Third-party reviews

What we like about Siemens EQ.300 TI351209RW

  • Makes great tasting coffee and espresso with good crema
  • Simple one-touch operation for coffee and milk specialties
  • Convenient in-cup frothing system makes thick, creamy foam
  • Compact design fits well under standard kitchen cabinets
  • Easy to clean, with a removable brewing unit and easy-to-clean milk system
  • Adjustable coffee strength and grind settings

What we don't like about Siemens EQ.300 TI351209RW

  • Machine rinsing cycle on startup is frequent and time-consuming
  • No indicator for low water or low coffee beans
  • Small water tank requires frequent refilling
  • Can be noisy during operation
  • Limited customization options compared to higher-end models
  • Milk temperature can sometimes be just lukewarm

Verdict

The Siemens EQ.300 TI351209RW is a 1300W fully automatic espresso machine equipped with a 15-bar pressure pump, a 1.4-litre removable water tank, and a 250g bean container. Its main characteristics include an intuitive coffeeDirect touch display with oneTouch functionality, a durable ceramDrive ceramic grinder, and the iAroma system for consistent flavor extraction. The primary pros are its hassle-free MilkPerfect wand that froths milk directly in the cup and a removable front-accessible brewing unit that makes cleaning effortless. However, its main cons include the inability to brew two servings at once, the lack of temperature customization, the absence of a pre-ground coffee chute, and no display indicators for low water or bean levels.
