This is my third built-in Miele coffeemaker. Can't live without it. Bought the first one while we lived in CA, covered the cost of it just by saving my Starbucks run! When we sold the house and moved to WA, we didn't take it because it was a major feature to new owners. Bought the same model for our new home, but after the milk-flask model came out, bought it and gave our old model to friends. Can't say enough about Miele products--we love them and have at least ten Miele appliances in our current home.
I bought my first Miele built in coffeemaker like six month ago for my kitchen remodeling. I am distraught that it is not dispensing coffee. I can't believe it has broke already. I took care of it and maintained with all its cleaning that its required. I don't know what its wrong with it.
why don't you say what kind of milk you are using? I've been told by 4 different technicians different milks, eg, one said use Homo, one said use 2%, one said to use cream. This is frustrating.
Makes a good coffee....but the fancy looking latte's that are layered are not worth the high cost of this machine. They are luke warm at best. My machine was checked out by Miele tech. Even he was surprised by the temp results reported back to Miele head office. Miele customer service says to warm your cup.....gimme a frikin break...I got this machine primarily for the latte feature...this is the biggest con I have ever seen....My built in Bosch coffee machine will certainly be going back in the wall and this junk will be out the door!!!! Dont waste your money on luke warm Lattes.... Miele failed on this product.
Luke warm isn't called coffee, thanks for letting people know l was actually considering this for my kitchen renovations. l'll be steering clear of this brand then.
We've also had a built in Miele coffee machine 7 years ago, the one that isn't plumbed, has a reservoir. And I can vouch for Sky Walker on this. It really is lukewarm and becomes cold in just 3 minutes or so. What we did back then was to put hot water on the reservoir to achieve that satisfying hot espresso in the morning. Not really worth the 3 grand we spent. Trashed the Miele and swapped it with a Wolf and it is the best decision I made.
The milk for coffee is not supposed to be heated over about 60 degrees Celsius, then added to the shot of espresso. The only time we heat the milk to burning point is when we make “tourist coffee”, usually specially made for tourists from a certain area of the northern hemisphere, where luke warm coffee is anything below 95 degrees Celsius. Just saying. Your “luke warm” may well be the rest of the world’s normal coffee temp.
