Miele have launched two brand new built in Coffee Machines, the CVA6041 and also the CVA6431. These two new models features a new milk container which is easier to install and top up with milk with a simple easy click milk system where the milk container just clips in the front of the machine. The new range reduced the amount of cleaning required as the older models required a cleaning agent for the milk pipework but with the new models they have increased the width of the milk pipe work meaning that with the rinsing of the machine the pressure is greater and therefore achieving a better clean therefore reducing the agent cleaning process to roughly once a week.
Also on the M-Touch Model CVA6800 there is a Cup Sensor where the coffee spout automatically adjusts to the perfect height for the cup.
