Rank #6 in Best Bean to Cup Coffee Machines 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Spec Sheets That Do Not Add Up
Siemens EQ500 Bean to Cup Coffee Machine TQ513GB1
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
At number six in this guide, the SIEMENS EQ500 TQ513GB1 is a fully automatic bean-to-cup machine priced at £349.00 and rated 4.2 out of 5 from 251 ratings. The figure that matters most in this category is on its spec sheet: 1500 watts. That is the sort of draw you would expect from a machine that heats water and drives a pump, and it is the reason the 50 W and 230 W listings elsewhere in this guide stand out as wrong. On that number, the EQ500 holds up.
Two others in the same listing do not agree with each other. A bullet point advertises a CoffeeSelect panel with 10 programmes; the special features field says 9 drink programmes and milk foam. The filter type is listed as Brita, but the included components are the machine, a manual, a milk container, a welcome box and a test strip — no filter, which is what one of the four reviews notes. The 4.2 average is hiding something too: 69 of the 251 ratings are five-star and 15 are one-star, more one-star ratings than two-star and three-star combined. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from testing by us.
