At a glance

The Siemens EQ300 (TF301G19) is a compact, entry-level bean-to-cup machine with a ceramic grinder, 15-bar pump, 1.4-litre tank, manual milk frother arm and a removable brewing unit. Owners consistently find it simple to use and easy to clean, say the coffee tastes good, and like that the narrow body suits small kitchens. Against it: no app, cup heater or double-cup function, a noisy grinder, frequent rinse and descale cycles, and milk drinks some find not hot enough. The most common complaint is the frother failing, with some grinder or brew unit faults after one to two years; no independent lab test was found, so durability rests on owner reports. Best for first-time buyers who mainly drink espresso or black coffee; heavy milk-drink users may prefer a higher-end model.

Things to consider

The milk frother arm is the most commonly reported failure point; some owners also report grinder or brew unit faults within 1-2 years

Milk drinks can come out not hot enough, and there is no cup heater

Good to know

What the features mean in everyday use.

Core hardware

Go to the original reviews

UK owners mostly praise the EQ300 as a simple, compact first bean-to-cup machine. It is easy to set up and run, quick to clean, and makes good espresso with decent crema. The main complaints are about reliability: the milk frother arm stopping working, sometimes within weeks, and occasional grinder, drive unit or brew unit failures after one to two years. Repeated complaints also cover noise from the grinder and rinse cycles, milk drinks not being hot enough, frequent rinsing and descaling, water collecting in the internal tray and a thin instruction manual. Buyers who value simplicity are generally satisfied; those expecting long-term durability or hot, café-style milk drinks are more critical.

P*** 1/5 2 October 2026 John Lewis Brand-syndicated review shown on John Lewis

Had this for 2 years. First the frother stopped working after 5 months. Then the drive unit went after 12 months. Now the grinder has gonecafter 2 years. Outside of warranty. Siemens want 100 +vat to repair. Avoid.
d*** 1/5 22 October 2026 Amazon Colour: Eq300 Black & Silver

Broke within less than a year. Warranty repair communication non-existent and trying to contact Amazon to discuss is near impossible. Strongly recommend you steer clear of this unit.
T*** C*** 3/5 1 September 2026 AO

Seems to be ok. Easy to set up and to use . Not massive and not too heavy but feels a bit cheap. Could argue that drink may be a bit not hot enough . And unfortunately lot of water is collecting in a tray which I’m not sure if it should be like this. But overall ok for my demands
A*** 5/5 6 June 2026 John Lewis

This machine is super, makes excellent, tasty coffee as we use beans. You can alter the strength of the coffee with a button. Also, it is easy to clean, not too big (we have a small kitchen) and looks smart.
Customer 3/5 1 April 2026 John Lewis Syndicated review; also appears in the Currys feed

Tray Constantly Fills with Water internally. A bit of a pain. Coffee is good though.
C*** R*** 5/5 2 March 2026 Currys

Very easy to operate. Good size for my kitchen
Customer 3/5 5 December 2025 John Lewis Syndicated review

Really easy to use, cleaning and descaling is a bit of a faff and seems to come round too quickly. The milk frother has stopped working really quickly.
J*** 4/5 26 November 2025 John Lewis

It makes fresh coffee, 5 different types, the cafe crema being my favourite. Easy to clean just open door and remove coffee and clean drip tray. There's a calc n clean function but not used it yet…
W*** 5/5 12 November 2025 Currys

Compact and functional. Easy user programs and settings. Quality product
J*** B*** 5/5 22 September 2025 Currys AO review shown in the Currys feed

We had the older version of this but it died. This is much better as it’s sleeker looking and quieter. The milk frother is easy to clean and is excellent at frothing. Would highly recommend
R*** 5/5 19 August 2025 Amazon Colour: Eq300 Black & Silver

Easy to use and perfect results.
F*** I*** 4/5 8 May 2025 Currys AO review shown in the Currys feed

Makes excellent coffee and is quite straight forward to use. It loses one star for being very noisy throughout the coffee cycle and rinsing.
S*** 2/5 23 April 2025 John Lewis Compares with the previous generation

Bought the predecessor to this in 2020 and it served us well with tasty coffees over the last 5 years. However there's a complex, removable brewing unit inside and after a while it cracks and tears itself apart inside the machine while making a coffee…
C*** R*** 1/5 29 December 2024 Currys

I have had this machine for a little over than a year. Already not frothing the milk up hot coffee comes out cold occasionally cleaned it several times the light is constantly flashing it needs cleaning
S*** 2/5 21 November 2024 Currys

Too noisy and every times the water comes from start and finishes.
M*** 5/5 2 November 2024 John Lewis

We did a lot of research before buying this and we have not been disappointed (3 weeks in). GREAT tasting coffee, easy to use, easy to clean milk nozzle.. at very reasonable price…
I*** 5/5 26 August 2024 John Lewis

This was a replacement for a Miele bean to cup machine that finally gave up after 10 years and 20000 coffees. I was a bit wary given the price of this one - there must be something materially different between a Siemens for under £400 and a Siemens for over £1000. So far I cannot fault it and the coffee tastes a lot better…
A*** 5/5 13 February 2024 Amazon Colour: Eq300 Black & Silver

I did encounter an issue with the magnet on the frother breaking initially. Fortunately, Siemens' customer service promptly resolved the issue, providing me with a replacement frother. Since then, I've had no further problems, and the machine has performed flawlessly.
F*** 3/5 13 January 2024 John Lewis

I am writing this with mixed reviews. The espresso tastes great . However, I'm not impressed with the cappuccino as it's not hot enough if you get the milk out of the fridge and you have the wrong cup . Quite disappointed with this coffee machine ti be honest for the price .
A*** 1/5 20 December 2023 Currys

Ended up buying 2 machines and returned both. On each machine, the funnel that the ground beans goes down got blocked. Changed settings to a finer grind and changed beans as well, all to no avail. The problem kept happening. You had to removed the internal piece and clean after every use…
