The pre-brewing function ('pre-infusion') briefly moistens the freshly ground coffee grounds before the actual brewing process, before your coffee is brewed with the ideal contact time of water and coffee. This ensures a particularly aromatic coffee taste.

This fully automatic coffee machine impresses with the best coffee taste, cutting-edge technology and its discreet, timeless and space-saving design. At just 20 cm wide, the Melitta® Solo® & Milk is one of the narrowest fully automatic coffee machines on the market and is guaranteed to fit into any kitchen.

The Solo® & Milk has a milk frothing nozzle that enables the preparation of fine-pored milk froth. With the Pannarello, you can prepare aromatic coffee and milk drinks in just two steps. Simply hold the milk under the milk frothing nozzle, froth the milk and mix it with the freshly brewed coffee according to the recipe. Milk can also be heated on request, ideal for preparing cocoa.

Espresso and café crème can be easily selected using the direct brewing buttons. In addition to the coffee strength (three levels) and grind (five levels), the temperature and amount of coffee can also be adjusted to suit your personal taste - even during the brewing process if required.

Regular cleaning is important for the proper functioning, best coffee taste and a long service life of your fully automatic coffee machine. That's why the Solo® & Milk informs you when cleaning or descaling should be carried out. As the brew group can be easily removed, the interior can also be cleaned. We also recommend using a Melitta® Pro Aqua water filter. This not only filters the water before each brewing process to ensure an unadulterated coffee aroma and optimum taste, but also prevents limescale deposits in the water circuit.

Our free CompanionApp will help you use your automatic coffeemaker. Whether helpful step-by-step instructions for cleaning and descaling, interesting information on coffee enjoyment or easy to use service functions: simply download the app and discover the many possibilities offered by your automatic coffeemaker.

For the sake of the environment: our Melitta® automatic coffeemakers have a practical Auto OFF function in addition to a programmable energy-saving mode. This allows you to set the automatic switch-off time for your coffeemaker – for particularly economic usage. Of course, you can alternatively switch the appliance off manually via the 0-Watt switch. We have also developed our own sustainability label called Mission Eco&Care. It will help you choose an appliance that guarantees conscious enjoyment.

It is important to clean your automatic coffee maker on a regular basis to ensure it works perfectly, gives you the best coffee flavour and has a long life. The display on your Barista TS Smart® tells you when cleaning or descaling is required, and guides you through the process with simple step-by-step instructions. The brewing unit is simple to remove so you can also clean the interior easily. Furthermore, we recommend using a Melitta® Pro Aqua water filter. It filters the water every time you dispense a beverage ensuring true coffee flavour and optimal taste. It also prevents limescale deposits in the water circuit meaning you only need to descale your automatic coffee maker once a year.* * This figure is based on a 120 ml cup fill level with six dispensing processes per day and six filter changes according to the appliance information.

Since hygiene – above all with milk – plays a very important role, cleaning is particularly efficient and fast with this automatic coffee maker. The “Easy Steam Cleaning” function featured in the Barista TS Smart® cleans all parts of the milk system hygienically with hot water and steam at the touch of a button. The milk system is also removable. The milk container supplied can be connected to the right or left of the dispensing outlet, easily stored in the refrigerator and cleaned in the dishwasher.
