AI-Powered Cooking Assistant "CulinaryCoach"
Building a Smart Kitchen Environment with Connectivity and Flexibility

German premium home appliance brand Miele announced on the 22nd that it will unveil new products and integrated kitchen solutions at "EuroCucina 2026," the world's largest international kitchen appliance and furniture exhibition, which will be held in Milan, Italy, from April 21 to 26 (local time).


At this exhibition, Miele redefined the kitchen as a space that flexibly adapts to users' daily routines, rather than a fixed area, and implemented this vision through an experience-focused exhibition structure. The brand showcased technologies that simultaneously expand the cooking experience and spatial efficiency, such as the intelligent sensor-based induction "KM 8000 Series," the "Steam Drawer," and the "Induction with Integrated Hood."

In addition, Miele revealed digital features including the AI-powered cooking assistant "CulinaryCoach," as well as refrigeration and ventilation solutions, presenting a direction for building a smart kitchen environment with enhanced connectivity and flexibility.


The KM 8000 Series is designed to precisely detect the temperature of cookware using sensors and automatically adjust power output accordingly, minimizing overheating and boil-overs.


The "Steam Drawer" is designed to provide a variety of cooking functions even in limited spaces. When installed beneath a 45 cm compact oven, it enables multi-function cooking within a 60 cm built-in space. The structure supports baking, reheating, and steam cooking simultaneously, maximizing the utilization of kitchen space.


Recipes can also be selected and cooking controlled through the Miele app, allowing users to prepare a wide range of ingredients with greater precision and consistency. This product is scheduled to launch in the European market in March 2027.


Miele expanded its ventilation solutions with the induction cooktop with integrated hood and the glass panel hood. The induction with integrated hood, designed with a 60 cm width, can be installed in compact kitchens and is capable of immediately absorbing steam generated during cooking, allowing it to be used without a separate hood.


The "CulinaryCoach" function recommends recipes based on user preferences and cooking experience, providing personalized suggestions that reflect preferred ingredients and usage patterns. Necessary settings for the cooking process are automatically transmitted to connected appliances, enabling more efficient cooking without complex setup.


Miele diversified its refrigeration lineup with the XXL built-in, French door, and MasterCool series. The XXL built-in refrigerator offers up to 44% more storage capacity compared to standard built-ins, making it suitable for bulk shopping or large families. The LongLife AirClean filter, which reduces odors by up to 95%, enhances the performance of food preservation.


During Milan Design Week, Miele reopened the "Miele Experience Center." This space was reconfigured as an interactive area focused on the brand experience, proposing new ways of utilizing the kitchen by reflecting real-life living environments.



A Miele representative stated, "At EuroCucina 2026, we sought to redefine the kitchen as a space that flexibly adapts to users' daily lives. Moving forward, we will continue to expand innovative, user-centered kitchen experiences through integrated solutions that encompass cooking, food preservation, and ventilation, based on our design philosophy of 'Design That Moves With You.'"
