The Siemens EQ.9 Plus s700 is built for households that actually use variety. Two separate bean hoppers with two independent ceramic grinders mean you can switch from a chocolatey blend to a lighter roast without cross-contamination. BaristaMode opens up deeper control for strength, water volume, brewing temperature, coffee-to-milk ratio, and even brew speed, so you can pin a house style and repeat it.

OneTouch DoubleCup handles two cappuccinos at once and the autoMilk Clean steam purge runs after every milk drink, which is why the machine still foams consistently in month nine.

Home Connect brings coffeeWorld extras and a coffeePlaylist to queue drinks when guests show up. The removable brew unit, fully automatic cleaning and descaling programs, and a real cup heater complete the ownership picture.

If you want dual beans, low-drama milk hygiene, and app extras without turning your kitchen into a workshop, the s700 earns its space.

Build

This is Siemens’ quiet platform. The s700 carries the superSilent designation and a ceramic grinder set marketed as silent ceramDrive. In practice the grind cycle is short and lower in pitch than many competitors, which matters when you brew before sunrise. The cabinet is tight, the door for the milk container closes cleanly, and the spout carriage feels stable at taller heights.

DualBean is the headliner because it is not just a split lid. You get two physically separate bean containers, each feeding its own grinder, so there is no mixing of beans and no purge waste when you switch from regular to decaf or from espresso blend to a gentler roast for long coffees. The spec sheet confirms capacities of 270 g and 250 g across the two bins, which is generous for a kitchen machine and pairs sensibly with a 2.3 L tank.

The brew unit is removable. Pop the side door, slide it out, rinse under warm water, air-dry, and reinstall. That ability keeps flavor on track over the long haul because oils do not build up unseen. Siemens includes a complete cleaning stack and lists compatible tablets and filters by part number on the spec sheet.

The cup platform includes an active cup warmer you can switch on and off. Cup pre-heat is a small detail that protects crema and perceived sweetness. You also get an integrated milk container that tucks into the fridge door when not in use, or you can fit an adapter and draw milk straight from a carton. It is a neat solution for households that rotate dairy and plant milks.

Physically the s700 sits at 392 mm tall, 299 mm wide, and 470 mm deep with a listed weight around 12.7 kg. It will clear most wall cabinets and slides forward easily for refilling and cleaning. The spout height range accommodates tall latte glasses in the 14 to 15 cm band, which matches retailer and manual references.

Workflow

The daily cadence

Power on triggers a short rinse. Place cups and the TFT presents your favorites, profiles, and the drink grid. The machine remembers the last bean container used per drink, which keeps intent aligned with results when you bounce between recipes. If two people need coffee, tap DoubleCup and the s700 grinds twice so both cups get full extractions. 

Two beans used on purpose

Treat the two hoppers as a core feature, not a novelty. Load a darker blend in the 270 g bin and a medium roast in the 250 g bin. Map espresso-forward drinks to the dark side and long coffees to the medium side. Because each bin has its own grinder, you are not purging or blending by accident. The machine stores the bean choice per drink so your latte is not suddenly decaf. 

BaristaMode when you want to steer

Standard mode gets you there fast. Switch to baristaMode when you want more control. Siemens documents five parameters that matter: coffee strength, water quantity, brew temperature, coffee-to-milk ratio and brewing speed. Brewing speed is useful for adjusting contact time without walking grind all over the map. The deeper control lives one layer down so you do not force beginners into it. 

The app is practical

Home Connect is more than a remote start button. CoffeeWorld adds international recipes beyond the on-board 13, coffeePlaylist lets you queue several drinks and the machine runs them in order, and the app surfaces a digital manual and maintenance prompts with timers. When the cleaning cycle requires an action, the app reminds you at the right moment instead of shouting at brew time.

Two at once and a pot when you need it

OneTouch DoubleCup works across milk drinks and black coffee. For brunches, the coffee pot function outputs multiple cups of café crema back-to-back at the touch of a button, which is a better answer than stretching espresso into bitterness.

Espresso performance

What to expect in the cup

This is a compact super-automatic brew chamber, so you get tidy, balanced espresso rather than heavy ristretto syrup. Siemens’ iAroma System and sensoFlow hold brew temperature in the ideal range and aromaDouble Shot uses two grinds with reduced water per extraction to raise intensity without pushing a single shot too long. That logic preserves sweetness in milk drinks and keeps straight espresso clean. 

Dialing a new coffee

Start with baristaMode off. Choose a medium temperature, mid-fine grind, and a strength in the middle of the Siemens steps. Pull a 30 to 40 g espresso and taste. If it is thin or sharp, first raise strength, then nudge grind one click finer, and only after that adjust brew temperature. If you are chasing more presence in a 12 oz latte, turn on aromaDouble Shot rather than dragging a single extraction. The machine is built to do that cleanly.

Two grinders used well

The value of two grinders shows up during back-to-back shots. You can keep the grinder collar for your espresso blend set a touch finer and the gentler roast a touch coarser for café crema without re-indexing between drinks. Because each grinder has its own collar, settings stay put. Siemens’ materials confirm the dual grinder construction and ceramic set.

Temperature discipline

Siemens advertises a brew temperature window targeted by the sensoFlow system. That is the right choice in a small brew group where fluctuating heat ruins repeatability. Keep temperature in the middle unless you are on a very dark roast, where one step cooler will help preserve sweetness. 

Milk steaming and texture

Consistency on autopilot

The integrated milk circuit produces fine, stable foam for cappuccino and a denser texture for flat white. More important, the machine cleans itself after each milk drink with a steam blast through the milk path. That single feature is why foam quality does not nose-dive over months of use. It is automatic, short, and runs every time, so owners actually maintain the milk system without thinking about it. 

Container options

Use the integrated container for daily dairy and store it in the fridge between sessions. If you run barista oat or alternate plant milks, clip on the milk-carton adapter and draw directly from the carton for that round. All milk nozzle parts are removable and dishwasher safe, so weekly deep cleaning is painless.

Two milk drinks without dance moves

DoubleCup applies to milk beverages. That means two cappuccinos or two flat whites without moving cups mid-pour. It saves real time in homes where everyone leaves at once. 

Maintenance

What the machine does for you

Auto routines carry the load. The s700 runs a quick rinse on power-up and shutdown. autoMilk Clean sends steam through the milk system after every milk drink. The machine tracks usage and shows remaining cups before descaling or cleaning, then runs fully automatic descaling and cleaning programs when prompted. This is the difference between a machine that tastes right in month twelve and one that drifts. 

What you still do

Empty the tray and grounds bin, refill the tank, and top up beans. Pull the brew unit weekly, rinse, air-dry, and reinstall. Siemens lists compatible cleaning tablets, descalers, and filters by part number so you can stock what you need. If you alternate milks, break down the nozzle pieces weekly and run them through the dishwasher. The integrated milk container is also dishwasher safe.

Noise, power, and fit

The superSilent spec and ceramic grinder make the grind cycle brief and quieter than average. The platform is 1500 W with a 1 m cord, so plan your placement accordingly. The active cup warmer can be switched off if the counter runs hot.

Competitive comparisons

Jura Z10

Jura’s Z10 brings a premium UI and true cold extraction recipes. Foam quality is excellent and the app polish is strong. Jura’s brew group is sealed and relies on detergent cycles rather than a removable group. The Z10 runs a single bean hopper. If you value iced programs and a sealed-group ownership model, the Jura is compelling. If your kitchen needs two beans on tap with two grinders and automatic milk purges after every drink, the Siemens answers better. 

Miele CM7750 CoffeeSelect

Miele CM7750 CoffeeSelect counters with three independent bean chambers and a cartridge-based AutoDescale system. Its CupSensor auto-positions the spouts and it can brew coffee and tea pots. Milk cleaning is guided and fast, but it is not a steam purge after every drink by default. Choose Miele if three beans and automatic descaling matter more than app extras. Choose Siemens if you want dual grinders, one-touch milk hygiene, and coffeeWorld recipes queued from a phone.

De’Longhi Eletta Explore

De’Longhi Eletta Explore leans into cold foam and fast cold-extraction programs, plus a practical To-Go mode for travel mugs. It uses one hopper and one grinder. If your family lives on iced lattes most of the year, De’Longhi’s cold suite is a clear win. If you want two beans and deeper brew control via baristaMode with automatic milk purges built in, the s700 is the more technical platform.

Siemens EQ.900

The EQ.900 is the company’s newer flagship with a larger interface and additional control depth. If you want even more front-panel control and newer UX, the EQ.900 is worth a look. The s700 remains the sweet spot for value if dual grinders, baristaMode, and autoMilk Clean are your top priorities. 

Pricing and variants by region

United Kingdom
The TI9573X9GB has been listed by major UK retailers with regular promotions. Expect pricing to vary widely based on stock cycles. Siemens’ own GB page links to dealers and confirms the exact spec set for the UK model, including dualBean, baristaMode, autoMilk Clean, Home Connect, and 10 user profiles. 

European Union
Common SKUs include TI9573X9RW, TI9575X1DE and TI9578X1DE. Specs are consistent where “s700” and “connect” appear in the name, but always verify the accessory bundle and finish. Regional sheets confirm two bean bins totaling about 520 g, 2.3 L tank, 19-bar labeled pump, superSilent and the active cup warmer.

North America
Availability is sporadic through specialty importers rather than broad retail. If you plan to import, verify voltage, warranty coverage, and parts supply. Siemens lists the cleaning and filter part numbers on the GB spec sheet so you can source consumables regardless of region.

Real-time prices swing with promotions. Use local dealer listings or price engines to confirm current street numbers and to check whether the box includes the milk container and the BRITA Intenza filter.

Maintenance and reliability

The s700’s maintenance story is honest. Rinses run at power-up and shutdown. A steam purge runs after every milk drink. The machine tracks how many cups remain before descale or clean and offers fully automatic programs when you reach that threshold. You still need to rinse the brew unit and empty the bins, but the heavy lifting is handled. Siemens documents all of this in the spec sheet and the EQ.9 overview, including the dishwasher-safe parts and the calc’nClean program. 

Consumables are straightforward. Keep descaling tablets, cleaning tablets, and a BRITA Intenza filter on hand. Part numbers are listed in Siemens’ documentation. The removable brew unit means you can keep the core mechanism clean without a service call, which is not true of every premium brand.

Why these numbers: dual grinders with isolated hoppers, a steam purge after every milk drink, and useful baristaMode controls turn into better cups with less effort. Espresso is very good for a super-automatic, long coffees are excellent, and the app features are practical rather than showy. 

Who it is for

• Homes that will actually use two beans and want those beans isolated by hardware
  
• Families who want two cappuccinos at once and reliable foam without cleaning chores
  
• Owners who value a removable brew unit and guided maintenance with clear counters
  
• App-friendly users who will use coffeeWorld and coffeePlaylist for variety and hosting
  

Trade-offs to expect

1. Macro grind steps. You have multilevel grinder adjustment on two collars, but it is not micrometric like a dedicated manual grinder. Very light roasts at ultra short ratios will be happier on a prosumer setup.
   
2. Footprint. At 392 × 299 × 470 mm it is not small. Measure depth under wall cabinets and remember the 1 m cord when choosing an outlet.
   
3. Price and regional spread. s700 pricing swings with promos and availability varies by region. Confirm the exact SKU and bundle before you buy.
   
4. No built-in cold extraction. If you want fast cold brew or dedicated cold foam from the machine itself, look to cold-focused competitors.
   

Final verdict

Siemens built the EQ.9 Plus s700 for people who drink different coffees rather than one blend forever. Two real grinders and two real hoppers, baristaMode that exposes the right variables, and a steam purge after every milk drink add up to a platform that holds its performance with minimal effort. The brew unit comes out for a sink rinse. The app adds international recipes and a drink queue that makes hosting painless. The cup warmer and pot function are simple but meaningful quality-of-life wins.

If you want a premium super-automatic that is quiet, flexible, and honest about maintenance, the s700 belongs on your shortlist. Jura Z10 will tempt you if iced programs are your top priority and Miele CM7750 will tempt you if you need three beans and automated descaling, but for dual-bean households that want repeatable hot drinks with minimal fuss, Siemens’ EQ.9 Plus s700 nails the brief. 

TL;DR

A quiet, dual-grinder super-automatic with autoMilk Clean after every milk drink, deep baristaMode controls, and a practical app that adds recipes and a drink queue. Two cappuccinos at once are easy. The brew unit is removable, the cup heater is real, and cleaning is guided and automatic. If you want two beans on tap and low-friction ownership, this is the Siemens to buy.
