My family loves coffee. Truth be told, we love coffee more than we love some members of our family. So it felt like Christmas when I was asked to test out the Siemens EQ900 bean-to-cup coffee machine. We’d been promised an elevated brewing experience, aroma precision; barista-style coffee in our home! What our new arrival ultimately delivered went above and beyond such bold claims.
Undoubtedly the most impressive feature was the EQ900’s Home Connect app. We have a few smart devices in our home – our family likes to see ourselves as east London’s answer to The Jetsons. Adding the app to our smartphones, and later connecting Alexa, meant we could order our coffee from the comfort of our bed; the app shows your coffee settings and the drink’s progress. I’ll tell you, knowing there’s a freshly brewed barista-level coffee waiting for you in the kitchen is one hell of a motivation to get out of bed in the morning.
