Product Information

Latteperfection System - Frothed twice, twice as delicious: the new LATTEperfection system makes milk froth wishes come true at the push of a button. Unlike other currently available integrated milk circuits, this system froths the milk twice. The result is wonderfully fine milk froth at just the right temperature. This is the most innovative coffee machine series from Melitta , designed for those who want their coffee machine to act like the world’s best barista. At the touch of a button, these appliances prepare as many as 18 – 21 coffee recipes. The latest and best Melitta technologies listed above are all integrated in Barista ® machines . The most cutting-edge of them all, namely the Barista TS Smart model, allows you to choose from two different types of beans and prepare your coffee using any of them, as well as assign a certain bean variety to a specific drink and save your choice in the settings. Take advantage of as many as 8 user profiles and operate the coffee machine via a smart device. All maintenance programs are fully automated, so all you’ll have to do is enjoy delicious coffee.

More often than not, what makes coffee machines so noisy are the burrs, spinning loudly and crushing the coffee beans. In Melitta appliances, this component is operating extremely quietly, so you’ll be able to enjoy a cup of coffee early in the morning, without worrying about possibly waking your loved ones up. In addition to silent operation, the grinder is also extremely speedy — there’ll be enough time to brew a cup of your favourite drink even if you’re in a rush. Separate user profiles

The Melitta Purista ® model is not only just as compact as the Solo ® models, but it’s also equipped with additional functions and improvements that are sure to be appreciated by lovers of coffee. One of such improvements is extremely quiet operation, which is the result of a whisper-silent grinder. Moreover, Melitta has improved the surface of the drip tray: it’s been covered with special anti-scratch coating, so the tray won’t get scratched by cups even if you use the coffee machine for years. For even more convenience, there’s a built-in My Coffee recipe button, which allows you to program and save a drink — thanks to this button, you’ll be able to access your favourite coffee at the touch of a button every time you want to enjoy a cup. Ease of use is ensured by a separate Service button located on the front panel of the machine. By pushing it, you’ll access all maintenance programs. Those who love to experiment with the flavour of their coffee will be pleasantly surprised by finding even more grinding levels in this appliance — there are as many as 5. COMFORT line

The newly developed control panel with an LCD and red LED lights is very easy to operate. For example, you can choose the volume with a rotary knob on the left, you can determine the coffee strength with the bean knob, and you can also prepare 2 cups of coffee with or without milk by pressing twice on your chosen coffee. If I had one gripe about the coffee with this machine, it's that it comes out very hot, which is usually a sign that it's been brewed at too high a temperature. You can change this though, you just need to give the instruction manual a thorough read-through to find all the hidden controls. Super-Silent Grinder - You can make yourself a freshly ground coffee without waking anyone. Your automatic coffeemaker has a super-silent steel conical burr grinder that grinds the coffee beans quietly. The Latticia OT has, just like the other fully automatic machines from Melitta, a Companion App. Unfortunately, you cannot operate your machine with this app, but the app does make it easier for you to clean the machine, for example. You will find illustrated instructions as well as useful information about the machine. Do you need fast service from Melitta? Then this is also easy to obtain via the app.Extra Large Coffee Enjoyment - The Latticia® OT has a removable extra large water tank (1.5 l) and an extra large bean container (250 g) for plenty of coffee enjoyment. Despite being just 20 cm wide, this automatic coffeemaker has enough space to easily prepare two coffee beverages with milk at the same time. To adjust the brewing temperature you need to toggle through various buttons, pressing a set number of times, before you can choose from three options. Making milky drinks The most innovative Melitta models will allow you to create as many as 8 separate user profiles and save your favourite recipes on them, without changing the settings chosen by other users. The road to delicious coffee will now be even shorter! To brew your favourite coffee recipe, simply switch on your profile and select the desired drink with the touch of a button.

I'm not one to part with hundreds of pounds very easily, but it's a fact of life that a coffee machine is one of the greatest investments you can make for your kitchen. There is no way I'd have shelled out for a sophisticated bean-to-cup before I started reviewing these machines, but knowing what I know now, this is a machine I'd save up for. To make milky coffee in the Melitta Latticia OT, you need to take the milk tube and insert it into the right side of the dispenser. You then can place the other end of the tube in a glass of milk, or opt for a Melitta milk dispenser which will cost more, but look a lot better. It's a shame this isn't included seeing as the integrated LATTEperfection system is a main selling point of the machine. With the Aroma Extraction System (AES), Melitta first ensures that the freshly ground coffee is briefly sprinkled with water before the coffee is brewed. Doing this before the brewing process activates the aromas and releases the flavours better, much better than if the hot water is pressed straight through the coffee beans.Coffee Accessories: To enrich your coffee experience, why not invest in a set of double walled coffee glasses, or perhaps some stylish stoneware mugs, or maybe even a Bodum coffee travel mug for journey to and from the office.
