The Melitta Latticia OT comes with some great care and maintenance settings, such as the option to set your water hardness (which will adjust how often you get the reminder to de-scale) and alter the automatic switch-off time. As with most machines, it will flush the system out before and after every use. I did find that a small amount of water came out before each shot of coffee or milk cycle, but at least I knew that this was clean water and not old, leftover coffee. I usually put a cup underneath the dispenser when I use a bean-to-cup machine to stop the drip tray from filling up too fast. Especially for machines like this, where the drip tray goes along the entire underside of the machine, they can be quite unwieldy and annoying to empty on a regular basis.

The control panel is therefore very sleekly designed. Although it does not have a touchscreen, it is very easy to operate. For example, there is a button for each coffee variety, and you have personalized settings such as the desired coffee strength and quantity that can be easily stored. The LCD screen with red LED lights is therefore not only beautiful to look at, but it is also extremely easy to operate. 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. Automatic Cleaning and Descaling Program - Your automatic coffeemaker automatically shows a message on the display when it needs cleaning or descaling. The service button provides simple access to the cleaning and descaling program, to the brewing temperature and water hardness settings and to the Auto-OFF function. If necessary, the complete brewing unit is easy to remove. You can then access the interior of the machine and clean it without any problems.The first thing that catches your eye is the dimensions. It is the narrowest automatic espresso machine we know. With a width of only 20 centimetres, it is one of the smallest fully automatic coffee machines on the market. The depth of the machine is 46 centimetres which allow it to protrude a bit and the slightly larger bean container also makes the machine a bit higher, 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 bean-to-cup appliances produced by Mellita are divided into three main coffee machine lines: Premium , Comfort and Standard . Every lover of coffee, depending on their personal needs and wants, can find the coffee machine that is just perfect for them. STANDARD line 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. 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.

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. The Melitta Comfort coffee machine line is designed for the people who appreciate convenience and want to brew delicious coffee as conveniently and simply as possible. This line includes the Avanza ® and Passione ® models. Avanza®Even entry-level Melitta models are marked by a myriad of classic drink recipes — however, what’s the most surprising is not their quantity, but rather their quality. The manufacturers only add a recipe if they’re absolutely sure that the machine will be able to brew it properly. This is particularly evident in coffee machine models of a higher class, which include such exceptional recipes as red eye or dead eye — Melitta has chosen to add them to their selection not to make the number of recipes more impressive, but because the company’s appliances are capable of brewing them according to the highest possible standards. Bean Select function

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 grinding degree can also be set with this machine, although we and Melitta recommend that you only do this after you have made about one hundred cups. The reason is explained in detail here.The Latticia OT is the latest fully automatic coffee machine from Melitta, the German brand that makes beautiful fully automatic machines.
