Miele CVA 6805

I use this everyday and love it! The machine tells you when to clean and most important very easy to clean. Have had it for over 2yrs and now can’t live without it. I was initially hesitant on spending so much on a coffee machine but now had wished I had bought one soon. I love that you can manually tweak the coffee to your taste. Have not had an issue yet. It is a little on the expensive side but for me well worth it

When you pay this much for an appliance you expect it to work, and to last. This machine was good - functional but not perfect - while it lasted but died shortly out of warranty. Repairs of course absurdly expensive. In renovating several houses over the years I have noticed how the philosophy of machines change - they are more complex and designed for shorter lifespans. So I will never buy another expensive Miele thing expecting it to last - the mechanicals may but the electronics won't. You might as well buy a cheaper brand and assume the product is useless after the warrant yperiod.
