Why We Love Miele
Miele is a high-end German appliance brand and one of the pioneers in the industry. They make some of the most innovative product on the market, and they build it to last. Their testing standard is based on 20 years of average household use. That’s not a number they put in a brochure but an engineering benchmark.
What matters to us as designers is how well Miele integrates into Italian cabinetry. Their ovens install flush with the cabinet face. Their refrigerators can be set up fully handle-less, with a touch-to-open mechanism that works perfectly in a contemporary kitchen that doesn’t want any visible hardware. Their ADA-height dishwashers integrate cleanly with Poliform cabinetry in a way that most American appliance brands can’t.
They also have a level of kitchen technology that’s genuinely impressive. Step-by-step cooking programs. Settings that remember your preferences. Multiple bean options in a single built-in coffee machine. These are things people actually use.
Products We Love Right Now
Built-in Coffee Machines
This is what Miele is most known for in the luxury kitchen world. You can store up to three different beans in the machine simultaneously, so different household members can have different preferences without anyone compromising. The milk container stays in the fridge and connects automatically. If you entertain a lot or take coffee seriously, this changes your mornings.
Dishwashers
Miele’s dishwashers are available in ADA heights, which is critical when integrating with European cabinetry like Poliform. Fully panel-integrated, quiet, and exceptional at actually cleaning dishes. They also have one of the best cutlery tray systems in the industry.
Refrigerators and Freezers
Available in multiple column sizes for full integration into the kitchen layout. The touch-to-open hinges work with handle-less cabinet fronts, so if you want a completely seamless, hardware-free kitchen, the refrigerator cooperates.
Ovens
All install flush with the cabinetry for a seamless line. Available with steam functions and also now without handles, fully matching the handle-less kitchen concept.

Appliance Selection Is Part of the Design
We specify appliances at the kitchen design stage, not after the cabinets are ordered. The placement of ovens, the refrigerator column size, the dishwasher location. All of these affect the cabinet layout and the overall kitchen flow. We work through it together as part of the process.
