CI Touch®

The Melitta® CI Touch® prepares a variety of coffee specialities according to original recipes very simply and conveniently. In addition to the best espresso and nine other preset coffee recipes, you can set and save the individual preferences of up to four people. The manual dual-chamber bean container allows you to manually choose between two different varieties of coffee beans – for even more variety.

Pre-brewing function
Melitta's brewing process ensures optimum development of the coffee flavour and therefore excellent coffee enjoyment. Thanks to the pre-infusion function, the freshly ground coffee powder is dampened briefly before the actual brewing process, i.e. before the coffee is brewed with a perfectly adjusted contact time between the water and coffee.

Ten coffee recipes
The four classics, espresso, café crème, cappuccino and latte macchiato, are selected directly with a single, light touch on the touch sensor buttons. Six additional coffee variations such as lungo, ristretto and americano can be selected via the menu.

Italian Preparation Process
The “Italian Preparation Process” ensures a particularly authentic taste as the ingredients are combined in the right order using an original Italian recipe. This means that, for latte macchiato, the espresso is added after the milk and the milk froth. For cappuccino, it is exactly the opposite.

Simple one-touch operation
You can choose and customise selected coffee variations like espresso, café crème, cappuccino and latte macchiato with just one touch on the colour real-image sensor fields – if necessary, even while they are being dispensed. You can also dispense hot milk, milk froth and hot water simply and conveniently with one touch. The step-by-step instructions on the high-resolution TFT colour display ensure simple and intuitive operation.

Ultra-quiet grinder
Low-noise top technology: the steel conical burr grinder in this automatic coffeemaker grinds the coffee beans particularly quietly. Your conversations will no longer be interrupted and you will not wake anyone up when you prepare your coffee in the morning either. For quiet coffee enjoyment at any time you want.

Double Cup function
The “Double Cup” function allows you to prepare two cups of numerous coffee specialities at the same time – with or without milk – and enjoy them in company.

Manual Bean Select
The “Manual Bean Select” function allows you to choose between two different bean varieties. The integrated ground coffee chute also allows you to use ready ground coffee.*

*Note: coffee from the previous variety may be left over in the milk system after you manually switch the coffee beans and should not be left unused. Therefore, the complete switch to the new type will take up to two to three cups – depending on the brewing strength setting.

Height-adjustable all-in-one outlet
The separate nozzles in the outlet for coffee, milk and hot water allow simple preparation of a wide range of beverages. Very simply at the push of a button and without moving the cup. Glasses and large cups also fit under the height-adjustable outlet.

Recipes for four people
This automatic coffeemaker allows you to save custom recipes for up to four people. This means that you will not have to set your personal coffee preferences each time you dispense a beverage.

Four brewing strength settings and five grinding fineness settings
In addition to the brewing strength (four settings) and the grinding fineness (five settings), you can also adjust the temperature and coffee quantity to your individual taste.

Auto Clean & Descaling function
The display tells you when cleaning or descaling is necessary, and guides you through the process with simple step-by-step instructions.

Removable brewing unit
The brewing unit is simple to remove so you can also clean the interior easily.

Easy Steam Cleaning function and plug-in milk system
The “Easy Steam Cleaning” function allows you to clean all milk system parts quickly and hygienically with hot water and steam after beverages are dispensed. Furthermore, you can simply remove them for even more intensive cleaning. The supplied milk container can be kept in the refrigerator and cleaned in the dishwasher.
