CM7 flagship range further upgraded / Three beans containers for first time / Extended range includes Coffee Edition

At IFA, the German family-owned company will be launching a new flagship model in its range of countertop coffee machines. Not only does the CM 7750 CoffeeSelect offer no fewer than four useful features which can only be had from Miele, it is now possible for the first time to select from three different bean types at the touch of a button. A new conical grinder made from stainless steel grinds exceedingly quietly and gently, without leaving any residue behind. Furthermore, the CM7 from Miele is the only countertop coffee machine which self-descales and uses sensors to automatically adjust the height of the spout to the size of the cup, glass or mug. And when it comes to coffee, too, the choice has increased, with now four exclusive blends on offer.

Even previous buyers of a coffee machine from Miele's CM7 model range enjoy a wider range of options than on any other machine on the market: 16 coffee specialities are available, ranging from Coffee Crema, Espresso, Cappuccino or Latte Macchiato through to beverages common in other countries such as Long Black or Flat White. Added to this, there is also hot water at various temperatures for making tea. Now, the patented CoffeeSelect function ensures even greater convenience, flexibility and enjoyment, with three separate beans containers for, say, espresso, a velvety café crema or a decaffeinated variety. The three beans containers have a capacity of 210, 180 and 150 g respectively.

Separate blends and fresh coffee thanks to AromaticSystemFresh

A rotating device below the beans container portions the beans of choice and feeds them through to the grinder. The new conical grinder made from stainless steel is now quieter and preserves aroma better than ceramic grinders. As this is located directly above the brew unit, the selected type of coffee is freshly percolated for each individual cup (AromaticSystemFresh).

When a supply of beans or detergent is depleted, fresh orders can be placed very simply from a smartphone or tablet PC as the CM 7750 CoffeeSelect is WiFi-enabled and can be controlled on the fly using the Miele@mobile app.

Alongside the features already mentioned, the CM 7750 Coffee Select has a removable brew unit and automatically cleans milk lines. These benefits are joined by tried-and-tested features such as the programming of up to 10 user profiles via the touch display, LED lighting of the coffee spout recess and the coffee jug function for up to 10 cups in quick succession. New, too, is a TeaTimer function which allows one or two times to be programmed in. Once tea has had enough time to brew, an acoustic signal sounds.

Greater variety: Miele Black Edition coffee

To match its coffee machines, Miele has provided customers with its own exclusive blend of coffee since 2016 under the Miele Black Edition N°1 label. Now, three further blends are to be added to the range. New to the Black Edition are the CAFÉ CREMA, ESPRESSO and DECAF varieties. The previous Black Edition N°1 (in future: ONE FOR ALL) will remain in the range as a well-established all-rounder (see Press Release No. 070a/2018 'Exclusive to Miele: The Black Edition' at a glance). A team of experts consisting of coffee roasters, acclaimed baristas and Miele technicians has worked out sets of recommended settings such as coffee and water quantities, temperatures, pre-brewing and fineness of grind for the various blends of the Black Edition. With these settings, which are provided with each Miele coffee machine, customers can enjoy their favourite coffee immediately and without any trial and error.

All blends are hand-picked and roasted slowly and gently in a drum at low temperature, and 'bio' and fair-traded. Both certificates cover the entire production chain; even Miele is certified as a warehousing agent and trader in bio coffee. The Black Edition will be on sale in Miele showrooms and in Miele's online shop (www.miele-shop.de).
