Pot function ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.0Owners like having a bulk brewing or pot function for times when company is over and they need to prepare more than a single espresso shot at once, and appreciate that it can brew into either Miele’s optional insulated pot or a compatible carafe they already own, though the matching insulated pot is pricey so this mode feels more like a nice to have than an essential feature.
