When I compare the best Miele kitchen appliances in this lineup, I find four coffee machines aimed at different routines rather than four interchangeable upgrades. The CM 6160 MilkPerfection is my most balanced pick: it pairs a larger water tank and bean container than the CM 5310 with saved profiles and Wi-Fi. For a broader setup, the CM 7750 CoffeeSelect stores three bean varieties and offers a larger profile and water capacity, at the cost of more counter space and weight. The CM 5310 Silence keeps the feature set simpler, while the CM 6360 MilkPerfection adds a milk container and more profiles in a white finish.

The key choice is how much flexibility your household will use. Two-drink preparation appears across the range, but bean storage, drink personalization, coffee-powder support and maintenance differ. I rank these models by how well their stated features serve distinct buyer needs, then weigh those benefits against space, cleaning demands and specification clarity. This guide focuses on the four listed Miele bean-to-cup machines; it does not compare ovens, dishwashers or other Miele appliance categories.

Key Takeaways
- The CM 6160 is my balanced choice, with a 1.8 L tank, 10.6 oz bean container, four profiles and Wi-FiConnect.
- The CM 7750 is the only listed model with three bean containers, a 2.2 L water capacity and 10 user profiles; it is also the heaviest and largest by listed dimensions.

- The CM 6360 offers up to eight profiles and an included glass milk container, but the supplied specifications conflict on power and voltage.
- All four offer OneTouch for Two, and all list manual descaling except the CM 7750, which includes automatic descaling.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Miele CM 6160 MilkPerfection Fully Automatic Coffee and Espresso Machine
I rank the CM 6160 MilkPerfection first because its feature set lands between the simpler CM 5310 and the more specialized CM 7750. It has a 1.8 L water tank and a 10.6 oz bean container, both larger than the CM 5310’s listed capacities, so refills should be less frequent when several people use it. OneTouch for Two covers paired milk drinks, while four connoisseur profiles let regular users save preferences rather than resetting settings each time.
The model also includes DoubleShot, Wi-FiConnect and an illuminated cup area. Those additions make it more configurable than the CM 5310, which has neither profiles nor connectivity listed, without taking on the CM 7750’s three-bean setup and 31.3 lb weight. The removable milk pipework and brew unit, plus cleaning programs, give owners access to parts that need regular care.
Its limits are straightforward. Four profiles are fewer than the CM 6360’s stated maximum of eight and the CM 7750’s ten. It uses whole beans according to its supplied specifications, whereas the CM 5310 and CM 7750 also accept ground coffee. Descaling is manual, and the coffee pot is sold separately. I see it as the strongest all-round fit for a household that wants saved preferences and useful capacity without the CM 7750’s larger, heavier format.
Pros:- OneTouch for Two prepares two specialty drinks at once.
- Four programmable profiles save individual preferences.
- The 1.8 L tank and 10.6 oz bean container exceed the CM 5310’s listed capacities.
- Removable milk pipework and brew unit support hands-on cleaning.
Cons:- Only whole-bean input is listed, unlike the CM 5310 and CM 7750, which also accept ground coffee.
- Descaling is manual, and the coffee pot is sold separately.
Best for: Households that share a machine, want four saved drink profiles and value a larger tank and bean container than the CM 5310 provides.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need ground-coffee input, want more than four saved profiles, or prefer automatic descaling.
- Machine type:Fully automatic bean-to-cup espresso machine
- Bean container:10.6 oz
- Water tank:1.8 L
- Profiles:4 programmable connoisseur profiles
- Beverages:Espresso, coffee, cappuccino, milk froth, hot water and tea
- Grinder:Wear-resistant steel conical grinder with selectable settings
- Drink volume:20–300 ml
- Dimensions and weight:16.8 × 9.9 × 14.1 in; 21.8 lb
Our verdict“I recommend the CM 6160 for buyers who want personalization and useful capacity without stepping up to the CM 7750’s larger multi-bean format.”
Miele CM 7750 CoffeeSelect Fully Automatic Coffee and Espresso Machine
The CM 7750 CoffeeSelect stands apart by letting owners keep three kinds of beans in the machine. That is a meaningful distinction for households that rotate between decaf, a lighter roast and a regular espresso blend; the CM 6160 and CM 6360 list one 10.6 oz bean container, and the CM 5310 lists a 7 oz container. It also accepts ground coffee, giving it a second input option when a particular drink or guest calls for it.
Its scale is part of the proposition. A 2.2 L water capacity, ten user profiles, a coffee pot function for up to eight cups and OneTouch for Two support a high-use kitchen with varied preferences. Automatic milk-system rinsing and descaling reduce some recurring maintenance steps relative to the CM 6160 and CM 5310, which require manual descaling. A removable brew unit and dishwasher-safe components further support cleaning.
Those capabilities come with a substantial physical commitment: it weighs 31.3 lb and measures 12.2 × 17.5 × 15.6 in. It is considerably heavier and wider than the CM 6160 or CM 6360, each listed at 21.8 lb and 16.8 × 9.9 × 14.1 in. I rank it second because its broadest-in-lineup setup will be excessive for people who use one bean regularly or have limited counter space. For those who will use multiple beans and profiles, its distinctive configuration makes the extra size easier to justify.
Pros:- Three bean containers make it easy to keep different varieties ready.
- Accepts both whole beans and ground coffee.
- Ten profiles, OneTouch for Two and an up-to-eight-cup coffee pot function support varied serving needs.
- Automatic milk-system rinsing and descaling reduce some routine maintenance.
Cons:- At 31.3 lb, it is heavier than the other three listed models.
- Its listed dimensions require more counter space than the CM 6160 or CM 6360.
Best for: Larger households or coffee enthusiasts who regularly switch among bean varieties, want many saved profiles and can set aside substantial counter space.
Not ideal for: Small kitchens, buyers who keep one bean in rotation, or anyone who wants the lightest and simplest machine to move and maintain.
- Model:CM 7750 CoffeeSelect
- Bean containers:3
- Coffee input:Whole beans and ground coffee
- Water capacity:2.2 L
- User profiles:10
- Beverage features:OneTouch for Two and coffee pot function for up to 8 cups
- Maintenance:Automatic milk-system rinsing and descaling; removable brew unit
- Dimensions and weight:12.2 × 17.5 × 15.6 in; 31.3 lb
Our verdict“I would choose the CM 7750 when three bean varieties and ten profiles will see regular use and the kitchen can accommodate its larger build.”
Miele CM 6360 MilkPerfection Fully Automatic Coffee and Espresso Machine
For a household where different people want their own settings, the CM 6360 MilkPerfection offers a stated maximum of eight user profiles. That puts it between the CM 6160’s four profiles and CM 7750’s ten, while keeping the same listed dimensions and weight as the CM 6160. Its Lotus White finish also gives buyers a color option absent from the Obsidian Black models in this group.
The drink range includes coffee, espresso, cappuccino, milk froth, hot water and tea. OneTouch for Two and DoubleShot add convenient preparation choices, and the machine lists a 0.7 L milk container among its specifications. Unlike the CM 6160, which lists whole beans only, the CM 6360 includes a coffee powder drawer. Its removable brew unit and milk pipework, alongside automatic rinsing and cleaning programs, support routine upkeep.
Compared with the CM 7750, the CM 6360 is much lighter and has a smaller footprint, but it stores one bean container rather than three and has a smaller water tank. The supplied product details also conflict: they list power as both 1.45 kW and 1.5 kW, and voltage as both 120 V and 220–240 V. I would verify the specifications for the exact model and region before purchase. That uncertainty, along with its narrower bean capacity than the CM 7750, keeps it below the CM 6160 in my ranking.
Pros:- Up to eight user profiles accommodate more individual preferences than the CM 6160.
- Includes a glass milk container and lists a milk capacity of 0.7 L.
- Accepts whole beans and coffee powder.
- Automatic rinsing and cleaning programs support maintenance.
Cons:- Supplied specifications conflict on power and voltage; check the exact regional model details.
- One listed bean container offers less variety than the CM 7750’s three.
Best for: Households that want up to eight saved profiles, a white finish, coffee powder input and an included glass milk container.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want three bean varieties in the machine, need settled electrical specifications from the supplied details, or prefer manual milk handling.
- Coffee input:Whole beans and coffee powder drawer
- Water tank:1.8 L
- Bean container:10.6 oz
- Milk container:0.7 L; glass container included
- Profiles:Up to 8
- Beverage features:OneTouch for Two, DoubleShot and coffee pot function
- Connectivity:WiFiConnect
- Dimensions and weight:16.8 × 9.9 × 14.1 in; 21.8 lb
Our verdict“I recommend the CM 6360 to profile-focused households who prefer its white finish and milk container, provided they confirm the electrical details for their market.”
Miele CM 5310 Silence Fully Automatic Bean-to-Cup Coffee and Espresso Machine
The CM 5310 Silence makes the most sense for buyers who want automatic milk drinks and paired preparation but do not need a stack of saved profiles. Its OneTouch for Two feature matches the other three machines, and it can use whole beans or ground coffee. That second input gives it more flexibility than the CM 6160’s listed whole-bean-only setup, though the 5310 has a smaller 7 oz bean container and 1.3 L tank than the 6160’s 10.6 oz and 1.8 L capacities.
Its beverage menu covers espresso, coffee, long coffee, cappuccino, latte macchiato, Caffè Latte, hot milk and milk froth. Adjustable drink settings, a quiet steel grinder and automatic milk-line rinsing offer the core conveniences expected from this group. Dishwasher-safe components help with cleaning, but descaling remains manual. The coffee pot is sold separately, so buyers who want to prepare several cups at once should account for that accessory.
I place the CM 5310 fourth because its simpler feature set is a benefit only for a particular buyer. It does not list the profiles or Wi-FiConnect found on the CM 6160 and CM 6360, nor the three bean containers and automatic descaling of the CM 7750. It is the least complicated route here to two specialty drinks and ground-coffee support, but frequent users or households with several distinct drink preferences may find the larger models more accommodating.
Pros:- OneTouch for Two prepares two specialty drinks at once.
- Supports whole beans and ground coffee.
- Automatic milk-line rinsing and dishwasher-safe parts ease routine cleaning.
- Quiet grinder and adjustable drink settings cover everyday customization.
Cons:- The 1.3 L tank and 7 oz bean container are smaller than those of the CM 6160 and CM 6360.
- Descaling is manual, and the coffee pot is sold separately.
Best for: Buyers who want a relatively straightforward automatic machine with OneTouch for Two, ground-coffee support and dishwasher-safe parts.
Not ideal for: High-use households that want a larger water or bean capacity, saved user profiles, Wi-Fi features or automatic descaling.
- Machine type:Fully automatic bean-to-cup coffee machine
- Coffee input:Whole beans and ground coffee
- Bean container:7 oz
- Water tank:1.3 L
- Beverages:Ristretto, espresso, coffee, long coffee and milk-based drinks
- Grinder:Wear-resistant steel conical grinder with selectable settings
- Drink portion:20–300 ml
- Dimensions and weight:9.5 × 18.1 × 14.2 in; 21 lb
Our verdict“I would pick the CM 5310 for a simpler two-drink routine with ground-coffee flexibility, while frequent users may prefer the CM 6160’s added capacity and profiles.”
How We Picked
I compared the four models using the features and specifications supplied for this roundup. My ranking gives weight to the practical range of drinks, the ability to tailor settings for different people, bean and water capacity, and how clearly the maintenance routine is described. I also considered how much space and handling each machine asks of its owner. These criteria matter because a coffee machine can be capable on paper yet poorly matched to a small kitchen, a household with varied preferences, or someone who wants to switch beans often.
I treated shared features as a baseline rather than a ranking advantage. Each model lists OneTouch for Two and a quiet or conical steel grinder, so those features alone do not distinguish one from another. I gave more weight to meaningful differences: the CM 5310 supports whole beans and ground coffee; the CM 6160 adds four profiles, a larger tank than the 5310, Wi-FiConnect and DoubleShot; the CM 6360 lists up to eight profiles and an included milk container; and the CM 7750 has three bean containers, ten profiles and automatic descaling.
Tradeoffs shape the order as much as additions. The CM 7750 has the broadest configuration but also weighs 31.3 lb and has the largest listed footprint. The CM 6360’s product details give conflicting power and voltage values, so I do not treat those figures as settled. The CM 5310 and CM 6160 require manual descaling, and the coffee pot function on the CM 5310, CM 6160 and CM 6360 is described with a separately sold pot. I have not inferred performance or durability beyond the supplied descriptions.
The order reflects the strongest fit for a broad range of buyers first, then models with more specific advantages. I rank the CM 6160 first for its balance of capacity and personalization, the CM 7750 second for households that will make use of multiple bean types and extensive profiles, the CM 6360 third for profile flexibility in a white model with an included milk container, and the CM 5310 fourth as a more straightforward option. A lower ranking here reflects narrower fit, not a claim that the machine cannot make good coffee.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Best Miele Kitchen Appliances
I would choose among these four machines by matching daily use to capacity and customization. Their shared two-drink feature matters, but the differences in bean storage, profiles, cleaning and input options are more likely to affect ownership.Start with how many people use the machine
If one or two people make similar drinks, the CM 5310’s simpler controls and two input options may cover the routine. A shared household with different preferences can make better use of the CM 6160’s four profiles or CM 6360’s up-to-eight profiles. The CM 7750 goes furthest with ten. More profiles help only when people will save and use distinct settings; they add little for a household that orders the same drink each morning.
OneTouch for Two is listed on all four, so paired specialty drinks do not require choosing a model by that feature alone. If the household often serves several cups of regular coffee, compare the coffee pot function and remember that the CM 5310, CM 6160 and CM 6360 descriptions say the pot is sold separately. The CM 7750’s supplied description includes a function for up to eight cups, but confirm the included accessories for the specific listing.
Match bean capacity and coffee input to your habits
The CM 7750 is the clear choice for multiple varieties because it has three bean containers. That suits a household switching between regular, decaf and another roast without emptying a hopper. For one primary bean, the CM 6160 and CM 6360’s 10.6 oz containers offer more listed capacity than the CM 5310’s 7 oz container. The tank sizes follow a similar pattern: 2.2 L for the CM 7750, 1.8 L for the CM 6160 and CM 6360, and 1.3 L for the CM 5310.
Ground-coffee input can be useful for decaf or an occasional alternate coffee without changing the beans already loaded. The CM 5310 and CM 7750 explicitly support whole beans and ground coffee, and the CM 6360 lists a coffee powder drawer. The CM 6160 specifications list whole beans only. Check the precise machine configuration if powder input is a deciding requirement.
Think about cleaning as a recurring task
Milk systems need regular attention, so compare the maintenance details alongside drink menus. The CM 5310 lists automatic milk-line rinsing and dishwasher-safe components, while the CM 6160 lists removable milk pipework and brew unit with cleaning programs. The CM 6360 lists removable parts and automatic rinsing and cleaning programs. The CM 7750 adds automatic milk-system rinsing and automatic descaling, a difference that may matter to buyers who want fewer manual steps.
Automatic cleaning does not remove the need to follow the maker’s care instructions. The CM 5310 and CM 6160 explicitly require manual descaling in the supplied details. For the CM 6360, the product descriptions mention cleaning programs, while the included accessories list descaling tablets; check the model’s instructions for its descaling procedure. Compare the actual cleaning steps against how often you expect to make milk drinks.
Measure the counter before choosing
The CM 7750 is the heaviest at 31.3 lb and measures 12.2 × 17.5 × 15.6 in. Its multiple bean containers and larger water capacity come with a larger machine. The CM 6160 and CM 6360 are each listed at 21.8 lb and 16.8 × 9.9 × 14.1 in; the CM 5310 weighs 21 lb and measures 9.5 × 18.1 × 14.2 in. Dimensions are presented in different orders in the supplied details, so check the maker’s measurements and leave room for access to the tank and service points.
Counter depth, overhead cupboards and the direction a tank or service door opens can affect everyday convenience. The CM 7750’s capacity has a practical payoff when several bean types are in rotation, but it is harder to justify if space is tight. A smaller listed weight does not automatically mean the machine fits a particular counter, so compare the full dimensions with the available space before deciding.
Confirm regional specifications and accessories
The CM 6360 details conflict on voltage and power, listing both 120 V and 220–240 V, and both 1.45 kW and 1.5 kW. I would confirm the exact model number and electrical specifications for the destination country before ordering. The CM 5310’s supplied details likewise list 120 V alongside 220–240 V, despite identifying the product as a 120 V machine. That inconsistency merits checking for the specific listing.
Accessory descriptions also deserve a close read. The coffee pot is separately sold for the CM 5310 and CM 6160, and the CM 6360 description also says its pot is sold separately even though it lists a coffee pot function. The CM 7750 includes a glass milk container and descaling cartridge in its description. Confirm what comes in the box and whether a desired pot, milk container or cleaning supply is included with the exact listing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Miele machine in this lineup is best for most households?
I rank the CM 6160 MilkPerfection first for its balance of a 1.8 L tank, 10.6 oz bean container, four saved profiles, OneTouch for Two and Wi-FiConnect. It provides more capacity and personalization than the CM 5310 without the CM 7750’s three-bean arrangement and heavier body. A buyer who needs several bean varieties may be better served by the CM 7750, while someone who wants more profiles in a white model can compare the CM 6360.
Which model can hold multiple types of beans?
The CM 7750 CoffeeSelect is the only model in this comparison with three bean containers. That makes it the clearest fit for switching among regular, decaf or different roasts without replacing the beans in one hopper. It also accepts ground coffee. The CM 5310 and CM 7750 list ground-coffee input, and the CM 6360 lists a coffee powder drawer, but those are separate from the CM 7750’s multi-bean setup.
Do all four machines make two drinks at once?
Yes. Each product description lists Miele’s OneTouch for Two feature for preparing two specialty drinks at once. Since this convenience appears across all four, I would use profile count, bean and water capacity, input options and cleaning features to choose among them. The CM 7750 and CM 6360 also list a coffee pot function, as does the CM 6160; the supplied CM 5310 details say its coffee pot is sold separately.
Which machine has the simplest descaling routine?
The CM 7750 is the only one in the supplied descriptions that explicitly lists automatic descaling. The CM 5310 and CM 6160 require manual descaling. The CM 6360 lists automatic rinsing and cleaning programs and includes descaling tablets, but its exact descaling procedure is not specified in the product details here. I would check the model’s care instructions before treating its cleaning routine as equivalent to the CM 7750’s.
Should I choose the CM 6160 or the CM 6360?
I would favor the CM 6160 for four saved profiles, its 1.8 L water tank, 10.6 oz bean container and clearly listed 120 V supply. I would look at the CM 6360 if up to eight profiles, a Lotus White finish, coffee powder input or the included glass milk container better fits the household. Its supplied power and voltage figures conflict, so confirm the specifications for the exact regional model before purchase.
Conclusion
I would choose the CM 6160 MilkPerfection for a shared kitchen that needs saved preferences and balanced capacity. For a household that regularly rotates among beans and wants ten profiles plus automatic descaling, the CM 7750 CoffeeSelect is the specialist pick, provided its larger body fits the counter. The CM 6360 MilkPerfection suits buyers who want up to eight profiles, a white finish and an included milk container, with a check of its regional electrical specifications first. If a straightforward machine with ground-coffee support and paired drink preparation is the priority, I would choose the CM 5310 Silence. The right choice depends on which of those differences will shape the everyday routine.
