Bosch Fully Automatic Coffee and Espresso Machine - One-Touch Drinks, Barista Style, Double Cup Super Coffee Maker - Large Bean Capacity - Easy Clean, Maintenance - Silver- TIU20307

Update after 7 months of usage: * Still making great cups of coffee and espresso on the spot. * Self-cleaning/rinse feature seems to keep the coffee maker working as expected. * Calc’n Clean process is easy now. Update after 2 months of usage: * Still making great cups of coffee on the spot. * Calc’n Clean process is becoming an easier after couple of times. Update after 3 weeks of usage: * Makes a great cup of espresso, coffee, or cappuccino on demand. * Easy to clean. * Just did a Calc'n Clean process. It's a bit involved, but WORTH the effort for an automatic espresso machine. Initial feedback: ================== Was a bit hesitant initially about getting a fully automatic espresso machine, but after a week of using it, multiple times a day, the machine has exceeded my expectation. Pros: - Makes a hot and good cup of coffee/espresso with the integrated grinder. Although the grinder can be a bit noisy, the grinding time is only few seconds. - Ease of use - Self rinse at start-up and prior to auto-shut-down. It does use about a cup of water per rinse, but I'd much rather the machine self-rinse than me doing it. Some review indicated the water needs refill often, not a big deal for me. Con: - No easy way to swap out coffee beans. I'd like to have coffee throughout the day, but not caffeine all the time, so I'd like to have decaf in the afternoon. But, to do so, I would need to take out regular coffee beans prior to put in decaf beans. So, I'm learning to just fill the bean container with enough beans for the morning so that I can easily swap out for decaf beans in the afternoon. Overall, a great machine. Will plan to provide updates after a month of usage.

First off, I have had this machine for 4 months. I wanted to give it a good test period, before reviewing. This machine is absolutely worth the price! It is an all-in-one machine, and takes up a relatively small footprint on the counter. There is a built in grinder, so the grounds are always fresh. They empty into an internal basket, so there are zero coffee grounds on the counter to deal with. The removable water tank has a water filter & is easy to fill. The entire operation of this machine is so easy, and the coffee is so perfect, you’d think you were at a coffee house. It also makes espresso drinks easy in the morning, because you can put your cup under it, go get ready, and come back to a freshly made, grab & go coffee, as you run out the door. No more waiting in long morning coffee drive thrus & spending $7 a cup. Everyone in my household uses it, and everyone in my extended family owns this machine. It is easy to use, makes wonderful coffee drinks, and is fast, & tidy. 1000% worth the price, for all of the time & money you will save making it at home. Plus, you will impress guests with your barista skills. (Just don’t let them see that all you did was push a button. lol.) ***There are some reviews stating it doesn’t get the milk hot enough. This depends on how much milk you put in the cup. For instance, if I am making a grande latte, I need to run it through the latte macchiato setting twice-because I have a lot more milk. You can also set the frothing time, utilizing the milk button. Don’t let that scare you off. Once you play with it, you will get the milk temp set perfect. Definitely recommend this machine. We love it and use it, probably 4 times a day.

Do not buy this! I ordered one for my husband for Valentine’s Day. We set it up and kept getting the error message “fill water tank” but the tank was filled. I called Bosch and it seems that this is a common issue where air gets into the water lines and there is nothing the customer can do to fix it. Not good quality for an $800 machine. Since Amazon doesn’t send replacements I have to return & wait for reimbursement. I’m going to try the Kitchenaid one next.

Had the machine for about two months now. My only complaint is the milk frother does not heat the milk to a temperature I like. I use my aerocino most of the time for the latte. But it works as promised. I have cleaned it twice. The process is easy todo with the machine guiding you. It was very easy to complete. Even taught my senior mom to make herself a latte during the week when I’m working. Works with all coffee beans.

We have this espresso machine for about 6 months now, and we love it. At first, I was hesitant in buying one because you normally need a grinder, a tamping device, frother and the machine itself. With this Bosch machine, it's all built in. It was also $200 dollars off at the time. There isn't much maintenance, but when you have too.... - If you use the milk frother, then the frother stick is held on magnetically so it's easy to take off and rinse. - The used coffee grounds are contained internally. The machine will tell you when you need to empty it. Normally around 7-9 cups before it tells you that you have to empty it. This is super easy to do, just open the door and take out the bin. - The drip tray captures a lot of water. The machine will also tell you when you need to empty it. I'm not sure where it's coming from, but it will need to get empty around two rounds of emptying the used coffee ground bin. This is also easy to do. Open the door and pull out the tray. It will contain the used coffee bin in the tray. - Once a week, the main part (tamping and drip section) needs to be taken out, rinsed and dried. This is simple and easy to do. Just rinse under water and let dry. The machine doesn't tell you this, but you should. The coffee ground dust get everywhere inside. - Once in a while, the machine will require a deep cleaning. This requires buying Bosch tablets to descale and sanitize the system. This is probably the hardest thing to do and takes time. One time, my wife made her drink and right after it required me to perform the deep cleaning cycle (so I resorted to old drip and filter way to get my fix). I think it depends on the hardness of your water, which you have to set initially. There is one model where you can put your espresso cups on top and it will warm it up. One thing that we would like to have is a second espresso bean hopper. If you want a different type of bean, like decaffeinated, you will need to either finish what's in the hopper or tilt the whole machine on it's side to take out the other bean first. We were definitely happy with this. We don't miss going to a coffee shop.

Lasted 2 years. First it stopped frothing the way it used to, then I had to use zip ties to prevent the hose inside the machine to stop coming off.

Great machine. Strongly recommended. Working Great and most importantly everything is so simple and easy, no complications. That's what I was looking for, fast,easy, simple and doing the job right without too many programms that I never would use anyway. Cleaning is very easy too. Decalcification process was easy programming too.The Design is beautiful. Well made. Noisy,but ok. Just one advise .When you are making cappuccino or macchiato- if you want really great frotting of the milk with a lot of creamer at the top,first use "frott milk" button and after that do "Cappuccino ". If you are on hurry or just little frotting is ok,just use appropriate button for coffee you want. You can adjust how strong your coffee should be..5 is the strongest. The espresso is very strong at this machine (warning!) The regular coffee on this machine is strong like espresso on other machines I had before, like Phillips. Just saying 😌 Love it so far and recommended.

I replaced my old regular coffee machine to Bosch fully automatic coffee machine. The machine is compact that only taken a small space but contained all kinds of functions to make a good of coffee. The coffee taste likes from a cafe. It’s fully automatic with one press. Cleaning is easy too. It’s perfect for a small household or small office.

Perfect coffee every time! I love this machine, coffee, espresso and cappuccino made easily and I get to adjust how strong the coffee is or how much milk I want! Super easy clean-up ad well, my fave machine by far 🤍🤎🤍

This unit has turned out to be an excellent product. It performs exactly as advertised. I chose to write this review because a number of customer reviews complained about coffee not being warm enough, too noisy and so forth. We decided to take a chance. For our family it has worked perfectly. It is not advertised as a high-end coffee maker but at a quarter the price for those units it is simply not worth paying more. Incidentally, the unit is replacing a Jura which had given up the ghost after 14 years. The coffee seems just as good. We'll see how this one does over time.

I purchased used one from amazon but it doesn’t work and the main part was also missing

The previous reviews were accurate. This is a great machine, makes good coffee but the milk isn't very hot. I usually purchase De"longhi and still like them. They have more features, like iced coffee and hot water. However, this Bosch is much quieter with less parts to break or go missing. I would buy it again as well.

I love it, very easy to use. A bit loud tho
