Touch Screen Appliances Worth Seeing at Genier's Vernon Showroom
At first, smart appliances seemed so…smart. And then, the reality was some of the functions — like starting a load of whites from abroad — weren't so useful after all. The second generation of smart appliances, however, features touch screens with options that truly make your life easier in Vernon and across the Okanagan.
Here is a profile of two touch screen appliances that do all the thinking for you so you can prepare the best meals and beverages by simply lifting your fingers here and there.
Quick Answer: The Miele CM6 bean-to-cup coffee maker and the Jenn-Air wall oven with Culinary Centre both use touch screen controls to simplify complex tasks — custom coffee drinks at the press of a button, and guided cooking with full-colour food photography on a seven-inch LCD display.
- What they are: touch screen kitchen appliances that guide you through preparation rather than leaving you to figure out settings yourself.
- Why they matter: the best ones reduce guesswork without adding complexity — you get better results with less effort.
- What you can do now: browse both categories online, then visit the Vernon showroom to see the touch interfaces in person before buying.
- Cost notes: both sit in the premium tier; seeing them in a live showroom helps confirm whether the features justify the investment for your kitchen and lifestyle.
Miele CM6 Barista Bean-to-Cup Coffee Maker

Everyone likes their coffee just so. Miele's CM6 machine uses a touch screen to let you choose just how much milk, froth, water, and coffee you want in your latte — and the bean grinding setting — and the water temperature. It's like having a café in your kitchen, with even more options to order.
The CM6 is smart in other ways too. Ask the heating rack to warm your cups just before your alarm in the morning. Choose one of your customized recipes to fill two mugs. Then tell your coffee maker to clean itself. When you're looking for a smarter morning routine, your very own electronic barista is hard to beat.
Note for client: the CM6300 referenced in the original post does not appear in current Miele CA listings and may be discontinued. Please confirm whether to reference a current CM6 series model (such as the CM6360) before publishing.
Jenn-Air Wall Oven with Touch-Anywhere LCD Display and Culinary Centre

This wall oven from Jenn-Air features a seven-inch full-colour LCD display they call the Touch-Anywhere. Designed to make sophisticated cooking simple, the touch screen Culinary Centre offers guidance through more than 50 food options.
Choose from a handful of automatic modes for baking casseroles, broiling steaks, or puffing pastry, then choose how well done you want your meat to be and the type of pan you're using. Just to make sure you're really after a medium rare prime rib, the screen will show you a picture of one.
Instead of clunky, hard-to-clean knobs, choose your temperature setting with the swipe of your finger the same way you scroll through photos on your phone. It's one of those luxury appliances insiders have been talking about for a while, and for good reason.

FAQ
> Can I see these appliances working in person before I buy?
Yes. Genier's Vernon showroom carries Miele and Jenn-Air appliances alongside more than 50 other brands. Seeing a touch screen interface in person — and understanding how it feels to navigate — makes a real difference when you're investing in a premium appliance. Contact an advisor to confirm current floor availability before your visit.
> Are touch screen appliances harder to clean than knobs?
Generally no — flat touch surfaces are easier to wipe down than knobs with gaps and crevices that collect grease. The Jenn-Air Touch-Anywhere display is designed specifically to replace hard-to-clean knobs, and Miele's CM6 includes an automatic cleaning programme so the machine handles its own maintenance.
> Does Genier's carry Miele and Jenn-Air in Vernon?
Yes. Genier's has carried both brands for years and stocks a selection from each. Browse coffee systems and wall ovens online, or visit the Vernon showroom to compare in person.
