Don't Ruin Your New Investment

Regardless of which machine you choose, both rely on internal grinders that are sensitive to oily beans. To keep your DeLonghi or Miele out of the repair shop, stick to these non-oily selections.

Lavazza Gran Crema
This is my #1 recommendation if you make milk drinks. The slightly darker roast punches through the milk better than the Super Crema.

Lavazza Gran Crema

South American Arabicas blended with South East Asian Robustas. Rich and intense with notes of dark chocolate and spices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the PrimaDonna Soul better than the CM 6360? ▼
It depends on your priorities. The DeLonghi PrimaDonna Soul excels for users who want Bean Adapt Technology that dials in your grind automatically, while the Miele CM 6360 is the better choice if you prioritize OneTouch for Two and robust build quality.
How do the grinders compare? ▼
The PrimaDonna Soul uses a Steel Flat (Electronic), whereas the CM 6360 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.
Which machine is easier to clean? ▼
The PrimaDonna Soul uses a Removable brew group, while the CM 6360 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.
