For shoppers searching for the best Miele kitchen appliances in 2027, these four picks are all fully automatic coffee machines, but they solve different daily routines. I rank the CM 6160 MilkPerfection first for its useful balance of drink customization, a larger water tank, and four saved profiles. The CM 7750 CoffeeSelect is the clearest choice for households that switch among several bean varieties, while the CM 5310 Silence makes more sense for buyers who want a compact, simpler setup.

The key tradeoffs are not just drink menus. I also weigh bean capacity and variety, saved profiles, footprint, and the practical work of keeping milk parts clean. The CM 6360 offers the most profiles of the four, but it stores only one bean type; the CM 7750 handles three varieties, yet takes up more counter space and weighs considerably more. These are not four interchangeable machines, so my rankings focus on who benefits from each model—and who should choose another.
Complete the kit
Key Takeaways
- The CM 6160 is my best overall pick for a household that wants milk drinks, four saved profiles, Wi-Fi, and a 1.8 L tank without stepping up to the larger CM 7750.
- Choose the CM 7750 if keeping three bean varieties ready to brew matters more than a lighter, smaller machine.
- The CM 5310 is the most compact model here and supports both beans and ground coffee, but its 1.3 L water tank means more frequent refills than the CM 6160 or CM 6360.
- The CM 6360 leads on saved drink profiles, with eight, while matching the CM 6160’s listed water and bean capacity; it still has just one bean container.
- All four models automate milk-line rinsing and offer removable components, but anyone who dislikes routine milk-system care should look beyond milk-focused bean-to-cup machines.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Miele CM 6160 MilkPerfection Fully Automatic Coffee and Espresso Machine
I give the CM 6160 MilkPerfection the top spot because its feature mix suits more households than the specialized alternatives. It makes coffee, espresso, milk-based drinks, tea, and hot water; it can prepare two servings of a specialty drink; and its four saved profiles let different users keep preferred settings without turning each cup into a fresh setup exercise. Compared with the CM 5310, it adds a larger 1.8 L water tank and more personalization. Compared with the CM 6360, it offers fewer profiles, but the core capacity and listed footprint are similar.
The 10.6 oz bean container and 1.8 L tank make this a better fit for regular use than the smaller CM 5310, whose 1.3 L tank calls for more frequent refilling. The adjustable spout accommodates cups from 3.1 to 5.5 inches, and the conical steel grinder and adjustable beverage settings give owners some control over the results. WiFiConnect adds connected functionality, though I would treat that as a bonus rather than the main reason to choose it. The strongest case is its balance of shared-household customization and everyday drink range.
There are two qualifications. First, this model’s product information lists conflicting voltage and power figures: both 120 V and 220–240 V appear, as do 1.45 kW and 1.5 kW. I would verify the exact electrical specification for the unit being sold before purchase rather than assume the listing is consistent. Second, the coffee pot is sold separately, so buyers expecting a ready-made batch-brewing accessory should check what is included. Like the other milk-focused models, it still requires attention to removable brew and milk parts despite automatic rinsing. I would choose it over the CM 7750 for a more manageable everyday machine, but not if keeping three beans loaded at once is the priority.
Pros:- Four saved profiles support different household preferences.
- 1.8 L water tank and 10.6 oz bean container provide more capacity than the CM 5310.
- OneTouch for Two prepares two servings of a specialty drink.
- Removable brewing and milk components, automatic rinsing, and cleaning programs support routine care.
Cons:- Product information conflicts on voltage and rated power, so the exact unit specification needs confirmation.
- Coffee pot is sold separately.
- Offers four profiles, fewer than the CM 6360’s eight.
Best for: Households that want milk drinks, tea and hot water, dual servings, and several saved preferences in a mid-size machine.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need verified electrical details immediately, want three bean types ready at once, or expect a coffee pot accessory in the box.
- Type:Fully automatic coffee and espresso machine
- Water tank:1.8 L
- Bean container:10.6 oz
- Saved profiles:Up to 4
- Grinder:Wear-resistant conical steel grinder
- Connectivity:WiFiConnect
- Dimensions:16.8 × 9.9 × 14.1 in
- Beverage volume:20–300 ml
Our verdict“I recommend the CM 6160 as the most balanced pick for households that want broad drink choices and personalized settings without the CM 7750’s three-bean focus.”
Miele CM 7750 CoffeeSelect Fully Automatic Coffee and Espresso Machine
The CM 7750 CoffeeSelect earns its place for one clear reason: it stores three varieties of beans. For drinkers who move between a familiar morning coffee, a different espresso, and a decaffeinated option, separate bean containers make that choice easier than swapping beans in and out of the single container on the CM 6160 or CM 6360. It also accepts ground coffee, so the extra bean flexibility does not eliminate the option of using a pre-ground choice.
This is the most capacity-focused model in the lineup. Its 2.2 L water tank exceeds the 1.8 L tanks on the CM 6160 and CM 6360 and the 1.3 L tank on the CM 5310. The machine also supports one-touch preparation for one or two people, includes a coffee pot function, and uses a CupSensor to adjust the central spout to cup height. Automatic descaling and a removable brew unit are meaningful conveniences for ongoing care. Wi-Fi connectivity adds another layer of integration, though the CM 6160 and CM 6360 also offer connected features.
The exchange for that versatility is physical size. At 31.3 lb and 17.5 inches wide, it is considerably heavier and wider than the other three listed machines, so I would measure the counter and route to the installation spot before buying. The supplied information lists 120 V; buyers should confirm that specification against the precise unit and their kitchen setup. This is also not the pick for someone who simply wants the most user profiles: the CM 6360 lists eight, while the CM 7750’s distinguishing feature is bean selection, not profile count. I would skip it if the household uses one regular bean and needs an easier-to-place appliance.
Pros:- Three bean containers keep different coffee varieties available without routine bean swaps.
- 2.2 L water capacity is the largest listed in this group.
- Accepts ground coffee and supports one-touch drinks for one or two people.
- Automatic descaling, a removable brew unit, and dishwasher-safe components help with maintenance.
Cons:- At 31.3 lb and 17.5 inches wide, it is the heaviest and widest model listed.
- Its three-bean advantage may be unnecessary for households that use one coffee.
- Buyers should verify electrical requirements for the specific unit before purchase.
Best for: Coffee drinkers who rotate among several bean varieties and value a larger water tank and one-touch serving options.
Not ideal for: Small kitchens, buyers who rarely change beans, or anyone prioritizing a lighter appliance and a compact counter footprint.
- Type:Fully automatic espresso machine
- Bean containers:3
- Water capacity:2.2 L
- Coffee input:Beans and ground coffee
- Wattage:1.45 kW
- Voltage:120 V listed
- Dimensions:12.2 × 17.5 × 15.6 in (D × W × H)
- Weight:31.3 lb
Our verdict“I would choose the CM 7750 when three ready-to-use bean varieties are worth giving up counter space and a lighter machine.”
Miele CM 6360 MilkPerfection Fully Automatic Coffee and Espresso Machine
The CM 6360 MilkPerfection is the profile specialist in this group. It stores up to eight drink profiles, twice the number listed for the CM 6160, making it a stronger match for a household where several people want their own saved drink settings. Its lineup covers coffee, espresso, cappuccino, milk froth, hot water, and tea, and OneTouch for Two can prepare two specialty drinks at once. The heated cup rest and BrilliantLight are smaller quality-of-use touches; the more substantial distinction is the profile capacity.
Its listed core dimensions, 1.8 L tank, and 10.6 oz bean container closely match the CM 6160. That makes the choice between them less about footprint or capacity and more about how each household uses customization. The CM 6160 has four profiles and also lists adjustable beverage settings, a conical steel grinder, Wi-Fi, and tea and hot-water options. The CM 6360 raises the profile limit and adds features such as DoubleShot, but it still has one bean container. If rotating among beans matters, the CM 7750 is the better match despite its larger build.
Automatic rinsing and removable brew and milk components help with care, but the milk system remains a routine to manage. The coffee pot is sold separately, and the single bean compartment narrows its appeal for drinkers who want multiple roasts ready at the touch of a button. Its Lotus White finish may be a useful fit for a lighter kitchen scheme, but I would not rank appearance above the functional differences. Choose this over the CM 6160 when the extra saved profiles will be used; otherwise, the CM 6160 covers much of the same daily territory with a lower profile limit.
Pros:- Stores up to eight individual drink profiles.
- OneTouch for Two supports paired specialty drinks.
- 1.8 L water tank and 10.6 oz bean container match the CM 6160’s listed capacity.
- Removable components, automatic rinsing, and cleaning programs support maintenance.
Cons:- Uses one bean container, unlike the CM 7750’s three-container setup.
- Coffee pot is sold separately.
- The profile advantage over the CM 6160 matters less for households with only one or two regular users.
Best for: Households with many individual drink preferences that want up to eight saved profiles and a milk-focused drink menu.
Not ideal for: People who regularly switch between bean varieties, want a coffee pot included, or will not use more than a few saved profiles.
- Type:Freestanding fully automatic bean-to-cup machine
- Water tank:1.8 L
- Bean container:10.6 oz; one bean type
- Drink profiles:Up to 8
- Grinder:Selectable conical grinder settings
- Connectivity:Wi-Fi
- Dimensions:16.8 × 9.9 × 14.1 in (D × W × H)
- Voltage:120 V
Our verdict“I recommend the CM 6360 for households that will use its eight profiles, but the CM 6160 is the more sensible fit when four profiles are enough.”
Miele CM 5310 Silence Fully Automatic Coffee and Espresso Machine
The CM 5310 Silence is my compact pick because it is only 9.5 inches wide, substantially narrower than the listed 16.8-inch-wide CM 6160 and CM 6360. That distinction matters when counter space is limited or the machine must share a crowded work surface. It still covers a broad everyday menu, including espresso, coffee, cappuccino, latte macchiato, hot milk, and milk froth. It accepts both whole beans and ground coffee, which gives it a practical alternative to the single-bean setup of the CM 6360.
Its OneTouch for Two feature prepares two specialty drinks at once, so the smaller format does not limit it to solo use. The steel conical grinder has selectable settings, and the model’s Silence designation reflects its quiet-grinder positioning in the supplied product details. Removable brew and milk components, automatic milk-line rinsing, and dishwasher-safe parts help reduce the friction of routine cleaning. Compared with the CM 6160, however, this machine gives up tank capacity and saved user profiles: the 1.3 L tank is smaller than the 1.8 L tanks on the CM 6160 and CM 6360, and no profile count is supplied.
That smaller tank is the central tradeoff. It may be perfectly manageable for a couple or a lighter-use household, but frequent drink preparation means more refills than on the other models. The 7 oz bean container is also smaller than the 10.6 oz containers listed for the CM 6160 and CM 6360. The coffee pot is sold separately, and its spout height tops out at 5.3 inches, slightly below the 5.5 inches listed for the MilkPerfection models. I would choose it for a narrow counter and a straightforward routine—not for a high-volume kitchen or a household that wants several personal profiles.
Pros:- At 9.5 inches wide, it is much narrower than the other listed models.
- Accepts whole beans and ground coffee.
- OneTouch for Two prepares two specialty drinks simultaneously.
- Automatic milk-line rinsing and dishwasher-safe components aid routine cleaning.
Cons:- Its 1.3 L water tank is smaller than the tanks in the other three models.
- The 7 oz bean container is smaller than the CM 6160 and CM 6360 containers.
- Coffee pot is sold separately, and no saved-profile count is provided.
Best for: Buyers with limited counter width who want automatic espresso and milk drinks, dual servings, and the option to use ground coffee.
Not ideal for: High-volume households that want fewer water refills, larger bean storage, or several saved user profiles.
- Type:Fully automatic bean-to-cup coffee and espresso machine
- Dimensions:9.5 × 18.1 × 14.2 in (W × D × H)
- Weight:21 lb
- Water tank:1.3 L
- Bean container:7 oz
- Coffee input:Whole beans and ground coffee
- Grinder:Wear-resistant steel conical grinder with selectable settings
- Serving size:20–300 ml
Our verdict“I would pick the CM 5310 for a tight counter and a moderate coffee routine, but choose a larger-capacity model for frequent household use.”
How We Picked
I compared these four Miele appliances as daily-use kitchen machines, rather than treating their drink lists as a scorecard. Every model here grinds beans and prepares coffee and espresso, and each supports milk-based drinks. The useful differences show up in how much they can personalize a routine, how many bean types they keep ready, how often owners may need to refill water, and how much counter space the appliance claims.
My ranking gives the most weight to practical flexibility: saved user settings, drink options, dual-serving features, bean and water capacity, and the cleaning provisions stated in the product details. I also distinguish convenience features that help a particular household from features that may go unused. Four profiles can help a family with different preferences; three bean containers are more valuable to coffee drinkers who regularly change origins or roasts. Neither feature is automatically better for everyone.
I treat footprint and maintenance as part of the purchase decision, not fine print. The CM 5310 is notably narrower than the other listed models, while the CM 7750 is heavier and wider. All four include ways to clean the brewing or milk system, but automatic rinsing does not mean a milk machine needs no upkeep. Finally, I do not rank by unsupported claims about flavor or reliability. The product information gives useful details about grinders, settings, and care, but it does not provide a common independent test basis for those claims. Buyers should confirm the exact model’s electrical requirements and included accessories with the seller, especially where listing details conflict or describe coffee pots as separate accessories.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Best Miele Kitchen Appliances
I would choose among these Miele machines by starting with the kitchen routine, not the longest feature list. The biggest decisions are how many people use the machine, whether they want separate saved drinks, whether they change beans often, and how much counter space is available. Capacity and cleaning habits then help narrow the choice.
Decide whether profiles or bean variety matters more
The CM 6360 has the most listed drink profiles, with eight; the CM 6160 offers four. Profiles are useful when people want their own stored settings for drink size or strength rather than adjusting each cup. By contrast, the CM 7750 keeps three bean varieties ready to use. That is a different kind of personalization: it helps drinkers choose among coffees, not simply save individual preferences. The CM 5310 has no profile count in the supplied details, but it does accept both beans and ground coffee. I would not pay attention to a larger number without asking whether it matches an actual habit.
Match tank and bean capacity to daily volume
The CM 5310’s 1.3 L water tank and 7 oz bean container make it the most compact option, but also the one most likely to need replenishment sooner in a busy household. The CM 6160 and CM 6360 each list a 1.8 L tank and a 10.6 oz bean container, a useful middle ground for regular use. The CM 7750 raises water capacity to 2.2 L and adds its three bean containers. Larger capacity can reduce interruptions, though it does not automatically make a machine the right fit if it takes up too much space or its extra features will go unused.
Measure the counter, including room to operate
The CM 5310 is 9.5 inches wide, while the CM 6160 and CM 6360 list widths of 9.9 inches; those figures make the three notably narrower than the CM 7750 at 17.5 inches wide. Check the full dimensions, not width alone: depth and height affect placement beneath cabinets, and access to the water tank and bean compartment matters for refilling. The CM 7750 also weighs 31.3 lb, substantially more than the other listed machines, so I would plan its location before lifting or installing it. Product dimensions can be presented in different orders, so confirm which figure refers to width, depth, and height for the exact model.
Treat milk-system cleaning as a regular task
Each of these machines is designed to simplify cleaning with some combination of automatic rinsing, removable milk pipework, removable brew units, and dishwasher-safe parts. Those provisions can reduce manual effort, but they do not remove the need to follow the maker’s cleaning and descaling instructions. If the household makes cappuccinos and other milk drinks daily, the ease of accessing and rinsing milk components matters more than it would for an espresso-only routine. The CM 7750 lists automatic descaling and a removable brew unit; the CM 5310 lists automatic milk-line rinsing and dishwasher-safe water and waste containers. Compare the supplied care instructions and consumables for the specific model before committing.
Check accessories and electrical details before ordering
The product information states that a coffee pot is sold separately for the CM 5310, CM 6160, and CM 6360, so I would not assume a batch-serving accessory is included. The CM 6160 listing also contains conflicting voltage and power figures. Confirm the electrical specification, included accessories, and exact regional model with the seller before purchase; do not rely on a generic product-page summary when the listing contradicts itself. For all four, check whether the included cleaning or descaling supplies suit the intended maintenance schedule.
Think through drink choices, not just the headline menu
All four prepare coffee and espresso, and each supports milk drinks, but their listed options differ. The CM 6160 and CM 6360 include tea and hot water; the CM 5310 includes a broad range of coffee and milk preparations. The CM 7750’s standout is bean selection and its coffee pot function. A longer menu only helps if people will use it. I would shortlist two models based on capacity and household preferences, then compare the exact drinks, cup clearance, and cleaning routine relevant to the drinks made most often.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Miele machine is the best overall choice in this roundup?
I rank the CM 6160 MilkPerfection first for its balance of drink range, four saved profiles, OneTouch for Two, Wi-Fi, and a 1.8 L water tank. It is a stronger everyday fit than the CM 5310 for households that make drinks regularly, while taking a less specialized approach than the CM 7750’s three-bean system. Its product details list conflicting electrical specifications, so I would confirm the exact unit before ordering.
Which model is best if I want to use different coffee beans?
The CM 7750 CoffeeSelect is the clear choice for that routine because it stores three bean varieties. The other models use a single listed bean container, although the CM 5310 and CM 7750 also accept ground coffee. If you usually stick to one bean, the CM 6160 or CM 6360 may be a more practical use of counter space.
What is the difference between the CM 6160 and CM 6360?
The most visible distinction in the supplied details is saved personalization: the CM 6160 lists up to four profiles, while the CM 6360 lists up to eight. Both have 1.8 L water tanks, 10.6 oz bean containers, OneTouch for Two, and similar listed dimensions. I would pick the CM 6360 when more household members need stored preferences; otherwise, the CM 6160 offers a closely related capacity and drink routine.
Is the CM 5310 suitable for a small kitchen?
It is the strongest fit here for a narrow counter because it measures 9.5 inches wide, compared with the listed 16.8-inch width of the CM 6160 and CM 6360 and 17.5-inch width of the CM 7750. Its smaller 1.3 L tank and 7 oz bean container are the tradeoff, so it is better suited to moderate use than a high-volume household. Measure depth and height as well as width before choosing a spot.
Do these Miele machines require manual cleaning?
All four include cleaning aids such as automatic milk-line rinsing, removable components, or cleaning programs, but those features do not mean the machine is maintenance-free. Milk pipework, brew components, containers, and descaling still need care according to the model’s instructions. If milk drinks are part of the daily routine, I would compare the exact cleaning steps and included supplies before deciding.
Conclusion
My recommendation depends on what the machine needs to do every day. For the broadest balance of household features, I would start with the CM 6160 MilkPerfection, after confirming its electrical specification. For multiple beans and the largest listed water tank, the CM 7750 CoffeeSelect is the specialist pick—provided its larger footprint works in the kitchen. If many people need distinct saved drinks, I would choose the CM 6360 MilkPerfection for its eight profiles. For a narrow counter and lighter use, the CM 5310 Silence is the most space-conscious option, with smaller water and bean capacities to accept.
Before buying, I would measure the intended spot, confirm voltage and included accessories for the exact unit, and think honestly about milk-system upkeep. That short checklist matters more than choosing the machine with the longest feature list: the right Miele is the one whose capacity, customization, and cleaning routine fit the way your household actually makes coffee.
