Melitta Bean-to-Cup Coffee Machine, Latticia OT, Colour: Frosted Black, F300-100

Product Information

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 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. Water Filter Compatibility - It is best to use Melitta® Pro Aqua water filters – then your coffee will taste even better. Your automatic coffeemaker will then only need to be descaled once a year*. Limescale deposits in the water circuit are prevented for as long as possible by the filter. * This figure is based on a 120 ml cup fill level with six dispensing processes per day and six filter changes according to the appliance information. Product specs: The machine should of course also be cleaned from time to time. This can be done very easily via the ‘service’ button. This button gives you easy access to the cleaning and descaling program. and you can also see when your filter needs to be replaced, you can use it to set the brewing temperature, and you can control the automatic shutdown and the water hardness setting.

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. 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. Convenient cleaning system 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. A final advantage of an adjustable coffee spout is that it makes the coffee even tastier, especially the crema layer. There is less chance that air bubbles will get into your crema layer when the spout is closer to your cup. This gives your espresso a fuller and creamier taste. 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.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 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. Anti-Scratch - The drip tray features a stainless steel drip plate with a high-quality integrated anti-scratch plastic insert.

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. 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. 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.

The Latticia OT is the latest fully automatic coffee machine from Melitta, the German brand that makes beautiful fully automatic machines. Although the Latticia OT has been given a One Touch system, it is still a simple and extremely compact device. It’s a bit like the combination of a Melitta Purista and a Melitta Avanza, but it has more options and is even easier to operate. Do you want to know everything about the Melitta Latticia OT? Brewing Strength and Grinding Fineness - For individual tastes, the brewing strength (three settings) and the grinding fineness (five settings) can be adjusted. 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.

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.

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. 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® The coffee machines belonging to the Melitta Premium line are designed for those who aren’t willing to compromise and are always searching for nothing but the best. This line includes appliances of the CI® , LatteSelect® and Barista® series. CI®

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 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

Thanks to LatteSelect® , the coffee brewing process is now even more satisfying: the coffee drink icons have been changed into colour ones that look exactly like the real beverages. This coffee machine includes even more recipes, which can be selected with a single touch — there are as many as 12 different drinks to choose from! Moreover, the drip tray is covered with anti-scratch coating, so it’ll remain scratch-free for much longer. There are 2 additional user profiles here — the total number amounts to 6. Just like in the case of the CI® models, you can choose from two different types of beans (2 bean containers) and prepare 2 milk-based beverages at once. Barista®
