Controls
Siemens EQ900: 6.8-inch iSelect display
You can control all Siemens EQ900 fully automatic espresso machines via the large 6.8-inch touchscreen display. The coffee menu shows 21 coffee specialties from 8 different countries. Underneath the touchscreen display, you'll find touch buttons. This way, you can go to your favorites right away and easily switch between coffee profiles.
Siemens EQ700: 5-inch iSelect display
You can also control the Siemens EQ700 via the touchscreen display. That's a 5-inch screen, so it's a bit smaller than the EQ900. With the iSelect display, you can swipe across the screen to get a lot of choice from international black coffees and milk specialties. This way, you can discover 21 coffee specialties with a tap on the screen.
Customization options
Siemens EQ900: baristaMode, beanIdent system, and eGrinder
With a single swipe, you can customize your flavor preferences to the smallest detail. This way, you can use the baristaMode to create your own recipe. It's even possible to customize the coffee strength, amount, temperature, coffee to milk ratio, brew temperature, brew speed, and grind size. The beanIdent system gives advice for the optimal setting for the roast and flavor of the coffee beans you chose. Lastly, eGrinder adjusts the grind size for every cup: from coarse to fine and everything in between.
Siemens EQ700: aromaSelect
With the Siemens EQ700, you have fewer customization options. This product is for you if you only want to adjust the most important settings. For example, choose the strength of your coffee, then the amount, and lastly the aroma. With aromaSelect, you can adjust the coffee aroma to 3 different aroma settings: mild, balanced, or distinct.
Milk system
The Siemens EQ900 series has a milk reservoir, and the Siemens EQ700 offers the choice between a milk tube or milk reservoir. The advantage of a milk reservoir is that you can put it in the fridge after you used it. This way, you can easily take it out when you need it again. You can place the milk tube in any type of milk carton, so you can use all sorts of milk. With both series, you can make 1 or 2 milk specialties at the same time. With the autoMilk Clean function, the Siemens coffee machines clean the milk system after every brew with a steam cleaning process. That's hygienic.
Noise level
At 58dB, both machines are the most silent fully automatic Siemens coffee machines. The bean grinders have special covers that make sure they mute the most of the sound.
Home Connect
You can also control both machines with the app. With the Home Connect app, you'll get access to extra coffee specialties and you can control the machine anytime, anywhere. You can even make a coffee when you're still in bed. Don't forget to place a cup underneath the machine. With the app, you'll discover an exclusive selection of coffee specialties for both machines. This way, you can make even more coffees than what's on the display. In addition, you can make coffees in the order you want via coffeePlaylist.
Conclusion
One thing is certain: with both Siemens series, you'll get a silent coffee machine with which you can make many coffee specialties. The Siemens EQ 900 is for you if you want to customize your coffee to the smallest detail, like the grind size and temperature. The Siemens EQ 700 is for you if you like different (international) coffee specialties and you only need to adjust the basics like the strength and amount.
