Our verdict
The Melitta Barista TS Smart is purpose-built for busy households. Its dual-chamber bean hopper (Automatic Bean Select) switches between two beans on the fly, while My Coffee Memory stores preferences for up to 8 individual users — more than any competitor. Bluetooth connectivity via the Melitta Connect app adds remote control and firmware updates. The Whisper Grinder lives up to its name with notably quiet operation. With 21 pre-set specialties, a removable brewing unit and self-cleaning programs, it's a polished, feature-rich machine at a mid-range price.
