The Siemens EQ.700 Integral TQ705R03 automatic coffee maker with grinder is the main competitor of the Delonghi PrimaDonna Soul. Both want to introduce their happy owners to coffee in a little more depth.
You have to be really fussy to find faults in the automatic machine with Siemens EQ.700 Integral grinder. But no one is perfect and we would have liked to be able to choose the temperature of the drink as easily as we adjust the quantity delivered or the intensity. We may also regret not being alerted when the grain bin is empty. But these are only peccadilloes in the face of a very fast machine, extremely simple to use and which also allows you to discover exotic caffeinated specialties. Siemens has achieved a masterstroke here and the EQ.700 is a success… Integral.

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
With its PrimaDonna Soul and its “Bean Adapt” function, Delonghi supports the user in preparing their coffee so that they get the most out of their bean. This barista assistant optimizes preparation settings and relieves the user of this heavy responsibility. Delonghi has created a new elitist robot grinder with which we have little to complain about.
