Classic recipe
A feature of such a drink is not only a soft creamy taste, but also an exquisite feed. After the components of Latte were prepared in a coffee machine, they are alternately placed in a high glass glass of conical shape.
We can cook this cocktail using an automatic device in several ways.
Two layers
Traditional Latte in a coffee machine is prepared in 2 stages. First you need to make a strong espresso of ground arabica, water and sugar (optional). Then you need to start beaten milk. The second stage needs to be completed after the product turns into a lush foam.
If you use a device not equipped with Panarella, then you will have to whip milk manually or using a blender.
Take a glass in which you will serve a drink. Place a milk blank in it. Further, a thin stream must be introduced by espresso. This is required so that the levels do not mix.
Three layers
It is more difficult to cook such a latte in a coffee machine. You will need 3 blanks. whipped milk, espresso and lush cream foam. It is recommended to choose quality products, otherwise the cocktail will turn out to be tasteless and harmful to health. Add sugar not to the finished drink laid out in the glass in layers, but in the coffee blank.
A great addition to the cocktail will be chocolate or citrus chips.
Convenience and functionality
Like any other complex technical device, the coffee machine cannot be described with two words “big” and “black”. Let’s take a look at its main technical characteristics, and only then move on to the study of its functions.
Melitta Caffeo Barista t
But most importantly, of course, you learn not from the language of cold numbers, but during the operation of the machine. And you admire how universal there can be a coffee machine if it predicts those desires that you could even have come to your mind. Take at least the source material, coffee. Melitta Caffeo Barista T is designed to work with coffee beans, and for them there are two whole tanks. This means that you can immediately fall asleep two different varieties, after which you can choose the one that you have a soul here and now. Non.trivial and generous move. but the Germans from Melitta seemed few, and in a pair to a two.chamber container there is another, smaller, less for ground coffee. They are presented in the photo below-a large two-chamber, and followed by a small container with a red and white label:
A water tank lurked in the lateral part of the car. In appearance, he does not take up a lot of space and seems even small:
But in fact, it is roomy (1.8 liters!) a plastic bucket in the form of a parallelepiped, which is equipped with a comfortable handle. Add to this the fact that the two.chamber container for grains mentioned above has a total capacity of as many as 270 grams, and the main idea of the creators of Melitta Caffeo Barista T becomes clear.
Melitta solo & perfect coffee machine
This machine will require you to certain care at the very beginning (when you first turn on, you will have to choose not only the language, but also indicate the hardness of the water, after which the machine will offer to start the flushing procedure), but then, filling the corresponding compartments of the unit, you can even do not even think about whether there is water or coffee in it. A good opportunity for those who drink coffee often, or for offices, where few people are hunting in details to deal with a coffee machine, but it is constantly operated.
As usual with Melitta, there were no more additional functions, some of which can be safely considered revolutionary. I already talked about a two.chamber container for coffee, and besides it, Melitta Caffeo Barista T can boast of the Intensearoma function, which adds another phase to the cooking process, as a result of which the drink becomes more saturated and fragrant with the same amount of coffee and water.
Another feature is the My Coffee function, in fact, the opportunity to remember the preparation settings of coffee, which are right for you (and three more for your friends or family members) in order to prepare a drink on an individual recipe without wandering in menu grids. As I already said, there will be no such functions in the coffee machines of the future. all the settings can be changed “on the fly” on the smartphone. but for the coffee machine the present is a really useful opportunity.
- The ability to cook the main (according to the company’s engineers) varieties of coffee with one click on the touch panel and use the menu for cooking more than a dozen more coffee drinks,
- The original process of making coffee drinks with milk, which will make sure that your coffee is added to your cappuccino after milk foam, and in Latt McKoyato. in front of it,
- the ability to prepare two cups of coffee at the same time,
- and so on.
A separate surprise awaits you after you cook a cappuccino or other drink with milk. When the coffee is ready, the car will offer to carry out quick cleaning. Those who prepared the cappuccino know that the milk foam, cooling, has the usual to harden, and in order to remove it without effort, it is advisable to wash the cappuccino immediately after its preparation. The German “Barista” takes this concern for itself.
First you must insert the end of the hose, which connects the machine and the milk tank, into a special hole on its pallet. You think the color display is just a marketing move and no one needs a lot. Then look at the photo below. everything is immediately made understandable without additional clarification.
During the fastest cleaning, the car looks epic and even somewhat infernal: it exposes the clubs of hot steam, cleaning all the elements that are in contact with milk, so at that moment it is better not to approach it. but enjoy your cappuccino and the fact that all the dirty work The car does for you. The future has already come!
However, you still have to do the rest of the cleaning yourself, although the creators of the car and then tried to make your task as easier as possible. The brewing unit, for example, can be easily removed so that it is more convenient to wash, at the same time cleaning the car from the inside. The pallet also gets in one motion. dirty water separately, coffee cake separately.
I didn’t talk about it for the second time, but according to the possibilities of subtle settings, Melitta Caffeo Barista T is not only not inferior, but even exceeds Melitta Caffeo Varianza CSP, and if you not only value and know how to cook coffee, but also adore new gadgets, you Waiting for more than one evening of pleasant troubles of tuning coffee machine for itself. If you do not need this, the factory settings will cope with the task no worse, which makes this machine a suitable option for everyone. Of course, from those who can afford it-Melitta Caffeo Barista T belongs to premium vehicles, and the price has appropriate.
Verdict
Stylish, expensive, difficult in functionality, but easy to use a coffee machine for each day for those who are seriously obsessed with passion for invigorating coffee or for small offices. If you have where to put Melitta Caffeo Barista T and you think that at least half of the functions presented in it will be useful for you, this unit will become a faithful companion of your personal coffee breaks, and traditional German reliability and attentiveness to trifles allow us to hope that This is for a long time.
Elegant and stylish design convenient integration even more built.in recipes. Large capacity of water tanks and coffee, the possibility of finely adjusting the cooking of coffee, factory settings are optimal for most varieties of coffee. The ability to simultaneously prepare two cups. The ability to choose from two varieties of coffee a thought.out cleaning system of all elements of the machine Removable tank for Milk Fast steam cleaning

Comment: The instructions indicate that the cappuccino must be washed through the hose for the supply of milk in fact it must be disassembled every time that it would then prepare just hot milk instead of the foam did not become a surprise
Advantages: compactness is striking all guests. But the greatest advantage is the perfect delicious coffee!
Disadvantages: water really ends quickly, but I do not consider this a disadvantage with such sizes.
Advantages:.Design (took gray) and sides black but it is not terrible, well suits those who have little space.Easy to wash, but the maintenance is straining, but the consumables are inexpensive in Citilinkeuber from the package.Pretty nimble
Flaws:.Small water/grain containers/waste. The consequence of the compactness of the machine apparently. Most tired of picking up water, t.to. The removable container is inconveniently dressed back with water. I already think to spend a tap for it from the filter)) So if there is a place, take a bigger car, not only during a prayer of different types of cleaning, you need to carry out except automatic (daily, weekly, once 2 months/200 cups, from scale depending on water hardness) On average, this takes away from 30 minutes per week. Hard water, pour waterproof after a triple geyser filter. This does not help a coffee machine very often asks cleaning from scale. According to the instructions every 3 months, in fact 3 weeks.
Comment: I took on NG in December 2015 in Mosmart for 25900 r. With a discount and free delivery. For this money, a quite good device. In terms of price/quality ratio, I put 5 points. The disadvantages are not critical, they are not reflected in the coffee itself. Now in March 2016 it costs from 32 thousand. It is already worth considering.

Disadvantages: Of course there are disadvantages (given the experience of using Delonghi): 1. Small containers for coffee, under water, 3/5 from normal. It is not comfortable. Excessive body movements appear. 2. Extremely not convenient location of the container under the water-behind, under the left hand. In the Italians he is in front and under the right. You have to add water without removing from a regular place. If the kitchen furniture is on top / left, it becomes difficult to do it. In addition, it is not convenient to put it on the table to pour water. The release of water is interfered. 3. Menu. Somewhat complicated. In machines with a display, make various procedures, for example, the cleaning algorithm, is much easier. But this is a matter of habit. four. Another unconditional minus, or rather inconvenience: the tray that collects water (except for washing when turning on/off) is extremely inconvenient to pour it, despite the fact that it is often necessary to do this (compared to Delonghi)!! Not comfortable, not convenient.
Comment: I highly recommend who is important with the taste of espresso in the first place! As well as the one whom the budget is running out and the cappuccino is not so important. I recommend who can stand on the table and not on the kitchen countertop (although you can add water from the bottle). I suppose you can clean it in time or two. There is a video in YouTube how to do it. Purely my subjective opinion.
Vitaly Vasilievich February 21, 2022, and region \ Experience: several months
Advantages: 1. I really like coffee that this coffee machine cooks. 2. Good coffee grinder with adjusting grinding degrees. 3. Lack of cappuccinator in any form. In fact, this is a huge plus. four. The understandable indication of everything necessary, while there is no sophisticated display, lifting the price. 5. For an automatic coffee machine, quite compact. 6. I like how it looks like.
Disadvantages: 1. I do not have a relationship with the side wall very much, which must be removed to periodically rinse the tender block. Here I take it off quickly, and usually I usually insert it from the first time. I do not know why.
Comment: as I understand it, the main commentary requires p. 3. From the experience of owning a previous coffee machine, they came to the conclusion that everything that is required of this unit is required. It is good to cook coffee. Rest. no need. Kapucchuchinator built into a coffee machine. This is an extra part, prone to breakdowns and leading to repair flying into a penny. Plus for the duration of the coffee machine is not available. Plus, in the case of an automatic cabinator, there is a problem with milk residues that strive to start spoiling and rot. And in a manual cappuccacon I do not see sense at all. It’s easier, cheaper and more reliable to separately buy an electric beaten for milk. IMHO, of course. Well, this is a home car, not for the office. The office needs more water tank and waste. And for the house the most.
Grigory Suranovich October 24, 2021, and region \ Experience: several months
Advantages: black coffee machine in a minimalist style looks very juicy in almost any interior. There are no complaints during a month. It is perfectly cooking coffee. Can pour one or two cups. Two different modes. Adjustment of the volume with a steeple, and the stronger switch of the button.
Disadvantages: someone may not like noisiness, but in general it is acceptable. The kit does not include a water filter.
Comment: pour water from under the filter into the tank or buy it separately. A pallet with sprouted water and waste below, conveniently removed. The machine is cleaned before cooking and after it.
Alexander Martynov October 23, 2021, and region \ Experience: several months
Konstantin Steshenko October 21, 2021, and region \ Experience: several months
Advantages: advantages in terms of importance for me (all comparisons and conclusions I make based on the experience of simultaneous operation with the Jura F50 machine at work):. prepares very tasty coffee. European assembly, and it is felt (in Portugal or Switzerland). It is convenient to adjust the volume of coffee, if necessary, in front of each cup (a simple swivel lever, unlike JURA which requires this through the program settings). quieter (tangibly quieter at the time of grinding and water supply, apparently the pump is isolated better). Convenient tray to extract waste and water after washing. The height for different cups is conveniently regulated. Very compact. A large volume for water, even when using Americao, is enough for 3-5 days. the cost is three times lower than the Jura with similar functionality. Inexpensive stable tablets for cleaning the system looks very beautiful in the modern interior (for my taste) no nozzle for the capricum and this is a huge plus, there are less and less such cars (I use a separate Kapuchucker Nespresso Aeroccino 3, it is aesthetic and copes well with homemade nut milk)
Disadvantages: there were no shortcomings for several months of operation, there are only some features:.The case is made of glossy black plastic, requires wiping with a soft cloth or towel, otherwise you can scratch the container not very large (as a result of compact sizes), since my wife and I drink a lot, we have to add a day every other day.
Comment: buying a coffee machine was caused by pleasant emotions from the operation of another Jura F50 machine (I bought it to work and appreciated the quality of the finished drink. He’s great). After several weeks of pleasure, I decided to buy a car and home, I began to watch a jura without a cappuccinator since I do not need this option, it only increases the size of the device, requires service and can not cope with high.quality vegetable milk (especially home production). Apparently it was no coincidence that I stumbled upon advertising Melita, was amazed at the dimensions and price. Without hesitation, I decided to buy with my thoughts that if I don’t like it. I will use it on trips since it is quite compact. As a result, I am very pleased with the quality of the drink, the convenience of operation and the appearance. My wife has a special relationship with coffee drinks, units of decent restaurants can satisfy her requirement for temperature, fortress and taste of the drink, even in the “coffee” countries I was satisfied! For me this is more than enough! I close my organoleptic requests 100%. Several blacks with varying degrees of frying and mono varieties showed themselves excellent. Therefore, I sincerely recommend buying! All good!
Types of coffee machines Melita
Melitta coffee machines, how to choose? The German company supplies two types of products to the market:
A distinctive feature of such devices is the presence of a pre.installed coffee grinder. This allows you to adjust the level of the drink strength, choose the right recipe, and also maintain the taste of ground coffee.
Help: Before coffee enters the horn, the grains are pre.chopped in a coffee grinder. The rest of the principle is identical to rye devices.
There are grain devices equipped with a cappuccino. an element that foams milk at a professional level. Air foam is designed to prepare such species as:
The principle of operation of machines Melita. grinded the grains, tamping into the filter, and then a steam is happening. The user is available to adjust the degree of grinding and the choice of portion volume.
A simple design with a heating element and a water capacity located on the back wall. The compartment for filling ground grains is located in the upper part for convenient filling. Additionally, the device has a control board, however, in economical models, electronics are regulated by a single button. turning on and off. It is noteworthy that such devices create only one type of drink. Americano.
Melitta coffee machine selection criteria
Automatic procedure for creating a fragrant drink saves user time. Melitis models are characterized by simple use, but they have a complex design.
The speed of cooking and the strength of the final product depend on the power of the device. As a rule, devices are selected for home needs ~ 1 kW. Office loads require high performance parameters up to 2 kW.
Additionally, the speed of work and the volume of portion should be taken into account. So, for a family of 2-3 people, there are enough cooking four cups of strong coffee.
Simplicity of use and management
There is no need to look into the instructions every time: an intuitive control panel with a built-in symbolic or color TFT display (depending on the model) makes use completely simple, even if you first deal with a coffee machine.
The One-Touch function is the opportunity to choose and prepare your favorite drink with one click of the button: classic varieties of coffee, warm milk, milk foam and hot water-suddenly you want not only coffee, but also cocoa or cups of tea? As for coffee, you can use the “recipe” function to select one of the six coffee drinks (in Caffeo Passione One Touch and Caffeo Varianza CSP).
The size of the cup can be selected using one of the three software buttons (small, medium and large). Pressing one of these buttons for several seconds will save the desired amount of coffee in the settings.
Double Cup mode will make two cups of the selected drink at the same time.
Five settings of the level of fortress (including the “Extranaming without preliminary cooking” mode) will provide precisely the saturation of the drink that you prefer. The temperature of coffee is programmed with three settings. 87 °/90 °/93 °.
How to Use the Melitta Look V Filter Coffee Machine
Economy and energy efficiency
Caffeo Passione coffee machines have several opportunities to save electricity at once: this is a special programmable energy saving mode, automatic shutdown function and manual switch “0 WATT”. Patron for cups with passive heating does not require unnecessary electricity consumption.
A special indicator on the display shows when it is time to start the cleaning or decalcination program, you can choose them in the electronic menu or press the automatic cleaning button on the control panel. nothing more is required of the user.
The brewing unit is easily disconnected so that, for example, once a year, you can clean the car more carefully: the block itself and the inner surface of the device.
Which coffee machines are the best?
The European Test Center conducted an international study of twenty models of coffee vehicles. They were tested according to ninety points, among which, such as: the temperature of coffee, the taste and quality of the drink, the speed of cooking and many other parameters. In addition to the drink itself, the quality, color and aesthetics of the foam, which should be beautiful, brilliant and have a golden or brownish shade, were subjected to the study.
Based on the results of the study, it was revealed that the speed of cooking coffee does not guarantee that its quality will be excellent, and the ideal coffee machine can make an equally high.quality drink both for the first time and in the two hundred hundredth. As for the best models that have gained the most positive assessments in this unusual study, it is worth noting that they included Melitta coffee devices. About the most popular and sold models of coffee machines of this company will be discussed in this review.

Basic errors when choosing a coffee machine
There are several misconceptions regarding this useful device that distort the ideas about it and give false information about its functions and features.
- Metal case is the most reliable. The most significant difference between the plastic case and the metallic is only the final weight of the device. a coffee machine with a metal case has a weight of more than 10 kg. Of course, such an impressive device is not so easy to rearrange from place to place, unlike a device with a plastic case. In the manufacture of coffee machines, high.strength plastic is used, resistant to scratches, so it is easy to keep in order and cleanliness. Metal, moreover, is more so praying, which obliges to monitor its perfect appearance. Models with a plastic case have not such a high cost, unlike “metal”, while both options may look equally modern, stylish and solid.
- The best millstones are ceramic. There are legends that metal millstones heat up so hard during the operation of the coffee grinder that coffee grains begin to burn and the drink eventually has a repulsive flavor. In fact, the temperature of the heating of metal and ceramic parts is approximately the same, and differs by a maximum of 4 degrees, which is not a serious difference that can affect the quality of the drink. And only the cost is a truly significant difference-ceramic millstones have a higher price.
- A sign of the high quality of the apparatus. its noiselessness. This is not true, since the device is multifunctional, performs different types of work, some of which cannot be absolutely silent. It is known that the coffee grinder is not quiet. it, one way or another, produces a certain noise while grinding coffee grains. Inexpensive and budget models work a little louder than their expensive counterparts only because premium models have a sealed metal case, which provides good sound insulation.
- The coffee machine works with any grain. This is not so. coffee grains should be dry and not aromatic, since grain, which has a fragrance, for example, chocolate, can disable a coffee apparatus. It’s all about impregnating aromatized grains, which makes them sticky, which affects the work of the coffee grinder. particles of grains stick to the millstones and quickly clog the device.
SERVICE
The flushing program for the coffee supply channel is automatically carried out after each coffee machine is turned on and before each shutdown. Test strip to determine the stiffness of water. It is recommended to clean the pipe cleaning after each preparation of the drink with milk foam. Carried out manually or in a dishwasher.
Once a week, it is recommended to clean the cooking device: pull it out and rinse under running water.
Every two months (after 200 cups of coffee) it is recommended to turn on the automatic cleaning program. This requires the use of special melitta cleaning tablets. The program takes 15 minutes. Although the program is called automatic, you will have to take an active part in the procedure: to extract and rinse the hob, press the pair button, clean the pallet, etc. D.
The scale for removing the scale takes about 30 minutes and also requires a number of manipulations with the machine.
Impression
Almost half of the instructions are devoted to recommendations for caring for the machine. If all this is performed as the instruction requires, then it is easy to turn into a slave of coffee machine. We think that most of the owners of this device do not even know how to carefully care for it, content with automatic flushing, which the machine performs at each turning on/disconnecting and rare cleaning from scale.
PECULIARITIES
Water filter Melitta Claris, designed for 2 months of work. You can turn on the coffee machine without it, then you must definitely check the level of water hardness and install it.
Note by Melitta: If filtered water is poured into a coffee machine, then there is no need to set the level of water hardness.
Impression
Although the minimum selection of a portion is 30 ml, the dispenser is installed for quite high dishes. In this coffee machine, statistics of the number of cooked cups are not conducted.
The possibility of changing the thinness of the grinding. three provisions of the “thin/medium/large” regulator. Do not use ground coffee.
