Miele : CVA4075 Plumbed Coffee System – Stainless Steel

Durable and WELL worth it!

Had this coffee maker installed with my home remodel nearly seven years ago now. MORE than paid for itself MANY TIMES over (hey, nearly $5 a pop of your favorite brew adds up FAST).

Easy to care for. Only one problem since the installation was fixed with a quick call to VERY friendly and helpful Miele customer service. They walked me through fixing the problem (less than 15 minutes) and sent me a part replacement kit just in case the part needed replacing (it didn’t, but I kept it just in case).

DURABLE is what surprised me; I use it at least 4-7 times daily more on the weekends without a hitch. (How many things do you use that often in a day, every day for seven years without a screw up?) It will not take “flavored” coffees (beans that have been coated in flavoring) as that will gum up the works, but then again who really wants gunk coated beans, anyway?

Of all the “toys” I bought for my new kitchen; this has been the most impressive.

Great machine !

I’ve had my Miele for 7 years now. I don’t use it every day but mostly on the weekends. It’s always made a superb cup of espresso/cappuccino. The biggest issue for me is that it’s loud so if you’re an early riser and your family is not.. it might wake someone up. Yes.. you have to take care of it. I guess the fact that it’s a sleek looking appliance that impresses family and friends leads people to believe it will function without problems if you don’t take a few moments to clean it after using it! Every once in a while it gives me a message that something needs to be taken care of… descaling. Not that much of an issue. Yes, it will take about 30 minutes but hey.. they could have not added this feature and the machine could have gotten clogged with lime and then everyone would be complaining about the fact that it stopped working after a few months. Thanks Miele for making the machine not function until you do the descaling. It even counts the cups of coffee it makes and…

The single most loved item in my entire house

I’m not going to say anything about the specs; etc since this can be looked up.

We have a Miele : CVA4075 Plumbed Coffee System – Stainless Steel that was already installed in the house we purchased. It was installed about 2 years prior to us moving in and then we’ve lived here for 2 years. My wife and I use it every single day and sometimes twice a day, so at an average of 12 shots of espresso per day x 2 years = we’ve almost made 9,000 shots of espresso with this machine ourselves and have not had one single problem with the machine.

This machine is completely automatic, just keep it full of beans, turn it on, and hit the espresso button. Cleaning is as simple as could possible be conceived. It has a drip tray and a coffee ground tray that needs dumped and wiped down twice a week. The machine prompts you to do the fancier internal cleaning which is almost completely automatic – probably…
