With the Melitta Enjoy Top Therm 1017-08, you can decide how intense your coffee becomes. With the adjustable coffee intensity, you can easily choose a mild or strong flavor, depending on your preference. That's useful when you want an intense cup of coffee in the morning and a milder one in the afternoon. The double-walled thermos keeps the coffee warm for a long time, so you can also enjoy a fresh cup later. You can easily move the pitcher to the dinner table or the desk, without the coffee cooling down quickly. Take the pitcher out from underneath the machine, so the machine stops dripping. This way, your counter stays clean. The clear volume marking on the water tank makes filling it easy.
