Melitta 6707231 Aroma Boy Filter Coffee Machine, 500 W, Beige

Product Information

The second process is known as oxygen cleansing and this process is chemical free and considered to be better for the environment. During my testing, I tried four different types of coffee. First, I experimented with a supermarket's brand of Colombian ground coffee. Then I moved on to Italian coffee beans, known for their full-bodied flavour and strength. In 1954 coffee was once again revolutionised in Germany. Gottlob Widdman introduced and patented his ‘WigoMat’ instant coffee dripper and this was the birth of the filter machine. The WigoMat was so popular since it was the first coffee brewing method that introduced the idea that water temperature used for brewing should not be boiling and it dramatically improved on the previous taste. In years to follow the Wigomat’s competition increased yet it remained the most popular instant drippers for over 20 years. Another option is the Smeg Lavazza A Modo Mio, which is gorgeously designed, as expected from the premium kitchen brand. It's available in a range of colorways, allowing you to find the perfect match for your kitchen decor. The price is similar to the AromaFresh, but this machine uses coffee pods. Coffee-to-Water Ratio: Start with a standard ratio of 1:15 (coffee to water) and adjust according to your taste preferences. This ratio will provide a balanced cup of coffee.

It's important to ensure that you set up your machine for either ground coffee or coffee beans. This can be easily done through the LED display. Additionally, you can fine-tune the grinding fineness of your freshly ground coffee using the convenient 'grinding fineness regulator' located at the top of the machine. How I got on with the AromaFresh II Filter Coffee Machine The brewing time can vary depending on factors such as the number of cups and the coffee grind size, but generally, the brewing process for a standard-sized pot of coffee takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Traveling and Camping: Due to its lightweight and portable nature, the Aromaboy is an excellent companion for travelers or campers who want to enjoy freshly brewed coffee on the go.When it comes to buying coffee paper filters the choice of different shapes, sizes and materials can leave us confused and frustrated. Whether you need bleached or unbleached, flat bottomed or v-shaped, this guide will help you to find the right one for you.

Automatic Switch-Off: The Melitta Aromaboy comes with an automatic switch-off feature, adding an extra layer of safety by ensuring the coffee maker turns off after brewing.Aside from being capable of making excellent coffee, the Aromaboy has one more interesting design feature: the hotplate. After all of the water has been dispensed, the hotplate keeps your coffee warm. I like this feature because sometimes I do leave coffee for a little bit because I often drink coffee while I am working. Have I used this feature much? Not really. But it's nice to know it is there. And I am sure many people will make use of the hotplate. The hotplate for me sort of makes me feel like I am making and drinking diner coffee, something I am yet to do. Brewing with the Aromaboy Glass Pot: The Aromaboy includes a glass pot that holds up to 2 cups of coffee, perfect for a personal brew or for sharing with a friend. Gifting: With its charming retro design and beige/brown color option, the Melitta Aromaboy makes a thoughtful and unique gift for coffee lovers or those who appreciate vintage aesthetics. Grind Size: A medium-fine grind size is recommended for optimal extraction with the Melitta Aromaboy. Ensure the coffee is freshly ground for the best aroma and taste. If you prefer to use coffee beans, you can fill the coffee bean container to the brim. The machine will automatically dispense the correct amount of coffee based on the number of cups you've selected and the desired strength. You can choose from 2 to 10 cups and three strengths: mild, medium and strong. When using ground coffee, simply add your preferred amount of ground coffee to the filter.

Not only has the dripper been reinvented through time but we have also seen coffee paper filters go through many changes. Melitta has always been at the forefront of filter paper innovations. In 1989 Melitta was the first company to introduce unbleached filters papers made from unchlorinated pulp. In 1999 they introduced micro fine perforations on the filters papers to prevent sediment and unwanted oils from entering the cup. And to keep up with their sustainability responsibilities they introduced their Bamboo filters in 2007. The grinding of the beans can be a bit noisy, but it won't disturb the entire house. The aroma of freshly ground coffee and the brewing process is almost irresistible, truly living up to the 'AromaFresh' name. We discovered that grinding the beans finely resulted in the best cup of coffee - strong and flavourful. Small Spaces: The Melitta Aromaboy’s compact design makes it a great fit for small kitchens, studio apartments, dorm rooms, or office spaces with limited countertop area. The manual also details how to descale the coffee machine when needed and gives step-by-step instructions. How does the AromaFresh II Filter Coffee Machine compare to other coffee filter machines?Even with hundreds of years of history behind coffee, we are still inventing new ways in which to brew it and every year new brewing types and techniques are being created. One of my favourite new inventions came in 1999 when we saw the Presso (now called ROK) created being one of the first non-electric espresso makers to create 9bar pressure for a perfect extraction. The Aromaboy is an engaging coffee brewer. I find myself looking at the bloom, waiting until enough water has been dispensed before I am ready to stir the brew. I like listening to the gurgle of the coffee brewer as more water is dispensed. I am still unsure how water is heated and dispensed but what I do know is the mechanisms for these features must be clever. The brewer looks simple on the outside but is well-built and, thus, sparks my curiosity. Indeed, using the Aromaboy I have a newfound appreciation for brewing coffee with electric brewers, and an interest in tasting coffees from other brewers. Coffee Beans: The Melitta Aromaboy works well with medium and dark roasts, which are more forgiving of the slightly lower brewing temperatures. Experiment with different coffee bean origins to find your favorite flavor profile. Pour 100ml water in a circular motion, ensuring all grinds are wet, and leave for 1 minute to bloom
