I'd wonder if the BEEM wasn't a defective unit. It looks like it should have a secondary rotation in the dripper, though maybe you simply didn't include footage of it rotating. It LOOKS like it's supposed to be doing more than we're seeing.

I think the Melitta EPOS might be for people like me. I WANT to be a coffee geek but I don't have any of the gear and just drink the free coffee at work. I'm what you might call an "aspirational coffee snob". This is the kind of thing I might ask for for Christmas or spontaneously buy after bonus time.

I would think anyone buying an automatic pour over coffee would not want to have to control and set the tiny stuff, they want something they can push a few buttons, walk away and come back to a cup of coffee. In that sense I think the Melitta ticks all those boxes. Its just the people of this channel would not be interested in such an item because they are not the target market.

Or for the guy who has a little money to burn and wants to show off his fancy new coffee machine in the kitchen, because it has *moving parts*. I would really be curious how much the coffee from these machines differs from a plain and simple 40-quid drip machine. And if I have 200 quid to spend for a pourover, I'd just get a V60 with a good scale and a decent grinder.

Making my morning pour over by hand as I watch this...

Love the Darth Vader mug at 15:09 ! 😂 Great vids by the way!

These look like a coffee brewer I might get as a gift for my parents or siblings. Someone who wants to like coffee, but isn't willing to put in the work for a good cup themselves. It would be an expensive gift, but I can see a market for it there. Especially for the Melitta.

That Melitta is the perfect brewer for my parents! Melitta filters are for sale in every supermarket over here since every standard drip brewer uses them, so they don't have to order and stock "special" filters. They switch between manual Melitta pour over and using their drip brewer since they appreciate the better taste of a manual pour over but don't care enough to do it on a daily basis. They aren't out for *the* perfect coffee, they want simplicity, so having a choice of 3 doses and 3 grind settings would be more than enough tweak-ability for them. They buy preground because they don't care enough to have a seperate grinder, but they do realize freshly ground is better and their preground coffee gets worse near the end of the bag. They thought about a full-automatic espressomachine, but they prefer drip coffee over espresso.

The Beem's features are really exciting, it's a shame it didn't perform well. The Poursteady team stopped by my office a couple years back, their machine performed well in the areas the Beem appears to be missing.

these things: automatically makes pourover fancily, costs $200+ a $16 drip coffee maker from target with the heating pad removed: automatically makes pourover slightly less fancily.

Benjamin Hohlmann a world-renowned Coffee sensory expert and also expert pour over brewer (YT Channel Kaffemacher) reviewed the Epos and did several blind tastings with coffes brewed via manual pour over and with the Melitta Epos (ground with same top notch grinder not the Epos grinder). He was not able to consequently tell which one was his own manually brewed coffee. His result: brewer top, grinder shit, together no good recommendation. But since now the Epour is out (only brewer without grinder) this should be one of the best Filter Coffee mashines on the market. Sadly its not possible to control temperature and the temperature is quite high. So could be problematic with very dark roasts.

I love how James always says "fresh water". Like ppl are using stale water 😂😂😂. Love the vids and your commentary is hilarious and informative. Thanks for the content!

Wife and I bought the Melitta for the Parents in law, they had no grinder and only bad filter coffee maschines. The point that it comes with a grinder brought them away from using preground coffee, so plus in my book. No the Melitta is not for me, not now, not ever but it was for someone else, who only drinks filter coffee and does not care about the whole shabang that filter coffee can be. It fills the niche of a high end option for the coffee drinker that does just want that, drink coffee and nothing more and that it does quite good, in my opinion.

I do understand the all in one concept. It’s aimed, primarily, at beginners who want to get into making ‘proper’ coffee the ‘proper’ way, but who don’t want a bunch of separate, space taking, and possibly unmatching pieces of equipment to fiddle with. You’re right that most people watching your channel would probably have a grinder anyway, but remember that you chose to review a product that probably wouldn’t interest many of your viewers; the company didn’t ask you to.

There are of course highly programmable machines, like the Sage Precision Brewer that I believe James said he uses at home. Anyway, have fun, and happy slurping! ☕️

Agreed on the grider combo. To your point, if the grinder fails or the coffee machine fails you're left with a broken appliance sitting on your counter until the other side fails. Same as the tele/vcr combo.

Epos is a Greek word means Era

Thanks for taking two for the team. They're a hard pass for me. Sweet sweater dude.

Great video! You are completely right about the fact that people don’t think about automated pour overs before spending some time discovering the coffee world, and with that discovery the first reflex is to get a proper burr grinder. The audience for the Melitta is still a mystery for me too..

Nice jumper!

I'll stick to my 10 dollar v60

This is basically my problem with that cheaper machine. If I need something to pour water over coffee incompetently I'm more than capable of doing that myself.

Thank you for not making me buy the Melitta EPOS coffee machine. There is a Melitta machine where you don't have the grinder part. To me it seems like a good buy. Cheaper, smaller, but - hopefully - still great coffee. Any thoughts?

I've recently bought a Melita e-pour and I'm really happy with it so far, all though I haven't bought a grinder yet

I have never cared about coffee (I drink my 3 cups of folgers out of my mr coffee every morning) that much but I love the passion other's have for it. That passion got me to doing a bit of reading/watching that led me to this channel. This video finally started to hit home about coffee. I still don't have the inclination to spend that much time on it but I am getting more interested. I don't know if this channel has a video about my level of coffee love (the folgers mr coffee thing) but I'm going to look. Most all of the videos I see are about coffee on a level way beyond me at the moment.

Epos is the Greek noun that “epic” derives from. The Iliad is an Epos, etc.

A bit late to the party, but I do think this would work for me and I'm seriously considering springing for one. The only grinder I have at home is a hand grinder to go with my Aeropress, so this would be nice.

I have no interest in a robot making my coffee. I am a home espresso maker, I agree with your previous statement of suggesting it is a hobby. It takes a lot of my time and i absolutely love the time it takes. I also have a french press, v60 pourover, wacaco nanopresso (for hikes) and an aeropress. I love coffee, i love brewing it. Not into the automatic/robot type products. But I love your content. Love your reviews. Liked the video and look forward to the next!
