Melitta CI Touch

Overview

The Melitta CI Touch combines intuitive touchscreen operation with a comprehensive drink menu that covers everything from ristretto to latte macchiato. The capacitive touch display responds with satisfying immediacy and presents drink options with clear icons that make selection effortless even for first-time users. A standout feature is the My Coffee Memory function, which allows each household member to save their personalized drink preferences under individual profiles — remembering preferred strength, volume, temperature, and milk ratio. The dual-chamber bean hopper accommodates two different roasts, and the machine automatically selects the appropriate one based on your saved recipe. The integrated milk system draws from an insulated milk container that connects directly to the machine and includes automatic steam rinsing after each use. The conical burr grinder offers precise adjustment, and PID temperature control ensures consistent extraction temperatures across drinks. With ten pre-programmed specialty coffee recipes expandable through custom profiles, the CI Touch handles diverse household preferences without compromise. The removable brew group, spacious 1.8-liter water tank, and thoughtful maintenance reminders ensure the machine stays in peak condition with minimal effort. For families and offices where multiple people with different tastes share one machine, the CI Touch personal memory system proves genuinely practical.

The Melitta CI Touch 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 $950, the Melitta CI Touch 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.
