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!

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 Miele Black Edition coffee blends. 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-month freshness guarantee

Good flavour is very dependent on how the coffee is stored. To preserve the full aroma of Miele Black Edition, 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. For that reason all Miele Black Edition coffees are certified as Fairtrade products. As a pioneer amongst Fairtrade products, coffee is making a valuable contribution towards improving the living and working conditions of coffee growers and their families in developing countries. Buying Fairtrade products also contributes to the protection of the environment. Our Miele coffee is fully traceable and 100 % of it comes 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. This means that it is not just our partner, private coffee-roasting company Vollmer, with organic certification – Miele too now has organic certification** as a warehousing agent and trader in organic coffee for the first time.

Miele Black Edition One for all

Miele's Black Edition One for all is full-bodied and aromatic with a subtle fruity note – for a unique flavour experience. With its balanced aroma, the One for all blend – made from 100 % arabica beans – is particularly versatile: it is ideal for a delicious café crema or espresso, or any type of coffee speciality with milk.

Miele Black Edition Café Crema

The crema of a good café crema allows the aroma to fully unfold and provides the perfect finishing touch. With its light and balanced aroma, our Café Crema blend creates the perfect coffee experience – with a floral and fruity nuance that rounds out the flavour beautifully. Miele Black Edition Café Crema is made from 100 % arabica beans.

The blend has a particularly intense flavour with hints of spice and chocolate, allowing you to create lively and particularly aromatic espressos – the perfect way to round off a delicious meal. The premium blend is made from high-quality robusta and arabica beans.

Miele Black Edition Decaf

With Miele Black Edition Decaf you can enjoy all types of coffee specialities of the highest quality, without caffeine. The coffee blend is decaffeinated gently using a special organic process – 100 % of the intense aroma is preserved for an unbeatable coffee experience. The blend is made from high-quality arabica beans. Like all our coffee products, Miele Black Edition Decaf is Fairtrade and certified as organic.

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.

Miele coffee machines: pure enjoyment

For anyone who loves perfectly prepared coffee specialities, Miele offers a wide range of outstanding coffee machines. Whether you are an ambitious amateur barista, a fan of milk froth or a lover of exclusive coffee specialities: finally you can enjoy your favourite beverage not only in a café, but at home too. Anytime and with ease – with Miele.

Accessories and cleaning for long-lasting enjoyment

The coffee machine is only one of the many prerequisites for the perfect preparation of your favourite coffee speciality. In addition to the right coffee, the right accessories also play an important role, such as the coffee pot which fits perfectly under the spout of the fully automatic coffee machine. 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. By looking after your appliance carefully, you can ensure that it functions perfectly its whole life long: for delicious coffee and long-lasting 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:
