Bart Stays In: all coffee drinkers in the country: this is how you make the best coffee at home!
A cup of coffee for Bart? Bart Stays Inside? Those two combined and still a good story? Of course! We start the day here with Barts Bakkie, even (or better: especially) if we stay indoors. And then only after that go go go. Cookie? Add coffee. Finished lunch? Go ahead, double espresso in. And so we have those coffee moments throughout the day. Recognizable? You should definitely read further...
Because really, people: at Barts Boekje we are (really) not baristas. We're not even close. But we do want a really good bowl, even when we are at home. In comes the Siemens EQ.9 Plus, a fully automatic espresso machine that is unprecedented (really). After a (hellish) search, it turned out to be the very best of its kind. Are you reading along? Because with this (good looking!) fully automatic espresso machine, Bart's bakkies are top-notch these days barista-proof. The tastiest coffees, with and without milk. Just get the right coffee beans and you are good to go.
At first it was always just a cup of coffee, black. Nothing crazy because my oh my all that effort for some warm milk… Phew. You know, with one of those supposedly handy frothers (read: everything below). Milk boiled over, just not warm at all, or just such a thin, weak bite. No. Then leave it. To Siemens we stayed inside, got fed up, did some research and 'our' new Siemens EQ.9 Plus came out on top in the test. Truly an espresso machine that you can admire.
Why? Well, it has 10 user profiles in which you save your personal preferences per coffee specialty – talking about 'fully automatic'. So you choose your own strength, quantity and temperature, to name just a few options (there are many more). Even the amount that goes into your cup (I hate Hague cups in ours oversized favorite mug). Top! This way your cup really is your favorite cup. Triple shot extra strong with milk, caffè latte, flat white... Everything is possible and you don't have to set it again every time: the espresso machine remembers your favorite setting. And also that of nine other housemates. Ha!
Oh, and those hot cups like you always get in the café? He does that too. There is a warming plate on it. The dream.
The espresso machine is also practical: you simply make two cups of coffee at the same time. Family over, no problem with Siemens EQ.9 Plus: indoors no time the whole family is provided with a good cup of coffee. Prefer tea? Of course, it also has a hot water function.
O! And do you know this frustration? The kids rushed to school, put on your work outfit and quickly grab that much-needed coffee. And then… Water finished, bean container empty. That is a thing of the past with Siemens. You will receive a notification well in advance so that you can refill the water and beans on time. The automatic cleaning function also rinses the milk system clean after each preparation. Does it never end? Nope: the milk reservoir, drip tray and coffee grounds container are dishwasher safe. No more hand washing dishes and cleaning awkward corners. You understand: the Siemens EQ.9 Plus is our new best friend.
Does the machine make a lot of noise? Neither. We were quite afraid of that because they are big boys top notch espresso machines. But no, this Siemens friend is simply quiet and even tested as the quietest fully automatic espresso machine. Just put that in your pocket.
And: we don't just think the quality of coffee is important, we also consider looks to be important. Because well, we just love beautiful things, just take a look Bart Bouwt. You can actually call the Siemens EQ.9 Plus just a gadget. Idiot proof with barista-style coffees, wildly attractive in a somewhat cool kitchen. In short: a tasty, easy and delicious cup of coffee, with greetings from Siemens and Bart.
