Third-party reviews

What we like about Miele CM 5510 Silence

  • Significantly quieter grinder compared to previous models and competitors
  • Excellent, high-quality espresso and creamy milk foam
  • OneTouch for Two functionality allows making two milk-based or black coffee drinks simultaneously
  • Easy to clean and maintain, with many components being dishwasher-safe
  • Allows for individual user profiles to save personalized beverage preferences

What we don't like about Miele CM 5510 Silence

  • Requires frequent emptying of the drip tray and refilling of the water tank
  • The interface uses older, non-touch screen button technology, which some feel is outdated
  • Long, frequent cleaning cycles can be frustrating for some users
  • Limited capacity (200g bean container) compared to larger machines
  • High price point, despite being an entry-level machine in the Miele premium range

Verdict

The Miele CM 5510 Silence is a superautomatic bean-to-cup machine with 1450 W of power, a 15-bar pump, a 1.3-litre water tank and a 200 g bean container. Its quiet steel conical grinder and automatic preparation are practical for everyday use, although the machine needs routine maintenance like other bean-to-cup systems.
