Melitta Vision 12-Cup Luxe Drip Coffee Maker

Looking at photos and videos, we were absolutely in love. Couldn't wait for it to come, so we could start using it. The first pot was as superior a cup that we had ever had ** we did buy some expensive whole beans, that were far better, as it turns out, than our usual Folger's pre ground. The quality carried through the next few pots....and we were pleased. Then........... 1. My wife became terrified that she would break the relatively 'thin' glass carafe. So I sent an email query to Melitta, asking if we could buy another carafe as a back up......two weeks, and still waiting for a response from them.....oh well. 2. The water pours out in a nice looking 'shower head', and wets the grounds very well. "However", after a week or so, we noticed an oily film on the shower head; and without a lot of work, one cannot properly clean the shower. 3. The plastic connection between the bottom of the coffee grounds thingie and the top of the carafe [that the coffee water drains *ran out of room

A++ for design, however, the product does not appear to be of Melitta quality to last. Glass carafe, paper thin, weighs in at 14.6oz and feels like egg shell thickness, glass discolors with usage, can see with naked eyes, thin lines in glass circumference. After a few days use, the unique "copper" collar, began to show white Steam? marks not removeable. The filter basket, has a spring stopper on bottom that gets stuck in open position, causes drips (potentially more trouble, if not aware and would remove carafe before brewing complete)! Expectations are for a Drip Coffee Maker to last minimally 5 years, after 1 week of use . . . sadly unsure this will hold 6 mos needing to be cautious and watchful. May just be too delicate and 'high maintenance" for my spouse's daily use.

Looks good, works easily, and brews good tasting coffee.

It makes great coffee and looks stylish doing it. The rotating control panel is genius.

Stunning on the counter and delicious coffee - my wife had swindled me into a Keurig and I finally had to tell her we were switching back to drip. Did the research, landed on the Melitta Vision and we could not be happier!

Was intrigued by this coffee maker, so I purchased and have been impressed this far. It makes great tasting coffee and the "strong" feature works well if you like a robust cup of coffee. Highly recommend.

I’m in love with this coffee machine, the details were not spared in the creation of this machine, it brews a great cup of coffee and conveniently takes up little space on counter and I love that it can be arranged in many ways to accommodate space. Although this isn’t mentioned in the description, I contacted a Melitta and the water tank is BPA free.

Great taste, simple and easy function, good looking. Its the best coffee machine I’ve used. The only thing I don’t love is that one of the top lids hinges and the other doesn’t. I’m just afraid I won’t be paying attention and break the lid that’s not connected. Other than that A+!

Since my 10 year old grinder built-in coffee maker with a stainless carafe finally broke, I was looking for the same style. However, I fell in love with Melitta Vision coffee maker so I gave it a try. Simple, Stylish, and Practical. I love my new coffee maker.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ive always been a traditional coffee pot kind of guy. Regular ol' coffee was just fine by me, until I got this Melitta coffee maker! It really was not hard to work, the directions were quite simple! I really enjoy the great tasting coffee too! I highly recommend it to anyone!
