As a coffee lover, you know the joy of sipping a perfectly brewed cup of coffee. Now, imagine bringing that barista-style experience right into your kitchen with the new look Melitta LatteSelect fully automated bean-to-cup coffee machine. We’ve been fans of Melitta on the Dapper Chapper page for many years and this sleek and sophisticated machine is a game-changer for anyone serious about their coffee.
Modern Design Meets Intuitive Functionality
The first thing you’ll notice about the LatteSelect® is its modern aesthetic. Boasting a matt finish, this machine aligns perfectly with contemporary kitchen trends and is available in both silver and frosted black. The one-touch TFT colour programming screen makes navigation a breeze. Whether you’re in the mood for an espresso, café crème, cappuccino, or latte macchiato, you can select your drink with a simple tap on the real-image touch sensor buttons. Plus, with the option to choose from twelve coffee recipes or save a personal favorite, the versatility is impressive.
A Barista’s Dream
Not only does the LatteSelect® cater to classic coffee drinks, but it also offers eight other variations like flat white, long black, and americano through its menu. The My Coffee Memory function is a standout feature, allowing you to save preferences for up to six people. Now, everyone in your household can enjoy their favourite brew with the same ease and precision.
Beyond Coffee: Hot Milk, Froth, and Water
This machine isn’t just about coffee. It allows you to dispense hot milk, milk froth, and hot water at the touch of a button. The high-resolution colour display guides you through each step with photo-realistic videos, ensuring your experience is as simple and enjoyable as possible. Additionally, the machine offers three default settings for optimal brewing temperatures, making it perfect for brewing white, green, black, or herbal teas.
Brewing for the Perfect Cup
The LatteSelect® stands out with its two-chamber bean container, allowing you to select between fine mild coffee beans or aromatic espresso beans. You can adjust the brewing strength to four settings and the grinding fineness to five settings, tailoring your coffee to your exact preference. The Double Cup mode is a handy feature, enabling you to brew two cups simultaneously without compromising on quality.
The machine’s brewing process ensures the perfect development of coffee flavour. The pre-infusion function dampens the freshly ground coffee powder before brewing, ensuring a rich and full-bodied taste. The intense aroma function further enhances the flavour profile without altering the coffee or water quantity.
Authentic Italian Coffee Experience
When talking about coffee, Dapper Chapper readers expect traditional Italian preparation methods to be adhered. For a latte macchiato, the espresso is added after the milk and milk froth, while for a cappuccino, the order is reversed. This attention to detail ensures an authentic taste with every cup.
Easy Cleaning and Maintenance
Hygiene is paramount when it comes to coffee machines, and the LatteSelect® doesn’t disappoint. After each milk-based drink, the machine offers an automatic cleaning option with hot water and steam. The plug-in milk system is dishwasher-safe and fits conveniently in any fridge. The removable water tank with a 1.8-litre capacity features automatic water level monitoring, and the eco-efficient energy-saving function adds to the convenience.
The LatteSelect® also uses PRO AQUA filter technology to prevent lime scale deposits, ensuring your machine remains in top condition. The stainless-steel drip tray with a plastic insert prevents scratching and keeps your cups warm.
