I bought this as a replacement for a Melitta T-Smart machine, which was nice but began to fail down to one simple bearing when it was 2.5 to 3 years old. I could not simply source this bearing anywhere or even the whole motor drive component containing the bearing, maybe a Brexit thing but some of the prices I did find were off the scale of an economic repair. I didn't get much help from Melitta, other than sending it to their approved repairers, that starts to become expensive. I am able to repair it but without the spares, I was drifting along that well travelled creek! They did offer to push the matter along to another department but I never heard from them - so if any Melitta folk are reading this & are offended.......After that I tried a Melitta Solo, that broke very quickly & was soon returned.I will include a few comparisons within my review.So I put my researching hat on & opted for a brand change. I've had the machine for coming up two months & I am impressed, it is simple to use, simple to adjust the plethora of drink options but retains the last used within any types of the drinks served. I only drink black coffee (hence trying the Solo) but I get 3 options, you can easily adjust the strength & size of each drink. I read some reviews regarding the milk temperature & initially tried warming the milk for 30 seconds in the microwave but after a spell the milk drinkers in the house stopped bothering & are happy with the finished article.Overall I feel the unit makes a good brew, it is easier to keep clean on it's insides when the brew unit has been removed. The water tank is of a good capacity, takes a little care to avoid spillages as it is wide & narrow, the filters last for 2 months & there is a nifty little slider on the water tank numbered 1 to 12 which you can move as & when the filter is changed. The water tank is on the left side of the machine so placement in your kitchen maybe a consideration.Overall size is similar to others out there, it only has rubber feet so you really need to lift it to move in order to clean around machine. Comparing this Siemens machine with the Melitta T-Smart had wheels on the back so you only need to left the front up too move it about, to get around this I had ordered a Coolina (Premium Sliding Board Glider for Fully Automatic Coffee Machine - Suitable for Siemens EQ Series - Made of Acrylic Anthracite) board from Bolo to sit beneath the machine, not the cheapest but one-off purchases are sometimes like that & they are quality products.**** EDIT - THE BOARD THAT ARRIVED WAS AS SMALLER ONE FOR A THERMOMIX & NOT AS STATED IN THE BLURB, THEREFORE I RETURNED THAT BOARD, THE CORRECT ONE IS OUT OF STOCK AND THE RETURN IS TO THE EU & IT LOOKS LIKE COOLINA DO NOT SHIP DIRECTLY TO THE UK, SO I'LL BE SCRATCHING MY HEAD ON THAT ONE FOR A WHILE. ****Water tank capacity is similar to the T-Smart but the the Solo was only small & you end up filling every other brew.The bean hopper is huge but only holds one type of bean, whereas the T-Smart holds 2 types so you can have mild / full-flavoured or normal / decaffeinated. However the ground coffee option, using a little pull out drawer on the side works better than the Melitta method but you do have to remember to use the bean strength button to select the ground coffee option, there is even a scoop slotted into the machine if you don't have one.I've given up drinking instant coffee, the cafetiere / French press option is fine for nice flavoured coffees but leaves you with a bit of a cleaning up faffage with all the wet grounds, not best to just pour them down your kitchen sink as they can collect in nooks & crannies, spread them around the garden yes but apparently they can be acidic towards some plants & on occasion it may just rain in the UK.Yes I am a coffee snob, I love buying a coffee whilst I am out & about from independent providers but I also like to drink nice coffee at home & I recommend this machine. I cannot comment on it's life expectancy but for now It is doing just fine, is fit for purpose & I am happy with the price I paid.

I am extremely dissappointed that this almost halved in price within a couple of days of me ordering it given the large amounts of money that I spend personally and for business a helpful hint would have been nice! It seems a great machine but getting the milk to the right temp is difficult and indeed the milk needs to be pre heated in the microwave!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely brilliant

Great coffee machine—quiet, easy to operate, and makes excellent coffee.

5.0 out of 5 stars Coffee as I like it

S.M. · 30 April 2025

The initial set up is a bit of a faf, but now that it’s up and running it makes excellent coffee. I’ve tried two different types of beans, and been delighted with the results. I also think I’ve tried all the different types of coffee it offers, and have adjusted the settings for my favourites to suit my tastes. After a month plus worth of use I am very happy with this coffee machine.

High-end machine and great taste

The coffee is at the same level as a coffee shop, with foam and taste. The device is fast and the sound is like other coffee machines. The coffee temperature is good and I did not notice that the temperature is lukewarm compared to the expensive Jura machines.

The best coffee machine

C.C. · 19 June 2023

Not even 2 Months old and suddenly the display is glitching displaying lines all over with no possibility to choose any drink. Since the seller is Bolo Global I was given the option to return it but I will need to arrange for shipment myself which is horrendously expensive. I was also given the option to repair in any service Center but since this machine is only 2 months with me I feel it is unsafe to repair which voids the warranty. I am sending it with a heavy heart back.
