Free Melitta Connect app
Download the Melitta Connect app and you can make use of the ultra-easy Touch and Slide coffee menu that makes it even easier to access the drinks menu on the Barista TS Smart bluetooth coffee machine. Create your own coffee specialities, specify just exactly how much milk you’d like in your latte, and save up to eight personal preferences into the My Coffee Profiles memory with the utmost ease. The machine will prompt you if the hopper is running low on coffee beans in case you need to order more and practical tutorials coach you through cleaning and maintenance programmes when it’s time.
Touchscreen display
With a high resolution colour display, the touch sensitive TFT screen makes the Barista TS really easy to use. With One Touch ‘buttons’ for four classic coffee recipes plus an additional 17 coffees to choose from, it’s easy to select the coffee shop style beverage that you’ve a yen for as super-simple step-by-step instructions take you through the scroll-down menu. There are also one-touch options for warm milk, frothed milk and hot water.
Super-quiet grinder
Winner of a Quiet Mark Award, the super-efficient grinding mechanism is whisper quiet so it won’t disturb the peace while you wait for your morning brew.
Dual coffee bean hoppers
Able to hold two varieties of coffee bean in the dual hopper, Melitta’s Barista TS has Automatic Bean Select, which means that a simple touch lets you choose the bean variety that’s right for each brew… Brilliant if you prefer a milder coffee variety to your partner or you both like to drink decaf in the evenings, and the innovative Aromasafe lid is part of their Aroma PLUS System that helps to preserve the flavour of your beans until they’re ground. It only grinds what’s needed for each coffee you’ve requested and it alerts your mobile phone if the hopper is getting empty. There’s even an integrated coffee chute that lets you spoon pre-ground coffee directly into the machine if you ever run out of beans.
21 coffee options
As well as the classics – espresso, café crème, cappuccino and latte macchiato, there are 17 other coffee specialities in the menu, from a simple lungo or flat white to an espresso macchiato.
Programmable memory
Melitta’s ‘My Coffee Memory’ feature is fully programmable, and able to remember the preferred coffee setting for up to eight people, so you don’t have to tell it how to make your favourite coffee every time you want a brew. You can be sure you’ll have the exact amount of coffee brewed at your preferred temperature, the perfect quantity of milk and your ideal amount of froth every time you open your user profile.
All-in-one dispensing outlet
Sensibly designed, the Barista TS dispenses coffee, milk and hot water in one place, so there’s no need to move your cup while it’s creating your chosen drink. The outlet is height adjustable so you can easily fit latte glasses under the nozzles and there’s an integrated LED light so you can see your cup filling even if you’ve chosen not to put the kitchen lights on. Adjusts up to 14cm H.
Double cup mode
Your CI Touch coffee machine can make two coffees at a time so you can get straight to the serious business of after-dinner conversation without too long a wait.
Additional features
- Italian preparation process – authentic coffee-shop flavours are delivered by strictly following the original Italian recipes for making any style of coffee – so, for a latte macchiato the espresso is added after the milk, exactly as it would be if a trained barista made it for you.
- Plug-in milk system – made to fit in any brand of fridge, the dishwasher safe, insulated milk container attaches to the machine when you’re in the mood for a milky coffee and the CI Touch will take care of heating and frothing the milk to perfection before dispensing it into your drink.
- Removable brewing unit – ultra practical, this brewing unit is easy to remove and simple to clean.
- Easy steam cleaning – any part of the machine that comes into contact with milk can be quickly and easily steam-cleaned after each session.
- PRO AQUA filter technology – your first water filter is included in the box and continuous usage will ensure coffee tastes as it should, and limescale is kept at bay so you only need to descale the CI Touch once a year*. A massive saving in time and faff! And there’s an automatic cleaning and descaling programme to guide you through the cleanup when it’s needed.
- 15 bar pressure
- Energy saving feature – with a programmable energy-saving mode and a Zero-Watt switch, you can choose to switch power off altogether or opt for auto shut-off after 9, 30, 60, 240 or 480 minutes.

About Melitta
Founded in the early 1900s after the invention of the very first documented paper coffee filter, Melitta owes its name to the clever German housewife, Melitta Bentz, who made perforations in a metal cup and lined it with some of her son’s blotting paper to create the earliest known filter coffee. This simple innovation made it easier for thousands of people to make delicious coffee without the risk of bitter grounds getting into their cups and the company have gone from strength to strength in the century that’s passed since her coffee-making ingenuity was first put to the test.
They’re now renowned for their coffee making expertise and work hard to ensure that every aspect of the company is run along the most eco-friendly, energy-efficient lines.
