Siemens EQ700 TP715GB1 bean-to-cup coffee machine with 5" iSelect touchscreen

What you’re really buying

A fully automatic bean-to-cup machine is for people who want café-style drinks at home without the workflow of grinding, dosing, steaming milk and cleaning every step. The Siemens EQ700 TP715GB1 is built around exactly that idea: you load beans and milk, pick a drink, and it handles the rest.

On paper, the standout is the 5" iSelect touchscreen with touch and swipe navigation, plus the ability to tailor drinks to your exact taste. It also leans into “coffee profiles” and smarter options via Home Connect, which can matter if you like having routines (and don’t want to stand there fiddling before guests arrive). That said, it’s a machine with a lot of features, and those features only help if you’ll actually use them—otherwise a simpler bean-to-cup may feel more practical.

Controls and customisation you’ll notice day to day

The iSelect touchscreen is designed to make the interface feel more direct than basic button-only menus. With touch and swipe, you can move through drink options and settings more quickly, which is exactly what tends to get used repeatedly in real kitchens.

Then there’s aromaSelect: three aroma settings (soft, balanced, distinctive). This is a nice touch because it targets the flavour profile without forcing you into deeper manual adjustments. You can also save favourites—up to 10 customisable drinks—so the machine remembers your preferences. The saved settings can include coffee strength, water amount and milk quantities, which is the sort of detail that reduces “second-guessing” when you’re making the same order again.

A small reality check: saved profiles are great if multiple people in the household actually follow their own settings. If you’re the only user and you tend to keep everything default, you may not fully get the benefit.

Coffee variety, including cold and slow brew

This model is positioned as a broad drink machine, with 30+ coffee beverages available. It also mentions coffeeWorld with 35 international drinks, which is where features like Cold Brew and Slow Brew come in.

If you’re curious about making smoother, less traditional coffee styles at home, Cold Brew and Slow Brew are the kind of options that can feel “different” rather than just another latte variation. For a micro example: imagine you’ve got guests over in the afternoon—rather than relying on whatever coffee you have on hand, you can run a Cold Brew style drink through the machine and keep things consistent.

Smart app control and international drink library (Home Connect)

Home Connect is included, so you can operate the machine remotely via the app. It also connects to coffeeWorld for additional international drink options (the entry mentions 35 drinks in that context).

This is most useful if your household has a routine: you can start the machine when you’re on the way in from work, or set it up before you come downstairs. It’s less useful if you’re always at the machine already, or if mobile control isn’t something you’d realistically use.

Also worth noting: app features can depend on setup and connectivity. It’s not a deal-breaker, but it’s something to factor in if you prefer machines that are fully “offline-first”.

Milk experience and cleaning approach

The EQ700 includes a Cappuccinatore and mentions autoMilk Clean. In daily use, this matters because milk systems are the bit that usually turns “easy coffee” into “extra maintenance”. An auto-clean cycle is the difference between keeping the milk frothing system pleasant to use and letting it build up.

If you enjoy cappuccinos and milk-based drinks regularly, this is one of the reasons the Siemens makes sense. If you mainly drink straight espresso-style coffees and rarely use milk, you might find you’re paying for parts you don’t use much.

Key considerations before you buy

A machine like this sits in the “feature-heavy” end of bean-to-cup. Before committing, it’s worth checking whether you’ll use: - the saved favourites (up to 10) - aromaSelect settings - Cold Brew / Slow Brew options - Home Connect remote control

If your routine is simple—say, mostly one drink, made at the same time, with minimal customisation—then the extra options may not feel like value. But if you (or your household) like variety and consistency, the combination of touchscreen control, saved profiles and milk cleaning support is where it starts to pay off.

Is it worth it?

Worth considering if you want a bean-to-cup machine that does more than standard espresso and milk drinks, and you’ll actually use the touchscreen navigation, aroma settings and stored favourites. It also suits buyers who like the idea of remote operation and expanded drink options through Home Connect.

You may want to skip it if you’re after something straightforward and you won’t touch app control, Cold Brew/Slow Brew or saved profiles. In that case, a simpler machine could fit better.

The Siemens EQ700 TP715GB1 isn’t just about making coffee—it’s about making your coffee routine smoother, with fewer manual steps and more “pick, personalise, enjoy” behaviour.
