MIELE: BUILDING KITCHENS OF THE FUTURE

“What kind of coffee would you like today?” was the question thrown to the group. I eagerly volunteered, “Cappuccino, please!” The person beside me asked for a latte. After a few clicks on the touchscreen, the coffee machine came to life and a few seconds after, we were both happily enjoying our cups. 

Hold on a second, did the person just give out instructions on a touchscreen? In case you were wondering, we weren’t enjoying our caffeine in one of those major coffee shop chains. We were invited to attend the event of the 116-year old German brand of appliances, Miele. Founded in 1899, the brand is currently run by the fourth generation family members of Founders Carl Miele and Reinhard Zinkann and continues to be a pioneer in creating premium appliances.

A store dedicated to the 116 year old brand, Miele, found home at The Residences at Greenbelt.

We got to experience firsthand the collection of Miele’s Generation 6000 Series in its new 110-square meter gallery at The Residences, Greenbelt. The brand introduced its latest line of evolved kitchen equipment but still stayed loyal to its design principle of “form follows function.” Customers now have more options with Miele’s new generation microwave ovens, gourmet warming drawers, convection ovens, combi-steam ovens, steam ovens and coffee machines. 

A 1910 washing machine by Dr. Miele himself was shipped all the way 
from Germany.

Being a coffee lover, I made a beeline for their machines. These new coffee makers offer users additional innovative features to make their morning routines more efficient. Each product comes with the M Touch, an intuitive feature similar to tablets and smart phones. You can swipe or scroll down for directions to select and control the type of beverage with the tip of a finger and play barista in your own home. The coffee makers come with a new Cupsensor, EasyClick Milk System and One Touch for Two features. The Cupsensor has a direct sensor that automatically adjusts the height of the spout to various cup and glass sizes. The “One Touch for Two” feature allows the user to prepare a couple of cups simultaneously whether the order is for a short macchiato or tall hot mocha. The EasyClick Milk System, a component exclusive to Miele, is a glass milk flask that is dishwasher-safe that conveniently snaps into position at the front of the machine. The high-quality flask not only makes it effortless to rinse, it also makes it visible for the user to check the fullness and quality of milk due to its transparency. After customizing all our preferences for that perfect cup of joe, the information can also be saved for the next coffee session, eliminating the hassle of repeating the process!

Next, we experimented with the New Generation 6000 Miele Oven. As a mother, I enjoy kitchen sessions with my daughter. We have baked bread, cookies, and cake together and it serves as a bonding time for us. However, I remember constantly opening the door to check because I have burned food before. Haha! This oven takes out the confusion in the process. Equipped with more than 100 automatic programs, all one has to do is pick one function, place the food and it will do everything else. It comes with a Moisture Plus function, perfect for baking bread and cooking meat, and also a wireless food probe which measures the core temperature. That means we no longer need to monitor the cooking process. Instead, we can utilize the time doing other errands.

The new Knock2Open feature enables you to completely hide your Miele dishwasher and achieve that handle-less and seamless look for your kitchen.

One of the interesting set-ups in the kitchen was the invisible dishwasher due to its seamless aesthetic. No one would know that a fully integrated dishwasher was hiding behind the cabinet unless they knock twice. The appliance with the Knock2Open feature is Miele’s top-of-the-line dishwasher. Worried about your water bill? According to their research, Miele’s dishwashers consume less water compared to washing dishes by hand, using 6.5liters of fresh water per cleaning.

All these appliances also come in the beautiful color of Brilliant White, a modern look that will complement sleek spaces. If you are intimidated by the state-of-the-art technology, don’t be. They actually aid amateur cooks (like me) in creating a meal with just a few steps.   

Miele Gallery, Makati is located at the GF, The Residences at Greenbelt, Esperanza Street, Makati 1224. The gallery is open on Mondays to Saturday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sundays 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information, contact Miele at +63 2 7942095 to 96 or via Telefax at +63 2 7942097.
