Coffee is much more than just a hot drink. Real coffee gourmets value the varied aromas and the many different ways of making coffee. For these gourmets, Melitta® has produced the Caffeo Barista® TS, an appliance with an exclusive design, which also impresses by being really convenient and easy to use.
In terms of pricing, the Caffeo Barista TS is another premium model. Like the CI, although you can usually find it for cheaper than this from online stores.
Overview of Features
As the name suggests, Melitta has designed the Caffeo Barista TS to mimic the aromas and flexibility of a coffee shop machine. It also comes with a number of interesting features that aren't found on most bean-to-cup machines - at least those built for the consumer market.
One of these is the automatic bean selection function. The machine has two compartments for beans, and selects the best bean for your coffee. Additionally, the machine has a special seal to maintain the aroma and flavour of your coffee beans.
The Caffeo Barista TS also has a built-in menu. This allows you to select between a variety of different types of coffee, including flat whites, americano and cappuccino.
Other features of the Caffeo Barista TS include dual cup output, memory system for storing up to four settings for coffee, water and milk, automatic descaling function, easy-to-remove brewing unit and an energy saving mode.
Summary
Melitta bean-to-cup coffee machines have a reputation for providing high-quality coffee with minimal stress. Their machines are often expensive, but have a unique style and come with features that can't be found on other consumer models
The Melitta Caffeo Barista TS is an excellent coffee machine with a number of unique features. We love how you can choose between two bean types (although this feature is also found on the CI) and, most importantly, think the model produces excellent coffee. It's not cheap, but if you love coffee then it's worth the money.
