Bosch TQU60307 800 Series VeroCafe Fully Automatic Espresso Machine with Home Connect, 36 Coffee Varieties with Coffee World, Double Cup, Integrated Milk Container, in Silver

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent cup of coffee Variety and consistency delivers a great beverage every time.

1.0 out of 5 stars Missing parts, poor support. Not ready for prime-time. I really wanted to like this machine, especially given all the other positive reviews. On arrival, the milk feeding tube adapter was missing. Called Bosch and they promised to research it and call me back when they found one, but never called back. Also, even on the “maximum” beverage temperature setting, drinks were never hot–even just hot water or espresso without milk. The app is terrible, and doesn’t work with Alexa as promised. Alexa can turn the machine on or off but ignores all other “supported” commands. Email to support for the app went unanswered.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Espresso Experience: Bosch TQU60703 800 Series VeroCafe Delivers Perfection! If you’re an espresso enthusiast or someone who simply appreciates a well-crafted cup of coffee, the Bosch TQU60703 800 Series VeroCafe Fully Automatic Espresso Machine is a game-changer. After using it for several weeks, I’m thoroughly impressed and can confidently say this machine deserves a full 5-star rating. Here’s why:

Design and Build Quality:
First off, the Bosch VeroCafe stands out with its sleek, stainless steel finish that not only looks modern and stylish but is also easy to clean. The build quality feels solid and durable, which reassures me that this machine is built to last. The attention to detail in the design is evident, from the elegant control panel to the ergonomic milk container.

Ease of Use:
One of the most remarkable features of this machine is its user-friendly interface. The Home Connect technology allows you to control and monitor the machine via a smartphone app, making it incredibly convenient to customize your coffee settings and even schedule brew times. The touch-screen display is intuitive, making it easy for anyone to navigate through the 36 coffee varieties and other options.

Versatility and Coffee Quality:
The VeroCafe doesn’t just make espresso; it offers an impressive range of 36 coffee varieties, including classics like cappuccinos and lattes, as well as specialty drinks. The Coffee World feature is a fantastic addition, allowing me to explore different coffee styles from around the globe. Each cup is brewed to perfection with a rich crema and robust flavor, thanks to the machine’s advanced brewing system.

Milk Frothing:
The integrated milk container is a standout feature. It creates creamy, frothy milk with just a touch of a button, and the results are consistently excellent. Whether you’re making a latte, cappuccino, or macchiato, the milk frother produces a perfect texture every time. The double cup function is also a major plus, allowing me to brew two drinks simultaneously—a real time-saver in a busy household.

Cup Warmer:
The built-in cup warmer is a thoughtful feature that enhances the overall coffee experience. Pre-warming the cups ensures that each drink maintains its ideal temperature from the first sip to the last. It’s a small touch that makes a big difference in the enjoyment of your coffee.

Maintenance and Cleaning:
Maintaining the VeroCafe is straightforward. The machine comes with a self-cleaning function that helps keep everything in top condition with minimal effort. The removable parts are easy to access and clean, which is a huge bonus for someone who values convenience.

Final Thoughts:
The Bosch TQU60703 800 Series VeroCafe Fully Automatic Espresso Machine has exceeded my expectations in every way. It combines cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features to deliver a top-notch coffee experience. Whether you’re a coffee aficionado or a casual drinker, this machine will elevate your coffee routine and bring a touch of luxury to your daily life. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality espresso machine that delivers perfection with every cup.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saves you money at the coffee shop I am a Cafe Mocha addict. I get a tall hot mocha in a grande cup with extra whip every single time. That being said, I have been on a quest to find the perfect espresso machine to give me the same coffee I get at the store, mainly because the store is getting entirely too expensive for as often as I go. This if my 4th try at finding that machine and my search is over.

Comes very well packed. The instructions are pretty clear. You have to disassemble some parts to wash before you start brewing, and that made me a little nervous because you have to literally disassemble the brewing head with no pictures on how to reassemble it. Luckily, this machine is made for dummies. Every fits and snaps so easily that you know you have it right, and there is really only one way to assemble it. Comes with separate instructions for prepping the water filter and getting the right setting for your water hardness. The filter is supposed to be changed every 2 months, but the maker is supposed to tell you that. It also tells you when to empty out the drip/coffee grind drawer.

After washing all the parts, it is a plug and play (or drink). Comes with all sorts of options on the drinks, and the specialty coffees actually tell you more of what they are (like what in the world is a redeye??). The milk container works great for the steaming and foaming of milk. So far my fave is the machiatto late, which I put chocolate syrup in the cup first, stir it up when it’s done, add some whipped cream, and it’s delish. You’ll want to try all the coffee options right away. it even makes just a plain old cup of coffee.

The best thing about this machine is that it cleans itself. It rinses when you turn it on and off. What I didn’t realize is that it only uses whole coffee beans, so make sure you have those on hand when your machine is delivered. This adds so much more to the flavor and aroma. Speaking of aroma, it even gives you options on how strong you want to coffee, the aroma of it and you can alter the amount of milk. The touch screen is so easy to use and the app on your phone will give you other options (though this machine has so many already packed in, it will be a while before I get to that). Bottom line: This espresso machine is a winner!

5.0 out of 5 stars The most amazing espresso machine with WI-FI ever! The media could not be loaded. I love my coffee. I have spent a ton of money at Starbucks over the years and now it’s time to invest in myself! I was very excited to receive this fully automatic espresso machine and it’s even better than I could have imagined. Literally I could open my own coffee shop, it is that good!

It fits nicely underneath my cabinets. Overall it looks absolutely stunning! The stainless steel is nice, easy to clean. The bottom of the portion of the machine comes out and holds excess water and the coffee grounds. it’s completely automated and the machine is smart, will tell you everything, including when to empty the basin, when to add more water or espresso beans.

This machine takes true espresso beans, so I purchased a huge bag of Starbucks espresso beans from Sam’s Club. Perfect! The beans go into the top of the machine and holds a decent amount. The water container is on the right side of the machine, easy to refill, lid comes off the top but the entire container can be removed if needed. On the left side of the machine is where the milk container goes. I store mine in the fridge when it’s not needed.

There are so many options of coffee this machine can make. I’m fairly easy, just enjoy my Americano. However it has options for cappacino, slow pour, cafe latte, simple espresso just to name a few. Each option will allow individual changes like size and strength of brew. The coffee it makes it even better than what I pay for at Starbucks!

The machine itself looks quite high end. I’m so happy with this machine, if anyone comes over to my house, I now offer to make them a coffee of their choice. It also has the ability to be Wi-Fi enabled and there’s an app for it as well. Easy to download and connect to machine. It has the ability to be remote started. There’s also a feature to warm up the coffee cup as well. This machine has it all and more. It will not disappoint! I highly recommend this awesome Bosch VeroCafe Espresso machine. 10 Stars!!!!⭐️

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE LOVE LOVE this coffee machine! The media could not be loaded. I’ve been using this amazing fully automatic espresso/latte/coffee machine for several weeks now, making one delicious cup of coffee or cappuccino after another for myself and family members that tastes as good (actually better) than anything I’ve had from Starbucks or other retail coffee shops, and all with very little effort, and 99% consistency. Even though I haven’t changed the beans, flavorings or water that I’ve been using with my old machine, the difference in flavor is a huge improvement over my 5 year old Keurig coffee maker. I don’t know how they do it, but they do it well.

This coffee machine is beautiful, superbly designed in form and function, and super versatile. It looks great on my kitchen counter and makes me want to break out my barista apron when my family members are watching me prepare their delicious beverages. I think I’ll be getting a tip jar soon, hehe.

Kidding aside, this machine is a joy to use and very easy to use once you get past the short learning curve. The touch-screen color display menu is well laid out, thoughtful of function and a joy to use. You can start with a number of preset beverage choices and customize them to suit your tastes. Once you’ve nailed your preferences down, you can save them to your Favorites for quick and easy reuse.

Larger specialty beverage preparations (like 16oz cappuccinos, for example) require that you run two smaller-beverage preparations one after the other. Space is limited under the beverage dispenser, so if your final destination is a tall insulated coffee mug, you’ll need to prepare your beverage in a shallower container and transfer to the final container afterwards.

Setup of the machine takes some study and effort, but isn’t too difficult. Just take your time and you’ll get through the process with no problem. Once you see how well designed all the pieces are, you’ll come to appreciate how easy it is to refill and clean the machine on a regular basis. Longer period maintenance is also a breeze after you learn to do it the first time. This design of the parts and the cleaning process have all the qualities of a business-grade machine. Nothing finicky or troublesome. Nothing that will wear out or break easily. Nothing that doesn’t fit well. Nothing that can’t be cleaned or is bound to become uncleanable (like tiny seams, crevices, moulding, etc).

The choice of beverages are plentiful, ranging from milk/cream-based coffees, to basic coffees, to warm milk, foam milk, and even just hot water.

The grinding and coffee bean tray are great. Coffee beans are ground on-demand for each beverage preparation, ensuring the freshest grind you can get. The grind is very consistent, so you get a great yield from your beans and very good consistency from one preparation to the next.

Consumables (descaling and “detergent” tablets) are reasonably priced. Maintenance periods are reasonable as well, with option to skip the maintenance – but you’ll be reminded again the next time you go to brew something up, until you actually perform the menu-driven, menu-guided required maintenance.

The water tank holds about a pitcher full of water. I would have preferred a larger size, but it’s better this way I suppose since you don’t want your water going stale or growing bacteria.

I didn’t test the WiFi functions (remote brewing and such) beyond connecting the machine to my WiFi network, which it did flawlessly and now I get maintenance notifications on my phone. I suppose now I can also brew a cup of coffee just before I get home from work or from my bed when i wake up at random times in the morning using the internet. None of that appeals to me, so I never tested it, but I’m sure it will do a fine job of it. Just be sure nobody removes the cup from the machine, otherwise you’re going to have a big mess to clean up.

In summary, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this coffee machine. If you can afford such a luxury, then by all means, treat yourself or a friend to it. Or, if you own a business, get one for the office and you’ll be as popular as a rock star!

Below are some unedited notes I took that I intended to clean up for the review, but I think can be useful even without editing:

No conversion table from test strip reading which has 4 levels and the “aroma ring” setting on water filter which is marked A, B, C. Instructions aren’t clear which side goes up/down when Installing the water filter. The open end goes down. Installing is tricky because there is limited room to fit an adult male hand that far down onto the water tank. Once you get it aligned, it fits snugly and well. (There’s actually a tool included to help you install the water filter that makes it super easy to do)

The coffee maker is telling me (at the machine and on my phone via the Home Connect app) that the coffee maker REQUIRES a new water filter and a cleaning. The cleaning notification on the machine gives an estimated time of 35 minutes to complete the process. Depending on the type of cleaning, descaling tablets, a sample pack of which are included with original purchase. Additional packs (OEM and 3rd-party) are also available online with prices ranging in the $15-20 range for a kit.

There is not much detail to the cleaning notifications in the app other than a NOTIFICATION title and a date/time stamp. On the machine, there are options for different types of cleaning.
