Product Overview
The Miele CM 5310 Silence Automatic Coffee Maker is a premium built-in coffee machine designed specifically for home use, combining advanced brewing technology with elegant design. Engineered for discerning coffee lovers who appreciate both rich flavor and quiet operation, this model stands out with its innovative AromaticSystem and OneTouch for Two functionality.

With customizable brew settings, automated cleaning programs, and intuitive controls, the CM 5310 Silence delivers a refined coffee experience tailored to individual tastes.
Key Features
- AromaticSystem: This proprietary technology optimizes water temperature and contact time during extraction, ensuring full flavor development from start to finish. By preserving volatile aromatic compounds typically lost in standard brewing methods, the system unlocks deeper notes and a more balanced cup—especially noticeable when using high-quality beans or specialty roasts.
- OneTouch for Two: Designed for efficiency and consistency, this feature allows users to prepare two identical cups of coffee simultaneously with a single touch. Whether serving guests, preparing for a busy morning, or simply enjoying a second cup without restarting the process, it ensures perfect duplication every time.
- Customizable Brew Options: The CM 5310 Silence offers extensive personalization through adjustable strength levels, volume control, and temperature settings. Users can fine-tune parameters to suit different preferences—from bold espresso-style brews to milder traditional coffee—making it adaptable to a wide range of tastes and bean types.
- Integrated Cleaning Programs: Built-in maintenance routines automatically clean internal components such as the brew head, water tank, and drip tray. These cycles not only simplify upkeep but also help prevent mineral buildup and flavor contamination, supporting consistent performance and extending the machine’s lifespan.
- Sleek Obsidian Black Design: The minimalist exterior features a matte black finish that resists fingerprints and blends effortlessly into modern kitchen environments. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for space-conscious layouts while maintaining a luxurious presence.

Benefits & Use Cases
The Miele CM 5310 Silence is best suited for individuals or households that prioritize flavor precision, quiet operation, and multi-cup convenience. Its ability to customize brew parameters empowers users to experiment with different coffee origins, roast profiles, and preparation styles to achieve their ideal cup. The OneTouch for Two function adds significant value for families or social settings where speed and uniformity matter. The integrated cleaning system reduces manual labor and supports long-term reliability, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a low-maintenance luxury appliance.
However, potential buyers should consider real-world usage patterns before purchasing. While praised for taste customization and quiet performance, some users note limitations in reservoir size and drip tray capacity—particularly when preparing multiple servings daily. The water reservoir holds about 48 ounces, which may be insufficient for heavy users or gatherings, requiring mid-morning refills. Similarly, the compact drip tray accommodates standard-sized mugs but can feel restrictive with taller or wider vessels.
Despite these considerations, many customers highlight the machine’s ability to deliver café-quality results at home. The AromaticSystem consistently produces well-extracted coffee with enhanced aroma and body, especially evident when using freshly ground beans. Regular use of the automated cleaning cycle maintains hygiene and prevents off-flavors, contributing to sustained performance over time.
Important Notes
Customer feedback reveals a range of perspectives on build quality, ease of cleaning, and overall value. Some appreciate the robust construction and thoughtful engineering, while others express concerns about perceived fragility in certain components. Opinions also vary regarding the price-to-benefit ratio—some view it as a worthwhile investment for serious coffee enthusiasts, whereas others suggest it may exceed needs for casual drinkers.
Cleaning accessibility receives mixed reviews; although automated cycles handle much of the work, manual rinsing of removable parts like the drip tray and bean container remains necessary. Users recommend regular maintenance to uphold optimal performance.
It’s important to note that the CM 5310 Silence is sold as a standalone unit without installation hardware or accessories. Prospective buyers should confirm compatibility with their kitchen layout and ensure adequate space for ventilation around the appliance. Professional installation is recommended for built-in setups to guarantee proper fit and function.
Overall, the Miele CM 5310 Silence Automatic Coffee Maker appeals to those who value flavor precision, quiet operation, and intelligent automation. While not without minor drawbacks related to reservoir size and initial cost, its advanced brewing technologies and elegant design make it a strong contender for anyone seeking a sophisticated home coffee experience.

Nice Coffee & Expresso Machine
We have had our Miele CM 5300 for 2 months and like it very much.There are some things that make it a project to work the machine, like the water reservoir is small. It would be nice if it had a larger reservoir. It take a bit of time to get all the settings to exactly where you want, but stay with it and you will be happy.The cleaning (descale and other) cycles take some time, but the machine walks you through the processes.We love an afternoon expresso and most days make it a double.We believe that if you like coffee and want the capability to have it different ways, this is good machine. A bit pricy, but still we really like it.

Amateur machine at professional price
We had the Miele CM 5200 and had to replace it after some 8 years and 20,000 cups. This is supposed to be the updated model. The coffee flavor is still great. Yet, everything Miele changed is for the worse. The entire construction is made of more flimsy plastic. The grinder sounds shrill, although the machine calls itself âSilenceâ. Worst of all, the water tank and the drip tray are smaller, while the machine uses even more water to clean itself. As a result, instead of filling the tank and emptying the tray once a day, I now have to do that 2-3 times a day, basically after every 5 cups. We really liked the predecessor model but this thing is a toy and not for serious coffee drinkers. It is an amateur device at the price of a professional machine. Donât waste your money!Update: The designer cannot be a coffee drinker. The machine is supposed to be âsuper automaticâ, meaning that it makes espresso, lungo, cappuccino, or latte with the touch of a single button. What is the point of that, if I always have to service the machine as if I was itâs assistant and had nothing else to do? I could buy a barista machine for 1/3 of the price if I wanted to work all the time! Very annoying!!!!!!

Best Superautomatic for the price range available as of 2022 if you prefer coffee drinks
I prefer stronger Milk and Americano drinks and my wife prefers weaker Americano drinks. I say this because this context matters to my following review. I have spent hours researching and testing various machines and I will say there is no “perfect” one that I have found. I tried many of the superautomattics with the milk drink capability such as the SMEG, Jura, D6 & E6, the Phillips 3200, Seaco Xelsis , and the Miele CM6350 (refurb that dies a week later) and this Miele CM5510 Quiet.First, both my wife and I both prefer the flavor of the Miele’s. The same beans (same bag) simply taste better. Yes this is subjective but the note vs Jura E6 is significantly different in that the Jura (including some of the office models I have tried) is much more acidic. Both the Jura and Miele’s output very hot coffees and fairly hot milk. The milk froth and micro-bubbles are hot and essentially the same.Second, the Miele’s are truly “super automatics” where you press one button and you get a complete milk drink (e.g. Macchiato) . Mid-line Jura’s require you to manually flip a switch to start and stop the milk. Additionally you must then manually clean the milk pipes. Therefore are they truly super automatics? No. If you want a true automatic then you need to spend $1000 more.Third, these 2 Miele’s largely self-clean themselves (both coffee spigots, milk spigots and milk tubing) each day when they auto-shut down. You need only dump the waste water and coffee puck trays every few days (depending on volume of drinks) and then rinse the brew unit every week which takes seconds. The Jura and others require more manual intervention.Lastly, the ability to set “profiles” is much more fine-grained on the Miele’s. On the Jura’s it is not even a feature. Instead you must chose your coffee choice and then manually change the bean and water quantities on the fly and the settings for every cup. The only work around is to pay another $65 for the bluetooth dongle and app and then select the custom drink config from your phone. On these Miele’s you can create profiles (e.g. a strong one for me and a weak one for my wife) the adjusts temperature, bean QTY, amount of water, and other advanced variables such as pre-brewing) . Again, all of this amounts to a single button to get exactly what you want in your drink and then later the machine will clean itself.Net = the machines are not cheap and suffer from a few other issues such as small bean hoppers and water containers but overall, I believe the new CM 5510 Silence is the best that I have found for under $2,000

Delivers what I want
Objective was to get back kitchen space after 30 years of using a commercial coffee grinder the size of a basketball and a coffee maker almost as large. My coffee was perfect. The grinder made a lot of noise and the Bunn coffee maker had to be three steps away. Coffee is only perfect for 15 minutes no matter how you do it. This Miele device grinds quietly and provides one large cup in 3 minutes from button touch to table. I never serve more than two people at once so it works fine. I think I could serve four if I had to. I never use milk so that technology is wasted on me. The machine doesnât trust you to empty rinse water and grinds. So sometimes I have to fake a procedure. Itâs easy. I donât like so much plastic but it looks good and works very well. I have mineral free water that doesnât produce scale⦠so I have yet to see how far the machine will go to demand descaling procedure. I think I can fake that too. I also junked the espresso machine because this thing makes great espresso. Whatâs more I never hesitate to brew espresso because itâs always ready to go. I use light roast coffee beans that are perfect for regular coffee and espresso. I can say with much experience, if Miele makes something, it does the job as well as it can be done.

Just not that impressive, especially for the price.
It makes OK coffee — not as good as I can do manually with a lot less fuss. And although it’s “automatic,” you have to stick around to add more water or empty the catch tray. Might as well be making the coffee, too, while I’m standing by the machine.
