Siemens Adds EQ500 and EQ600 iAroma to Coffee Machine Lineup

Siemens has added two fully automatic coffee machines to its iAroma range, the entry-tier EQ500 and the mid-tier EQ600, both on sale since July 2026 and formally announced on 2 September 2026 to coincide with the IFA trade show. CHA’s own catalog lists the EQ500 iAroma TP551E07 at EUR 599 and the EQ600 iAroma TP601E09 at EUR 799.

Siemens’s press portal published five iAroma releases dated 2 September 2026, covering the EQ500, EQ600, EQ700, EQ900 and EQ900 plus. Checking the release text against Siemens’s earlier announcements shows the EQ700 and EQ900 releases repeat, word for word, material the company first published in March 2026. Only the EQ500 and EQ600 have no earlier release on record, so they are the genuinely new additions to the lineup this month. The EQ700 and EQ900 plus remain in the range as the higher-tier models Siemens updated back in March.

What does the EQ500 iAroma add?

The EQ500 sits at the entry point of the range and is built around fewer taps rather than more features. Siemens says its new quickCup function combines switching the machine on, selecting a drink and starting the brew into a single press-and-hold action, and a new doubleCup function brews a double portion of a drink in one cycle. A coffeeSelect display gives quick access to the most popular specialities and core functions. On many models, Siemens says drinkers can choose among three aromaSelect flavour profiles, mild, balanced or bold, or adjust the ratio of coffee to milk, while strength and cup size stay adjustable on every model. Up to five user profiles can store individual preferences on many versions. The catalog listing for the Siemens EQ500 iAroma TP551E07 shows a 1500W pump rated at 15 bar, a 1.8-litre water tank, a 300-gram bean hopper, a steam-wand milk system and six programmable drinks.

What does the EQ600 iAroma add over the EQ500?

The EQ600 is the step up, built around choice rather than speed. Siemens says the coffeeSelect display grows into a 3.7-inch touchscreen, with up to 25 drink specialities available directly on the machine, spanning classics and the company’s coffeeWorld international specialities, and more than 40 accessible through the Siemens Home Appliances app. The drip tray is height-adjustable to fit cups or mugs up to 16 centimetres tall, including Siemens’s optional 480ml to-go cup, and the company says six XL drink options are designed to brew straight into that cup. The same aromaSelect flavour customisation from the EQ500 carries over. CHA’s catalog entry for the Siemens EQ600 iAroma TP601E09 records a 1500W pump at 15 bar, a 1.8-litre tank, a 300-gram bean hopper, a steam-wand milk system and 22 programmable drinks, a figure close to but not identical to the on-device count Siemens quotes in its press material.

What should a shopper take away?

The two models split cleanly on what a buyer is optimising for. The EQ500 at EUR 599 is the simpler machine: fewer physical steps to a cup, via quickCup and doubleCup, and a smaller onboard menu. The EQ600 at EUR 799 asks for EUR 200 more and gives back a touchscreen, roughly triple the on-device drink variety, and a drip tray built around taller cups and a to-go format, useful for a household that actually carries coffee out the door. Neither machine is a flagship: Siemens’s EQ700 and EQ900/EQ900 plus remain above both in the current coffee machines lineup, unchanged since their own update in March 2026. For most single-household buyers deciding between the two new models, the question is whether drink variety and a to-go workflow are worth the extra EUR 200 over quickCup’s one-press simplicity.
