Siemens TI351209GB EQ.300 Bean to Cup Fully Automatic Freestanding Coffee Machine - Black

Product Information

Bean container can store about 250g of bean coffee. This is fairly enough for home usage. 250g / 6g for each espresso ~= 40 cups of coffee. But the problem is water tank is relatively small (1.4 Liter) and you must fill the tank frequently. There are some high capacity automatic coffee machines, like Saeco Lirika, but this is enough for daily home use. If you are making too much coffee in a day, that might be annoying. But, if you are making 4-5 cups a day (like me) it is not a problem.

When you open the tray door, you will see grounded coffee at the right side of tray. Problem is dirty brewing unit. It has many customization options to make your own coffee, like customizable coffee strength, customizable grinder level, customizable coffee volume, etc. All of that customization options give you chance to make “your” coffee. There isn’t a separate milk wand for frothing up milk in a jug, so you don’t get that barista experience. I tried a few things, like making a full calc’nclean process, removing and re-inserting brewing unit, etc. But non of them worked.

Used to warm coffee cups. Although it looks like a good feature, it is not as useful as seen. It is a passively heated by means of boiler. It is not so powerful and it warms cups very very slowly! Especially if you are in a cold room don’t expect something much about this feature. For this reason, I think, this feature is removed from most of the upper models. This Siemens EQ.300 Bean to Cup Coffee Maker has some great features and considerations for those that love a sensory coffee experience.

EQ3 has a ceramic grinder. Ceramic grinders are superior to stainless-steel type grinders. Because, stainless-steel grinders easily heat as it is used. Hence coffee beans start to burnt and you get ruin flavor from any coffee you made. Fortunately, Siemens EQ3 has ceramic grinder and you will not meet such a thing. Gently tap the bean container. Possibly change the type of coffee. When the bean container is empty, wipe it with a dry cloth. The Siemens EQ.300 Bean to Cup Coffee Machine has a nice design that is somewhere between an accessible at-home machine for simple coffee production and something more high-end. So far, so good! No problem since then. Siemens EQ.300 dispensing Coffee into the drip tray Problem

Siemens EQ 300 has total of 10 big front buttons. Some for maintenance, some for additional options and some for coffee types. That use of ceramic is also meant to be more durable for long-term use. Then there is the iAroma system for a better scent and the chance to increase the intensity. This should all appeal to those that like to savour their coffee. EQ3’s grinder is adjustable. You can set grinding level according to your needs or type of bean coffee you use. Siemens recommends finer grinding level for dark-roasted coffee beans and coarser grinding level for lighter coffee beans. It was at the finest level when I buy the machine. Then I changed to medium level and now I get much more better coffee! You must try all of the levels to find best level for you. There are also comments about the temperature of the drinks when using milk. An insulated milk reservoir is sold separately so you would need to pay a little more for a better temperature.

Here I must mention about noise level of Siemens EQ3. EQ3 has a 67 db. noise level Especially while grinding bean coffee, EQ3 is a bit noisy. But at this price level, that much noise is normal. If you want more silent bean-to-cup coffee machine, you must prefer an upper model, like Siemens EQ9, which has 62 db. noise level. Bean Container & Water Filter
