MELITTA SOLO & PERFECT MILK – Compact. Elegant. Perfectly Balanced.
The Melitta Solo & Perfect Milk is a celebration of minimalism, precision, and taste. Designed for coffee lovers who appreciate quality and simplicity, this slimline bean-to-cup machine delivers aromatic espresso and café crème — and with the Auto Cappuccinatore system, it turns milk into silky, barista-style foam in seconds.
At just 20 cm wide, it’s one of the most compact fully automatic coffee machines on the market — yet it offers the same quality, performance, and sophistication Melitta® has perfected over more than a century of German engineering.
Pure Coffee Enjoyment
The Solo & Perfect Milk extracts the finest aromas from freshly ground beans with every brew. Adjust your coffee strength in three levels and set your preferred water volume between 30–220 ml for a perfectly tailored experience. The Double Cup function allows you to prepare two cups simultaneously, while the height-adjustable spout accommodates mugs and glasses of all sizes.
Perfect Milk Every Time
Thanks to the Auto Cappuccinatore, you can enjoy milk-based specialities like cappuccinos and lattes effortlessly. Simply froth the milk, draw your coffee, and savour perfection in every sip. The stainless steel drip tray, energy-saving mode, and automatic cleaning programmes ensure the machine remains as pristine and reliable as your first cup.
