EQ900 Plus TQ907GZ3

After the last machine I had, I wanted a dual hopper machine. I didn't even know such a machine existed, other than having a spare hopper you can swap out. I was very happy when I discovered this machine, so I can have decaf and full caf bean without any faffing around. So things I love: I love that you can make weak to really strong coffee with just a stroke to change it. Plus being able to save to favourites so I have made 2 faves for me and 2 each for daughter and SIL. I love the variety the machine can give too. Very easy to use (I use barrista mode so I guess the other mode is even easier). I love the modern look to the machine too. What I did not like as much: The manual you get is far from clear... the pictures are small and unclear and I found it difficult to follow. I should add that I am quite tech savvy so have not had this issue before. For eg, when you take the side out with the water container then take the 2nd part out, there are 2 plastic red parts that there is *no* mention at all of in parts so when I had to remove one to remove the tape, the other came away too and there were *no* instructions saying what they were for or how to get them back in place. IMO a major omision in the instructions. Also, there are so many diagrams all in the front of the manual that every time you are checking how to do something, you need to go back and find the correct diagram. It would make far more sense to have each diagram on the page explaining what things are for/how to do something. I read one review saying they set it up and working within 20 minutes - I found it took a lot longer. Coffee tastes wonderful - although getting the strength just right takes some hits and misses. I like the large water tank - although that requires quite some space on that side. I would prefer a larger milk tank as this runs out much quicker than the water. . However, so far, despite the minor niggles I love this machine. Very early days, but so far, so good. Oh one tip, leave a cup underneath all the time as it does things automatically that spurts out water.

Excellent coffee machine which makes lovely coffee. The automated cleaning cycles due to the cartridges are worth the extra cost over other models in the range. Just replaced the descale cartridge after 18 months of usage and the clean cartridge is still going. There are step by step guides on the colour display for all the cleaning activities which are easy to follow.

Rubbish , water runs through the bottom when I started it, flooding my kitchen And milk jar was missing Also sent it back and just noticed still didn’t get my refund

I have been using this machine since November 12, 2024, and I can confidently say it’s an outstanding coffee machine. The dual bean containers are a fantastic feature – I can easily separate decaf and regular beans, or use my premium beans from Italy in one container and my everyday beans in the other. The self-cleaning system is excellent, always giving the feeling of drinking coffee from a freshly cleaned machine. Manual cleaning is also incredibly simple, and the machine smartly tells you exactly when and how to do it. The coffee variety is much broader than I expected. At first, I thought it was just about different names, but as I tried coffees from different countries, I truly felt the unique culture behind each one. My favorite so far is the “San Francisco Red Eye” – it has an amazing taste and you can clearly notice the brewing difference. In short, this machine brings the barista experience home with advanced technology, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves high-quality coffee.

Bought to replace a Delonghi primadonna elite - and glad i did! Easy to set up, intuitive interface and the espresso's are out of this world. I usually drink black coffees but I agree with many other reviews on here when i do swap - milky drinks are a bit on the cool side. Would I buy it again - yes!

The EQ900 Plus is a nice looking machine and appears well built. The large display is excellent and the user interface very clear. It can produce a wide selection of drinks and virtually every setting can be customised. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the temperature of the milk drinks produced is way too low, even on the highest setting. The temp of the coffee itself is fine, the problem is down to the temp of the added milk. I appreciate that coffee, especially with milk, shouldn’t be served at high temperatures, the ideal being around 60 to 65 Celsius, but I was finding the drinks produced often only reached mid 40’s. Things were a little better, if I used milk at room temperature, but Siemens themselves, say that the milk should be refrigerated. I did speak with Siemens support, but the only suggestion was to send the machine in to be repaired. After doing some further research online, I found a number of posts all saying that the temperature of milk drinks produced was way too low. Based on this, I made the decision to return the machine for a refund..

Excellent Bean to Cup coffee machine. Very little maintenance required, it does all the cleaning and descaling automatically. Great range of drinks to choose from.

By far the best engineered coffee machine I've owned. Easy to clean, which is a boon, most other brands I've had the used grounds get everywhere. Coffee drinks are the best I've had, milk foam is brilliant. The only negative is it could do with foaming the milk a little hotter. But most machines I've tried do tend to be a bit on the cool side. Other than it's brilliant.
