Our Review /5

This stylish and sleek machine is Miele’s take on the Bean to Cup Coffee machine. High-quality coffee is just one touch away with the modern touch interface. The CM 6150 takes personalisation to the next step by allowing you to create your own user profile as well! And with it’s “OneTouch for Two” function you can create two identical drinks simultaneously.

If you are less discerning, then this machine will instantly give you a high-quality cup of coffee. However, suppose you have a more sophisticated palette? In that case, you can tweak the exact settings to your requirements. Whether you like an extra-strong coffee or an extra milky latte, you can curate profile to match the person. For some, this is a lengthy process of trial and error, the end of result of being a list of preset options to get your perfect drink every time.

For those clean freaks among you, this machine will take cleanliness as seriously as you do. It gives detailed instructions on how to regularly clean it and expects you to do it once a week. This is especially important as milk will be passing through the machine, so it’s crucial with dairy to be as careful as possible. By default, the CM 6150 doesn’t come with a milk container so you either need to buy one or be prepared to stick the tube straight into the milk bottle.

We have trouble criticising this machine apart from the price. Even among Bean to Cup machines, this is at the high end of the spectrum. The settings and personalisation options are lovely, but for £700 or £800 you can get a very similar experience but slightly cheaper. But when a machine lasts you between 5 and 10 years, an extra £200 only equates to extra pennies every day.
