Award-winning quietness!Interrupt an interesting conversation in the kitchen just because you are making a cappuccino? Angry neighbours when you are grinding espresso beans at 6 o'clock in the morning? With this fully automatic coffee machine there is no need for that because it is one of the world's first fully automatic coffee machines to be awarded the Quiet Mark seal of approval for pleasantly quiet coffee preparation.

Its secret: the low-noise, state-of-the-art technology in the whisper-quiet grinder.

One Touch The CI Touch^® impresses because it is so easy to use. The preset coffee varieties espresso, café crème, cappuccino and latte macchiato can be selected with just one touch. You can also select warm milk, frothed milk or hot water really simply and conveniently with One Touch.

10 Coffee specialities With the CI Touch^® you can enjoy a wide variety of coffee specialities. As well as the 4 classics - espresso, café crème, cappuccino and latte macchiato - 6 other coffee specialities such as lungo, americano and espresso macchiato can be prepared.

Manual Bean SelectTo perfectly prepare numerous coffee specialities, different types of coffee beans are needed to ensure the best possible taste experience. Therefore the CI Touch^® has a two-chamber bean container called "Bean Select" (manual selection), which depending on the recipe and personal taste allows you to select mild coffee beans or strong aromatic espresso beans for example. The Aromasafe^® lid and the tinted container also help preserve the flavour of the coffee beans. The integrated ground coffee chute also gives you the opportunity to use coffee which is already ground.

PRO AQUA Filter technologyIf you use a Melitta^® Pro Aqua Water filter then the CI Touch^® only needs to be descaled once a year. The filtered water not only improves the quality and the flavour of your coffee, but also prevents limescale deposits building up in the water system.
(This is based on brewing six 120 ml cups of coffee a day and changing the filter six times in accordance with the appliance specifications.)

Quiet as a whisper grinder You want to enjoy making your coffee in peace? This is no problem with the quiet as a whisper grinder, it is not only quiet but also especially quick.

Italian Preparation Process The Italian Preparation Process gives you authentic flavour by ensuring that the ingredients are added in the correct order according to the original Italian recipe. So for latte macchiato the espresso is added after the milk and frothed milk and for cappuccino it is the other way round.
