Café quality at home with Miele

The imminent launch of Miele’s new CM5200 flagship model should have coffee lovers in South Africa very excited, as this machine surely has it all.  In line with the consistent quality and innovation for which Miele is known, the CM5200 has plenty of enticing features that enable barista coffee results at home.

The new appliance offers a wider choice of beverages than before – including single or double shot espresso, cappuccino or latte. As on all Miele coffee machines, the quantity of ground coffee, the brew temperature, the pre-brew setting and the volume of coffee delivered can all be adjusted to suit your individual taste. What we really like is that the CM5200 is one of the first machines of its kind able to produce two drinks simultaneously, at the touch of a button, for true convenience and a shared coffee experience.

Everyday maintenance is also made easier than ever before with an automatic rinse function, and the compact design means it can fit into any kitchen space. We also love the sleek design, fitting for even the most stylish homes. 

As one would expect from a Miele product, the machine comes with a full two-year guarantee, and it retails for R16 999.

To celebrate the arrival of the CM5200, VISI and Miele are giving one lucky reader the opportunity to win one of these incredible machines!

There is no doubt that coffee culture is growing and evolving in South Africa, and we’d like you to give us a glimpse of how you interpret that. We’re looking for images and/or videos that you have created that show us what a true coffee lover you really are: Photos of your favourite coffee shop, a portrait of your local barista, a scanned ‘artwork’ of coffee-cup stains on your serviette, a poem dedicated to the humble coffee bean, images of customised chocolate sprinkles on your cappuccino, a cell-phone video tour of the coffee spots in your neighbourhood…

The brief is really open-ended, and the winners will be judged by the VISI editorial team based on the creativity, originality, and popularity of their entry.

To enter, email your submissions (.jpg pictures and links to video only please) to web@visi.co.za

We will then create a dedicated board on VISI’s Pinterest page, where entrants will be able to vote, share and check out the competition. There is no limit to the number of entries you may send in.

The closing date for entries is 31 May 2012, and the winner will be announced the following week.

Start sharing your creativity now, and who knows – you might just be sharing café quality espressos in the comfort of your own kitchen very soon!
