This technology from Siemens aims to revolutionize the maintenance of coffee machines with grinders
The (happy) owners of an automatic coffee machine with grinder have all experienced this scenario: when making a good coffee, the machine asks to descale the machine, or to clean the distribution circuits. With the Siemens EQ 900 Plus TQ903DZ3, this should be nothing more than a bad memory. Indeed, the German manufacturer has developed an automatic maintenance system for cleaning the various distribution channels, but also for descaling the insides of the machine, without user intervention. Named autoCalc'n Cleanit is based on two product cartridges (one for cleaning, the other for descaling) to be inserted on the left side of the device; the Siemens EQ 900 Plus TQ903DZ3 will draw from the cassettes regularly to prevent the machine from being blocked for too long during descaling.
To be completely comprehensive about these cartridges, they will be sufficient for 9 months of use and will be sold in packs: €109.96 from the manufacturer. But you can also buy the anti-scale cartridge (€67.45) or the cleaning cartridge (€55.45).
Still on the subject of the “wow effect”, the ceramic grinder (to avoid heating the grain) of the Siemens EQ 900 Plus automatically adapts the fineness of the grind to the type of grain present in the bin. According to our contacts at the Siemens stand, it is thanks to the resistance of the grains in the grinder that this technology eGrinder knows how to grind the coffee powder.
Of course, the Siemens EQ 900 Plus TQ903DZ3 automatic coffee machine with grinder has many other assets to attract potential buyers. The most striking is the very large color touch screen iSelect Display which should make the preparation of a drink as fluid as possible. And it was necessary to navigate through the selection of drinks which includes no less than 35 recipes, milky or not, according to the technical sheet. And if that were not enough, the HomeConnect application allows you to download other preparations: Black eye, Café cortado, Cortado, Dead eye… Is it really necessary to specify it? Whether via the screen of the EQ 900 or via the smartphone, coffee lovers will be able to modify their drink as desired, by increasing the quantity delivered, the intensity of the aroma, the level of milk foam…
On a more down-to-earth note, the Siemens EQ 900 Plus TQ903DZ3 has a large 2.3-liter water tank that won't need to be refilled all the time. In addition, the bean container has a capacity of 410 grams, well above what most competitors on the market offer (250 grams, in general). It should be noted that the user can remove the extraction unit from its location for a more thorough cleaning than that offered by the automatic system, which is not a bad thing.
The Siemens EQ 900 Plus TQ903DZ3 automatic coffee machine with grinder is now available for a premium price: €2,999.
