Overview
The Miele CM6160 MilkPerfection earns its name through a sophisticated milk handling system that consistently produces café-quality frothed milk across a range of textures. The machine features Miele AutoDescale technology — a fully automatic descaling process that eliminates the guesswork and mess of manual descaling procedures. WiFi connectivity integrates the CM6160 with the Miele@home ecosystem, enabling remote start, status monitoring, and maintenance notifications through the Miele app. The machine offers multiple user profiles, each storing individual preferences for coffee strength, temperature, milk foam amount, and cup size. The conical burr grinder provides a wide adjustment range, and the AromaticSystem ensures even water distribution through the grounds for balanced extraction. A distinctive Miele feature is the CupSensor — the machine automatically adjusts the dispensing spout height based on the cup placed underneath, preventing splash while optimizing crema preservation. The generous 1.8-liter water tank and larger bean hopper reduce refill frequency for active households. Automatic cleaning of the milk system runs after every milk-based drink, and the machine tracks usage to prompt for maintenance at optimal intervals. Premium Miele construction quality means this machine is built to last for years of daily use, and the brand service infrastructure provides peace of mind that few super-automatic manufacturers can match.
The Miele CM6160 MilkPerfection comes equipped with PID temperature control for precise brewing, pre-infusion for even extraction. It features a thermoblock boiler system made of stainless steel. The vibratory pump delivers 15.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.
Priced at $1,700, the Miele CM6160 MilkPerfection is designed for dedicated prosumers who demand professional-grade equipment. As a super-automatic machine, it handles everything from grinding to extraction at the touch of a button — perfect for convenience without sacrificing quality.
In terms of build quality, the Miele CM6160 MilkPerfection is a substantial machine, weighing in at 10.0 kg, manufactured in Germany, drawing 1500W of power. With dimensions of 248 x 460 x 360 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 1800 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
