The production lights dimmed on a true BSH classic this week, as the final EQ.6 Fully Automatic Coffee Machine rolled off the line — closing a remarkable 12‑year chapter in the company’s coffee portfolio.

Launched in 2014, EQ.6 didn’t just meet expectations; it smashed them. Over its lifetime, the platform delivered 2.6 million units, becoming one of BSH’s most successful fully automatic coffee machines in both volume and quality performance. It set a benchmark many competitors spent years trying to catch.

The EQ.6 Legacy in Numbers
– 2.6 million units produced 
– 30,000 tons of combined product weight 
– 1,400 km if stacked vertically — higher than many mountain ranges 
– 50,000 production hours logged across its lifecycle 

But the real story isn’t just the metrics. It’s the people — the engineers, operators, planners, and quality teams whose daily commitment ensured EQ.6 consistently delivered the reliability and cup quality consumers came to trust.

A New Era Begins: Phoenix & BlackEye
As EQ.6 takes its final bow, BSH has already turned the page. Two next‑generation platforms — Phoenix and BlackEye — began production earlier this year (March and June respectively), bringing fresh design thinking, new technology, and renewed energy into the fully automatic coffee machine category.

These successors aren’t just replacements; they represent a strategic evolution in BSH’s coffee machine roadmap, designed to build on the EQ.6 legacy while pushing into new consumer expectations around smart features, consistency, and premium experience.

The end of one era marks the beginning of another — and if EQ.6 is anything to go by, the next chapter is already off to a strong start.
