What we like about Siemens EQ.300 TI351209GB

  • Excellent, high-quality coffee and crema produced consistently
  • Simple, user-friendly operation with intuitive [CoffeeDirect button controls](https://www.siemens-home.bsh-group.com/uk/en/mkt-product/TI351209GB)
  • Effective [in-cup milk frother](https://www.siemens-home.bsh-group.com/uk/en/mkt-product/TI351209GB) makes great cappuccinos and lattes
  • Easy to clean, with dishwasher-safe parts and an accessible [milk nozzle](https://www.siemens-home.bsh-group.com/uk/en/mkt-product/TI351209GB)
  • Compact and stylish design that fits well under standard kitchen cabinets
  • Good value for money as an entry-level bean-to-cup machine

What we don't like about Siemens EQ.300 TI351209GB

  • Small water tank requires frequent refilling
  • Machine is loud during the grinding process
  • System rinses automatically on startup, consuming water and requiring frequent drip tray emptying
  • Lack of alerts for low water or empty bean hopper
  • Drinks may not be hot enough for some users

Verdict

The Siemens EQ.300 TI351209GB is a 1300W freestanding bean-to-cup coffee machine operating at 15 bars of pump pressure with a 1.4-litre removable water tank and a 250g fresh bean container. Its core characteristics include a ceramDrive ceramic grinder, the iAroma system for optimal extraction, and a coffeeDirect LED touch panel with oneTouch preparation for drinks like espresso and cappuccino. Pros include highly intuitive operation, dishwasher-safe components, and the milkPerfect system that froths milk directly inside the cup. However, notable cons include its noisy grinding operation, the lack of digital low-bean or low-water indicators, and a relatively small water tank that requires frequent refilling due to automatic rinsing cycles.
