Miele CVA 4060

Bitterly disappointed – Nice coffee machine.....when it works. Efficient, simple, elegant, but not very hot! Purchased in 2010 for $3500+ Repaired twice under warranty, three times since. Waiting 9 months for repairs - no longer able to contact Miele authorised service agent!!! After enjoying wonderful results from other Miele appliances, feel quite disappointed.

Useless – The CVA4060 coffee machine is the most useless piece of equipment I ever purchased cost over $3000 to purchase in 2010 has cost over $2000 in repairs and parts so far Just spent $740 last week without the machine for one week supposedly repaired on the workshop. This morning 3 days later the milk frothing pump does not work and just steam comes… Read more

out of the outlet I have often threaten to run over it with my truck and loaded on youtube. I believe now may be the appropriate.

Disappointed with Operating instructions manual and after sales – The instructions says on page 54, "if you set the automatic rinsing function to off, you have to rinse the brew unit manually". Ignor this, because if you turn it on, it still means you have to rinse the brew unit manually or it will cost you another $700 in repairs. It prompts you do everything, but clean the brew unit. Tasty Coffee. Instruction book transulation poor, contradicting re cleaning and care. Milk not hot enough and messy.

Disappointing – Very Disappointed with this Coffee Machine. The machine was bought 5+ years ago, has hardly been used and the Drive Mechanism has failed. Cost to fix almost $500 aud. - I assume the content of the adverts are like my coffee machine - worthless. We paid almost $30,000 for a Meile kitchen. Consisting of 2 ovans, microwave/oven, steamer,glass cook… Read more

top, extractors, 2 dishwashers, plate warmers and a coffee machine which cost approx. $3,000. Probably cost per cup so far $6.00 plus the coffee and milk. Cost for serviceman $149.00 to tell me it had failed.

Never again.

PS. I have no complaints about the other Miele equipment, they have all functioned well to their credit. Neat and looks the part. Slow coffee making machine - outrageously expensive and unreliable in my view.

Terrible – Not worth the money! Would never let anyone I know buy one. Rather get a manual machine from a Italian manufacturer. It makes ok coffee to a certain point Dont buy one of these machines they are fine until a certain point and then the problems start Miele service centres are beyond pathetic as they cant fix the problems once they star and all you do is pay and pay and pay. I was warned before I bought and I should have listened.

Excellent – This machine is fairly expensive, but, as with other Miele products we own, it is built high quality standards and should be capable of operation over many years. Once it is set up to your particular taste, strength of coffee, etc it is as simple as pressing a couple of buttons for that perfect cuppa. This machine grinds it own coffee beans (it… Read more

doesn't use Nespresso coffee pods). Where to start! I've experimented with a few types of coffee beans but have now settled on Lavazza Cremae Aroma a smooth flavoursome coffee. To begin with I felt that the Capuccino wasn't quite as frothy or creamy as cafe purchased ones. However, on reflection and with a bit of practice, the results are quite good. Adjusting the temperature settings to maximum and heating the milk a little (just enough to take the chill off gives improved results. The machine has a multitude of settings that it stores so that the perfect cup of coffee is achievable after a few attempts. There are probably a few machines out there that would do as well as this one. Most, cannot be built-in to a wall of appliances as this one can; instead they have to sit on the benchtop). Because I like my coffee, I seem to have to fill the water dispenser fairly often. I guess the advantage of this is that the water is always clean. When descaling the machine which one is required to do after it has dispensed 150 cups of coffee, it would be best to leave the descaling tablets in the water dispenser to disolve during the day while you are at work as it takes quite a while for the tablets to disolve

Terrible – I like the machine but I would not have bought it if I had been told about the global fault with the descaling program. Custom settings for a great cup of coffee There is a problem with the Miele which needs replacing in every system. I wouldn't buy this until it is fixed.

Excellent – We were pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to set up the machine and get great results quickly. The amount of cleaning (for any coffee machine) looks daunting when looking through the user guide, but the automation actually makes this easy. The high level of automation means that this machine will enable you to produce the same quality result… Read more ·  1

every time. We had to install within a limited depth of cupboard and the height of a microwave - this was the only coffee machine that would fit. The CLEANING program,(for degreasing the Brew Unit) once started, cannot be reset or stopped. Somehow, we confused the automation and it paused forever near the end of the cycle until the master switch was used to switch the machine off and on again. The CLEANING program picked up again at the beginning and only completed because we obeyed all instructions to the letter.

Excellent – Brilliant! German engineering at its best. It is one of the most expensive machines on the market...but for those of us who love coffee...small price to pay. Where do I start..the perfect cup of coffee..custom set by you for you..every morning. Love it. it is also very impressive unit to look at. It froths very well and the machine is getting… Read more

better every day for me...just love it. If I have one criticism is that the cleaning is very germanic in its adherance to process...but the benefits of a clean machine outweigh this issue in my opinion. other issue is that I had to change to decaf due to the hindreds of cups I was having over the last 6 months...
