"unfortunately most coffee makers are too deep so my options were limited here"

"the only issue of note is that the container containing the spent coffee requires emptying very frequently when containing is nowhere near half full"

"in fact i bought one which was more expensive than this one and was doing nothing but coffee but i didn't like it and returned it"

"my one criticism not enough to dip below 5 stars is that the instructions supplied with the machine are pretty rubbish there is also little info on the krups website"

"the only issue of note is that the container containing the spent coffee requires emptying very frequently when containing is nowhere near half full"

"this product is smaller and more simplistic in its operation so hopefully it will last it was also approx £100 cheaper than the delonghi "

"i decided to go with this machine even though i was aware of some limited features such as no ground coffee compartment or display"

"con's none yet i imagine there will be some p"

"it came with very poor instructions"

"no pickup available and had to arrange myself"

"strong or weak"

"it couldn't be simpler"

"my one criticism not enough to dip below 5 stars is that the instructions supplied with the machine are pretty rubbish there is also little info on the krups website"

"purchased as a replacement to my delonghi machine which packed up after just over 2 years and could not be repaired"

"for the cappuccino i find cleaning the milk steamer after each use a bit tiring so if you like expresso this is it"

"and the coffee doesnt come that strong"

"my one criticism not enough to dip below 5 stars is that the instructions supplied with the machine are pretty rubbish there is also little info on the krups website"

"the only issue of note is that the container containing the spent coffee requires emptying very frequently when containing is nowhere near half full"

"final tip from me is that when you lose the little wire frother nozzel cleaner which you will and they are expensive you have to buy a new nozzel as well i found that the wire from a bottle of rioja works perfectly!"

"a very disappointed chump"

"i did have a grinder failure after a year or two but i took it apart and all that had happened was the grinder had worn out the plastic nubs that held it still and the wires had disconnected some duct tape later and no problems since"

"they tasted terrible"

"most frustrating"

"it is now 4 months old and i feel it has become increasingly noisy – with a rattle developing"

"nespresso airo thingy rather than mess around with an integrated mechanism"

"manual & melitta website were not helpful"

"then i was kindly sent a replacement this happened to also be broken same issue before even first use"

"very very noisy"

"i finally gave in when i saw this as a lightning deal but had to return my first order as the machine was leaking water"

"only minor issues are the water reservoir and drip try are quite small so need filling and emptying quite often and the cleaning program is a bit of a palaver"

"when tried to set up kept getting an error message on display"

"the coffee produced is good but missing parts leave a bitter taste to the experience!"

"well it's no longer an option for me to buy a third machine it's an environmental issue too just more landfill"

"pros relatively low cost for bean to cup machine and bought on lightning deal for £230 gbp not overly complicated e"

"i assumed all of the bad reviews for the melitta solo were from unlucky chumps and i decided to take a chance and buy"

"i have 2 of these bean to cup machines having previously had 3 delonghis which all scaled up after a year despite following recommended descaling procedures"

"no nonsense bean to cup machine"

"its a design flaw over time the seals around the water connection degrade and leak"

"returned it last week but amazon would only refund price not send a replacement"

"seemed amazing at first turned very bitter in the end"

"bought a different model but that came with a two pin plug so couldn't even try it"

"however box arrived and seal had previously been opened"

"the melitta caffeo solo has no creamer for cappuccino so i bought the melitta cremio separately and this makes the best foamed milk i have ever had at home"

"item came as though it had been returned already and then sent back out"

"small footprint"

"possibly previously returned and sent out again"

"used it daily for over two years now and it's never missed a beat"

"sadly not the case"

"having used the replacement for about 5 months now my feedback is a follows: it does the job fairly well to be honest i don't think there can be too much difference across similar priced machines and the quality depends more on the beans you use it looks really nice but is mostly made of plastic it is a pretty standard machine so don't expect any frills e"

"the machine came back from being "repaired" and it looked scruffy coffee all over didn't look good"

"its a design flaw over time the seals around the water connection degrade and leak"

"no cappaccino wand personally i don't think these work satisfactory on domestic machines although plastic feels robust and will last for years feels like will last longer than four years which previous £600 machine did i can't remember the make "

"it has been back for repair twice and there is no improvement if anything i think it is worse after the last repair"

"lack of a milk frother is a benefit: less cleaning and easily replaced with heating milk in the microwave in a small cafetiere and plunging!"

"this is a small bean to cup machine"

"item did not work"

"very poor from amazon who said it was just my risk that it did not work covered my kitchen and cupboards with coffee and would not replace it !"

"it is now 4 months old and i feel it has become increasingly noisy – with a rattle developing"

"bought a different model but that came with a two pin plug so couldn't even try it"

"manual & melitta website were not helpful"

"even though the advert said it was just a damaged box!"

"got mine with a melitta milk frother near by for those who like the odd milky drink"

"the downsides are: a very small water tank a very small bean hopper which clogs and the beans need a poke to get them moving again occasionall "

"i returned mine and got my delonghi esam 4200 repaired"

"i now have to retrieve packaging from the bin repackage and drive to a collect plus point 6 miles away to return wait 5 days for refund and buy another one probably not from zecasa"

"the "vent me" button lights up and press the "bean" button"

"having used the replacement for about 5 months now my feedback is a follows: it does the job fairly well to be honest i don't think there can be too much difference across similar priced machines and the quality depends more on the beans you use it looks really nice but is mostly made of plastic it is a pretty standard machine so don't expect any frills e"

"cons quite complete to set up initially you need to follow instructions to the letter but the english version misses out pressing bean button in after each stage need to replace filter every two months 200 cups at £11 a time although at least machine allows you to keep making coffees till you have replaced overall two months in it's a good buy"

"if you drink lots of coffee you might get frustrated with how often you have to empty the grounds etc "

"lack of a milk frother is a benefit: less cleaning and easily replaced with heating milk in the microwave in a small cafetiere and plunging!"

"machine came back again now it leaks out of the bottom side which it has never done!"

"we repeated the process several times as the vent me button still remained and no bean button lit up"

"two years and 8 days after getting one of the buttons became temperamental so i took a punt and emailed melitta explaining i was 8 days outside the warranty but could they do anything"

"hate the fact that the drip tray fills so quickly inside the machine so have to empty before i can make a coffee nearly every time"

"nespresso airo thingy rather than mess around with an integrated mechanism"

"i returned mine and got my delonghi esam 4200 repaired"

"it is not the same standard as a bespoke espresso machine but most bean to cups cant compete with that"

"i did have a grinder failure after a year or two but i took it apart and all that had happened was the grinder had worn out the plastic nubs that held it still and the wires had disconnected some duct tape later and no problems since"

"i've had delonghi machines for about 5 years and use the same beans from a local supplier so the only thing i've changed lately is to this melitta machine"

"the downsides are: a very small water tank a very small bean hopper which clogs and the beans need a poke to get them moving again occasionall "

"in contrast without the foamer it makes for a low maintenance proposition"
