- Model: CM 6160 MilkPerfection

Product Overview
The Miele CM 6160 MilkPerfection brings automated bean-to-cup preparation to a countertop format. Its conical grinder, programmable brewing settings, and broad beverage menu let you prepare everyday coffee as well as milk-based specialties without manually operating a separate grinder and espresso machine.
The machine offers ristretto, espresso, coffee, long coffee, cappuccino, latte macchiato, flat white, café latte, espresso macchiato, milk froth, and hot milk. It also prepares hot water and has dedicated selections for several types of tea, making it useful beyond coffee service.
For households with different preferences, the CM 6160 includes four user profiles and adjustable beverage portions from 20 to 300 ml. OneTouch and OneTouch for Two programs simplify preparation, while the infinitely adjustable central spout accommodates cups from 3 1/4 to 5 5/8 inches high.
Daily care is supported by automatic milk-pipe rinsing, automatic rinsing functions, cleaning programs, ComfortClean, a removable brew unit, and removable milk pipework. The machine also includes descaling and cleaning tablets, although regular maintenance remains part of owning a fully automatic coffee system.
Expert Recommendation
We recommend the CM 6160 for coffee drinkers who want a wide range of drinks with less hands-on preparation. It is particularly well suited to households that regularly make cappuccinos, latte macchiatos, flat whites, or other milk beverages and want the convenience of OneTouch for Two.
Its four user profiles and programmable quantities make it a practical choice when multiple people want different coffee settings. Buyers who prefer a fully manual espresso workflow, a machine with multiple bean containers, or a simpler coffee-only appliance may be better served by a different type of coffee machine; the available source does not identify a specific sibling model.
The connected features may appeal to owners who want app-based monitoring or remote functions, but Miele notes that digital features vary by model and country. Confirm the available Miele@home functions in your location before making connectivity a deciding factor.
Best For
Milk-Based Coffee Drinks
MilkPerfection supports cappuccinos, latte macchiatos, flat whites, café lattes, hot milk, and milk froth. Automatic rinsing of the milk pipework adds convenience after preparing these drinks.
Two-Drink Preparation
OneTouch for Two provides dedicated programs for preparing two selected coffee specialties. This is useful when two people want drinks at the same time.
Households With Different Preferences
Four user profiles and programmable coffee, water, milk, and froth quantities make it easier to save individualized beverage settings.
Coffee and Tea Service
The machine prepares a broad range of coffee drinks as well as hot water for black, herbal, fruit, green, white, and Japanese tea.
Freshly Ground Coffee
The integrated conical grinder uses whole beans and offers selectable grinding grade. Ground coffee can also be used for additional coffee types.
Connected Kitchen Routines
WiFiConn@ct and Miele@home provide listed networking features such as monitoring, notifications, MobileStart, and selected smart functions, subject to country and model availability.
Not Ideal For
- It may not be the right choice for someone who wants a basic coffee-only machine, since its specialty beverage and cleaning systems add controls and maintenance.
- The single 300-gram bean container is designed for one bean type at a time, so it is less convenient for switching frequently between different beans.
- Owners still need to refill the water and bean containers and follow the machine's cleaning and descaling instructions.
- Buyers should not assume every connected feature is available in every location; Miele states that the digital offer can vary by model and country.
Key Features
- MilkPerfection System: The milk system creates milk froth for beverages such as cappuccino, latte macchiato, flat white, and café latte.
- OneTouch for Two: Prepare one or two selected milk-based coffee beverages with dedicated OneTouch programs.
- Fresh Bean Grinding: A conical grinder processes whole beans immediately before brewing, with selectable grinding grade.
- Programmable Drinks: Coffee quantity, water quantity, water temperature, milk amount, and milk-froth amount can be programmed.
- Automatic Milk Rinsing: The machine automatically rinses the milk pipework after preparing milk-based coffee specialties.
- WiFiConn@ct: Networking features can support remote operation, monitoring, notifications, and selected smart functions through Miele digital services.
- User Profiles: Up to four user profiles can store individual beverage preferences.
- Hot Water Selection: Hot water and several tea selections are available at the touch of a button.
What Makes This Model Stand Out
The CM 6160 stands out through the combination of automated milk preparation, OneTouch for Two, and programmable beverage settings. It is not limited to espresso and coffee: its menu also includes multiple milk specialties, hot milk, milk froth, hot water, and several tea selections.
Maintenance is integrated into the operating experience rather than left entirely to the owner. Automatic milk-pipe rinsing, convenient cleaning programs, ComfortClean, a removable brew unit, and removable milk pipework help make routine care more manageable, while the included cleaning and descaling tablets provide a starting point for the listed maintenance tasks.
Product Comparisons
Automatic Bean-to-Cup vs Manual Espresso Machine
The CM 6160 grinds beans, prepares drinks, froths milk, and runs rinsing and cleaning programs through an integrated system. A manual espresso machine generally requires more hands-on control of grinding, dosing, tamping, and milk preparation, while offering a more traditional preparation process.
Automatic Coffee Machine vs Pod Machine
This model uses a 300-gram bean container and can also accept ground coffee for additional coffee types. A pod machine uses pre-portioned pods instead, so the preparation process and consumables are different.
One Bean Container vs Multiple Bean Containers
The CM 6160 has one bean container for one bean type at a time. A machine with multiple bean containers would be more convenient for households that want to switch between beans without emptying the container, but no specific alternative model is identified here.
Connected vs Non-Connected Coffee Machine
This model lists WiFiConn@ct, Miele@home, MobileStart, notifications, and other digital functions. A non-connected coffee machine would rely on its local controls and would not provide the same listed networking features.
Questions Buyers Commonly Ask
Is the CM 6160 a good choice for cappuccino and latte drinkers?
Yes. MilkPerfection is designed for milk froth, and the listed beverage menu includes cappuccino, latte macchiato, flat white, café latte, hot milk, and milk froth. OneTouch programs simplify preparation.
Is it suitable for a household with multiple coffee drinkers?
It can be. Four user profiles allow individual settings, and OneTouch for Two can prepare two selected beverages through dedicated programs.
Does it require a separate grinder?
No. The machine includes a conical grinder with selectable grinding grade. It can also prepare additional coffee types from ground coffee.
Is cleaning complicated?
The machine includes automatic rinsing of the milk pipework, convenient cleaning programs, ComfortClean, a removable brew unit, and removable milk pipework. It still requires the owner to follow the cleaning and descaling instructions.
Can it replace a tea kettle for some uses?
It provides hot water at the touch of a button and lists several tea selections. The source does not state that it replaces every function of a separate kettle.

For an approved change-of-mind return, a 15% restocking fee applies to the returned merchandise price. Original shipping charges are not refundable and the customer pays return shipping. These charges do not apply to an approved return caused by our shipping error or a damaged/defective item claim. Contact us first so we can arrange the appropriate remedy and shipping instructions. Do not assume a prepaid label is included.
Final-sale and excluded items
Air purifiers; discounted, clearance, trade-in, holiday-sale and price-matched purchases; gift cards; custom or special-order products; electrical parts; used or installed items; opened cleaning solutions; and used bags, filters, belts or other consumables are not eligible for change-of-mind returns. Other items clearly marked final sale at purchase are also excluded. An opened box alone does not disqualify an otherwise eligible unused, complete item, but consumables and cleaning solutions must remain unopened.
Damaged, defective, incorrect or missing items; recalls
Inspect your order promptly and contact us as soon as you discover a problem, with your order number and photos where helpful. Keep the packaging. Change-of-mind exclusions and deadlines do not remove applicable defect, warranty, recall or statutory rights. Warranty coverage requires evaluation under the manufacturer's terms; dealer status does not guarantee free repair. Recalled products must follow the manufacturer's recall process.
Refund timing and exchanges
After we receive and inspect the return, we will notify you of approval or the reason it cannot be accepted. Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method within 10 business days of approval; your bank may take additional time to post them. Contact us if more than 15 business days have passed since approval. Exchanges require authorization and replacement availability; any price difference and applicable charges will be explained before processing.
Applicable rights and earlier purchases
This policy applies to online and in-store purchases. We will honor more favorable written return terms provided with an earlier purchase. Applicable consumer rights remain unaffected. Where the European Union 14-day cancellation right applies, customers may cancel or return eligible orders within 14 days of receipt, subject to applicable legal exceptions, without giving a reason.
