The differences that matter
- Removable brew group only on the EQ500 iAroma → it comes out and rinses under running water, on top of the automatic cycle.
- User profiles: 2 on the Intuition Préférence+, 5 on the EQ500 iAroma → more people can save their own settings without overwriting each other's.
- Beverage programs: 15 on the Intuition Préférence+, 41 on the EQ500 iAroma → more ready-made recipes, fewer manual adjustments for each different coffee.
- Milk system: carafe on the Intuition Préférence+, automatic draw tube on the EQ500 iAroma → the carafe needs refilling and fridge storage, the tube draws straight from the milk container.
Which one to choose
Choose Intuition Préférence+ if…
Choose the Intuition Préférence+ if the machine mostly serves two people with similar tastes: a handful of saved profiles is enough to skip re-adjusting the recipe each morning, and milk is poured from a carafe you fill as needed and keep in the fridge. The brew group doesn't come out: daily cleaning stays with the automatic cycles and running the carafe through the dishwasher, with nothing to disassemble by hand.
Choose EQ500 iAroma if…
Choose the EQ500 iAroma if several people in the household use it with different preferences, since the extra profiles mean nobody has to reset the recipe when the next person steps up. Milk comes from a tube that draws straight from the container, skipping the carafe refill, but the brew group has to be pulled out and rinsed separately whenever you want to go beyond the automatic cycle.
