Melitta (Melita) coffee maker [2-5 tablespoons] ES (Eze) Dark brown SKG56T

I previously owned a Melitta coffee maker & it recently died after 32 years of use. I thought about buying a model that offered more options, but it is hard to buy another after 32 years of service. So while I wanted a coffee maker that would go into a thermos, I decided to buy this maker & buy a stand alone thermos. Best of both worlds!I am very particular about my coffee. I grind my own beans & I think my Melitta brews wonderful coffee

It suits my needs, since I live alone. The instructions are all in Japanese, and there are no instructions available in any other language, not that the coffee maker is complicated to operate. It's not. I was just dismayed that there weren't any instructions available in English (or any other language). Also, the cover is permanently attached to the carafe, so it would seem that it could break off at some time in the future. Putting it in the dishwasher is a bit problematic.

The coffee tastes off in this coffee maker. No it isn’t the coffee either. I am trying out different coffee makers. And I wished I would have just kept the first one I ordered but it was to big for one person. I am returning this one, bc for the price it should be a lot better tasting. Onwards to find my perfect 5 cup coffee maker.

As expected. Only tiny problem is dribbling around the wide mouth. Fortunately, my carafe from (annually) defunct Mr. Coffee works with this as well, with less dribbling. But really, not a very big problem. Very happy to have a coffee maker that can brew a good cup of coffee, not just fast and weak coffee like most of them here. Also stainless does not pick up fingerprints quickly as I'd feared.

Do Not Recommend! That's all I'm allowed to say!

NOT RIGHT, POOR LENGTH of brew nozzle.Redesigned nozzle by cutting/extending; WAY above/beyond .. for this coffee geekNO INTEREST, ASSIST FROM MFG.. VERY unsettling since experience with previous Gevalia/Melitta BCM-4CB was such the expert brewer.

I've had the 12 cup Melita coffee maker for years and was very happy with the smooth coffee taste it brewed. I saw this 5 cup Melita and wanted to give it a try. I'm very happy once again with the smooth coffee taste this coffee maker brews.

I had an old Melita that was great, but it stopped working. Tried a new one but the coffee is not hot. Also, the measuring of the amount of coffee is confusing. The paperwork was all in Japanese, no English.
