Miele Cm6350 Countertop Coffee Machine Obsidian Black

I love my Miele. It's a very high maintenance machine. You have to empty the drip tray often, descale the machine, empty the bean remnants.. but it's worth it because the coffee is so dang good. It tells you when you need to clean it, etc., which is nice, but it feels very often. One downside is that it's hard to get it fixed when something breaks.

6350

Stellar. Love this machine. Have yet to fully explore the capabilities. It makes great coffee with the simple settings. The select buttons can be a bit tricky. Sometimes they don’t respond. Feel very good about our purchase. Thank you.

Absolutely an amazing machine!

I must admit; I am a coffee-aholic and this is the best coffee machine I’ve ever purchased! I always have sugar in my coffee; but need none with coffee that machine produces. I can’t say more about it! 100% satisfied plus more with this purchase

Excellent Coffee Machine

Had a built-in Miele for over ten years with over 12,000 cups made. Never had an issue,but moving now, so decided to try the countertop version. No regrets, as its got the same mechanism and actually cleans the milk tubes better than the built-in version, I make mostly cappuccinos! Would highly recommend this model!

Excellent machine

Im impressed with this machine. Its the Rolls Royce of super automatic machines. Quiet, efficient, precise and quick. It makes an espresso that is creamy and light. Foams a cappuccino perfectly even with almond milk. I love it.

GREAT Machine, Worth the Research and Wait++++

I did not just do a review of the Miele CM6350, I did a 15 page review. I obviously can not post it here. We get so caught up with a product that we forget the due diligence we did before we bought it. I had no intention of buying this Super Automatic Espresso Coffee Machine. I was going to buy a DeLonghi. I had owned 4 DeLonghi's in the past. Then a good friend out of the blue told me he just bought the CM6350. I started by research. I down loaded the owners manual and read it cover to cover. I read every review I could find. I watched ever YouTube Video especially the ones that are hard to find. This model has been around for a few years. Other brands had new released machines. So I did an excel worksheet lining up the specifications. All the machines were about ... MoreI did not just do a review of the Miele CM6350, I did a 15 page review. I obviously can not post it here.

This model has been around for a few years. Other brands had new released machines. So I did an excel worksheet lining up the specifications. All the machines were about the same with very subtle differences. One would have a built-in water filter, another would not. One would have a bigger water tank then another. It all came down to the reviews I read like this one. It also focused on my last DeLonghi broke twice in three years. Finally it was that I owned a Miele Vacuum for decades. I bought it. My study of the manual made all the difference in the world. Easy set up, easy ability to adjust every aspect of any of the coffee's the machine makes. Easy clean up and maintenance was a snap. The coffee is fantastic however please remember it has to do with the beans you use. You can't use oily beans so Starbucks and Illy brands were out. What impresses me the most is the machine won't let me mess up. When you make a milk drink, you need to clean the milk tube if the machine goes off, it self cleans itself. It beeps to remind you to take the milk tube out of the milk container. If you don't it will skip cleaning the milk tube. When you turn it on again, you can't make coffee until you clean the tube. That is one smart machine. A hint for everyone, my wife likes her coffee a certain way. I was smart to know to set the default setting to her liking. I then created a profile for me. You see, my wife is not a technical person and I am. If she thinks the machine makes great coffee, she is happy. If she is happy, I am happen. I love this machine. Hope that helps everyone.

Great All Around Machine

I purchased this machine after extensive research. This machine replaced a 9 year old Saeco Taleo that began to malfunction. Very easy to use and configure. The selling point for me is the milk system cleansing and the easy and customizable menu. I really cant tell the difference between the basic brews from my old Saeco but the milk drinks and ristrettos are excellent. As with any new device, it requires getting used to. It seems like there is a lot of self cleaning cycles going on which requires more emptying and filling of water. Im confident that it will become easier with routine. Bought refurbished from Seattle Coffee Gear at a steeply discounted price. The machine was like new with only 45 cycles on it.

Great machine, highly recommended.

I compared all the major brands and spoke with the sales person at Williams Sonoma. Miele is easily on top for the super automatic coffee makers. Espresso, capuccino, latte, coffee, all at a touch. Go further into the menu for a ton more options, from hot water, hot milk, froth, and more coffee concoctions. The cleaning cycles are all automatic, it rinses on startup and shut down and prompts you on all other maintenance requirements keeping your coffee tasting clean and preventing damage to your machine. My only con is that I'd like to see more 1 touch options. I use serval that are burried in the menu, but it's only a small inconvenience. Great machine, highly recommended.

Hot Drinks. Great Price. A little more work than anticipated.

I did a lot of research before buying this unit. I settled on the Miele brand because every other Superautomatic Coffee machine made by other manufacturers had complaints about drinks being too cold. Having used the 6350, I can attest that "hot" is NOT and issue with Miele. The medium setting is plenty hot, hot is probably a little too hot, and I havent tried maximum hot for fear of scalding myself. I chose the 6350 over the 6150 because it had a few more features including a milk container, an active cup heater, LED lighting , and a hot water spout. My recommendation is to buy the 6150 unless you need the hot water spout because the other features are not terribly useful. The unit uses A LOT of water because it cleans itself both before and after making coffee so ... MoreI did a lot of research before buying this unit.

My recommendation is to buy the 6150 unless you need the hot water spout because the other features are not terribly useful. The unit uses A LOT of water because it cleans itself both before and after making coffee so the water reservoir needs to be filled often and the drip tray needs to be emptied often. For this reason, I would not purchase a 5000 series because they hold less water. All of this said, the unit makes excellent Latte and Cappucino drinks with thick and warm milk foam. The coffee produced by the machine reminds me more of that I have had in Europe and represents a cross between filter coffee and espresso. The controls take a while to learn but the ability to modify the amount of ground coffee, temperature, and volume of water are very useful. The factory refurbished units are an exceptional value with a 2-year warranty.

Mixed.

Nice-looking machine. Makes tasty drinks. This, of course, depends on your taste, and chosen beans. Others have complained about the proscribed cleaning regimen, and under-sized disposal tray. We minimize this by having a cup under the dispensing spouts whenever cleaning is happening. It is irritating that the machine requires rinsing at every turn-on, even if you did so after your last use. You get cool-looking, hot beverages, but the temperature drops precipitously with machiatos and lattes if you stir them.We already own a Technivorm and Breville Barista (with built-in conical grinder). The Technivorm makes tastier coffee, and the Breville equivalent espresso. Having the milk froth, and steamed milk, dispensed into drinks is a nice feature, and adds creaminess ... MoreNice-looking machine. Makes tasty drinks.
