Overview
The Melitta Barista TS Smart sits at the apex of the Barista Smart line, adding the innovative Bean Select system that takes dual-hopper convenience to the next level. Where the T Smart offers two bean compartments, the TS Smart adds a separate powder chute for pre-ground decaf or flavored coffee — effectively giving you three coffee options at any time without swapping beans. The machine connects via Bluetooth to the Melitta Connect app, providing access to an ever-expanding recipe database and allowing you to create and save personalized drink profiles with precise control over every parameter. The high-quality steel conical burr grinder runs through its range of settings quietly and consistently. The integrated auto-cappuccinatore handles milk preparation with impressive precision, creating silky microfoam for lattes and dense cappuccino froth with equal ease. An automatic cleaning program runs after every milk drink, maintaining hygiene standards effortlessly. The large color display guides you through drink selection and maintenance routines intuitively. With its 1.8-liter water tank, removable brew group for easy washing, and robust build quality that Melitta is known for, the TS Smart justifies its premium positioning by delivering genuine versatility and connected convenience that simpler models cannot match.
The Melitta Barista TS 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.
Priced at $1,100, the Melitta Barista TS Smart is designed for serious home baristas who want café-quality espresso. As a super-automatic machine, it handles everything from grinding to extraction at the touch of a button — perfect for convenience without sacrificing quality.
