Performance This tiny coffee maker has been generating a buzz in the underground coffee community for its compact size and adorable design. It’s small enough to fit in a man purse (or a regular purse, for that matter) and cute enough to make you want to pinch its little cheeks. I have been a coffee geek since I started home roasting more than a decade ago. Since then, coffee has taken me on countless adventures: From ancient coffee ceremonies in Ethiopia to the volcanos of Sumatra. BALANCING – this topmost band is thinner still and more highly perforated. This helps to encourage a balanced taste and aroma with no bitterness.I would say it’s easy to recommend at the EU price. If not for the coffee, then just for the cuteness. Small size for great coffee enjoyment, the Aromaboy is always there when you need it, conjuring one to two cups of coffee in no time at all.

Unfortunately, the Melitta Aromaboy takes longer to heat up and brews at a lower temperature than the ideal range, which can affect the quality of the coffee. These filters are a standard size that fit most filter coffee machines no matter what brand, and they’re ideal for any 8-10 cup filter coffee jug.

In a subsequent blind taste test, I found that the coffee made by the Moccamaster was more full-bodied and well-extracted, while the coffee made by the Aromaboy was a bit more astringent. The lower brewing temperature of the Aromaboy may have contributed to this difference in taste. The Melitta is similar to old school coffee makers from your childhood – just a lot smaller.

In a world where coffee makers are typically bulky, complicated, and devoid of personality, the Melitta Aromaboy is a breath of fresh air.Retro wave? No way! The beige Melitta Aromaboy® has been reliably making up to 2 cups of coffee since 1979. There is space for this small and unique filter coffee machine even in the smallest kitchen! This is not a massive problem for medium and dark roasts; it could be an advantage. However, when it comes to most modern specialty roasts that are typically lighter, you’d want 90-95 degrees celsius.
