Overview
The Melitta Varianza CSP introduces Melitta's Caffeine-free Selection Process, allowing users to prepare one coffee from beans and the next from pre-ground decaf powder via a dedicated bypass chute — all without swapping beans or modifying grinder settings. This practical feature appeals to households where some members need regular coffee in the morning and decaf in the evening. The integrated auto-cappuccinatore handles milk preparation with adjustable foam density. The Best Aroma System pre-wets grounds before full extraction for enhanced flavor development. PID temperature control maintains brewing consistency. Ten pre-programmed specialties cover the full range from ristretto to latte macchiato. The Varianza CSP represents Melitta's most feature-complete offering below the Barista Smart series.
The Melitta Varianza CSP 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 $850, the Melitta Varianza CSP 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.
In terms of build quality, the Melitta Varianza CSP is a substantial machine, weighing in at 10.0 kg, manufactured in Germany, drawing 1450W of power. With dimensions of 240 x 455 x 360 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 1800 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
