JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – “The new CM5 models profit from the same tried-and-tested technology as their higher-priced sister models,” says Mercia de Jager from Miele South Africa.
The new entry-line series masters favourite coffee specialities, from a single ristretto to two caffè lattes, which is achievable with a single touch of a button with Miele’s OneTouch for Two technology.
It goes without saying that individual parameters, such as water volume and grind quantity, temperature and pre-brewing, can be adjusted to suit personal preferences. The coffee pot function is highly practical, allowing between three and six cups to be delivered into a thermos flask.
The route to a favourite beverage is made simple and intuitively through the use of sensor pushbuttons. The same applies to automatic cleaning programmes – for example the CM5’s ability to rinse milk lines with water from the on-board tank. Similarly practical and uncomplicated is the removable brew unit that can be quickly and easily cleaned under running water.
Broad lineup comprising two model ranges
The CM5 is available in two versions – the CM 5300 in always fashionable Obsidian Black, and the CM5500, which comes with an oh-so-trendy Rose Gold lacquered front. In comparison to models from Miele’s CM6 and CM7 freestanding coffee ranges, the CM5 appears more compact and is, in fact, somewhat slimmer – boasting dimensions of 241mm (W) x 360mm (H) x 460mm (D).
With its current portfolio, Miele now offers countertop coffee machines in three sizes, each available with varying degrees of convenience. “If we take all three model ranges together with their optional features and colours, Miele customers are able to choose from a variety of different models, so there is something for everybody,” says Mercia. Prices start at R17 999,00 for the basic CM 5300 unit, through to R39 999,00 for the high-end model from the CM 7300 range. Freestanding coffee machines in Miele’s mid-range CM6 series start from R26 999,00.
Exclusive coffee for uncompromising pleasure
As from January 2018, Miele will also offers its own blend of coffee for coffee machines. Black Edition N°1 is a well-balanced blend of four Arabica beans, naturally biological and fair-trade. The beans are roasted and blended exclusively for Miele by a private German roastery. As a special service, Miele includes a set of recommendations for machine settings which are specially selected for the Black Edition N°1 with each machine – for uncompromising pleasure.
