Black Edition: Enjoy coffee with all your senses
For perfect coffee enjoyment, we have introduced four Miele coffee varieties: the Miele Black Edition. With them you can always prepare your coffee specialities with the right coffee beans. The result is typical Miele: simply unique! In addition, we are offering the speciality coffee Selection Brazil for a limited time.
The perfect blend is the key to a perfect coffee
The composition of different types of beans, their quality and the blend ratio are what make up the flavour of each coffee. Four fine types of beans were selected for the exclusive standard coffee blends of the Miele Black Edition. The cherries are left on the plant until ripe and then harvested and sorted by hand. The result: a harmonious and beautifully aromatic coffee that provides a unique flavour experience. All our coffee products are Fairtrade and organic certified* and can be ordered from the Miele online shop.
18-months freshness guarantee**
Good flavour is very dependent on how the coffee is stored. To preserve the full aroma of the Miele Black Edition standard range, the coffee comes in aroma-proof 250 g bags made from composite aluminium foil. An aroma valve allows gases released from the coffee to escape to prevent the bag from overinflating. As aroma may also escape from the bag over a longer period of storage time, our coffee roastery recommends using the coffee within 18 months to experience perfect and truly delicious coffee. Of course the coffee can still be used after that time frame.
Fairtrade: fair trade guaranteed
For us, fairness goes without saying. That is why all four standard products in the Miele Black Edition are Fairtrade certified. As a pioneer amongst fair-trade products, coffee is making a valuable contribution towards improving the living and working conditions of coffee growers and their families in under-developed countries. Buying Fairtrade products also contributes to the protection of the environment. Our Miele coffee can be traced back and is to 100% from Fairtrade coffee cooperatives.
Coffee enjoyment with organic certification*
Every company producing or distributing ecologically grown produce must be certified according to EU rules on organic farming in order to market products within the EU. This certification covers the entire organic production chain – including growing, processing, transportation, warehousing, and trading. In accordance with these rules not only our partner, Vollmer private roastery, is organic certified, but Miele, for the first time as warehousing agent and dealer of organic coffee with organic certification***, too.

Roasting process
Our partner: private coffee-roasting company Vollmer
With the private coffee-roasting company Vollmer, Miele has a partner at its side with a tradition and values that match our own. Vollmer was founded in 1936 as a general colonial goods store with attached roasting facility, and has over 80 years of experience in roasting and creating unusual coffee blends. Just like Miele, Vollmer is only satisfied with the highest quality. The company is Fairtrade certified and has also been organic certified since 1996.
The right roasting process is key
The unique, characteristic aroma and the flavour of each blend of beans are the result of the roasting process and chemical reactions that occur during this process. During the grease-free and dry roasting process up to 800 aromatic substances contained in the coffee beans are revitalised. The roasting time influences the moisture content as well as the acidity of the beans.
The darker the roast, the less acidity, but the more bitterness and sweetness is released. Temperature development and roasting time therefore influence the aroma and flavour of the beans. This means that the same type of bean can taste different depending on the parameters of the roasting process. As only flavour substances that are present in the untreated bean can be released during the roasting process, every roasting process must be perfect for the blend of beans. Only then can the whole flavour palette of a bean develop and unfold. As the moisture in the bean evaporates during the roasting process, its water content reduces from approx. 12 % to only 5 %. The bean's weight also reduces.
But those who think that this would result in the bean shrinking are mistaken: its size doubles during the roasting process as the evaporating water increases the pressure inside the bean. During the roasting process for Miele Black Edition, untreated coffee beans are poured into a pre-heated roasting container. This dries the beans and pre-warms them. Then they are roasted, during which the first aromas develop from approx. 150 °C. At the end of the roasting process the temperature of the coffee is at least 180 °C before it is cooled down.

The coffee machine is only one of the many prerequisites for the perfect preparation of your favourite coffee speciality.

Cleaning your Miele appliance regularly and correctly is also important. We make this as easy as possible for you: for example with automatic cleaning programmes or the easily removable brew unit.

Coffee enjoyment
With Miele you can prepare any type of coffee speciality
If you want to ensure perfect results when preparing your favourite coffee with a Miele coffee machine so that you can enjoy its full aroma, you need to experiment a little bit. By trying out a few different options, you can easily find the right settings that suit your type of coffee perfectly. For best results the following settings are important: portion size, amount of ground coffee, brewing temperature, pre-brewing and grinder setting. The operating instructions for your appliance explain how to set these parameters.
It is all about the settings
Italian baristas master the art of coffee preparation almost perfectly. Their secret is the great care and exactness they apply when making coffee as well as a coffee grinder that matches the coffee machine perfectly with regard to the high-quality coffee they use. For that reason, the grinder is reset every morning to take the weather conditions (particularly the humidity) into account. To ensure that the perfect settings have been selected, test espressos are brewed until the perfect crema is produced. To guarantee that you, as an owner of a Miele coffee machine, achieve such perfect results without great difficulty, we have established the perfect settings for our Black Edition on our Miele coffee machines:
