Miele

 

 CVA4070 with cappucinatore

At the turn of the century, Miele created the atmosphere of a European café in homes around the globe when it introduced the first built-in coffee system. As the originator of this appliance product category and in keeping with our promise of Forever Better, we proudly introduce an all new coffee system, model CVA4070. Like its predecessor, model CVA615, this system brews up delicious espresso, cappuccino, latté or regular coffee quickly and easily. Using whole coffee beans, the system grinds to your personal settings to deliver a truly tailored, flavorful beverage with magnificent crema. The most notable enhancement to this system is the addition of Miele’s signature, easy-to-use navigational electronics, NavitronicsTM. Accessed via the centered touch screen control panel, the task-driven menu system guarantees simple operation and intuitive use. The CVA4070 boasts an impressive list of features that make creating dynamic and remarkable beverages for your family and guests fun and great to enjoy.

Glass Countertop

In the world of granites, quartz, Corian, tile, and concrete … there’s a new kid on the block. Glass! Featured in many kitchen and bath magazines right now, it is definitely an unconventional choice – but full of potential to become the next big wave in contemporary design. Glass countertops have been around for about 4 years. The manufacturing method is “thermoforming”, much like Corian (which can be molded into almost any shape).
