New Coffee System from Miele – CVA4066 – Curtos.com

March 13, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I thought built-in coffee systems were a joke. I really did. I figured these would be a prime example of manufacturers trying to capitalize on all this discretionary income being generated by cheaply accessed credit by creating a product that is a pure luxury at best. They’d slap something together quickly, push it out to cater to “new luxury” customers and voila, get hit with a ton of returns.

And you know what? I was wrong…especially in the case of Miele’s coffee system offerings. The CVA4075 was a big hit. And surprisingly, I didn’t have 1 return or complaint about it. Everything stuck.

So Miele has tweaked their winner a bit more and has now rolled out the next generation coffee system – the CVA4066. Here are details:
- Plumbed whole bean system
- Automatic prompts to add fresh water, milk and/or beans
- Refrigerated milk can be stored up to 12 hrs
- Dishwasher safe spout
- Spout height adjustable btw 2.5″ and 5.75″ inches.
- Stainless steel container that offers larger quantities

Electrolux Induction Cooktops…V-A-L-U-E

February 19, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I know I have been on Electrolux’ tip big-time lately so this is going to be my last post on their brand till tomorrow…

If you are shopping for induction cooktops, you need to explore both Icon and the “Electrolux Ripa” line.

Let’s look at “Electrolux Ripa” first. They don’t offer a pure induction line, instead opting for a hybrid variety which has a 2 induction and 2 hybrid elements in the 30″ EW30CC55GS ($1699) and two powerful induction and three electric elements in the 36″ EW36CC55GS ($1899).

Icon offers the 30″ E30IC75FSS at $1999 and the 36″ E36IC75FSS at $2499. Both are pure induction systems.

These are VALUES. Compare to the following:

LG 30″ LCE30845 – $1999

Diva 30″ induction DDP4 – $2399

Diva 36″ induction DDP5 – $2999

Gaggenau 36″ CI491610 – $4499

Miele 36″ KM5773 – $2749
