medium Roast Espresso Well-balanced with chocolate & hazelnut notes Freshly roasted in Brooklyn Very low acidity To the Coffeeness Shop After 10 years reviewing super automatics and espresso machines, and over 15 years reviewing coffee beans, we’re proud to offer our own Coffeeness Espresso Blend. Prepare coffee as an americano (espresso first then hot water) Coffee strength: Highest setting Melitta Caffeo Solo Cleaning Unfortunately, I don’t have any viable statistics at hand on whether milk or coffee residue is responsible for the majority of all error messages or filthy coffee machines. In between, there are buttons for single-cup brewing, double-cup brewing and setting the coffee strength. That’s all. Even at first glance, this chic little machine shows off its advantages in terms of size. To make them fit into the confines of a compact machine, all of the parts that require filling — the bean hopper, water tank and drip tray — will seem somewhat petite. You should not use any ground, glazed, caramelised, or otherwise sugar-coated coffee beans. For more information, see page 7of the manual. The price per cartridge will set you back $30.74, though it’s less costly to indulge in the three-pack.

  One thing is clear: if you expect to get the perfect latte macchiato or flat white from your machine, the Melitta Caffeo Solo might not be the best choice.

  Featuring notes of chocolate and hazelnut, our Espresso Blend is particularly low in acidity, making it easy on the stomach.

  Here’s how we recommend setting up your DeLonghi Magnifica S for the perfect cup of coffee:

  • Grind setting: 1 (Attention: Only adjust when the grinder is running!)

  • Espresso volume: 1 ounce (30 milliliters).

    However, the Melitta’s steam wand is rather flimsy and lacking in the pressure department. Also, empty the drip tray and empty the coffee grounds container.

  • To clean the brewing unit, which is recommended once a week:

  1. Switch off the appliance.

  2. Pull off the cover 11 to the right.

  3. Press and hold the red button on the handle of the brewing unit (Image B, 1).

  4. Turn the handle clockwise until the stop.

  5. Pull the brewing unit out of the appliance by the handle.

  6. Rinse the brewing unit thoroughly on all sides with clear water, ensuring the area shown in Image D (arrow) is free of coffee residues.

  7. Let the brewing unit drip dry.

  8. Remove coffee residues from the appliance.

  9. Insert the brewing unit back into the appliance, press and hold the red button (Image B, 1), and turn the handle counterclockwise until the stop.

  10. Insert the cover until it clicks in.

  • The integrated cleaning programme (about 15 minutes) removes residues and coffee oil that hand cleaning cannot.

    This is indicated by 1 to 3 beans on display 9.

  • Brewing temperature: You can set the brewing temperature to one of three levels (low, medium, or high). However, keep in mind that you only have to set the grinder to the finest setting once. My name is Arne.

• How often should I descale my Melitta CAFFEO Solo coffee maker?

  The descaling programme should be performed every 3 months, or at the latest when the descaling symbol illuminates.

  Sure, you could, of course, still buy a “complete” machine.
