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.
