The Siemens EQ700 in Piano Black (TP713GB9) is for someone who enjoys adjusting their drinks and wants the machine to make that easy. Its defining feature is the 5 inch iSelect display with touch and slide navigation, backed by a 2.4 litre water tank and Home Connect app control that unlocks extra recipes such as Cold Brew and Slow Brew.

In its favour
- The 2.4 L water tank is one of the largest here, so refills are less frequent in a busy home.
- Ten coffee specialist and 11 classic programmes are built in, with 35 more drinks such as Cold Brew in the app.
- aromaSelect offers mild, balanced or distinctive profiles, and up to 5 customised drinks can be saved.
Good to know
- At 46.7 cm deep it needs a deeper worktop than the slimmer machines in this guide.
- The listing does not state grinder settings or the size of the bean hopper.
Our take
Menu depth and personal settings
Built into the machine are 10 coffee specialist programmes and 11 classic ones, according to the spec table. The Home Connect app adds a further 35 international beverages under the coffeeWorld banner. Up to 5 customised drinks can be saved with your preferred strength, water volume and milk quantity, and aromaSelect lets you pick a mild, balanced or distinctive flavour profile.
Siemens also lists iAroma and an intelligent strength adjustment. The listing does not explain how these work in detail, so treat them as automatic tuning aids rather than features you can control precisely.
Milk handling and cleaning routine
Milk is handled by a cappuccinatore fed through a milk pipe, rather than a sealed jug. You can draw milk straight from a carton or a container of your choice, and autoMilk Clean flushes the system after use. A water filter, a test strip and an insertion aid are in the box, which means you can set the water hardness on day one and stretch the time between descales.
The trade-off with a pipe system is that the tube itself still needs a proper clean from time to time, which is more fiddly than a two-part jug.
Footprint and the figures to check
At 46.7 cm deep, 30.9 cm wide and 38 cm high, this is one of the bulkier machines in its class, so measure the worktop depth before ordering. The 2.4 litre tank is the reward for that size: a busy household can go noticeably longer between refills. Weight is 9.4 kg and power 1500 watts, with a 2 year manufacturer warranty stated.
Grinder settings and bean hopper capacity are not given in the listing, which is a gap for anyone who cares about grind adjustment.
Compared with Philips and Bosch
The Philips 5500 LatteGo is slimmer and its tube-free jug is simpler to clean, but it has a smaller tank and no app. The Bosch Series 4 VeroCafe lists a ceramic grinder and a 9 drink menu in a simpler package. The Siemens is the one to pick when menu depth and a large screen matter more than worktop space.
Verdict
The Siemens EQ700 suits a household that likes options, wants to save favourite drinks and values a big tank. If you have a shallow worktop or prefer the easiest milk cleaning, the Philips 5500 LatteGo is the better choice, while the Bosch Series 4 VeroCafe makes sense if nine drinks are plenty.
