Melitta Caffeo Passione One Touch espresso machine

Attention coffee lovers: Do you want a delicious cappuccino, café au lait or latte macchiato without spending a lot of time and energy? With the Caffeo Passione One Touch, no coffee wishes remain unfulfilled.

Ten preset coffee specialities and setting options for strength, pressure and brewing temperature offer you endless possibilities.

Choice and quality

Simply choose between espresso, café crème, cappuccino, latte macchiato, ristretto, lungo, Americano, espresso macchiato, caffè latte or café au lait. With the Bean to Cup function, the right amount of coffee beans is always ground and the powder is used up immediately. The coffee is therefore always prepared with freshly ground beans.

With the various settings, you can adjust the Caffeo Passione so that it precisely meets your personal coffee requirements. For example, the ideal water temperature for preparing a cup of espresso is between 88 and 92 degrees. With the Caffeo Passione, you can choose between three temperature settings of 87 °C, 90 °C or 93 °C. There are also 5 coffee strength settings to choose from. Coffee preparation has never been more individual!

Easy cleaning

You probably want to spend as little time as possible cleaning your espresso machine. Fortunately, the Caffeo Passione has an automatic cleaning, descaling and rinsing programme, a special cleaning programme for the milk system and a stainless steel drip grid.

Last but not least, there are a number of nice extras that make the Caffeo Passione even more valuable. For example, you can choose between milk foam and warm milk and heat water separately for making tea. There is a practical tray for preheating cups and a removable water tank with a capacity of 1.2 litres.

Frequently asked questions and answers

Who can I contact if my Melitta Caffeo Passione One Touch is faulty?

It is best to contact Melitta's consumer service directly, as this is the quickest way. But you can of course also contact us. Melitta's consumer service is available by e-mail and telephone. You will also receive a loan machine during the warranty period (2 years) in case the machine does need to be serviced.

What makes this Melitta machine better than a Jura in the same price range?

The price-performance ratio is particularly good here. This machine has everything a fully automatic machine needs, including automatic milk preparation. In addition, Melitta has the advantage over other brands of a removable brew group, which makes the necessary maintenance (e.g. rinsing the brew group under running water) very easy. You can also set the temperature in 3 stages, the strength in 5 stages and the coffee grind in 5 stages.

What is the advantage of this Melitta Caffeo Passione One Touch over a Melitta Caffeo Passione F530-101?

The Melitta Caffeo Passione One Touch (F531) has the great advantage that you can prepare all milk preparations such as cappuccino and latte macchiato automatically at the touch of a button with the milk container supplied (this is called the one-touch function). With the F530, you have to prepare the coffee and milk foam separately. The Melitta Caffeo Passione One Touch also has 10 preset coffee specialities and a colour TFT display.

What is the approximate lifespan of this appliance in years if about 5 cups are brewed per day?

The average lifespan is between 5 and 8 years for each type and brand of fully automatic machine. The final lifespan depends heavily on the use and, above all, the maintenance of the machine. Regular daily use of the machine, for example, has a positive effect on this service life. Timely cleaning and, above all, descaling is very important. The Melitta Caffeo Passione One Touch indicates in good time when this is necessary.

If something breaks (e.g. the grinder), can it be replaced? And if so, can you do it yourself or do I need a mechanic? Or is it better to buy a new machine straight away because of the high repair costs?

In most cases, repair is the best option. Experience shows that a machine can last a long time and that repairs are always cheaper. However, this must be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Is descaling necessary?

The descaling warning is issued automatically based on the water hardness. You can programme this hardness so that the machine only displays the warning very sporadically at the lowest level. The machine does not stop working and you can continue to make coffee.

Can the foam pipe be cleaned automatically?

Yes, this is done by "Easy Steam Cleaning" for quick and hygienic cleaning of the milk system after each use

Does this machine also have a separate compartment for ground decaffeinated coffee?

No, this function is not available.
