Review
What this product is
Written after the analysis, from the same sources the score is built on: the manufacturer's documentation, available studies and verified owner feedback.
The Latticia OT suits narrow worktops: Melitta gives it as 200 mm wide, 352 mm high and 459 mm deep. The manufacturer's page is exemplary for this category — conical steel grinder with 5 steps, removable brew group, 1.5 litre tank, 250 g bean container, 9.3 kg, 1450 W, automatic switch-off and a 0-watt switch that cuts the machine from the mains. It makes espresso, café crème, cappuccino, latte macchiato, milk foam and hot water; the pump rating is not on the page.
testberichte.de lists Stiftung Warentest 'gut' (2.3) in issue 12/2025 and the same grade in 11/2022, plus ETM Testmagazin at 91.9 % and Konsument at 64 % (sixth of seven). Being re-tested three years apart with the same result is a useful sign of consistency.
The owner picture is mixed. Melitta's shop shows 4.7 out of 5 from 23 verified reviews, but the 459 Amazon reviews aggregated by testberichte.de average 3.8, with 56 % five-star and 19 % one-star — a split that usually points to a minority of faulty or failing units. Melitta's list price is 599 euros; testberichte.de showed retailer offers from 439.99 euros, which changes the value calculation considerably. No noise figure is published, although both the test summary and owners describe the grinder as quiet.
