Melitta Barista T Smart

Overview

The Melitta Barista T Smart represents the connected coffee experience, combining Melitta traditional brewing expertise with modern smart home convenience through the Melitta Connect app. This super-automatic features a dual-chamber bean hopper — a distinctive Melitta innovation that lets you store two different coffee varieties and select which one to use for each drink directly from your smartphone or the machine touchscreen. The app unlocks an extensive library of coffee recipes beyond what the physical interface offers, including specialty drinks with customized strength, temperature, and volume parameters. The built-in conical burr grinder delivers consistent particle size across its adjustment range, while the two-cup function lets you prepare two servings simultaneously. An automatic milk system with a dedicated milk container froths and steams milk for lattes, cappuccinos, and flat whites at the touch of a button, with automatic steam cleaning after each milk-based drink. The 1.8-liter water tank provides generous capacity, and the removable brew group ensures thorough maintenance. PID temperature regulation maintains brew water accuracy within tight tolerances. For tech-savvy coffee lovers who appreciate both traditional German engineering and the convenience of app-controlled brewing, the Barista T Smart bridges these worlds elegantly.

The Melitta Barista T Smart comes equipped with PID temperature control for precise brewing, pre-infusion for even extraction. It features a thermoblock boiler system made of stainless steel. The vibratory pump delivers 15.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.
