Melitta CI Touch vs Philips Series 4300 LatteGo
Technical comparison · Bean-to-cup machines
Melitta CI Touch and Philips Series 4300 LatteGo are two home bean-to-cup machines with a short drinks menu. The choice is about milk, an automatic milk tube against a carafe that goes in the dishwasher, and about how many users get a profile.

The differences that matter
- 4 user profiles vs 2 → with more than two people at home the Philips means adjusting settings by hand.
- Dishwasher-safe milk system only on the Philips → the Melitta's milk tube stays out of the dishwasher.
- Depth 47 cm vs 43.3 and 9.25 kg vs 8 → the Philips suits a narrow counter and is easier to move.
Which one to choose
Choose CI Touch if…
there are three or four of you at home and each wants their own dose and coffee length stored in the machine. The trade-off is the milk tube, which does not go in the dishwasher.
Choose Series 4300 LatteGo if…
cappuccino is a daily thing and you want to put the carafe in the dishwasher and forget about it; the machine also takes up less counter space. The trade-off is a shorter list of user memories.
