For a Miele kitchen appliance that earns a place on the counter every morning, I’d start with the CM 6160 MilkPerfection for its blend of drink range, user profiles, and everyday capacity. The CM 5310 Silence is the more straightforward choice for households that want two milk drinks at once without moving up to a larger, more elaborate machine, while the CM 7750 CoffeeSelect stands apart for keeping three bean varieties ready.

These four picks are all fully automatic coffee and espresso machines, so the decision is less about choosing between unrelated appliance types and more about matching bean flexibility, customization, cleaning routines, and counter space to your household. The higher-feature models add conveniences such as more profiles, Wi-Fi, or separate bean containers, but they take up more room and can add maintenance dependencies. I’ve ranked them by how broadly useful their features are, how clear their tradeoffs are, and how well they suit distinct buyer needs.

Key Takeaways
- The CM 6160 is my best overall pick: it combines OneTouch for Two, four user profiles, Wi-Fi, and a 1.8-liter water tank without the CM 7750’s larger footprint.
- Choose the CM 5310 if you want a quieter, more compact everyday machine and can live without Wi-Fi and multiple saved profiles.
- The CM 7750 is the clearest fit for households that rotate among three bean varieties, but its 31.3-pound weight and wider, deeper body need planning.
- The CM 6360 offers up to eight connoisseur profiles and a glass milk container, though the supplied specifications give conflicting voltage and wattage information.
- All four support two-drink preparation and milk drinks; routine cleaning still matters, and the coffee pot accessory is sold separately where stated.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Miele CM 6160 MilkPerfection Fully Automatic Coffee and Espresso Machine
The CM 6160 MilkPerfection earns my top spot because it combines the features most likely to matter across a household without leaning on a single niche advantage. It prepares espresso, coffee, cappuccino, milk froth, hot water, and tea, and its OneTouch for Two function can make two specialty drinks at once. That makes it more accommodating than a basic one-cup routine while remaining a better-balanced everyday choice than the larger CM 7750.
Its 1.8-liter water tank and 10.6-ounce bean container give it a useful middle ground: more capacity than the CM 5310’s 1.3-liter tank and 7-ounce container, without the CM 7750’s noticeably heavier 31.3-pound build. Four programmable profiles let regular drinkers save preferences, and Wi-FiConnect adds connected operation. I see those as practical extras for households with a few repeat users, rather than a reason to pay attention to connectivity for its own sake.
The tradeoff is that it does not match the CM 6360’s stated support for up to eight profiles, nor the CM 7750’s three separate bean containers. If your household wants different beans ready without changing the hopper, the CoffeeSelect is the more purpose-built option. The CM 6160 also has a listed voltage conflict: the supplied information says both 120 V and 220–240 V. I would verify the exact unit’s electrical requirements before purchase. A coffee pot for the pot function is sold separately, and routine cleaning still involves descaling and caring for removable parts.
Compared with the CM 5310, the CM 6160 is the more flexible shared machine, especially for homes where people want saved drink settings or tea and hot water from the same appliance. The 5310 remains appealing if simplicity and a quieter grinder matter more. I rank this model first because its combination of capacity, customization, and two-drink convenience suits more kinds of daily use than any single specialty feature in the other picks.
Pros:- OneTouch for Two prepares two specialty drinks at once.
- Four user profiles save drink preferences for regular household users.
- The 1.8-liter tank and 10.6-ounce bean container offer more capacity than the CM 5310.
- Wi-FiConnect, automatic milk-line rinsing, and cleanable removable parts support a flexible routine.
Cons:- The supplied specifications conflict on voltage, listing both 120 V and 220–240 V.
- The coffee pot accessory for the pot function is sold separately.
- It has fewer saved profiles than the CM 6360 and no three-container bean system like the CM 7750.
Best for: Households that want a versatile daily coffee station with two-drink preparation, four saved profiles, Wi-Fi, and more capacity than the CM 5310.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need three bean varieties ready at once, want the smallest machine in the lineup, or cannot confirm the correct voltage for their specific unit.
- Coffee input:Whole beans and ground coffee
- Water tank:1.8 L
- Bean container:10.6 oz
- User profiles:Up to 4
- Grinder:Wear-resistant steel conical grinder
- Connectivity:Wi-FiConnect
- Dimensions:16.8 × 9.9 × 14.1 in (D × W × H)
- Weight:21.8 lb
- Power information:1.45 kW; supplied details also list voltage as 120 V and 220–240 V
Our verdict“I recommend the CM 6160 as the most balanced choice for households that want varied drinks, two-at-once preparation, and useful customization without the CM 7750’s larger build.”
Miele CM 5310 Silence Fully Automatic Bean-to-Cup Coffee and Espresso Machine
The CM 5310 Silence is my pick for buyers who value a more contained daily setup over connectivity and extensive profile storage. Its defining distinction is a quiet steel conical grinder with selectable settings, paired with the same useful two-drink idea found on the other models: OneTouch for Two can prepare two specialty drinks together. That makes it a sensible fit for a household that wants cappuccino or latte macchiato without stepping up to the CM 7750’s larger body or three bean containers.
It handles whole beans and ground coffee, an advantage if you want to keep decaf or a particular ground blend available without emptying the main bean hopper. The menu covers espresso, coffee, long coffee, milk drinks, hot milk, and a coffee-pot function. Its footprint is listed at 9.5 × 18.1 × 14.2 inches, and its 21-pound weight is easier to place than the CM 7750. The 1.3-liter tank and 7-ounce bean container are smaller than those on the CM 6160 and CM 6360, so frequent drinkers may refill it more often.
That smaller capacity is part of the bargain in convenience, not a minor detail to ignore. The CM 5310 has no Wi-Fi or listed user profiles, so it is less tailored to a household where several people want different saved settings. Compared with the CM 6160, it gives up the larger tank and four profiles; compared with the CM 7750, it gives up the three-bean arrangement. In return, it focuses on quieter grinding and the core drink-making routine rather than a more elaborate set of controls.
Cleaning features help, but do not make upkeep disappear. The machine automatically rinses and cleans its milk line, and several components are dishwasher-safe. Manual descaling is still required, and the coffee pot is sold separately. I rank it below the CM 6160 because the latter is more broadly adaptable, but the CM 5310 is the clearest choice for buyers who want a quieter, less complex Miele coffee station and do not need multiple saved profiles.
Pros:- Quiet steel conical grinder has selectable settings.
- OneTouch for Two can prepare two specialty drinks at once.
- Accepts both whole beans and ground coffee.
- Automatic milk-line rinsing and dishwasher-safe components ease routine cleanup.
Cons:- The 1.3-liter tank and 7-ounce bean container are smaller than those on the CM 6160 and CM 6360.
- Manual descaling is required.
- The coffee pot accessory is sold separately, and no Wi-Fi or user profiles are listed.
Best for: Coffee drinkers who want a quieter grinder, ground-coffee flexibility, and two specialty drinks at once in a less elaborate machine.
Not ideal for: Large households that make drinks throughout the day, users who want Wi-Fi or saved profiles, or anyone seeking the largest water and bean capacities here.
- Coffee input:Whole beans and ground coffee
- Water tank:1.3 L
- Bean container:7 oz
- Drip tray:0.8 L
- Drink portion:20–300 ml
- Grinder:Wear-resistant steel conical grinder with selectable settings
- Dimensions:9.5 × 18.1 × 14.2 in (D × W × H)
- Weight:21 lb
- Power:1.45 kW, 120 V
Our verdict“I’d choose the CM 5310 for a quieter, straightforward two-drink setup, but I’d move to the CM 6160 if larger capacity and saved profiles matter.”
Miele CM 7750 CoffeeSelect Fully Automatic Coffee and Espresso Machine
The CM 7750 CoffeeSelect is the specialist in this group: its three bean containers let a household keep multiple varieties ready without treating every change in taste as a hopper-clearing project. That is a meaningful difference from the single-container CM 6160 and CM 6360. If one person prefers a darker bean, another drinks decaf, or you switch between varieties for different drinks, the CoffeeSelect is the model built around that pattern.
It keeps the convenience expected of a fully automatic machine. The CM 7750 makes espresso, cappuccino, latte, and other drinks, supports two drinks at once, and can froth milk directly into a cup. Its CupSensor adjusts the central spout to cup height, while Wi-FiConnect adds connected operation. The removable brew unit and automatic milk-pipe rinsing support cleaning, and the supplied package includes a glass milk container, cleaning tablets, and a descaling cartridge. Those are useful housekeeping provisions, though they do not remove the need to clean and maintain the machine.
The main cost in kitchen terms is its size and weight: at 31.3 pounds and 12.2 × 17.5 × 15.6 inches, it is substantially heavier than the CM 6160, CM 5310, and CM 6360. Buyers should plan a permanent counter location rather than assuming it will be easy to move around. The water capacity is listed as 2.2 liters, the largest stated figure in this group, which may reduce refill interruptions compared with the CM 5310. Its three containers also add capability only if you actually rotate through beans; for a single everyday blend, the CM 6160 is a more balanced choice.
Automatic descaling uses a descaling cartridge, so owners should be comfortable with that maintenance approach and its ongoing supply requirement. Compared with the CM 6360, the CM 7750 prioritizes bean selection and a larger stated capacity rather than a high profile count. I rank it third overall because its specialized bean system is compelling for the right home, but its large footprint and heavier build make it less universally convenient than the CM 6160.
Pros:- Three bean containers keep several varieties available.
- OneTouch for Two prepares two specialty drinks at once.
- CupSensor adjusts the central spout to cup height.
- Removable brew unit, automatic milk-pipe rinsing, and included descaling cartridge support routine care.
Cons:- At 31.3 pounds, it is much heavier than the other three machines.
- Its 12.2 × 17.5 × 15.6-inch dimensions need a generous, planned countertop space.
- Automatic descaling requires a descaling cartridge.
Best for: Households that regularly rotate among several coffee beans, including different varieties for different people or drinks.
Not ideal for: Small kitchens, buyers who need a light machine they can move often, or households that use one bean variety and would not benefit from three containers.
- Coffee input:Whole beans and ground coffee
- Bean containers:3
- Capacity:2.2 L
- Connectivity:Wi-FiConnect
- Drink preparation:Two drinks at once; milk can be frothed directly into a cup
- Dimensions:12.2 × 17.5 × 15.6 in (D × W × H)
- Weight:31.3 lb
- Power:1.45 kW, 120 V
- Included components:Glass milk container, descaling cartridge, cleaning tablets, and operating instructions
Our verdict“I recommend the CM 7750 when multiple ready-to-use bean varieties matter more than a compact body or a simpler ownership routine.”
Miele CM 6360 MilkPerfection Fully Automatic Coffee and Espresso Machine
The CM 6360 MilkPerfection is a close relative of the CM 6160, but its strongest appeal is the stated support for up to eight connoisseur profiles. That gives it an edge for a larger household or a group of regular users who want their own drink settings. The CM 6160 lists up to four profiles, so the 6360 makes more sense when personalization across several people is a daily need rather than a feature that will sit unused.
Both models share a 1.8-liter water tank, 10.6-ounce bean container, 21.8-pound weight, similar dimensions, Wi-Fi, and OneTouch for Two. The CM 6360 also prepares espresso, coffee, cappuccino, milk froth, hot water, and tea, and includes a glass milk container. Its coffee pot function expands the drink routine, but the coffee pot itself is sold separately. Compared with the CM 7750, this machine is far lighter and easier to accommodate, while giving up the three-container setup and larger stated capacity.
There is a significant caveat in the supplied product information: it lists both 120 V and 220–240 V, and both 1.45 kW and 1.5 kW. Those contradictions make it hard to treat the electrical details as settled. I would check the exact model’s rating plate and installation requirements with the seller before buying, particularly if the kitchen has specific circuit or regional requirements. This is a more consequential uncertainty than a small difference in listed dimensions.
Cleaning support includes automatic milk-line rinsing, cleaning programs, removable parts, and a removable brew unit. That makes daily care more manageable than a machine with no automated rinse, but it still requires ongoing cleaning and descaling. I rank the CM 6360 fourth not because its feature set is weak—it has the highest profile count stated here—but because it overlaps closely with the CM 6160 while carrying unresolved electrical specification conflicts. For buyers who can verify those details and need more saved profiles than the CM 6160 offers, it may be the better fit.
Pros:- Supports up to eight connoisseur profiles for individual drink preferences.
- OneTouch for Two prepares two specialty drinks at once.
- Includes a glass milk container and offers Wi-Fi connectivity.
- Automatic milk-line rinsing, cleaning programs, and a removable brew unit support upkeep.
Cons:- Supplied details conflict on voltage, listing both 120 V and 220–240 V.
- Supplied details also conflict on wattage, listing 1.45 kW and 1.5 kW.
- The coffee pot is sold separately, and it has only one bean container.
Best for: Multi-user households that want up to eight saved drink profiles, a glass milk container, and broad beverage options in a mid-sized machine.
Not ideal for: Buyers who cannot verify electrical requirements, people who need several bean varieties ready at once, or anyone who would not use more than four profiles.
- Coffee input:Whole beans and ground coffee
- Water tank:1.8 L
- Bean container:10.6 oz
- Milk container:0.7 L glass container included
- Profiles:Up to 8 connoisseur profiles
- Drinks:Espresso, coffee, cappuccino, milk froth, hot water, tea, and more
- Dimensions:16.8 × 9.9 × 14.1 in (D × W × H)
- Weight:21.8 lb
- Power information:Wattage listed as 1.45 kW and 1.5 kW; voltage listed as 120 V and 220–240 V
Our verdict“I’d choose the CM 6360 over the CM 6160 when eight profiles are useful, but only after confirming the exact unit’s electrical specifications.”
How We Picked
I compared these four Miele machines as kitchen appliances rather than treating them as interchangeable coffee makers. Since every option is a fully automatic bean-to-cup model, the useful distinctions are how each handles different drink preferences, how much customization it supports, and what the owner must accommodate in the kitchen. I gave more weight to features that change daily use—such as two-drink preparation, separate bean containers, water capacity, and saved profiles—than to a long list of beverage names shared across several models.
The ranking also accounts for tradeoffs that can be easy to miss in a feature summary. A larger tank can mean fewer refills, but it does not help if the machine crowds the counter. Wi-Fi and profile settings can be useful in a multi-person household, while someone who makes one familiar coffee may not benefit from them. Cleaning support matters too: these machines offer rinsing or cleaning programs and removable or dishwasher-safe parts, but those features do not mean maintenance is hands-off. Descaling requirements and the separate coffee pot accessory remain relevant.
I used only the product information provided for this comparison. Where the supplied details conflict, especially the CM 6160 and CM 6360 electrical specifications, I flag that uncertainty rather than guessing which value applies. My order favors broad everyday usefulness first, then models with a more specialized strength or a meaningful limitation. The labels are intended to help match each machine to a buyer, not to suggest that one model suits every kitchen.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Best Miele Kitchen Appliances
Before choosing among these Miele machines, I’d narrow the decision to three practical questions: how many people will use it, whether they change beans or drink settings often, and how much counter space they can give it. The models overlap on core coffee and milk drinks, so these differences matter more than a longer list of shared beverages.
Match capacity to your daily routine
The CM 5310 has the smallest stated water tank and bean container here: 1.3 liters and 7 ounces. That can suit a one- or two-person household that makes a modest number of drinks, but frequent use means more refills than with the CM 6160 or CM 6360, both listed with a 1.8-liter tank and 10.6-ounce bean container. The CM 7750 lists a 2.2-liter capacity, which favors heavier use, although its larger body asks for more counter room. I would think about how often you want to refill and whether that convenience justifies a larger appliance in your kitchen.
All four offer drink portion ranges or automatic preparation suited to individual cups, and several support two drinks at once. Two-at-once preparation helps a couple make drinks together, but it does not replace capacity planning if the machine will serve a family throughout the morning. Also check the space around the machine for access to the tank and removable parts; a listed countertop footprint does not tell the whole story if cabinets or walls block routine maintenance.
Choose bean flexibility or saved profiles
If you use several whole-bean varieties, the CM 7750’s three separate bean containers are its clearest advantage. The other models have one listed bean container, though they can also accept ground coffee. That ground-coffee option can provide some flexibility for decaf or a guest preference, but it is not the same as keeping several beans ready to select. For households with different taste preferences, the CM 7750 is the dedicated option; for a single main bean with varied saved drink settings, the CM 6160 or CM 6360 may be a better match.
Profile counts distinguish the two MilkPerfection models: the CM 6160 lists four, while the CM 6360 lists up to eight. More profiles help when several regular users want distinct settings available without repeatedly changing drink parameters. They add less value if one or two people make the same drinks each day. I’d choose the CM 6160 for a broad shared routine and consider the CM 6360 only when the extra profiles solve a real household need—and after verifying its conflicting electrical specifications.
Treat cleaning features as support, not maintenance-free operation
Milk drinks involve extra care because milk residue needs regular attention. These machines include automatic milk-line rinsing or cleaning programs, and several have removable or dishwasher-safe components. The CM 7750 also has a removable brew unit and automatic milk-pipe rinsing; the CM 5310 calls for manual descaling. Those functions can make recurring upkeep more orderly, but owners still need to follow the machine’s cleaning instructions and keep up with descaling.
The descaling arrangements differ in the supplied descriptions. The CM 7750’s automatic descaling requires a cartridge, while the CM 5310 requires manual descaling. The CM 6160 and CM 6360 descriptions mention descaling tablets among included items but do not fully settle every routine requirement. I would review the product’s care instructions before purchase, especially if you prefer to avoid cartridge-based maintenance or want to know which parts can go in a dishwasher.
Measure the installation space and verify electrical details
The CM 7750 is the heaviest at 31.3 pounds, and its listed dimensions are larger than the other three models. It is best treated as a permanent countertop appliance. The CM 5310 is listed at 21 pounds; the CM 6160 and CM 6360 are 21.8 pounds each. Compare those figures with the available counter depth and the clearance needed to remove the water tank, bean containers, and cleaning parts. A machine that fits between cabinets may still be awkward if routine access is restricted.
Electrical information deserves extra attention for the CM 6160 and CM 6360 because their supplied details contain conflicting voltage listings; the CM 6360 also has two wattage values. I would not infer a correct value from the listing alone. Confirm the rating for the exact unit with the seller or its product label before connecting it. That check matters more than a small feature difference, since the machine needs to match the electrical setup in the kitchen.
Decide whether connected features will change your use
The CM 6160, CM 7750, and CM 6360 list Wi-Fi connectivity, while the CM 5310’s supplied information does not. Connected operation may appeal to buyers who want a more integrated appliance setup, but it should not outweigh basics such as drink preferences, cleaning, and available space. The CM 5310 remains a reasonable choice if a quiet grinder and simple everyday preparation matter more than app or network functions.
Likewise, special features are only useful when they fit your habits. The CM 7750’s CupSensor adjusts the spout to cup height, the CM 5310 emphasizes quiet grinding, and the MilkPerfection models offer profile customization. I’d rank these by how often they solve an actual inconvenience in your home, not by counting features. That approach makes the CM 6160 the most balanced starting point, while leaving a clear case for each specialized model.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Miele machine is the best all-around choice?
I rank the CM 6160 MilkPerfection first for its mix of two-drink preparation, four profiles, Wi-Fi, and a 1.8-liter water tank. It is more adaptable than the CM 5310 for a household with varied drink preferences, yet avoids the CM 7750’s heavier, larger build. I would still verify the electrical rating for the specific CM 6160 unit because the supplied details list conflicting voltage values.
Which model should I choose if I want several coffee beans ready?
The CM 7750 CoffeeSelect is the only model here with three bean containers, making it the strongest fit for homes that rotate among several varieties or keep a separate bean for decaf. The other machines can use ground coffee as well as whole beans, but their listed configurations do not provide multiple bean containers. Choose the CM 7750 only if that flexibility justifies its 31.3-pound weight and larger countertop footprint.
What is the difference between the CM 6160 and CM 6360?
Both have a 1.8-liter water tank, a 10.6-ounce bean container, Wi-Fi, OneTouch for Two, and similar listed dimensions. The CM 6160 lists four user profiles; the CM 6360 lists up to eight and includes a glass milk container. The CM 6360’s supplied specifications conflict on both voltage and wattage, so I would confirm the exact machine’s electrical rating before choosing it for its larger profile count.
Do these Miele machines make two drinks at once?
Each of the four supplied product descriptions lists two-drink preparation, including OneTouch for Two. That is useful when two people want a specialty drink at the same time, though it does not make the machines identical: the CM 7750 adds three bean containers, the CM 5310 emphasizes quieter grinding, and the MilkPerfection models offer saved profiles. Check the specific drink options and preparation instructions if you plan to make a particular pair of beverages regularly.
Are any of these coffee machines maintenance-free?
No. Automatic milk-line rinsing, cleaning programs, removable brew units, and dishwasher-safe components can make regular care easier, but they do not remove the need to clean parts and descale the machine. The CM 5310 specifies manual descaling, while the CM 7750’s automatic descaling uses a cartridge. I would check each model’s current care instructions and included supplies to understand the ongoing routine before buying.
Conclusion
For most households, I’d choose the CM 6160 MilkPerfection: its capacity, four profiles, Wi-Fi, and two-drink preparation make it the most balanced machine in this lineup. Pick the CM 5310 Silence if quieter grinding and a simpler routine matter more than saved profiles or a larger tank. The CM 7750 CoffeeSelect is the specialist choice for buyers who genuinely need three bean varieties ready, provided its size and weight work in the kitchen.
If your main priority is assigning saved drink preferences to a larger group, the CM 6360 MilkPerfection offers up to eight profiles and a glass milk container. I would only select it after confirming its exact voltage and wattage, since the supplied specifications disagree. Across all four, leave room for maintenance, remember that stated coffee pot functions may require a separately sold accessory, and choose the feature set that matches your routine rather than the longest feature list.
