Miele CM5500 Coffee System – Bronze Pearl

Overview
Premier coffee at the touch of a button: let the Miele CM5500 delight your tastebuds. Compact and full-featured, the CM5500 packs in programming that belies its pricepoint—including coffee pot brewing, one-touch controls, and over 8 unique drink presets. The CM5500 also improves on the features of the lesser CM5300, adding programmable drink menus for two, and a center-mounted hot water spout for its custom Americano drink option. All this convenience-focused functionality pairs perfectly with the 5500’s soft bronze coloring and minimalist case shape, ensuring this best-in-class super-automatic fits in any kitchen.
Features

Compact Superautomatic: A tiny 9.5×18 footprint, the CM5500 will fit on any kitchen counter.
Automatic Milk Frothing: Latte’s are as easy as dropping the end of the milk hose in a cup of milk—the 5500 handles the rest.
Drink Profiles: Two programmable drink profiles lets you save unique drinks for each user.
Carafe Mode: Unique to Miele superautomatics, this mode lets you brew up to 40 ounces of coffee at once.

Hot Water Spout: An integrated hot water spout handles Americanos or tea at a touch.
Self-Cleaning: Automatic monitoring alerts you when its time to descale or deep-clean your milk system.

Pros

Good Coffee: As far as superautomatics go, the Miele 5500 makes excellent espresso and milk drinks.
One-Touch: There’s nothing quite like getting that perfect latte with a single tap of the screen.
Features Found: The addition of custom profiles and a hot water spout make the CM5500 an easy choice over the feature-less 5300.

Cons

Small Storage: Both bean hopper and reservoir are small in capacity (to fit in such a petite form factor), you’ll be refilling both regularly.
