For shoppers seeking the best Miele kitchen appliances in this group, the choice comes down to four fully automatic coffee machines with different strengths. I rank the CM 6360 MilkPerfection first for its eight saved profiles and broad drink options, while the CM 7750 CoffeeSelect is the specialist pick for households that rotate among three bean types. The CM 5310 Silence makes more sense when a quieter grinder and a smaller bean-and-water setup suit your routine; the CM 6160 MilkPerfection gives couples and smaller households a strong feature set without the CM 6360’s expanded profile storage.

These are not four unrelated appliance categories: they are all countertop bean-to-cup machines. The real differences are how many people’s preferences they can store, how much coffee they hold, and how much flexibility they provide for different beans and grounds. I also weigh cleaning routines, because automatic milk rinsing and removable parts can make a real difference when milk drinks are part of the daily routine. All four have tradeoffs: they occupy meaningful counter space, require regular care, and the coffee-pot function mentioned for some models needs a separate accessory.

Key Takeaways
- I rank the CM 6360 first for households that want up to eight saved drink profiles, OneTouch for Two, and a removable milk system.
- The CM 7750 is the only model here with three bean containers, making it the clearest choice for switching among bean varieties without emptying one hopper.
- The CM 5310 has the smallest listed water tank and bean container, but its quiet grinder and ability to use either beans or ground coffee suit flexible, smaller-volume routines.
- The CM 6160 stores four profiles and offers OneTouch for Two, so it can cover many shared-household needs without the CM 6360’s larger profile capacity.
- All four machines need counter space and ongoing cleaning; check the CM 6360 product’s voltage details carefully because the supplied specifications list conflicting voltage ranges.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Miele CM 6360 MilkPerfection Fully Automatic Coffee and Espresso Machine
I give the CM 6360 MilkPerfection the top spot because it suits the widest range of shared household routines among these four. Its eight programmable profiles provide more room for saved preferences than the CM 6160’s four, which matters when several people want different drink sizes or settings without resetting the machine each time. OneTouch for Two also makes paired drinks more convenient, while the listed beverage range covers espresso, coffee, cappuccino, milk froth, tea, and hot water.
Its strongest advantage is the combination of personalization and serviceability. The removable brew unit and milk pipework, cleaning programs, and automatic milk-line rinsing give owners several ways to keep the parts that handle coffee and milk accessible for care. The CM 5310 also supports automatic milk-line rinsing and removable parts, but the CM 6360 has a larger 1.8 L water tank than the CM 5310’s 1.3 L tank, which can mean fewer refills for a busy household. A heated cup rest and eco mode add useful convenience, though they do not change the fact that regular cleaning remains part of ownership.
The CM 6360 is not the right answer for every buyer. Its single 10.6 oz bean container cannot keep several bean varieties ready at once, unlike the CM 7750’s three hoppers. It is also a sizable countertop appliance at 16.8 inches deep, and the supplied product details list both 120 V and 220–240 V. I would verify the exact machine’s electrical requirements before ordering. The coffee-pot accessory is sold separately, so buyers wanting a pot-style batch should account for that extra purchase.
Compared with the CM 6160, the CM 6360 is the more flexible shared-household choice because it doubles the listed profile capacity and adds a 0.7 L milk container. Compared with the CM 7750, it is less suited to people who regularly alternate among beans, but its lighter listed weight and simpler single-hopper arrangement may be easier to fit into a normal routine. That balance earns it my overall recommendation.
Pros:- Stores up to eight personalized drink profiles.
- OneTouch for Two prepares two specialty drinks in one operation.
- Removable brew unit and milk pipework complement automatic milk-line rinsing.
- 1.8 L water tank and broad coffee, milk, tea, and hot-water options support varied routines.
Cons:- Only one bean type fits in the 10.6 oz container at a time.
- Coffee pot for the pot function is sold separately.
- Supplied voltage details conflict, listing both 120 V and 220–240 V.
Best for: Households with several regular coffee drinkers who want saved personal settings, milk drinks, and paired drink preparation.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need multiple bean varieties ready at once, want a compact machine, or cannot confirm the voltage of their regional model.
- Machine type:Fully automatic bean-to-cup espresso machine
- Bean container:10.6 oz
- Water tank:1.8 L
- Milk container:0.7 L
- Programmable profiles:Up to 8
- Dimensions:16.8 × 9.9 × 14.1 in (D × W × H)
- Weight:21.8 lb
- Cleaning:Automatic milk-line rinsing; removable brew unit and milk pipework
Our verdict“I recommend the CM 6360 as the most adaptable shared-household choice, provided its regional voltage is verified and one bean hopper is enough.”
Miele CM 7750 CoffeeSelect Fully Automatic Coffee and Espresso Machine
The CM 7750 CoffeeSelect is the clear choice for people who want different beans available without repeatedly emptying a hopper. Its three bean containers set it apart from the CM 6160, CM 6360, and CM 5310, each of which is described with a single bean container. The additional chute for ground coffee adds another way to make a drink, which can help when someone wants a different coffee input without changing the beans already loaded.
This is the most flexible machine in the lineup for bean choice, not necessarily the most convenient choice for every kitchen. It supports OneTouch for Two, customizable user profiles, Wi-Fi connectivity, automatic milk-pipework rinsing, and automatic descaling. Those functions address different jobs: paired preparation reduces repeated steps, profiles preserve individual settings, and automatic cleaning programs can reduce some manual maintenance. The included glass milk container and cleaning supplies also give the machine a more complete setup than a model whose coffee-pot accessory is sold separately.
The tradeoff is size and weight. At 31.3 pounds, the CM 7750 is substantially heavier than the CM 6360 and CM 6160, both listed at 21.8 pounds, and it measures 12.2 × 17.5 × 15.6 inches. I would plan its countertop position before delivery rather than treating it as an appliance to move often. Its listed 120 V requirement also calls for a compatible outlet. If your household sticks with one bean and rarely uses ground coffee, the CM 6360 offers more saved profiles while avoiding the CM 7750’s three-container setup.
For the right buyer, though, the extra capacity is the point. I would choose the CM 7750 for a household that rotates between regular and decaf beans, keeps distinct varieties on hand, or wants the option to prepare a drink from ground coffee. I would skip it if the second and third hoppers would sit unused: the added weight and countertop presence make sense only when the bean flexibility will be used.
Pros:- Three bean containers allow several varieties to stay loaded.
- Accepts ground coffee as well as whole beans.
- OneTouch for Two and customizable profiles support shared use.
- Automatic descaling, milk-line rinsing, and removable brew components support routine care.
Cons:- At 31.3 lb, it is the heaviest model in this group.
- Its listed dimensions need a deliberate countertop space plan.
- Requires a 120 V power supply.
Best for: Coffee drinkers who regularly switch among several bean varieties or want a machine that also accepts ground coffee.
Not ideal for: Buyers with limited counter space, anyone who needs to move the appliance frequently, or households that use one bean variety consistently.
- Model:CM 7750 CoffeeSelect
- Coffee input:Whole beans and ground coffee
- Bean containers:3
- Capacity:2.2 L
- Dimensions:12.2 × 17.5 × 15.6 in (D × W × H)
- Weight:31.3 lb
- Power:1.45 kW
- Voltage:120 V
- Care features:Automatic descaling and milk-pipework rinsing; removable brew unit
Our verdict“I would choose the CM 7750 when three bean varieties and ground-coffee access solve a real daily need, rather than paying the footprint and weight penalty for unused flexibility.”
Miele CM 5310 Silence Fully Automatic Bean-to-Cup Coffee and Espresso Machine
The CM 5310 Silence earns its place for buyers who want a quieter-grinder feature set and a flexible coffee input, without choosing the largest machine here. It can use whole beans or ground coffee, and its drink list covers espresso, coffee, cappuccino, latte macchiato, milk froth, and other options. That input flexibility distinguishes it from the CM 6160 and CM 6360 descriptions, which focus on their single bean container.
It also handles paired drinks through OneTouch for Two, and its wear-resistant steel grinder has selectable settings. Automatic milk-line rinsing, ComfortClean, a removable brew unit, and removable milk pipework support upkeep. These features put it closer to the CM 6360 than a basic single-serve brewer, but its 1.3 L water tank and 7 oz bean container are smaller than the 1.8 L tank and 10.6 oz container listed for the CM 6160 and CM 6360. That difference favors smaller households or moderate daily use; people making drinks for many family members may refill more often.
The name highlights silence, but the information provided does not give a decibel figure, so I would not use it to promise a particular noise level. Instead, the meaningful distinction is that Miele specifies a quiet, wear-resistant grinder. The machine is listed at 9.5 × 18.1 × 14.2 inches and 21 pounds, which is lighter than the CM 7750, although its 18.1-inch listed dimension still calls for a counter-depth check. It is not a tiny appliance simply because it has the smallest water tank in this lineup.
Compared with the CM 6160, the CM 5310 trades a larger bean and water capacity for ground-coffee compatibility and a lighter listed weight. Compared with the CM 6360, it does not offer eight saved profiles or the listed 0.7 L milk container, so larger households with varied preferences may be better served by the CM 6360. I see the CM 5310 as the sensible fit for a smaller household that values input flexibility and grinder noise considerations more than maximum profile capacity.
Pros:- Accepts whole beans and ground coffee.
- Quiet, wear-resistant steel grinder with selectable settings.
- OneTouch for Two supports two servings of a specialty drink.
- Automatic milk-line rinsing and removable components support cleaning.
Cons:- The 1.3 L water tank is smaller than those listed for the CM 6160 and CM 6360.
- The 7 oz bean container is smaller than the 10.6 oz containers on the MilkPerfection models.
- Coffee pot for the pot function is sold separately.
Best for: Smaller households or shared workspaces that want whole-bean and ground-coffee options, paired drinks, and a machine described as having a quiet grinder.
Not ideal for: High-volume households that want fewer water refills, or buyers who need extensive saved profiles and a larger milk container.
- Coffee input:Whole beans and ground coffee
- Bean container:7 oz
- Water tank:1.3 L
- Drip tray:0.8 L
- Beverage portion:20–300 ml
- Dimensions:9.5 × 18.1 × 14.2 in
- Weight:21 lb
- Voltage:120 V
- Cleaning:Automatic milk-line rinsing; removable brew unit and milk pipework
Our verdict“I recommend the CM 5310 for modest-volume routines where a quiet grinder and ground-coffee option matter more than larger capacities or extensive profile storage.”
Miele CM 6160 MilkPerfection Fully Automatic Coffee and Espresso Machine
The CM 6160 MilkPerfection is a capable choice for buyers who want automatic milk drinks and paired preparation but do not need the CM 6360’s eight-profile capacity. It stores four programmable profiles, which can cover a couple or a small household with a few regular drink preferences. The CM 6360 remains the better match for more users or more saved recipes, but the CM 6160 still includes OneTouch for Two, DoubleShot, Wi-Fi connectivity, and an adjustable drink range of 20–300 ml.
Its everyday features are well rounded: a 1.8 L water tank, 10.6 oz bean container, adjustable central spout, and heated cup rest give it more capacity than the CM 5310 on paper. The conical steel grinder has selectable settings, and automatic milk-line rinsing helps with the milk system’s daily care. The removable brew unit is another practical advantage over a machine that would require owners to rely only on automatic programs for internal cleaning.
The CM 6160 is less flexible than the CM 7750 for bean choice. Its one container holds a single bean variety, and the coffee-pot function requires a separately sold pot. The supplied details also list both 120 V and 220–240 V, creating a specification conflict that buyers should resolve with the exact regional listing or seller before purchase. I would not assume compatibility from the model name alone.
Against the CM 5310, the CM 6160 makes more sense when a larger water tank and bean container are priorities, but it gives up the CM 5310’s stated ground-coffee option. Against the CM 6360, it keeps much of the shared-drink convenience while offering fewer profiles and no listed milk-container capacity. I place it fourth not because it lacks useful features, but because the CM 6360 offers a clearer step up for multi-person personalization, while the CM 5310 and CM 7750 provide more distinctive reasons to choose them.
Pros:- Four programmable profiles provide saved settings for a small household.
- OneTouch for Two and DoubleShot add useful preparation options.
- 1.8 L water tank and 10.6 oz bean container exceed the listed CM 5310 capacities.
- Automatic milk-line rinsing and a removable brew unit support cleaning.
Cons:- Stores only one bean type at a time.
- Coffee pot for the pot function is sold separately.
- Supplied voltage specifications conflict.
Best for: Couples or smaller households that want OneTouch for Two, four saved profiles, and a larger water tank than the CM 5310 offers.
Not ideal for: Households needing more than four saved profiles, multiple bean varieties ready at once, or buyers who cannot verify voltage and accessory requirements.
- Machine type:Fully automatic bean-to-cup espresso machine
- Bean container:10.6 oz
- Water tank:1.8 L
- Drink quantity:20–300 ml
- Programmable profiles:4
- Grinder:Wear-resistant conical steel grinder
- Dimensions:16.8 × 9.9 × 14.1 in (D × W × H)
- Weight:21.8 lb
- Voltage:Conflicting details list 120 V and 220–240 V
Our verdict“I would pick the CM 6160 for a small household that wants paired milk drinks and useful capacity, but not the CM 6360’s larger profile library.”
How We Picked
I compared these four Miele machines as appliances for everyday home coffee, not as a generic list of espresso features. Since each model grinds beans and automates coffee and milk drinks, I focused on the distinctions that change who will find a machine useful: profile capacity, bean flexibility, water and bean storage, drink-for-two convenience, and cleaning support.
The ranking favors practical range across household routines. I put the CM 6360 first because its eight profiles and removable milk-system parts give it an especially useful mix of personalization and maintenance access. The CM 7750 comes next for its unusual three-container bean arrangement and ground-coffee option, though its extra flexibility brings greater weight and a more substantial footprint. The CM 5310 ranks third as a simpler, quieter option for buyers who value input flexibility and do not need a large water reservoir. The CM 6160 remains a capable everyday machine, but its four profiles offer less room for distinct preferences than the CM 6360.
I also treated the supplied specifications cautiously where details conflict. The CM 6360 listing names both 120 V and 220–240 V, so I flag that instead of treating either figure as settled. I did not infer performance results, durability, or taste beyond the listed features. My recommendations are based on the stated capacities, functions, dimensions, and maintenance details; buyers should confirm electrical compatibility and included accessories for the exact regional model before purchase.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Best Miele Kitchen Appliances
I would start by deciding whether your priority is shared personalization, bean variety, or a simpler daily routine. These four machines overlap in automatic coffee preparation, but their storage and workflow differences matter more than a long list of similar drink names.Match profile capacity to the number of regular drinkers
If several people want their own saved drink settings, the CM 6360’s eight profiles offer the most room in this group. The CM 6160’s four profiles can be enough for a couple or a small household, while the CM 7750 is described as supporting customizable profiles without a profile count in the supplied details. I would not assume its profile storage exceeds the CM 6360’s without checking the regional product documentation. For a solo drinker or a household that adjusts settings manually, profile count may matter less than bean flexibility or capacity.
Choose bean storage around how you actually buy coffee
The CM 7750 is the only model with three bean containers, making it the standout for people who rotate among regular, decaf, or different roast styles. It also accepts ground coffee. The CM 5310 accepts ground coffee too, but its single 7 oz bean container means it does not keep several varieties loaded. The CM 6160 and CM 6360 each list a 10.6 oz container, a better fit if one favorite bean is the norm. Multiple hoppers are useful only if you will switch varieties often enough to justify the heavier machine and extra counter space.
Estimate refill frequency from tank and hopper capacity
The CM 6160 and CM 6360 each list a 1.8 L water tank and 10.6 oz bean container, while the CM 5310 has a 1.3 L tank and 7 oz bean container. If several people make drinks throughout the day, those larger listed capacities may reduce refill interruptions. The CM 7750 lists a 2.2 L capacity in the supplied information, but the description does not specify which component that figure refers to, so I would confirm its meaning rather than compare it directly with water-tank figures. Capacity does not remove routine cleaning or refilling; it only changes how frequently those tasks arise.
Think through milk-system cleaning before choosing
All four descriptions include automatic milk-line rinsing, and the CM 6360, CM 7750, and CM 5310 also list removable milk-system parts or pipework. Those features help make milk drinks more manageable, but they do not mean the machine needs no care. Buyers who make cappuccinos or latte macchiatos frequently should check the cleaning instructions and plan to wash removable pieces as directed. The CM 6360’s stated removable milk pipework and cleaning programs make it especially suitable for a household that wants both automated rinsing and parts access.
Measure the counter and check electrical details
These are substantial countertop appliances, not compact capsule brewers. Compare the listed dimensions with your available depth, height, and clearance for filling the water tank or opening service areas. The CM 7750 weighs 31.3 pounds, considerably more than the other listed models, so it is a poor match for a setup where the machine must be moved often. Check the exact regional voltage before purchase as well: the CM 6160 and CM 6360 specifications provided here conflict, while the CM 7750 and CM 5310 list 120 V.
Account for accessories and the drinks you will make
OneTouch for Two appears on all four models, so preparing a pair of specialty drinks is not exclusive to the higher-ranked machines. The differences are the surrounding features: the CM 6360 stores more profiles, the CM 7750 offers multiple bean containers, and the CM 5310 adds ground-coffee compatibility alongside whole beans. The CM 6160 and CM 5310 descriptions note that a coffee pot for the pot function is sold separately. If you expect to serve batch-style coffee, verify the required accessory and whether it is included with the exact package.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Miele coffee machine in this comparison is best for most households?
I rank the CM 6360 MilkPerfection first for most shared households because it combines up to eight saved profiles, OneTouch for Two, a 1.8 L water tank, and removable milk-system components. The CM 6160 has similar core drink-making features but only four profiles. If you value several bean varieties more than saved preferences, the CM 7750 is a better match; if you want ground-coffee flexibility and a quieter-grinder feature, consider the CM 5310.
Which model can hold more than one type of whole bean?
The CM 7750 CoffeeSelect has three bean containers, the only multi-container arrangement among these four. It can also use ground coffee. The CM 5310 accepts ground coffee as well, but its listed bean container holds one variety. The CM 6160 and CM 6360 each list one bean container, so changing varieties means replacing what is loaded rather than selecting another hopper.
Are these machines suitable for making drinks for two people?
All four product descriptions include OneTouch for Two, which supports preparing two specialty drinks in one operation. That feature makes each model workable for couples and shared kitchens. The better choice depends on what else the household needs: the CM 6360 provides the most listed profile capacity, the CM 7750 handles multiple bean varieties, and the CM 6160 and CM 5310 offer different capacity and input tradeoffs.
Which Miele model is easiest to fit in a smaller kitchen?
The CM 5310 is lighter than the CM 7750 and has smaller listed capacities, but its listed dimensions still need to be checked against your counter. The CM 6160 and CM 6360 share dimensions of 16.8 × 9.9 × 14.1 inches, while the CM 7750 is the heaviest at 31.3 pounds. I would measure the full available area, including clearance for water-tank access, rather than choosing only by weight or the smallest capacity.
Do any of these models need extra accessories or voltage checks?
The supplied details say the coffee pot for the pot function is sold separately for the CM 6160 and CM 5310. Buyers interested in that function should verify what the regional package includes. The CM 6160 and CM 6360 listings also contain conflicting voltage information, naming both 120 V and 220–240 V. Confirm the exact model’s electrical requirements with the seller or regional documentation before purchase, especially if you are ordering across markets.
Conclusion
My overall recommendation is the CM 6360 MilkPerfection for households that want the broadest saved-profile capacity and convenient milk-drink preparation. Choose the CM 7750 CoffeeSelect if keeping multiple bean varieties ready is the reason you are upgrading, and accept that it is the heaviest option here. The CM 5310 Silence is the better fit for smaller-volume routines that benefit from ground-coffee compatibility and a quiet-grinder feature. I would point couples or smaller households seeking a larger tank and four saved profiles toward the CM 6160. Before ordering any of them, I would confirm counter clearance, regional voltage, and whether the accessories needed for your preferred coffee routine are included.
