A Makeover and a Welcome Move in Broad Hall
The popular Miele Coffee Bar in the NKBA immersive showhouse at Broad Hall was revamped and relocated for Fall Market–a major upgrade for both the brand and Market attendees.
During Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 Markets, the coffee bar had been stationed right by the entrance in Broad Hall. The idea was that Market attendees could check in, then grab their coffee before moving through the NKBA showhouse. But the installation was so popular, it created a bottleneck.
Now, Miele is right in the center of the showhouse and in a bigger space that also includes Broad Hall partners Fabuwood and Cosentino. The result is an integrated space, and a much more relaxed experience.
That means an entire kitchen installation showcasing Miele products that have recently come to market–including a full-surface induction cooktop, a free-standing counter-depth French door refrigerator, two undercounter refrigeration drawers, and an undercounter panel-ready wine storage.
Briana Ryan, Emery Murphy, and Tracy Parks of Miele’s Architect & Designer Development team returned as baristas for the weekend and were thrilled with the new space.
“NKBA’s presence at High Point made it possible for us to be here and to connect with this segment of designers that regularly visit the Market,” said Ryan.
And of course, there’s the coffee. Miele’s built-in coffee machines–which come with plumbing option–make lattes, espresso, cappuccinos, and cortados at the push of a button.
“Our machines feature three ports for different coffee beans, and you can also program profiles for individual preferences allowing for temperature, milk quantity, and serving size,” said Murphy.
