Product Information

Firstly, high-quality gadgets and technology products tend to be more reliable. This means that they are less likely to break down or malfunction. When you’re relying on a product for an important task, such as work or communication, reliability is key. Investing in a high-quality MELITTA Calibra Electric Coffee Grinder can give you peace of mind and help you avoid frustrating situations where your device fails you. Once again, the simplicity of the design is what appeals to us. All the major compartments come away, making filling, emptying and cleaning a walk in the park. The dial is so simple a toddler could use it (probably best not to give them a cup afterwards though…)

A fine grind creates a rich and bold espresso shot. However, if the grind is too fine then the shot will not extract properly. Okay, it’s time to step things up a notch, with Militta’s Calibra Grinder – one of the premier domestic burr grinders on the market. Ease of cleaning and maintenance often plays a pivotal role in a user’s overall experience. The Melitta Calibra 1027-01 shines in this aspect:

Specifications

This grinder is designed for coffee enthusiasts who value precision, convenience, and aesthetics in their coffee grinding experience. Our best advice would be to follow this rough guide, and then experiment. The beauty of the grinders we have mentioned above is that you can discover the exact sized grain that suits you the best – and the trial and error involved in discovering this is all part of the fun. Take your time over drinking your coffee and really enjoy it – even make notes if you want to, to get it absolutely perfect. Which Grinder Should You Buy? This criterion assesses the versatility of the product, as indicated by its variety of settings and features, and how user-friendly the interface is. With 39 grind settings, the Calibra 1027-01 offers incredible flexibility for the user. The addition of an integrated digital scale increases precision, but the array of options may be intimidating for a beginner. So, we award a score of 4/5. Grinding Performance: 4.5/5 The Calibra is also a good choice for those who are starting to explore the world of coffee brewing more seriously but are looking for a machine that doesn’t require professional barista skills to operate.

High-Quality Performance: Despite its competitive price point, the Calibra does not compromise on performance. Its burr grinding technology, wide range of grind settings, and intuitive controls deliver a high-quality experience. The LED control panel is clear, with three ways to programme your grinding: by weight, by no. of cups, or manually. I’m pretty forgetful, particularly before my morning caffeine fix, so I found it incredibly handy that it could save my previous setting, meaning I could repeat the programme, or change the grind, and/or weight, to better suit my/my husband’s taste. This I find is far better than a pre-set integrated coffee machine, which presumes (and always underestimates) how I like my coffee! The integral digital scale takes out that guess work, although fine-tuning your choice of grind takes a little trial and error, with a scale of 39 (1-5 for fine, 6-26 for filter coffee, 27-39 the most coarse end of the scale, for cafétières), but for us coffee making is a ritual, and rotating the dial and tapping in our preferred measures, then comparing results, was just another - pleasurable - part of the process. Although the Calibra is user-friendly, its wide range of grind settings and functions might be overwhelming for someone new to coffee grinding. It might be more suited to those who already have some experience with grinders or are willing to spend time learning. It’s slightly smaller than some alternative options, but with a 15 cup capacity it is more than capable of satisfying domestic use. It will fit nicely on a worktop, but also would fit nicely into a cupboard if kitchen ‘real estate’ is at a premium!Then we thought that we should be looking at Melitta Coffee accessories rather than just looking at Coffee accessories or just looking at Melitta products. By combining the two pieces of data it helps to ensure that the prices and analysis we’re carrying out is as accurate as possible and gives you the closest match to the average price of similar products to MELITTA Calibra Electric Coffee Grinder as possible. When preparing a delicious coffee not only its freshness or grinding level is important, but often the exact amount. That’s why electric grinder Melitta “Calibra” has integrated digital scale. You can grind as much as exactly you need every time!

The neat Auto-Stop function is a wonderful addition. You simply set the dial to the number of cups you are making and it will automatically stop when your grains are ready. Leaving you to get on with making your breakfast, or simply just stare into space while you come to terms with the daunting reality of being awake. Once you get used to this feature, you’ll get fantastic results. Without wanting to get too bogged down in the detail, basically if you grind your own beans, your coffee will be fresher – the longer ground coffee is left open to the air, the more flavour and aroma is lost. Also, you have more control over your drink – the size and consistency of your grains to suit your taste. The lid can be a little bit fiddly to get off (but this eases with use), but as a budget option for a coffee grinder, this is a wonderful option.
