Product Information

Weigh up the pros and cons of this Siemens espresso machine and see how they relate to your ideal coffee-making experience. 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

After using 1.5 years, I met the “ Restart Appliance” error. This message was flashing and disabling Coffee Machine. When I see that error, I restart my EQ3, usually Coffee machine starts running, but not always! When you open the tray door, you will see grounded coffee at the right side of tray. Problem is dirty brewing unit. This Siemens EQ.300 Bean to Cup Coffee Maker has some great features and considerations for those that love a sensory coffee experience. Things start to get more problematic when you add the milk into the equation. The insulation milk reservoir could be a good investment to improve these issues, however. Then I took a plastic brush and cleaned all part of the brewing unit, deeply, under tap water for 5 minutes. At the end, unit was like new!So far, so good! No problem since then. Siemens EQ.300 dispensing Coffee into the drip tray Problem Gently tap the bean container. Possibly change the type of coffee. When the bean container is empty, wipe it with a dry cloth. While it might sound complicated, there is actually one-touch functionality with simple buttons on the console for all the options. There are also removable parts for easy cleaning, such as the removable drip tray, and an automatic descaling programme. 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. Making “near” coffee shop level quality coffee in home comfort is possible with Siemens EQ 300. This machine aims “best standard” coffee in all cases easily and actually do that!

Take a plastic brush and clean all part of the brewing unit, deeply, under tap water for 5 minutes. Dry gently, and re-inserted to the Siemens EQ.300 machine. There isn’t a separate milk wand for frothing up milk in a jug, so you don’t get that barista experience.

Cup Warmer Button – Located left upper of front panel. 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.

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.Siemens EQ.300 has one of the best price/performance ratio over similar automatic coffee machines. It is an extremely easy to use bean to cup coffee machine. 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. 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. Update: After 6 months, same problem happened again. Then, I washed Siemens EQ3 brewing unit in dishwasher 🙂 It is like a new now 🙂 I tried a few things, like making a full calc’nclean process, removing and re-inserting brewing unit, etc. But non of them worked.
