With “Dreams,” Miele is launching the first outdoor kitchen in 2026 that brings indoor perfection to the outdoors. Modular in design, weatherproof, and equipped with intelligent high-end grills, this world first sets new standards – from 900 degrees of steak power to app-controlled temperature regulation.

A new milestone for kitchen and culinary enjoyment

For over 125 years, Miele has been synonymous with premium domestic appliances that combine design, quality, and innovation. With its new Outdoor Cooking product category, the company is now expanding its portfolio and becoming the world's first supplier to offer complete solutions for both indoor and outdoor kitchens.

“Outdoor living has long been a lifestyle,” explains Axel Kniehl, Managing Director of Sales and Marketing at Miele. “With Dreams, we are now bringing the special Miele cooking experience outdoors – modular, individual and technologically at the highest level.”

Modularity: The kitchen grows with you

What makes it special: “Dreams” has a completely modular design. Whether you have a small balcony or a spacious terrace, modules for grilling, cooking, washing up, cooling, and storage can be freely combined.

  • Pure flexibility: Over 60 accessories such as a plancha, pizza stone, or rotisserie enhance the cooking experience.
  • Weather resistance: High-quality materials guarantee durability in sun, rain, and sub-zero temperatures—365 days a year.
  • Design highlight: Minimalist shapes and clean lines make the kitchen look like an architectural statement in any outdoor area.

At the heart of it all: intelligent grills with 900 degrees of power

Miele pays particular attention to grilling and temperature control.

Fire Pro – the new benchmark

  • 4 stainless steel main burners + rear burner
  • Temperature range: 80–600 °C
  • Illuminated knobs for control
  • Five temperature sensors and up to four FoodProbes

Fire Pro IQ – it doesn't get any smarter than this

  • Automatic temperature control – regardless of wind or weather
  • FullControl panorama display with all data at a glance
  • Can be connected via the Miele app (recipes, timer, gas bottle level, remote control)
  • AutoClean function: grill pyrolysis automatically removes grease and residue

Sear Pro – steakhouse feeling at home
For meat lovers, the top heat grill with up to 900 °C is a highlight. It reaches 850 °C within three minutes and ensures the perfect steak crust – just like in a professional restaurant.

More than just barbecuing: full-fledged outdoor cooking

The Miele outdoor kitchen is much more than just a barbecue area.

  • Cooking module: two burners, precisely adjustable from simmering to searing.
  • Outdoor refrigerator “Cool”: 110-liter capacity, fully outdoor-suitable, odor-neutralizing AirClean filter.
  • Dishwasher module “Wash”: With Franke sink, hot water connection, and integrated waste separation system.
  • Storage modules: From S to L, with drawers or shelves – including a clever corner module with ExtraSpace pull-out.

Smart support via app

The Miele app is also the digital link between users and kitchens in the outdoor segment.

  • Send recipes & step-by-step instructions
  • Real-time temperature control
  • Read gas cylinder fill level
  • Automatic notifications for perfect grilling convenience

Expertise from Düsseldorf: Otto Wilde Grillers

Miele acquired the start-up Otto Wilde Grillers in 2021 and has consistently incorporated its expertise into the development of the new product range. Dreams thus combines start-up spirit with Miele perfection.

Market launch & availability

  • Launch: Spring 2026 in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland
  • Distribution: via the Miele Experience Center, specialist retailers, and online shop
  • Fire Pro IQ: to follow in summer 2026

Conclusion: A quantum leap for outdoor cooking

With “Dreams,” Miele is not only launching an outdoor kitchen, but redefining the category. Modularity, precision, and premium design come together in a concept that appeals to both ambitious amateur chefs and professionals. Whether it's steak at 900 degrees, pizza from the stone oven, or cozy cooking with friends, this world first makes outdoor cooking more versatile, smart, and reliable than ever before.

Design Darling May-Aug 2025

Highlights with soul: white, silver & gold

Not color, not non-color—but a way of life. White is lightness, light, clarity. Monochrome color concepts are making a comeback—and white leads the style charts with timeless naturalness. Hardly any other shade has such a calming, clear, and yet versatile effect. It’s my favorite when it comes to design pieces that enhance rooms without being obtrusive – which is precisely why I’m showcasing selected highlights in this issue that radiate understated elegance: porcelain vases that seem to be shaped from light itself. A kitchen that shines with its simplicity. And lighting designs that calm the eye – but make the heart dance.

More than just a pretty face

Why art is the new USP for hotels and restaurants

Forget lobby flowers and off-the-shelf wall decorations. Hotels and restaurants are rediscovering art – not as decoration, but as an experience that lasts. From optical illusions in Palermo to culinary art on canvas: if you’re not curating now, you’re losing out.

Flavor at the touch of a button

A breakthrough in gastronomy

Salt is one of the most important ingredients in cooking, but increased salt consumption can have serious health consequences. Kirin Holdings has now developed a revolutionary gadget: the Electric Salt Spoon, which uses electricity to enhance the taste of food. But what is behind it? And could this device even become a game changer in the restaurant industry?
