For coffee lovers who seek exceptional quality and seamless convenience, the Melitta ‘New Look’ Latte Select is a standout performer. Designed with the modern user in mind, this bean-to-cup coffee machine brings barista-level precision to your kitchen while boasting an array of thoughtful features that make every cup a personalised masterpiece.
Design: A Blend of Elegance and Functionality
The Latte Select’s sleek and sophisticated design is available in a choice of frosted black or silver, making it a perfect fit for any kitchen aesthetic. Its compact form doesn’t compromise on practicality, with a height-adjustable outlet accommodating cups of all sizes. LED lighting even adds a touch of flair, presenting your coffee in a way that elevates the experience before you take the first sip.
Performance: Award-Winning Coffee Enjoyment
At the heart of the Latte Select’s appeal is its ability to deliver unparalleled coffee flavour. The pre-infusion function ensures that freshly ground coffee is moistened before brewing, allowing for optimal flavour extraction. Coupled with the “Bean to Cup” feature, which grinds only the necessary amount of beans for each drink, every cup is fresh, aromatic, and bursting with flavour.
The “IntenseAroma” brewing profile further enhances espresso, offering a richer, more robust taste without adjusting coffee or water quantities. For those who enjoy tea, the integrated tea function provides four brewing temperatures tailored to different varieties, ensuring the perfect cup of green, black, herbal, or fruit tea.
Coffee Variety: Something for Everyone
With 12 pre-set coffee recipes, the Latte Select caters to a wide range of preferences. From classics like espresso, café crème, cappuccino, and latte macchiato to options such as flat white, americano, and long black, it ensures variety at the touch of a button. The “Italian Preparation Process” adds authenticity, combining ingredients in the traditional order—espresso last for latte macchiatos and first for cappuccinos.
Customisation and Convenience
Personalisation is key, and the Latte Select excels in this area. The “Manual Bean Select” feature allows you to switch between two types of beans in its dual-chamber bean container. Additionally, an integrated ground coffee chute lets you use pre-ground coffee for even greater flexibility.
You can save customised recipes for up to six people, adjusting brewing strength, grind fineness, coffee quantity, and temperature to suit individual tastes. The “Double Cup” function lets you prepare two cups simultaneously, perfect for sharing a moment of coffee enjoyment.
Ease of Use: A Truly Intuitive Experience
Operation is effortless thanks to the real-image touch sensor buttons, which display drink options clearly. High-resolution videos guide you through preparation, making it simple even for beginners. The machine’s ultra-quiet grinder ensures minimal disruption, making it a great choice for early mornings or shared spaces.
Hygiene and Maintenance: Designed for Simplicity
Cleaning and maintenance are a breeze with the Latte Select. The “Easy Steam Cleaning” function quickly cleans milk system parts using hot water and steam after each use. Components are also removable for thorough cleaning. The brewing unit can be detached for easy interior maintenance, and the machine alerts you when it’s time for cleaning or descaling, guiding you through the process step by step.
Using the Melitta Pro Aqua water filter minimises limescale deposits and ensures you’ll only need to descale the machine about once a year with normal use. The milk container is dishwasher-safe and can be stored in the fridge for added convenience.
Eco-Friendly Features
For conscious consumers, the Latte Select includes programmable energy-saving modes and an Auto OFF function, helping to reduce energy consumption without compromising on performance.
Final Thoughts: A Coffee Machine Like No Other
The Melitta Latte Select is more than just a coffee machine—it’s a comprehensive solution for anyone who values exceptional coffee, customisation, and ease of use. Its sleek design, versatile functionality, and user-friendly features make it a standout choice for coffee enthusiasts and tea drinkers alike. Whether you’re enjoying a solo espresso or hosting friends, this machine ensures every cup is a masterpiece, tailored to your taste.
