DIT’O, India’s first self-cleaning filter coffee machine, is set to redefine hospitality coffee service with its launch at AAHAR 2025, Chennai Trade Centre (19–21 September, Stall N2-12). Designed for hotels, cafés, corporates, and the HoReCa segment, DIT’O combines tradition with cutting-edge technology to deliver authentic South Indian filter coffee at scale.

For decades, serving real filter coffee consistently has been a challenge, messy setups, hygiene concerns, and heavy manpower requirements often compromised quality. DIT’O addresses these challenges with a host of innovations.

DIT’O brings together innovation and convenience with features designed to redefine authentic filter coffee service. Its self-cleaning technology ensures zero manual effort and a fully hygienic operation, while IoT-enabled access allows for smart monitoring, usage tracking, and seamless control. An in-built refrigerator keeps milk and decoction fresh, safe, and perfectly chilled, complemented by a pest- and insect-free design that guarantees zero contamination. Most importantly, every cup is served with consistent taste and temperature at 83°C, delivering the true soul of filter coffee every single time.

The launch in Chennai, the home of South Indian filter coffee offers a first look at this groundbreaking innovation. Media and hospitality professionals can experience live demos at the stall and access exclusive conversations with the founder on the future of coffee automation.

With DIT’O, filter coffee is no longer just a beverage. It represents culture, comfort, identity, and now innovation, hygiene, and efficiency bringing the soul of traditional South Indian coffee into the future of hospitality service.
