Siemens Home Appliances EQ700 classic vs WMF Perfection 780
Technical comparison · Bean-to-cup machines
Choosing between these two similarly positioned bean-to-cup machines comes down mostly to the milk system: the EQ700 classic draws milk straight from its container through an automatic tube, the Perfection 780 draws it from a dedicated carafe. That's the difference that changes daily cappuccino routine the most.

The differences that matter
- Pre-ground bypass: only on the Perfection 780 → only this one accepts already-ground coffee without going through the built-in grinder.
- Milk system: automatic tube on the EQ700 classic, drawing milk straight from its container, versus a dedicated carafe on the Perfection 780 → the EQ700 classic skips decanting milk before each drink.
- Preset drinks: 35 on the EQ700 classic versus 18 on the Perfection 780 → the EQ700 classic offers nearly twice the preset recipes.
Which one to choose
Choose EQ700 classic if…
Choose the EQ700 classic if you want to connect the milk tube straight to the container in the fridge, with no decanting into a separate carafe, and if you brew a lot of different recipes: the menu has 35 presets. The trade-off is no bypass funnel for pre-ground coffee: every cup goes through the built-in ceramic-burr grinder.
Choose Perfection 780 if…
Choose the Perfection 780 if you also want to brew pre-ground coffee — a decaf in the evening, say — thanks to its bypass funnel. In exchange, milk is poured into a dedicated carafe instead of being drawn straight from its container, and presets drop to 18 instead of 35.
