Look IV Therm Timer

Very easy to use. You do need to set the time on the clock, but it's very simple to do - one button for the hours and another for the minutes and off you go. As I love strong coffee I have it set on maximum strength, and it makes a lovely cup of coffee. My friend commented that the coffee tastes smoother than with the old machine (which was quite venerable!). The coffee is at the perfect temperature, nice and hot without tasting scalded or bitter, and the thermal jug keeps it at the right temperature - I haven't yet had cold coffee when I leave it in the jug. I find the timer easy to set - simply press and hold the timer button and use the hour and minute buttons to set the start time. Release the timer button, then press it briefly to turn on the timer and it's done. It remembers the time you've set - useful if you regularly want your coffee at the same time. I have a long habit of leaving the filter holder and reservoir open to dry, and it works just as well with this machine. As there is no hot plate the coffee never tastes stewed. I find that you need to turn the jug completely upside down to get the last of the coffee out, but you soon get used to it. The automatic shut off is great, because the thermal jug keeps the coffee hot there's no need to leave the power on for ages. Some people have mentioned about cleaning the jug, as it's not recommended to put it in the dishwasher. I've found that a couple of hours soaking with dishwasher powder does the trick very well and the jug comes up nice and clean. Overall, a great improvement and I'm very pleased with it, plus it looks very slick!

Was disappointing noted the nanny state had taken away hot plates that stay on... then I found this with a thermal jug and a timer and a strength dial. So how does it perform. The jug is brilliant, no drips, no leakage, the lid pops up when you pour and drops neatly back down, again with no leaks and it pours lovely. The coffee stays warm for ages, I would say a good three hours and it is still very drinkable. The strength dial is brilliant, I like strong coffee and usually find filter makers a bit thin on strength, this one has a dial which slows down the drip over the coffee and therefore the strength increases. A full jug on max strength takes about 8 minutes to filter. The timer was a bonus. Way to set and then just leave if you want the same time ever day for a wake up brew. You set the time and press the timer button and that’s it If I was going to quibble then I would say a dimmer for the clock would be nice, it seems manufacturers think consumers want bright blue light everywhere. The clock is illuminated constantly with a blue background, it’s not overly bright and if it’s in the kitchen it won’t keep you awake but it would be a nice option to be able to switch the backlight off or down. In the UK and I would expect a lot of other places we drink mugs not cups. The scale on the water tank is in cups, small and large with a maximum of 12 small cups. A small cup is 60ml, a big cup is 125ml.. for us mug drinkers its 250 to 300ml required, so expect 4 to 6 mugs out of the tank . The tank is an average size for these machines. Quibbles our of the way, I would recommend this machine, mine has been used almost every day since it arrived. Timer switched on and wake up to the smell of fresh coffee.... just need a bacon sandwich making machine on a timer and my world would be complete

Every now and again, you come across a product that completely wows you. This is one. The thermos instead of a glass jug is a brilliant idea - and I now can't imagine why not all coffee machines are made in this way. For a start, it saves on power - because there is no hot plate needed. Second, the coffee keeps warm for a staggering time. Yesterday, I set the timer for a full jug of coffee at 6am. I had a mug at 7am, before leaving for golf. I then had a second and third mug of (still piping hot) coffee from the jug after lunch at 2pm. I then had a warm mug of coffee after dinner at 7pm. OK, it was no longer hot, but it was still drinkabley warm, with some steam - that's 13 hours after brewing!!! And that, my friends, is what compelled me to write this review. Two other reasons why I'm very taken by the Melitta coffee maker. One, the coffee tastes lovely. I don't know how they do it, given that it's not got all these mod-cons like shower over etc, but they do. I drink a lot of coffee from lots of places, and I'm very happy with this taste. Two, the construction is very solid. It feels classy and professional. In fact, this German made coffee maker feels like a good solid German car. Highly recommended. ****** 18 month update (May 2020) It's still going strong, and I'm still loving it. I still maintain that it's the best thing I've bought for years. Since the original review, I've also come to appreciate the descaling mechanism - every six months or so, it detects that you need to descale. Once you follow the instructions, add a tablet to a jug of water, it does the rest. I like my coffee good and strong, and this is still producing the goods after almost daily use for 18 months or so - looking as good and as sturdy as new. ****** 3 year update (January 2022) I'm treating this review like the 7-up programme! Still working absolutely perfectly and looking great. The only problem is that the ever-hot thermos has encouraged me to drink so much coffee throughout the day that if I don't have it on at the weekends, I start to get withdrawal symptoms (seriously!). As such, I've started mixing the caffeinated coffee with decaf. ****** 4 year update (February 2023) Hello, old friends. Still going strong! And still looks as good as new. Now officially lasted longer than most of my relationships. I did have one disagreement in the past year where I used ground coffee scooped from a pod, and she didn't like that (wasn't going through the filter paper so spilled over the top of the filter mechanism). I washed the jug lid and she was happy again. I'm not sure when we started using a gendered pronoun, but I guess the relationship has developed naturally over time. Not yet changed my Facebook status.

Bien. Ma précédente cafetière du même type (thermos intégré) avait rendu l'âme il y a quelques semaines. J'ai voulu la réparer, mais résistance de chauffe introuvable, elle aura tenu 2 ans... Puis vinrent non pas les beaux jours, mais les Amazings Amazon Super Days of the Vendredis. Alors, allons-y donc y chercher une nouvelle ! Après en avoir trouvé 3 en concurrence, j'ai (nous) opté pour celle-ci qui était à un prix très attractif ! Impératif : il fallait absolument une bonne capacité et surtout, une carafe type Thermos ! Elle va très bien à côté de la machine expresso (noir et inox). Elle est un peu encombrante, certes, et il faut du dégagement sur le côté gauche pour ouvrir de porte filtre. Le réservoir est très grand, et il est aisé de le remplir sans en mettre partout ;-) Le sélecteur d'arôme : à fond. Sinon, le café est vraiment trop léger à mon goût (j'ai essayé). La fonction calcaire : ? Pas regardé la doc :-P Mais pourquoi pas, si cela permet d'économiser du courant (j'en sais rien en fait). Moi c'est vinaigre blanc et des rinçages, alors... Mais le GROS POINT FORT c'est que la carafe garde le café au chaud très, très, très longtemps ! Autre chose que mon ancienne cafetière, ça ! (Et que toutes les autres que je connais). Le liquide reste "bouillant" au moins 3 heures. Au bout de 12 heures ( ! ) il est encore légèrement tiède, et tout cela, à demi remplissage initial seulement. En gros, je peux boire le café du matin fait vers 8H00 encore vers 16H00. Logiquement, j'ai aussi remarqué qu'une fois le café coulé il est vraiment très chaud. Cela doit venir du système de liaison entre le porte filtre et le système du bouton du thermos, bien étudiés. Donc, peu de perte de chaleur. C'est pour ces deux derniers points que j'ai mis 5 étoiles directement. Et l'affichage heure/alarme est sympa, très simple et esthétique. Que du bon tout ça !

I was afraid that the carrafee will not keep temperature for long time, fortunately it does , 4-6 hours you can have warm coffee, excellent taste doesn't change as hot plate , very effective, nice machine, highly recommended

Ich benutzte die "Melitta Look Therm Timer - Filterkaffeemaschine" nun bereits seit 2018 und trinke mindestens eine Kanne täglich. Der Kaffee gelingt einfach sensationell und hält in der Thermoskanne auch vergleichsweise lange warm. Der Füllstand des Wasserbehälters ist leicht und von beiden Seiten ablesbar. Der Brühvorgang ist von kurzer Dauer und der Tropfstopp funktioniert zuverlässig. Der Timer ist einfach zu benutzten, für tägliche Änderungen der Startzeit jedoch ein bisschen fummelig, da die Minuten und Stunden nur vorwärts durchgedrückt werden können. 6 bis 8 Große Tassen können mit einer vollen Kanne befüllt werden und solange nicht nur noch 150 ml oder weniger Kaffee in der Thermoskanne sind, bleibt dieser auch mehrere Stunden warm. Nach 50 Brühvorgängen meldet sich das Gerät mit dem leuchtenden Hinweis "CALC", dass die Maschine entkalkt bzw. gereinigt werden soll. Dennoch funktioniert das Kaffee machen uneingeschränkt weiter, wenn man nicht entkalkt. Der Entkalkungsvorgang benötigt 25 Minuten und etwas Entkalker. Anbauteile wie den Filterhalter oder den Kannendeckel stecke ich gelegentlich in den Geschirrspüler. Der Kaffee schmeckt, die Maschine ist einfach zu bedienen, Energieeffizient (Thermoskanne) und leicht zu reinigen.

Lekkere koffie, prima bedieningsgemak. Klein puntje: als de stekker eruit geweest is moet je eerst de timer zetten voor de zaak aan gaat

fonctionne parfaitement , cruche isolante tien bien chaud le temps de transvider dans un vraie thermos
