What is the capacity of the water reservoir?

The model has a 1.8-liter water reservoir, which allows you to brew 8-10 drinks (depending on the drink) before needing a refill. We recommend this model for any size household.

Does it have a built-in grinder?

Yes. This model has a built-in grinder with 5 adjustable settings, ensuring your coffee is made from freshly ground beans every time.

Can I use non-dairy milk alternatives with the milk frother?

Yes. Although Miele's milk frothing system works best with 2-3% dairy milk, the "Barista" version of various non-dairy milk alternatives like almond, soy, and oat milk work as well, allowing you to enjoy your favorite drinks with the milk of your choice.

Is it user-friendly?

Absolutely. It is a super-automatic machine, so you can choose and make amazing, café-quality drinks with just a touch of a button. No learning curves required.

Is it easy to clean and maintain?

Yes, Miele machines are easy to maintain. This machine rinses itself every time you turn it on or off and cleans the milk pipework automatically. You do need to descale the unit every 2-3 months (depending on usage and water hardness) and clean the machine using cleaning tablets every 2-3 months. The machine notifies you when it's time to descale or clean and guides you through the process with instructions on the screen. It is super easy and anyone can do it.

Can it make two cups at once?

Yes. This model allows for two cups of any drink to be made at the same time. It also has a Double Shot function that makes a second shot of espresso for the same drink, just for an extra kick.

What are the dimensions and weight?

This is a medium-sized model with dimensions (W × H × D) of 10 in × 14 in × 16 in. It weighs 19 pounds.

Is this machine suitable for beginners?

Yes, if you can turn on a TV or operate a microwave, you can use this machine. Even beginners will find Miele machines easy to use with their intuitive interfaces, step-by-step guides, and automatic maintenance prompts.

Is it compatible with coffee beans, coffee pods, or ground coffee?

This machine works with coffee beans in the main hopper and has a ground coffee chute, giving you flexibility. It does not use coffee pods. One of the key features of this machine is that it grinds coffee beans and brews fresh coffee for every cup, unlike coffee pod machines.

Does it have programmable settings?

Absolutely. With programmable settings, you can adjust water quantity, water temperature, amount of milk, amount of milk froth, and pre-brewing. Choose from 7 intensity levels (6-14 grams dose) for coffee strength. Adjust milk amount (4-60 seconds) and foam (4-60 seconds) to achieve the perfect creamy balance. Opt for High, Medium, or Maximum, depending on your preference, or select from 3 levels: off, short, or long, for the precise taste profile.

How does it handle milk frothing?

Miele's advanced milk frothing system creates barista-quality, finely textured foam, perfect for lattes and cappuccinos.

What size cups can the Miele machine accommodate?

The adjustable spout height can accommodate cup sizes up to 5 3/8 inches.

Does this machine come in different colors?

No, not at this time.

What kind of user support and resources are available?

Does it have a warranty?

Yes, it comes with a comprehensive 2-year warranty (parts and labor included) for your peace of mind.

Anything else I should consider before buying this model?

The CM6160 sits in the middle of the lineup in terms of features. However, Miele has packed so many features and so much value into this model that it almost doesn’t make sense to consider the next model up (Miele CM6360) unless it’s on sale. So before you jump on this model, take a look here just to make sure the CM6360s are not discounted.
