For shoppers searching for the best Miele kitchen appliances in a coffee-focused lineup, these four fully automatic machines differ less in basic drink-making than in how they handle beans, personalization, counter space, and upkeep. I put the CM 7750 CoffeeSelect first for households that want three bean choices and a ground-coffee chute; the CM 6360 MilkPerfection is the stronger fit for several people saving their own drinks; and the CM 5310 Silence is the more restrained choice for buyers who value quieter grinding and a compact width.

The tradeoff is straightforward: more flexibility can mean more machine to accommodate, while the smaller or simpler options give up some capacity or choice. All four can prepare drinks at the touch of a button, but they are not interchangeable. I ranked them by how well each model’s particular strengths match a clear household need, while weighing its practical drawbacks rather than treating the longest feature list as an automatic win.
Complete the kit
Key Takeaways
- CM 7750 CoffeeSelect offers the broadest bean flexibility: three bean containers plus a chute for ground coffee, at the cost of a wider, heavier footprint.
- CM 6360 MilkPerfection is the profile leader, saving preferences for eight users and adding DoubleShot, but it accepts only one bean type at a time.
- CM 6160 MilkPerfection balances customization, four profiles, and two-drink preparation in a narrower body than the CM 7750.
- CM 5310 Silence prioritizes quieter grinding and a 9.5-inch width, but its 1.3-liter tank is smaller than the 1.8-liter tanks in the CM 6160 and CM 6360.
- All four models support OneTouch for Two; compare bean storage, profile count, dimensions, and cleaning needs rather than assuming that feature alone separates them.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Miele CM 7750 CoffeeSelect Fully Automatic Coffee and Espresso Machine
I rank the CM 7750 CoffeeSelect first because its three bean containers solve a real limitation in the other models: the CM 6160, CM 6360, and CM 5310 each have a single bean container. If one person wants a darker roast and another prefers decaf, keeping several beans available without emptying the hopper makes this Miele the most adaptable choice here. It also accepts ground coffee through a separate chute, so a one-off decaf or a different blend need not displace the beans already stored.
That flexibility is paired with OneTouch for Two, a 2.2-liter water capacity, and a coffee pot function. CupSensor adjusts the central spout to cup height, which is useful when serving into cups of different sizes. Wi-Fi connectivity, automatic rinsing and descaling, a removable brew unit, and dishwasher-safe components address maintenance more directly than a feature set built around drink customization alone.
The compromises are physical and practical. At 17.5 inches wide and 31.3 pounds, it is the largest and heaviest choice in this group by the listed dimensions and weights; it needs a dedicated, accessible stretch of counter. Milk-based drinks also involve the milk container and pipework, so this is not a no-cleaning coffee button. Compared with the CM 6360, it has fewer listed user profiles and does not offer the same stated DoubleShot feature. I would choose it for bean choice, not because it wins every category.
Pros:- Three bean containers keep multiple whole-bean choices ready.
- A separate chute accepts ground coffee without replacing beans in the containers.
- OneTouch for Two and a coffee pot function support serving more than one cup.
- Automatic descaling and rinsing, removable brewing parts, and dishwasher-safe components support routine care.
Cons:- Its 17.5-inch width and 31.3-pound weight demand more counter space than the other listed models.
- Milk drinks require the milk container and connected pipework, adding parts to manage and clean.
- It has less profile capacity than the CM 6360’s eight programmable profiles.
Best for: Households that rotate between multiple whole-bean coffees, want a ground-coffee option for occasional drinks, and have room for a wide, heavy appliance.
Not ideal for: Buyers with limited counter space, those who only keep one kind of bean on hand, or anyone who prioritizes a larger number of saved profiles over bean flexibility.
- Type:Fully automatic coffee and espresso machine
- Coffee inputs:Whole beans and ground coffee
- Bean containers:3
- Water capacity:2.2 L
- Dimensions:12.2 × 17.5 × 15.6 in (D × W × H)
- Weight:31.3 lb
- Connectivity:WiFiConn@ct
- Included components:Glass milk container, descaling cartridge, cleaning tablets, operating instructions
Our verdict“I recommend the CM 7750 for buyers who will use its three bean containers and ground-coffee chute often enough to justify its sizable footprint.”
Miele CM 6360 MilkPerfection Fully Automatic Coffee and Espresso Machine
The CM 6360 MilkPerfection is my pick for a household where several people want their coffee made their way. Its eight programmable profiles lead this lineup: the CM 6160 stores four, while the CM 7750 and CM 5310 descriptions do not list a comparable profile count. Drink settings can be adjusted, so saved preferences are more meaningful than simply assigning names to identical presets.
It also brings together OneTouch for Two and DoubleShot, making it a strong option for households that want two drinks at once or a more concentrated preparation. Its menu includes coffee, espresso, cappuccino, milk froth, hot water, and tea, and the adjustable central spout, heated cup rest, and 0.7-liter glass milk container round out a feature set aimed at varied daily routines. The 1.8-liter water tank matches the CM 6160, and its listed 9.9-inch width is far easier to accommodate than the CM 7750’s 17.5-inch width.
Personalization does not extend to bean variety: like the CM 6160 and CM 5310, it has a single 10.6-ounce bean container. Buyers who switch frequently between regular and decaf may prefer the CM 7750’s three containers and ground-coffee chute. The CM 6360 also weighs 21.8 pounds, and its milk system still requires attention, even with automatic milk-line rinsing and removable components. I rate it above the CM 6160 for larger households; for a smaller group that will not use eight profiles, the less profile-heavy CM 6160 covers much of the same ground.
Pros:- Eight programmable profiles give more household members a saved drink setup than the CM 6160.
- OneTouch for Two and DoubleShot support paired or stronger coffee preparations.
- The 1.8-liter tank and 10.6-ounce bean container suit regular home use.
- Automatic milk-line rinsing and removable brewing and milk components help with routine cleaning.
Cons:- One bean container cannot keep multiple whole-bean varieties ready like the CM 7750.
- The milk system adds a container and components that require care.
- At 21.8 pounds, it is not a lightweight appliance to move for cleaning or counter rearrangement.
Best for: Families or shared kitchens with several coffee drinkers who want individual saved settings, two-drink preparation, and a range of milk and non-milk beverages.
Not ideal for: Buyers who regularly change bean varieties, want multiple bean containers, or would not use more than a few saved profiles.
- Type:Fully automatic bean-to-cup coffee and espresso machine
- Bean container:10.6 oz
- Water tank:1.8 L
- Milk container:0.7 L
- Programmable profiles:8
- Functions:OneTouch for Two, DoubleShot, WiFiConnect, heated cup rest
- Dimensions:16.8 × 9.9 × 14.1 in (D × W × H)
- Weight:21.8 lb
Our verdict“I would choose the CM 6360 over the CM 6160 when a household will make genuine use of its eight profiles and DoubleShot function.”
Miele CM 6160 MilkPerfection Fully Automatic Coffee and Espresso Machine
The CM 6160 MilkPerfection makes the most sense for buyers who want meaningful customization without making multi-bean storage the center of their decision. It offers adjustable grind, drink quantity, and temperature, plus four programmable profiles. That is less profile capacity than the CM 6360’s eight, but a useful step up from a machine focused mainly on core automation. Its stated 9.9-inch width is also notably narrower than the CM 7750, which is easier to fit beside other kitchen equipment.
For everyday variety, it prepares espresso, coffee, cappuccino, milk froth, hot water, and tea. OneTouch for Two serves two drinks at once, while automatic milk-line rinsing and removable parts help keep upkeep from becoming an afterthought. The 1.8-liter water tank and 10.6-ounce bean container match the CM 6360’s capacities. Compared with the CM 5310, the CM 6160 offers a larger listed water tank and four saved profiles, while the CM 5310 counters with a quiet-grinder emphasis and a slimmer stated width.
The main limitation is one bean container. If a household wants quick access to several roasts, the CM 7750 is the clear upgrade. The CM 6160 also does not list the CM 6360’s DoubleShot function, so buyers seeking that specific feature should compare the two closely. Its coffee pot is sold separately, which matters if the pot function is central to the plan. I see it as the sensible middle choice: more personalization than a basic one-touch machine, without paying for a three-bean arrangement that many households may not need.
Pros:- Four profiles preserve individual preferences without the larger CM 7750 footprint.
- Grind, drink quantity, and temperature settings give users control over daily cups.
- OneTouch for Two prepares two specialty drinks in one operation.
- Automatic milk-line rinsing and removable components support cleaning.
Cons:- The single bean container cannot match the CM 7750’s multi-bean flexibility.
- The coffee pot for the pot function is sold separately.
- It lacks the CM 6360’s stated DoubleShot feature and eight profiles.
Best for: One- to four-person households that want adjustable drinks and saved preferences, but normally use one kind of whole bean at a time.
Not ideal for: Coffee drinkers who need several bean varieties ready simultaneously, want eight profiles, or expect a coffee pot to be included.
- Type:Fully automatic bean-to-cup espresso machine
- Bean container:10.6 oz
- Water tank:1.8 L
- Beverages:Espresso, coffee, cappuccino, milk froth, hot water, tea
- Profiles:4 programmable connoisseur profiles
- Drink quantity:20–300 ml
- Dimensions:16.8 × 9.9 × 14.1 in
- Weight:21.8 lb
Our verdict“I recommend the CM 6160 as the balanced pick for buyers who want customizable daily drinks and four profiles without needing multiple bean hoppers.”
Miele CM 5310 Silence Fully Automatic Bean-to-Cup Coffee and Espresso Machine
The CM 5310 Silence has a clear place in this ranking: it is the choice for a kitchen where width and grinder noise matter more than a large water tank or a long list of saved preferences. Its stated width is 9.5 inches, slightly narrower than the 9.9-inch CM 6160 and CM 6360, and the steel conical grinder is specifically described as quiet. Those qualities make it worth a close look for a compact coffee station or a household trying to limit early-morning noise.
It still covers a broad set of common drinks, including ristretto, espresso, coffee, cappuccino, latte macchiato, hot milk, and milk froth. OneTouch for Two prepares two drinks at once, and users can adjust coffee amount, water, temperature, and milk. ComfortClean, automatic milk-line rinsing, and removable milk pipework and brew unit give it practical cleaning support. It also accepts both whole beans and ground coffee, unlike the supplied descriptions of the CM 6160 and CM 6360, though it has just one bean container.
The tradeoff is its 1.3-liter water tank, smaller than the 1.8-liter tanks in the CM 6160 and CM 6360 and the CM 7750’s 2.2-liter capacity. It is 18.1 inches deep, so its narrow width does not mean it is shallow; check the counter depth and access for cleaning. The coffee pot is sold separately. Product information also lists conflicting voltage specifications—120 V in one place and 220–240 V in technical data—so I would confirm the applicable electrical specification with the seller or manufacturer before purchase. For profile-rich customization, the CM 6360 is a better fit; for multi-bean use, the CM 7750 remains ahead.
Pros:- The 9.5-inch stated width is the narrowest among these four machines.
- The grinder is described as quiet, a useful distinction for shared living spaces.
- OneTouch for Two and adjustable drink settings support a broad daily routine.
- ComfortClean, milk-line rinsing, and removable components assist with cleaning.
Cons:- Its 1.3-liter tank is smaller than the tanks in the other three listed models.
- At 18.1 inches deep, it may project farther from a counter than its narrow width suggests.
- The supplied product information gives conflicting voltage specifications.
- The coffee pot is sold separately.
Best for: Buyers who need a narrower appliance and value a quieter grinder, while mainly preparing individual coffee and milk-based drinks.
Not ideal for: Households that want a large water reserve, multiple bean containers, a shallow appliance, or a purchase decision without resolving the conflicting voltage listing.
- Type:Fully automatic bean-to-cup coffee and espresso machine
- Bean capacity:7 oz
- Water tank:1.3 L
- Coffee input:Whole beans and ground coffee
- Grinder:Wear-resistant steel conical grinder with selectable settings
- Dimensions:9.5 × 18.1 × 14.2 in
- Weight:21 lb
- Voltage listed:Conflicting listings: 120 V and 220–240 V; verify before purchase
Our verdict“I would pick the CM 5310 for a narrow counter and quieter-grinding priority, after confirming the voltage and checking its deeper front-to-back dimensions.”
How We Picked
I compared these four Miele machines as kitchen appliances, not as a list of features. That means the ranking reflects what changes day-to-day ownership: how many bean options the machine can keep ready, how many drink preferences it can save, whether two drinks can be prepared together, what cleaning support is built in, and how much counter space the model claims. I also considered each machine’s stated tank and bean capacity, because fewer refills matter in a busy household.
The CM 7750 earns the leading position for its unusually flexible three-container bean setup and separate ground-coffee option, even though its substantial width and weight are meaningful costs. The CM 6360 follows for its eight profiles and DoubleShot function, while the CM 6160 offers a similar core experience with four profiles and a slightly narrower stated width. I place the CM 5310 in a distinct compact-width, quieter-grinder role rather than presenting it as a smaller version of the same all-rounder.
I did not treat every listed feature as equally valuable for every buyer. A second bean type matters more to someone switching between regular and decaf than to a household that buys one roast. Eight profiles help a family with different routines, but they may be unnecessary for one or two coffee drinkers. Automatic rinsing and removable components ease parts of maintenance, yet do not remove the need to clean and maintain a milk system. I also retained practical caveats from the supplied product information, including separately sold coffee pots and a conflicting voltage listing for the CM 5310. The ranking is based on stated specifications and intended use, not a claim of hands-on testing.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Best Miele Kitchen Appliances
I would choose among these Miele machines by starting with the household’s daily routine rather than the longest feature list. The biggest dividing lines are bean flexibility, saved preferences, water capacity, and the counter space the appliance needs.Decide whether you need more than one bean ready
The CM 7750 is the only model here with three bean containers, and it adds a chute for ground coffee. That combination suits a home that switches between regular, decaf, or different roasts without wanting to empty a hopper. The other three models use one bean container, so changing beans means a more deliberate swap. The CM 5310 accepts ground coffee as well, which gives it an occasional alternative, but it does not store multiple whole-bean choices. If you buy one roast and stick with it, the CM 6160 or CM 6360 may give you the functions you want without the CM 7750’s larger body.
Match profile capacity to the number of coffee routines
The CM 6360’s eight profiles make it the clearest choice for a household with several distinct drink preferences. The CM 6160 offers four profiles, a useful middle ground for a smaller group. Do not select a model only because its profile count is higher: profiles matter when different people routinely want different quantities or settings and will use saved configurations. If everyone drinks a similar coffee, the CM 5310’s adjustable settings or the CM 7750’s bean options may be more valuable than additional profiles.
Check counter width, depth, and access
Width alone can mislead. The CM 5310 is listed at 9.5 inches wide, and the CM 6160 and CM 6360 at 9.9 inches, while the CM 7750 spans 17.5 inches. But the CM 5310 is 18.1 inches deep, so measure from the wall to the counter edge and account for space needed to reach the water tank and service components. Weight also affects placement: the CM 7750 weighs 31.3 pounds, compared with roughly 21 to 21.8 pounds for the other three. Pick a permanent spot with enough room to refill, clean, and open any parts you need to access.
Treat milk drinks as a maintenance commitment
Each option can make milk-based drinks, and the CM 7750 description specifies a milk container and pipework for milk frothing and some specialty drinks. Automatic rinsing helps with milk-line care, while removable or dishwasher-safe components make some cleaning tasks easier. Those conveniences do not mean the machine is maintenance-free. If you regularly make cappuccinos or lattes, plan to follow the cleaning instructions and handle the milk components as directed. If your usual order is black coffee, the added milk system may be less relevant to your decision than bean capacity or water tank size.
Compare capacity with how often you want to refill
Water capacity ranges from 1.3 liters in the CM 5310 to 1.8 liters in the CM 6160 and CM 6360, and 2.2 liters in the CM 7750. A larger tank can reduce refill frequency, especially when several people use the machine, although the best fit still depends on your actual drink volume and counter layout. Bean capacity differs too: the CM 6160 and CM 6360 list 10.6-ounce containers, the CM 5310 lists 7 ounces, and the CM 7750 divides beans among three containers. Consider refill convenience alongside capacity rather than treating a larger tank as a quality measure on its own.
Confirm accessories and electrical details
The CM 6160 and CM 6360 list a coffee pot as a separate purchase for their coffee pot function; the CM 5310’s coffee pot is also sold separately. Do not assume that a named function means the serving vessel is included. The CM 5310 voltage information conflicts in the supplied specifications, listing both 120 V and 220–240 V. Verify the correct electrical requirements for the exact unit and your location before ordering. This simple check matters more than a small difference in drink settings if the appliance cannot be safely connected to your kitchen supply.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Miele coffee machine is the most flexible for different beans?
I would choose the CM 7750 CoffeeSelect for bean flexibility. It has three bean containers and a separate ground-coffee chute, while the CM 6160, CM 6360, and CM 5310 each list a single bean container. The CM 5310 also accepts ground coffee, but it cannot keep multiple whole-bean varieties ready at once.
Which model is best for a household with several coffee drinkers?
The CM 6360 MilkPerfection is the clearest pick when different people want their own saved settings, with eight programmable profiles. The CM 6160 is a sensible alternative for a smaller group because it offers four profiles and similar core drink customization. I would select the CM 7750 instead if separate bean choices matter more than saved preferences.
Which Miele machine takes up the least counter width?
The CM 5310 Silence is listed at 9.5 inches wide, just narrower than the 9.9-inch CM 6160 and CM 6360. It is not shallow, though: its stated depth is 18.1 inches. Measure both dimensions and leave room to reach the tank and removable parts before settling on a spot.
Do all four machines prepare two drinks at once?
Yes. Each of the four supplied product descriptions lists OneTouch for Two, which prepares two drinks in one operation. Other differences may matter more to a buying decision: the CM 6360 adds DoubleShot and eight profiles, while the CM 7750 stands apart with three bean containers and a ground-coffee chute.
What should I check before buying the CM 5310 Silence?
Check the available counter depth and confirm the appliance’s correct voltage with the seller or manufacturer. The supplied information lists both 120 V and 220–240 V, so I would not rely on the conflicting specifications without clarification. Also account for its 1.3-liter tank, which is smaller than the tanks listed for the CM 6160, CM 6360, and CM 7750.
Conclusion
For the broadest bean choice, I recommend the CM 7750 CoffeeSelect, provided you have room for its wide, heavy build. For a household that wants individual saved drinks, choose the CM 6360 MilkPerfection and its eight profiles; for a smaller group wanting adjustable drinks with four saved profiles, the CM 6160 MilkPerfection is the more balanced fit. If a narrow footprint and a grinder described as quiet matter most, the CM 5310 Silence deserves consideration, but verify its voltage and measure its depth. I would make the final choice by matching those distinctions to the way your kitchen actually makes coffee, not by assuming every Miele model serves the same buyer.
