Third-party reviews

What we like about Siemens EQ.6 Plus S100 TE651209RW

  • High-quality coffee taste and crema with adjustable grinding fineness
  • Wide selection of beverages including cappuccino and latte macchiato at the touch of a button
  • Automatic milk system cleaning (autoMilk Clean) makes maintenance easy
  • User-friendly intuitive display and customization options (temperature, volume, strength)
  • Quiet grinder and effective milk tube system for direct use from milk carton

What we don't like about Siemens EQ.6 Plus S100 TE651209RW

  • Drip tray and coffee ground container fill quickly and require frequent emptying
  • Limited to saving only one custom favorite coffee profile
  • Occasional issues with descaling, which can lead to machine blockage if not maintained
  • Machine takes up significant counter space (bulky)
  • Some users reported lower temperatures for milky drinks or inconsistent long-term reliability

Verdict

The Siemens EQ.6 Plus S100 TE651209RW is a fully automatic 1500W bean-to-cup coffee machine featuring a 15-bar pump system, a 1.7-litre water tank, and a 300g bean container with an integrated, durable CeramDrive ceramic grinder. Key highlights include an intuitive, full-colour coffeeSelect touch display, a flexible automatic milk pipe system for one-touch specialty drinks, and advanced brewing technologies like the iAroma system and aromaDouble Shot for extra-strong coffee without the bitterness. Main advantages comprise its highly automated maintenance, such as the autoMilk Clean steam cycle and a completely removable brewing unit for easy hygienic rinsing. However, notable drawbacks include the absence of a cup-warming plate, a relatively small coffee grounds tray that requires frequent emptying, and the limitation of saving only a single user profile.
