Siemens EQ.500 classic or WMF Perfection 660?

What actually differs between the Siemens EQ.500 classic and the WMF Perfection 660, and what that means for who you are.

What differs

  • The EQ.500 classic is €573.99 cheaper.
  • Both are the same kind of machine, a bean-to-cup, so they work the same way.
  • Both have a built-in grinder, so you do not need to buy one.
  • Milk works the same on both: with a tube into a carton or container.
  • Cleaning the EQ.500 classic's milk system: an automatic steam clean after every milk drink, and the frother comes off for the dishwasher.
  • Cleaning the Perfection 660's milk system: the machine rinses after a milk drink; on top of that a cleaning programme with milk cleaner and the frother taken apart. How often differs by brand.
  • The Perfection 660 has 9 more recipes on the menu.
