Siemens TK54001GB

The Siemens TK54001GB Bean to Cup Coffee Machine is a coffee machine that sells in the mid-range price bracket, and is a relatively popular model compared to other kitchen appliances of this type.

The machine is the top selling mid-range coffee machine from Siemens – Europe’s largest engineering brand and a company that makes a vast range of kitchen appliances. The company date back more than 150 years, and is seen as one of the most respected in their field.

The TK54001GB Coffee Machine utilizes fresh coffee beans for every cup of coffee, grinding them in the attached grinder and producing delicious cups of coffee within seconds. The grinder has a storage capacity of 250g, enabling you to store and use the beans of your choice.

As well as this facility for storing fresh coffee beans, this Siemens model also has a separate container for pre-ground coffee granules, giving you a slightly cheaper option and providing an alternative for those that prefer the taste of pre-ground coffee.

The most frequent use for this bean to cup model is for making espressos, but – with the help of the detachable milk frothing nozzle – cappuccinos and lattes can also be made at the press of a single button. Ease of use is perhaps this machines top-scoring area, with most functions one-touch.

There are a number of user-adjustable features that allow you to personalise your cups of coffee to your ideal taste – something that is common with machines within this price range. Cup size, cup strength and the degree of grinding are just three of the features that can be stored within the machines memory for future use.

The Siemens TK54001GB Bean to Cup Coffee Machine also has various other features and options aimed at making coffee producing little bit more flexible. These include a cup warmer, a height adjustable drip tray for cafe latte glasses and a one-step descaling program ñ which makes for quick and easy cleaning.

Like many machines that are sold within this price bracket, the Siemens TK54001GB model can be slightly noisy when in operation, but, unless you spend at least £1,000 on a model, this is not something that can be easily eliminated.

Overall, the Siemens TK54001GB Bean to Cup Coffee Machine should make the shortlist of anyone shopping within this medium price bracket, and the small criticism about the noise does not detract from the overall value. Another very similar option within this price range is the De’Longhi Perfecta ESAM5400 Bean to Cup Espresso/Cappuccino Machine 15 Bar – your personal preference on the looks of each model, or a particularly good price on one of them may well be the deciding factor.
