Krups Intuition Préférence+ vs Melitta CI Touch
Technical comparison · Bean-to-cup machines
Krups Intuition Préférence+ and Melitta CI Touch are two machines of the same level, and the choice is clear-cut. On one side a dishwasher-safe milk carafe and more recipes, on the other an automatic milk tube, a pre-ground chute and more profiles.

The differences that matter
- 2 user profiles vs 4 → beyond two people the Krups means adjusting settings by hand.
- Pre-ground chute only on the Melitta → only there can you use decaf powder.
- Dishwasher-safe milk system only on the Krups → the Melitta's tube stays out of the dishwasher.
- Depth 40 cm vs 47 → the Krups fits a shallow counter.
Which one to choose
Choose Intuition Préférence+ if…
milk is central to your day and you want a carafe that goes in the dishwasher; with 15 programmed drinks the menu is wider. There is no pre-ground chute: decaf powder cannot be used.
Choose CI Touch if…
there are three or four of you and now and then you need decaf or a pre-ground coffee: the profiles and the chute are there. Milk comes through a tube that does not go in the dishwasher, and the menu is shorter.
