Independent summary
At the recorded £69.99 Argos price, the removable tank, 24-hour timer, simple AromaSelector, drip stop and automatic descale programme make this a notably convenient mainstream filter brewer. The 1×4 paper-filter format is widely available, and the jug, lid, tank lid and filter insert are listed as dishwasher-safe.

Best for
Households wanting an affordable jug of filter coffee brewed automatically for breakfast
Watch out for
It needs ground coffee or a separate grinder and disposable size-4 papers. The glass jug sits on a hotplate, so flavour can become harsher if coffee is held rather than served; Melitta permits 20, 40 or 60 minutes on its UK record. Check the exact variant before buying: Melitta says 10 cups and programmable 20/40/60-minute auto-off, while Argos calls 1025-08 a 12-cup machine with 15-minute shut-off. The manufacturer says it is repairable with many spares, but an exact public parts list was not exposed. Independent brew-temperature, extraction, noise and hotplate tests are pending.

Why a grinder is included
This machine has no built-in grinder. The connected baseline grinder is included because freshly ground coffee cannot be made without one. It is a compatible starting point, not the only suitable choice. Beans, capsules, filters, milk, scales, cleaning products and optional accessories are excluded. Retailer prices and stock can change before checkout.

Where published specifications conflict
We keep both claims visible because choosing one silently could lead to the wrong purchase. These are evidence issues, not product faults.
Jug capacity in cups

Why it matters: Cup counts are not standard measures and the retailer code may identify a related variant, so the headline serving count is unsafe for planning.
How we handle it: Use the manufacturer's measurable 1.25L tank capacity. Treat 10-cup and 12-cup labels as serving conventions until variant identity is confirmed.
