This document describes a Siemens fully automatic espresso machine, model EQ900, TQ903, TQ905, TQ907. It covers its functions, technical specifications, usage, and maintenance.

Function Description

The Siemens fully automatic espresso machine is designed for preparing hot beverages, specifically coffee drinks with or without milk. It features a touch display and touch fields for intuitive control and information display. The machine offers various modes, including "Classic" for standard beverages, "Profiles" for saved personal settings, and "coffeeWorld" for basic beverages that can be expanded with Home Connect.

Key functions include:

Beverage Dispensing: Prepare a variety of coffee drinks, including those with milk, with adjustable parameters such as strength, quantity, milk ratio, grinding level, contact time, and temperature.
doubleShot and tripleShot: Grind coffee beans two or three times to extract optimal aromas and reduce bitter substances, depending on the selected beverage, strength, and size.
baristaMode and comfortMode: Choose between two operating modes. "baristaMode" offers more extensive setting options for individual beverages, such as contact time, allowing for greater customization.
Two-Cup Dispensing: Prepare two cups of certain beverages simultaneously, though this function is not available when "doubleShot" or "tripleShot" is active.
Favourite Beverage Saving: Save frequently prepared beverages with personalized settings for quick access.
Electronic Grinding Level Adjustment (eGrinder): Customize the grinding level of coffee beans in "baristaMode." For models with two bean containers, the grinding level can be set separately for each. "aromaBoost" function in "comfortMode" provides a slightly finer grind for smaller beverages like espresso.
beanIdent System: Adjust the appliance settings to match the specific type of coffee bean being used.
Childproof Lock: Activate or deactivate a childproof lock to prevent accidental operation and protect children from scalding and burns.
Cup Heater: Preheat cups for optimal beverage enjoyment. This feature can be activated or deactivated in the basic settings.
Personalization: Create and manage user profiles, each containing preferred beverages with individual settings. Users can add, edit, delete, and sort profiles and beverages within them. Beverages from "Classic" or "coffeeWorld" menus can be added to profiles.
Home Connect: The appliance is network-capable, allowing control via the Home Connect app on a mobile device. This enables remote operation, adjustment of basic settings, and monitoring of the appliance's operating status. Home Connect services vary by country.
Service Programmes: Guided programmes for inserting/removing water filters, cleaning, descaling, and frost protection. The appliance indicates when a service programme is due.
