Frequently asked questions
Melitta Professional has been shaping the coffee experience since 1908. That heritage carries through to our German-made coffee machines, where engineering quality and refined craftsmanship are built into equipment designed for professional service.
We also recognise that no two cafés or bakeries operate in the same way. Each solution is configured around your coffee offer, service requirements, and the way your team works behind the counter.
The Cafina® Viva and Cafina® Life ranges share much of the technology that supports precise espresso preparation. Both use patented Aroma Perfect technology and a micro fine screen, while Soft Pre-Infusion allows the coffee grounds to bloom before extraction for fuller aroma development.
The Cafina® Viva is designed for operators looking for flexibility and control across demanding service periods. It is available in one-, two-, and three-group configurations, with Barista Steam providing temperature-controlled milk frothing. For busy cafés, these features make it easier to manage different volumes without moving away from a traditional portafilter setup.
The Cafina® Life and Life High Cup place more emphasis on precise temperature control and visibility during service. Brewing temperatures can be individually adjusted, while the digital display helps baristas monitor run-out time. The High Cup version also accommodates taller cups, including 16 oz takeaway cups, which can suit cafés and bakeries serving larger drinks.
Yes. Melitta Professional portafilter machines require a water connection as part of the installation.
Our team can configure the machine and any attachments around your site, while checking water quality and carrying out electrical testing before operation. We can also set individual recipes to suit the coffees you plan to serve, so the machine is prepared for your menu.
