Melitta's 10-cup Thermal Coffeemaker keeps brew hot but makes it bitter (pictures)
Priced at $69, the Melitta 10-Cup Thermal Coffeemaker features a premium vacuum-sealed carafe for less but serves up brew that's weak and bitter-tasting.
Meet the Melitta
Meet the Melitta 10-Cup Thermal Coffeemaker, which serves up 10 cups of drip coffee one carafe at a time.
Controls front and center
At the center of the Melitta 10-Cup sit its control panel and LCD.
Under the hood
Flipping open the lid uncovers a filter holder and 10-cup water tank.
Pour while you brew
You can grab the carafe while brewing to quickly pour yourself a cup.
Swivel on the cap
The carafe sports an eye-catching red accent and a top that swivels firmly into place.
Premium dreams
The two-tone silver-and-black color scheme looks premium at a distance, but up close the appliance's plastic parts are a letdown.
Tidy pours
The carafe's thumb tab makes for hassle-free, tidy decanting.
A weak and bitter brew
Sadly, the 10-Cup Thermal Melitta machine makes java that's bitter and weak.
