- Hey everyone, this is my review of the 1011-08 Melitta Term Coffee maker. Wanted somthing automated, easy to use so that I can get fresh coffee when needed especially on days when I have an early start and this does the job. Link to Amazon where I bought it from below. Please give a thumbs up if you like this vid and as always feel free to comment and I will do my best to answer.

Do not buy plastic filters you will get BPA’s filtering into your coffee due to the hot temp and this is not good for your body!
Explained the timer better than the manual. Thank you.
No problem 😊
Mines due for delivery tomorrow...I was pleased to see we have the same grinder too!
Best coffee filter I have owned.
These are spot on and simple to use. I've always liked espresso coffee so use a machine and a Moka pot but these have become redundant since using this. I measure a litre of water for 4 cups and use around 55g to 60g of filtered Coffee. Tend to use around 55g so to get sort of equal cups from 227g packs. Obviously half that for 2 cups. Keep the aroma setting on full and then you're done. I don't use Italian coffee in this machine like lavazza rossa as I think they are best for short espresso style drinks. Currently use Asda specially selected coffee but Lidl do some great ones similar and better than Aldi imo. Sometimes buy more expensive but I really like the value Lidl and Aldi offer for their special ranges. One thing for certain is you'll never go back to instant after using this. Pretty much tried the lot when it comes to instant as well lol.
Thanks, just bought second hand and was trying to work out how to set the timer- timer now set😊
Awesome 💯 enjoy!
Thanks for the review, just ordered 👍
You are very welcome Stu enjoy your machine thanks for your kind comment
Hi :) Can you reuse the same coffee and filter later in the day? And what happens if it's set for say 9am but you forget to put water in the night before? thanks x
I've got this same model; it's simply great! But I don't bother with a grinder because these days, coffee is very well ground anyway, especially the Italian grinds or Union, so instead I'll spoon the amount in that we prefer, and let the coffee machine do the rest.
I was intending to buy a more expensive machine, but bought this instead on recommendation. It was the best buy ever, and I got it for £30 less, and what I'd have otherwise spent, went towards buying a Leatherman Crunch.
Thats great that you love it so much. As long as you get a great cup of coffee that works for you that's all that matters 😉
Our favourite machine - we’ve even bought a new one as a spare before they become unavailable - £40 on Amazon!! Which is absurd for such a good machine.
Straight to the point 👍🏼
moh alhatimy thank you my friend I try to be but not always easy!
Great video, thanks. My machine is arriving tomorrow. just one question...when filling up to the 4 large cup mark, how much coffee would you use for a strong coffee?
Tom Hawkins hi tom sorry for the late response well I like strong coffee and I use 4 heaped table spoons for the 6 cup mark. Just try 3 to start off with and see how you get on. Hope you enjoy it 😊
Just bought one. Have you tried the Aroma intensity on mild? I'm still adjusting the water to coffee ratio based on Lavazza Rossa ground coffee. I'm not sure I have it just right just yet.
Andrew Woodger hi Andrew, I only use the machine on the strong setting as I like my coffee as strong as it comes. Hope you enjoy your machine cheers Mark
Thanks for sharing this
Cecilia X no problem 😊
Couleur cafe que j’aime ta couleur cafe ☕️🎹 (Chanson de Serge Gainsbourg) Merci pour cette vidéo très complète et j’aime aussi your voice...
Excellent video, thanks a lot. I think I'll buy it. :)
Thank you for your kind comment Maria - so glad it helped you :o)
I bought it on amazon and got it yesterday. It's great. The only thing I don't like is that every time I unplug I have to set the clock again. I like to disconnect electrical devices at night so I will have to set the clock daily. It should have a battery, don't you think? Apart from that, I love it! :)
@@Maria-tl1lm Yes, if you uplug it every night then that would be a pain. What I do if I am not using the timer is when I get up and switch it on i just quickly press the set button and add any time on to the clock so I can start the coffee machine off, so if you do it that way it takes just a second and your coffee will be brewing quickly.
An you put hot chocolate powder in as a replacement. Might be a silly question to some
hey, how long does it generally take to brew your usual amount of coffee? thanks!
It literally takes 5 mins it’s very quick the longest part is grounding your coffee and putting it in the machine 👍
Thank you.
Adrian MorningStar your very welcome thank you!
Hey! I recently got this machine but I’m having difficulty removing the grinding gear. Any idea what I should do?
Hi, I think you may have the wrong video or machine as this coffee machine doesn't have a grinder gear it's just a coffee machine
I have this coffee machine but I am not sure if I'm putting the pot in right , because it keeps pouring over the coffee pot it's so frustrating does anyone know what could be the problem with it . Thanks 😊 Amina
Could you recommend a good pre-ground coffee for a filter machine?
Ben Sherman hi Ben to be honest I always grind my coffee and have done for years so I can’t really recommend any other than whole bean which probably won’t help you. I would always go for local roaster if you can as if it’s pre ground it won’t stay fresh for very long. Also, make sure you keep it in an air tight container will help with the taste cheers
How long does the coffee stay ‘hot’ in the pot? Will it still provide a hot coffee late in the afternoon even if i set it brewing at 9am that morning? In other words, will a single brew last all day in my office? How best i use this machine for my working day? (I work at home by myself)
Stephen Leworthy hi Stephen, the pot in my experience stays hot for around 3 hours (it may stay hot longer however I have usually finished the cover by then) but it is still very hot. The jug is very heavy and well made and has great insulation so I imagine it may even stay hot for longer but I can’t be sure about this. I no longer have this machine as I sold it as I now have a new coffee machine so I can’t test it for you. Hope that helps thanks 👍
Hi... do you know how to set how long the hot plate stays on for please. I think its 20, 40 or 60 mins but the manual is useless. Thanks
I'd also like to know this!
Would you still recommend this machine? Or is there a better option around the same price
Hi Harry yes I still recommend this as it's very good and I know is still a popular machine. Even though I have a sage Barrista Express I still use this as I love the timer function. I don't know about alternatives I am sure lots of competitive machines out there. Hope that helps you
Do you need to throw a way the filter every time you make coffee? Can you buy already griding coffee from super market ? Thanks
Yes you throw away a paper filter for each time you use it. Yes you can buy good ground coffee 👍
@@markshonestreviewsandhealt6953 ok thanks to tell you the through I never had a coffee machine but that's no sound very good ......I need 14 filters per week then .....are they expensive?
@@markshonestreviewsandhealt6953 I just Google it ....pack of 40 for £1.80 ....is not that bad then .thanks
@@georgetech380 yes I have left a few links in the description for the ones I use hope that helps
So much easier using the paper filters, I was using a little glass cafeteria but was a pain cleaning it out and putting the spent coffee grounds into my compost bucket to take down to my allotment plot to put on my compost bin. Not only does the coffee taste better through a paper filter but so much cleaner emptying and the unbleached paper filters break down biodegrade and make great compost that the strawberry plants etc love.
hi how often do you have to change the filters?
Every time you make a fresh batch of coffee e.g each morning you wake up to use the machine you would need a new filter
Can this be used without setting the timer function, like a manual override function for when you want to make another pot after the first wake up pot?
Hi Emma, yes you simply press the timer button to switch the timer off and just make a coffee as I show in the video. Once your done you can select the timer option again. Hope that helps you.
Mark's Honest Reviews & Health Tips Thank you so much for your quick reply, you have helped me to make my mind up and shall be ordering a machine today. Thanks again and stay safe out there 😊 Kind regards Emma.
@@emmarowley1096 hey Emma you are very welcome let me know if you have any other questions happy to help. You take care also 🙌
Mark's Honest Reviews & Health Tips good evening Mark. Have got to say how impressed I am with this coffee machine, I was torn between this and the perfection model but the timer won me over and the stainless steel jug is awesome and really does keep your coffee hot , drinkable unlike the hotplate versions that never seem hot enough in the first place and then stew your coffee if left for a while.
Didn't think I would need the timer function but what a luxury, house smells great when I wake up. Such a well made QUALITY product.
Thank you for your review because it really did help me to make my mind up and buy it, definitely recommend this coffee maker. THANKS MARK
@@emmarowley1096 Hi Emma! Thanks for the lovely kind commnent so glad you found the review helpful and you are enjoying your machine. Yes it is a very good machine and the convenience and timer is fantastic. I hope you get lots of use out of it. Thanks Emma 😊
what about the heating element. to keep the coffe hot. I dont know how to work it,,any ideas
I do t think the unit keeps the coffee hot via an element the thermos jug keeps it hot
The thermo flask keeps it warm for 2 hours
I can’t get calc red light off have descaled but still not going off any advice thanks
Dose it stop only when the water runs out or it stops before
Alexandra Rousou it stops when the water runs out Alexandra. Thanks for the question
I’ve noticed the machine keeps water inside it! E.G. if you put 500ml of water in the tank only about 350ml of water goes into the flask below!
Just got one from Amazon. Had to send it back as it leaked.
That's a shame they are great machines mine is still going strong
Hi, does the coffee come out really hot?
Yes it does and the jug will keep it hot for at least an 2 hours and warm for 4-5 hours
Why is my calc red light coming on anyone know
any guidance on brewing ratios? 😅
Hi Daniel, I treat it tye same way I would for a French press so usually around 3-4 tablespoons of coffee dependent on flavour as I like my coffee strong which is around 17-18g
@@markshonestreviewsandhealt6953 Thanks so much for the swift response :)
Just one last question: 17-18g of coffee per how much water? :)
@@danikani1992 you are very welcome mate 👍
@@danikani1992 I usually poor in the tank 1 and a half cups of water so I use a standard coffee mug as my measurement I hope that makes sense
How long does it keep coffee hot
About 5 hours
I find the metal caraffe gets somewhat cooler in just an hour and is room temp in less than three hours. Other than that it is great, but the inability to retain much heat and no heat plate means i gotta get rid of this one, its a bit disappointing because otherwise it has worked great

A shame that the clock is always lit up…
Bit late for an answer for you but you can turn the backlight off by pressing and holding the H & M buttons simultaneously.
