Even though the 5 year warranty on my Miele B2C machine has expired, Miele have introduced a monthly breakdown warranty for any of their appliances under 10 years old.

After year 10, so long as you’re prepared to keep paying the monthly fee they will cover the appliance against breakdown. If there’s a problem and they can’t repair it they will replace it for the latest model free-of-charge.

Even so, having tried many brands of whole beans over the years, I’ve found that Pact Coffee offer the most consistent flavour between purchases of the same variant (unlike other brands). Although I often buy directly from Pact, Ocado and Waitrose now sell 200g bags of their ‘House Blend’ and ‘Bourbon Cream’ Coffee. Pact are based in the same premises that once produced Bourbon Cream Biscuits.

Pact pay above Fairtrade prices to their farmers, and only source high quality Beans - which is why Pact Coffee costs more (but it’s well worth the extra).

Coffee and Pastries on a Saturday morning with Meridian playing Jazz in the background is my routine start to the weekend.
