AlanI'm very happy with Melitta Barista TS
Dani VEasy to use, easy to clean and makes excellent coffee. What's not to like?
Susan GrantI have thought since I bought this that is was very average. It doesn't make very nice tasting coffee, and the crema is non existent, even when using the correct beans.It is a pain to clean, requiring the use of very flexible fingers and a toothbrush to get to areas of the machine where coffee grounds (and resulting slime and mould build up even when done every week, and these do not get removed by the machines cleaning processes!) The drip tray overfills before the machine warns you to empty it, even though I keep a jug under the spout when starting and rinsing. The drip tray has corners and crevices which require a lot of fiddly sponge action to clean as well.Now less than a year in it has developed a fault. Amazon can't help me so I have to contact the manufacturer, which I will do today...more after I do that to advise how the customer service and guarantee hold up!
terrence m arnoldThe machine is easy to use and maintain on a daily basis, and produces good coffee. I've been using it for 4 months now and I'm still very happy with the purchase.The only negative comment I have is that the phone app (which basically offers the same functions as the machine itself, but in a more user-friendly way) has difficulties connecting over Bluetooth - it takes a couple of tries before it starts working.
Peter SzymanskiOk, let's get the bad stuff out of the way first.1) It's massive. Even in our generously sized kitchen it looms out of the counter, it is not an inconspicuous item.2) It's hard to keep looking clean. The gloss black plastic and chrome elements are a magnet for fingerprints and oils.3) The consumables and waste bins and frustratingly small for such a large machine. Only 1.8 litres of water (a considerable amount of which is used to the regular rinse/clean cycles) means you're going to be filling it up on a daily basis. The bean hopper and the grounds waste are also smaller than you'll find on many similar or smaller machines.4) The drip tray is the most annoying design I've ever come across, it's shallow with an internal divider that acts like a dam and suddenly over-spills when you're pouring it out, it is almost impossible to empty it without sloshing it and spilling brown watery dregs somewhere.5) If you're not going to use two different types of beans, the dual hopper with 'auto-bean-select' is the most annoying thing in the world as it means one side of the hopper empties and has to be refilled much sooner than the other, I wish it were possible to just remove the separator and have one big hopper. You can sort of work around this by making your most popular coffee choices pull beans from different sides, however you'll always run out on one side before the other and be shouting "JUST USE THE BEANS FROM THE OTHER SIDE!!" at the machine as it tells you to 'Fill Hopper 1' again.6) It's quite slow! It seems to spend a lot of time 'warming up' and making myriad internal noises before it actually extracts the coffee. Much slower than the old Delonghi we had.7) The menu system is extensive but cumbersome, taking a long time to navigate and the text is tiny considering the generous size of the screen.8) The Bluetooth ‘Smart’ app feature is a gimmick at best and you won’t use it more than a handful of times (once you realise you can pair any of your favourite recipes to the ‘one touch’ buttons on the machine).

SebBrilliant machine. Have bought a number of them over the years. Perfect if you want to blend beans.

Peter HartI love my coffee machine, specially on weekends and early in the morning it’s like having a barista at home.
J. B. Garcia VegaCoffee is superb, however some of the parts cleaning can be a bit fiddly, although the auto clean function after making the drinks is good. The app is easy to use, shame it keeps disconnecting from Bluetooth when you leave the house. It doesn’t auto connect again. The app is easier than than buttons on the machines if you want anything other than the standard sized beverages. Using the one machine buttons to program a recipe is a faff. App much easier.
AlexanderOne button operation , will make any coffee you want, you can customise how much milk and coffee to put into your drink.
Shonagh YI chose this as it has 2 bins. we use 1 for decaf. Incredibly versatile and if you have a spare week or so I recon you could learn to use all the features. Actually we manually choose strength, size of cup and which bin and its made. We could commit this to memory but its so easy we have got used to it. its quite large but if it was smaller I suppose I would moan about always filling it up. We are delighted with it and have now become used to being coffee geeks.
JDaPUT OFF BY SOME REWIEWES ON AMAZON ABOUT THE MACHINE .BUT NOT DISAPPOINTED WITH IT, WORKS LIKE IT SHOULD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT SO FAR ,MAKES A GREAT CUP OF COFFEE
Mr.A.KajaLittle on the expensive side but Is nice meat and makes a great coffee.Would prefer to be hotter though
Gerad T.Little on the expensive side but Is nice meat and makes a great coffee. Would prefer to be hotter though
Gerad T.Well lets start with what its bad at. The thing its suppose to be good at. Latte's are luke warm at best. I had one warm coffee the rest just luke warm. Set temp to high in the app. Warmed my cups, i even did a hot water first to get things going and still luke warm. Maybe i got a faulty one. The 8 year old delonghi it replaced has replaced this.The app worked ok for me. Had reconnect once though already. You have to wait for the machine to fully boot up before opening the app. This feature is great and you can make your coffee any way you like it except hot. ( i may have had a faulty one)Cleaning is nice and easy but the drip tray fills up quick because of the internal cleaning it does. Cleaning is good so this you should expect.Having two bean compartments is great idea. One of the reasons i bought it. Its easy to select between the two.Coffee it made was not mind blowing compared to my old machine but was still good and maybe if i had it longer i would of messed around with the setting more. Which can make a difference.Milk froth was not the greatest, i expected more from this machine and price range, again maybe a fault with the heat.Overall if the machine worked at making latte then it would of been great. It is large but i have the space. It is alot quieter than my old machine, and the milk system works alot better, the way it connects. Sad to send it back.Update!Since going back to my old machine this machine makes better coffee from less beans. Kinda old trainer new trainer thing.
