MELITTA® CAFFEO PASSIONE OT – Precision. Perfection. Passion.

The Melitta® Caffeo Passione OT embodies over a century of German coffee innovation — a seamless union of technology, craftsmanship, and design. Compact, elegant, and powerful, it transforms the art of coffee-making into a refined daily ritual. Crafted for true coffee connoisseurs, this fully automatic machine offers the ultimate convenience, creating barista-quality beverages at the touch of a button.

The Essence of Effortless Coffee

Whether it’s an Espresso, Cappuccino, or Latte Macchiato, the Passione OT’s One-Touch function prepares your favourite drink instantly. With ten pre-set variations and six additional menu options — including Ristretto, Lungo, and Americano — it brings authentic coffee variety into your home. The Aroma Extraction System (AES) optimises flavour by pre-wetting the coffee grounds before brewing, ensuring every cup is aromatic, balanced, and full-bodied.

Tailored to Your Taste

Personalise every cup with adjustable coffee strength (5 levels), grind size (5 levels), temperature settings (85°C, 90°C, 95°C), and water volume (25–220 ml). Brew two cups at once with the Double Cup function, and enjoy a quiet yet powerful conical steel grinder that ensures optimal precision. The height-adjustable spout accommodates various cup sizes, complemented by elegant LED cup lighting for a refined finishing touch.

• Blackbeancoffee.africa does not perform warranty repairs and is not a technical service provider for the equipment sold. We will facilitate where possible.
• All technical or warranty-related matters are referred directly to the relevant brand supplier’s technical support team for specialist assessment and assistance.
• If, following inspection or assessment by an authorised service agent, it is determined that the reported issue is the result of user error, incorrect installation, misuse, maintenance failure, or any cause other than a manufacturing or material defect, the warranty claim will be declined and the customer will be liable for all applicable call-out fees, diagnostics, labour, parts, and repair costs, where applicable. The attending technician will bill directly for payment from the client.

3. Service Agent Coverage & Location

• Supplier-appointed service agents are typically located in major centres such as Johannesburg, Pretoria & Cape Town, as well as selected regional centres.
• Coverage in outlying or remote areas may be limited.
• Where on-site support is not available due to distance, and telephonic support is insufficient, customers located more than 50 km from the nearest authorised service centre may be required to deliver or courier the equipment to the nearest appointed service agent for assessment.

4. Consumer Protection Act (CPA) – Defective Goods

• Where goods fail to comply with the Consumer Protection Act, 2008 or show a manufacturing defect, we will repair, replace, or take back the goods, subject to confirmation of the defect by the supplier. The supplier assessment will be final.
• The defect must be reported within 24 hours of becoming apparent.
• The defect must result from faulty design or manufacture.
• Goods may be required to be returned to the supplier or an authorised service agent for inspection and confirmation.

If the supplier confirms a defect:

If goods are repaired or replaced, no additional claim may be made against us under statute, common law, or otherwise in respect of the defect.

• In such cases, equipment may be collected and returned to the supplier or you may be directed to the nearest authorised service agent.
