DeLonghi Dinamica Plus vs Miele CM 5310

Q: Is the Dinamica Plus better than the CM 5310?

It depends on your priorities. The DeLonghi Dinamica Plus excels for users who want the superior micro-foam texture of the LatteCrema system, while the Miele CM 5310 is the better choice if you prioritize compact German engineering and silence.

Q: How do the grinders compare?

The Dinamica Plus uses a Steel Conical, whereas the CM 5310 features a Steel Conical. While both are high-quality internal systems, they are sealed components. To prevent clogging and avoid expensive repairs, we strongly recommend using non-oily, medium-roast beans in both machines.

Q: Which machine is easier to clean?

The Dinamica Plus uses a Removable brew group, while the CM 5310 uses a Removable system. Generally, removable groups (like DeLonghi) allow for manual rinsing under a tap, while fixed groups (like Jura) rely on automated tablet cleaning cycles.

Buy the Dinamica Plus if you:

Prioritize the superior micro-foam of the LatteCrema system.
Need app connectivity to customize recipes from the couch.
Want a machine that is widely supported by service centers.

Buy the CM 5310 if you:

Want compact German engineering and silence.
Need a powerful machine that fits in a tight space.
Appreciate the AromaticSystem for intense coffee flavor.

Expert Verdict

"Choose the Dinamica Plus if you prioritize the superior micro-foam texture of the LatteCrema system. Pick the CM 5310 if compact German engineering and silence matters more to you."
