Bosch TPU60309 800 Series VeroCafe Fully Automatic Espresso Machine with Home Connect, 35 Coffee Varieties with Coffee World, Double Cup, in Black

5.0 out of 5 stars Bosch 800 vs Jura Z8 – So far, LOVE this Bosch We’re a family of coffee lovers that have been using higher end Jura espresso machines for over 15 years but after the last Jura Z8 stopped working at 3 years and they wanted over $500 to fix it, we decided to try this less expensive 800 series with some cooler features from Bosch, an established brand name. I also want to say I have not been paid or given a free machine to review and here’s our opinion after we’ve used for only a week . We’ll need to see how it holds up over time so I’ll update in 6 months.

PRO’s vs JURA – There are MANY!

– GREAT PRICE: Bought on prime day for $1299 which is almost 1/3 the price of a high-end Jura.
– BETTER TASTING COFFEE USING LESS BEANS: Coffee is a lot stronger and better tasting than our Z8; not sure how they do this! So far, we’re also using less beans. I think they do this double brewing which must save beans but doesn’t degrade the taste at all.
– NICE BIG BRIGHT DIGITAL SCREEN: No comparison to the Jura (although I know Jura is starting to go with better screens on expensive higher end models). LOVE the digital Bosch screen and how you can easily personalize your favorites. One of my favorite features was reading what each type of international coffee was and seeing where they came from then trying them out. As an example, the Americano is nothing we’ve tasted before. The darker coffee-infused foam is so cool and very, very tasty! I used to always have to use sweeteners but finding that the taste of the coffee drink alone is good enough. I also love how they have cold brew options.
– AVAILABLE APP: We’re a techie family, and to be honest, love anything with connectability. We haven’t tried a remote coffee yet, since we typically use milk, but like the option. The APP also has other yummy drinks. We can’t wait to try the espresso martini. Still diving into what else the app offers but the cool thing is, updates could bring newer options and drinks. I’m sure Jura will get this soon if they don’t already have it, but probably on more expensive models.
– NICE MILK TUBE: Having a place to hold your milk inlet tube on the machine is a nice touch (not on Jura). We decided not to get the model with the attached milk container since we are a family that uses different milk types: 1% milk, soy and almond, so didn’t make sense.
– MECHANISM’S EASY ACCESSIBILITY: Love the ability to pull out the inside mechanisms for cleaning if needed. On Jura, it is very difficult to clean the inside. You can’t even see the tampering piece which is one of the most important parts of the machine and what we think got clogged on our last jura.
– GOOD SIZE: Same exact size as our Jura Z8 so fits perfectly in the space.
– WARMING TRAY: Love the option (not on Jura), but not sure it keeps it that warm. We’ll need to try this out more.
– ADJUSTABLE SPOUT FOR TALLER GLASSES: Even though it states only 5-1/2 “ of space, fits tall glasses a little over 6”. This is about the same as Jura, so happy it was more than we expected.
– A LOT OF SPACE IN WATER RESERVOIR: Same as Jura so that was nice.

CON’s vs JURA – Keeping in mind that many are due to the lower price point and not enough of a con to lower my star rating.

– BOSCH IS NEW TO THIS MARKET: Although Bosch is a trusted brand name, they appear to be new in the high-end espresso machine market so only time will. Jura’s customer service is excellent, so we’ll have to see if Bosch’s is as well.
– INTERNAL & EXTERNAL PARTS ARE NOT AS HIGH END: Outside softer plastic covering could scratch easily. Bosch has softer plastics vs heavier plastic/metal pieces but that’s expected with such a big price difference. Time will tell if they hold up and how they look later.
– WARRANTY NOT AS GOOD: Jura is 2 years vs Bosch’s 1 year.
– SOME FEATURES NOT AUTOMATED: The hand selecting grind on top and having to submerse the filter yourself to get water inside before placement are not automated, but this is not that big of a deal since it’s a lesser price but wanted to mention it.
– PULL OUT WASTEWATER TRAY IS SMALLER: Need to empty more often which is slightly annoying. However, it is nice that the bean tray doesn’t sit right on top of the water tray like Jura. That created issues on our Jura.
– MILK ATTACHMENT KNOB MAY BE TOO FLIMSY: The knob on the machine for the milk inlet tube placement seems a little flimsy. We remove the tube and put back 3-4x a day so worried it could fail, but again, we’ll see.
– BEAN CONTAINER A LITTLE AWKWARD AND SEEMS SMALLER: Even though the bean capacity stated larger than our Jura Z8, it seems smaller. Jura’s is much easier to fill without obstacles like a screen that comes all the way to the top like Bosch’s and odd small spaces on the side to fill, but we are working around that.
– NOT AS MANY SENSORS AS JURA: doesn’t have all the bells and whistles with sensors, like when tops are off of the bean tray, drip tray and water reservoir, but I’m OK with this especially with the lower price tag.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it Really enjoying this machine. Makes assortment of great coffee drinks quickly and easily. Great espresso, Americano, straight coffee drinks and the included hose froths mill for cappuccino, lattes etc. Even makes cold brew. Expensive but worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use and needs little attention This coffee maker does a great job. I don’t have to get coffee ready the night before to have a fresh cup in the morning. Cleaning is easy and very little time to maintain this great machine.
It rinses before it shuts down and when started up. Grind is perfect and the combinations of drink is just right.
Highly recommend this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Automatic Coffee Machine I was very close to returning this coffee maker because when I opened it, it looked like a huge piece of black plastic, we didn’t have any black color appliances. However, the coffee maker works extremely well, beyond my expectations and I am glad I kept it. My wife loves how easy it is to make cappuccinos and lattes. For us, it’s worth it because it is truly fully automated, with multiple options to customize each type of coffee. Best coffee maker ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars I’m in love and I don’t care who knows it! The media could not be loaded. Early returns in this product are epic. This machine has immaculate vibes. It is supremely easy to use this machine. The coffee it puts out is so well balanced I don’t even use sweetener anymore. It goes through a rinse cycle after each use, comes with descaling tablets too! I was so sick of drinking bitter coffee each morning and decided to invest in this. I did a lot of research into other units (Jura, Delonghi, etc) because once you decide to spend your hard earned money on this type of purchase you want to get it right. Happy to report I’m so happy with my decision. I also have other Bosch appliances and can say this manufacturer is world class, so that helped a lot in my final decision. The one con I have is the directions in the manual could have been better. I couldn’t get the drip tray out and pulled so hard I was scared I was breaking something. The manual was no help.

5.0 out of 5 stars Por donde empiezo? La verdad es que es mi primera cafetera superautomatica y tenia mucho miedo en comprar una cafetera tan cara y que fallara al poco tiempo y que cuando la recibiera no funcionara, busque en varias marcas como Philips 5500 y la De’ Longhi Magnifica las dos tenian muy buenas resenas pero tambien tenian algunas muy malas y decidi tomar el riesgo y gastar un poco mas por algo que se que no me va a descepcionar, el resultado despues de casi un mes de uso y varias tasas de cafe expresso, capuccinos y lattes es simplemente magnifico, el sabor de cada taza, la textura de la leche espumosa, lo facil que es limpiarla, todo pero todo es muy bueno, creo que no he buscado demaciado pero Bosch tiene una App para poder manejarla remotamente pero lo que no he encontrado es programar para que a una hora en especifico se encianda y haga una bebida en especifico, pero fuera de eso se puede personalizar todo, temperatura de las bebidas, aroma, cantidad, intensidad. siemplemente me encanta

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it Great prime day deal

4.0 out of 5 stars I feel spoiled I love drinking coffee in almost all different forms and recipes. I own a regular coffee pot, an espresso machine, a hybrid pot/single use machine and worn out several single use machines, however, I have also struggled with making my own drinks taste like what I would pay big money for at the coffee shops. This machine takes the guess work out and makes it easy to switch between the different beverages without having to keep track of multiple parts and pieces.

Set up was relatively quick. I love that they provide a test strip to test your water and that the included filter has settings that you can set based on the quality of your water. It does note that filtered water is best, but tap water is fine as long as you are willing to clean it more often. The filter was simple to put in once I read the directions to see the included plastic piece to assist in pushing it into place in the thin water tank (I honestly thought I had huge hands until I re-read the instructions). I was able to connect quickly to the wifi and connect it to the Home Connect App.

The App is fairly user friendly. If you own multiple smart Bosch appliances, then this could really be a time saver for you. I like that I can start my next cuppa from the couch, or from the car, bedroom, wherever and have my drink ready for me when I want it. I do not have the Milk jar, so I would only be able to do the basic coffee or espresso drinks without milk for that, but still a great option. You can also add the app to your smartwatch, which opens a whole new set of possibilities.

The touch screen is very good quality and responsive. The photos are clear and it makes it easy to customize your drink (strength, how much milk, etc). It comes preloaded with classic standard drinks and then the coffee world menu has several more options, some of which I have never heard of but I look forward to trying. My daughter is thrilled to be able to make her fancy coffee drinks as well, but what I love the most about this machine is that I am not measuring grounds, cleaning out filters and other daily maintenance.

I also really like that the dispenser can be moved up and down to accomodate different cup sizes. I wish it was just a little bit taller and could fit my travel mugs, but they do not fit, and the tray underneath cannot be left out to accomodate the travel mugs because the machine requires that it be attached.

This machine is VERY expensive, and even the taxes I will pay on it are more than what I would normally want to spend on a coffee maker, however, Bosch has a great reputation for appliances and I feel like this machine will pay for itself rather quickly between the amount of time I am not spending filling and programming coffee machines or cleaning the espresso machine and looking for the different size portafilters.

This machines pretty much does everything except serve it to you. The only downsides are that you cannot keep milk in it as there is no refrigeration, it is large and takes up a good amount of counterspace if you don’t have a dedicated coffee bar and you can’t fit a travel mug in it. Everything else is great!

5.0 out of 5 stars I love all the options I ordered this mostly to be able to make fancy hot chocolate but also impress my coffee-drinking friends. It’s a bit complicated to set up and you definitely want to make sure you have space for it. The milk you have to keep chilled or put away and take out every time you want milk, but I knew that when I ordered the device. Not too difficult to use, make sure you follow all instructions and clean it out thoroughly regularly. 5/5 would recommend if you’re looking for a fancy coffee maker with all the bells and whistles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Its Like I Have a Barista in My Kitchen Okay, so I’m not some fancy coffee snob, but I know a good cup when I taste it. This Bosch VeroCafe thing is seriously impressive. It’s like having a barista in my kitchen, but without the attitude.

First off, this thing is loaded with options. You can choose from like 35 different coffee drinks, and it’s super easy to make them just the way you like. Want a stronger shot? No problem. Prefer a bigger cup? It’s got you covered. And the whole thing can be controlled from this app on your phone, which is kinda cool.

Now, about the coffee itself… holy moly. It’s like a symphony in a cup, smooth and rich with just the right amount of crema on top. And the machine grinds the beans fresh every time, so you get that amazing aroma filling your kitchen. It’s pure bliss, I tell ya.

I was worried it might be a pain to clean, but it turns out it practically cleans itself. Seriously, you just pop out a few parts, rinse them off, and you’re done. It’s a lifesaver for someone like me who hates doing dishes.

Look, if you’re serious about your coffee and want something that’s easy to use but delivers top-notch results, this is the machine for you. It’s a bit pricey, but trust me, it’s worth every penny. I haven’t been to a coffee shop since I got this thing, and honestly, I don’t miss it one bit.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Is An Incredible Machine The Bosch TPU60501 800 Series VeroCafe Fully Automatic Espresso Machine is a game-changer for coffee lovers. Setting up the machine was a breeze, thanks to the clear instructions and intuitive design. The Home Connect feature allows me to control the machine from my phone, adding convenience to my morning routine. It offers an impressive variety of 36 coffee drinks, from espresso to lattes, ensuring there’s something for every coffee craving.

The machine’s sleek metallic silver design looks stylish in my kitchen, adding a touch of sophistication. The glass milk container is a great addition, making frothing easy and mess-free. The quality of the drinks is exceptional, with rich flavors and perfect textures. This machine has saved me countless trips to the coffee shop, saving both time and money. It’s an investment that pays off quickly, offering café-quality drinks at home. Highly recommend for anyone serious about their coffee.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best coffee maker I have ever owned I’ll admit this absurdly priced machine isn’t for everyone. However, if you can I would recommend this one. The ability to bring out rich bold flavors from regular coffee is where this machine stands out in the crowd of coffee makers that exist. I’m by no means an aficionado of caffeinated beverages, but I can say that I have experienced flavors I’ve never tasted before in my morning cup of coffee.

This machine does the thinking for me, and never fails to brew the finest cups of coffee without requiring me to any of the work once required of me by other makers. The setup process was a breeze and there isn’t much to the routine maintenance. This thing is like having my own barista ready and willing to deliver to me exactly what I want without the cost or time of going to one of the local coffee shops.

This really is a masterpiece of technology. I really can’t say enough good things.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing coffee every day! So I’ve been using this for a week and i still haven’t tried all the combinations available. You can connect this thing to wifi and get even more options. The coffees come out amazing and we are very happy. You can experiment with different coffee beans for a slightly different pallet adventure in your mouth!
