Coffee enjoyment at a royal level – Melitta Professional & Real Madrid

From vision to reality

The path to perfect coffee enjoyment began long before the first espresso was served. In close coordination with Real Madrid and Technimel, Melitta Professional planned and implemented the installation of 60 high-performance XT6 fully automatic machines and 150 Melitta® Barista TS machines. The perfect solution for every need within the stadium. The logistics were just as impressive as the tireless efforts of everyone involved during the planning phase: every piece of equipment was delivered, set up and precisely tested. And always with the goal of absolute perfection.

Training for Excellence

But technology alone does not create moments of pleasure. That's why the experts from Melitta and Technimel trained Real Madrid's service staff intensively. Baristas, service staff and event managers learned to get the best out of every bean – from the perfect crema to the lovingly served cappuccino. The result: a team that serves coffee with the same passion with which the fans cheer on their club. 

Magical moments on match day – and beyond

On match days, the Bernabéu is transformed into a temple of emotions. More than 84,000 fans fill the stands, while up to 10,000 VIP guests enjoy Melitta coffee specialties in exclusive boxes and lounges. Whether it's an intense ristretto before kick-off or a creamy cappuccino at half-time – every cup is a moment of pleasure that meets the highest standards of the world's most successful football club.

But the Melitta experience does not end with the final whistle. At more than 300 events a year, from conference rooms to training grounds, the machines and the service team ensure consistently the highest coffee quality with the greatest possible flexibility – 365 days a year.

Coffee & Football – A Perfect Combination

What connects millions of people around the world? The love of football – and the joy of a good cup of coffee.
