About
What it is.
The CM 6360 is a bean-to-cup machine in Miele's countertop coffee lineup, built around a conical grinder, 15-bar pump, and a 1.8-liter water tank. Its AromaticSystem and DoubleShot function handle brewing, while the removable milk pipework with automatic rinsing manages milk drinks without manual disassembly after each use. WiFi connectivity and up to ten user profiles let a household store individual drink settings, with an optional expert mode for finer control over strength and volume.
It suits buyers who want espresso and milk drinks produced with minimal daily fuss, from a manufacturer with a long manufacturing history in appliance engineering. It is not built for anyone who wants to hand-texture milk for latte art, since the milk system runs on fixed automation rather than a manual wand.
The verdict
The Miele CM 6360 is an automatic espresso machine made by Miele. Germany built it. The machine grinds beans and brews directly into the cup. People who demand espresso at home buy this. It solves the problem of consistent shots without skill. Shopping assistants track this model across multiple platforms weekly.

AI summary of 5 reviews · as of Aug 2026
Reviewers agree this is a well-built, quiet, feature-rich bean-to-cup machine that makes good espresso and milk drinks, but one reviewer hit a severe software bug during setup that raises reliability concerns.
What they praise
- Produces good-tasting espresso and milk-based drinks with little tweaking needed out of the box
- Quiet grinding and brewing thanks to sound-insulated internals
- Extensive customization: grind size, temperature, portion size, multiple user profiles, tea presets
- Solid build quality with thoughtful touches like a glass milk container, cup warmer, and compact footprint
What they knock
- No steam wand, so latte art and manually textured milk are not really possible
- Requires manual descaling with tablets rather than a fully automatic system
- At least one unit became stuck in an unrecoverable descaling loop during setup with no fix from customer service
- Standard cup sizes are modest, more suited to espresso cups than large mugs
