The Melitta Vision is a 12-cup gourmet coffeemaker designed to enhance the taste of coffee. With countertop space so precious in most homes, the rotating control panel allows flexibility in counter placement. Since a controlled water temperature is very important to the brewing process, the Vision incorporates two independent heating systems to optimize the temperature. With the control panel, users can customize the brew of the coffee to fit their tastes. The nozzle that distributes hot water over the coffee grounds was designed to maximize the flavor of the coffee, and as the water starts to boil and travel through the water riser tube, it is illuminated for visual enjoyment.
