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.

The Bosch espresso machine delivers excellent coffee with ease. The OneTouch milk-based beverages and variety of options make it a pleasure to use. The LCD touch panel is intuitive, and the milk frother works perfectly. While the quality is top-notch, the price is quite high. Overall, it is a great machine for coffee lovers.

Very disappointed. I spent a ton of money but this thing is super high maintenance. You have to fill the water tank frequently because when the machine first turns on ( and also when it turns off ) it does a System Rinsing. There is also a ton of water that collects on the “drip trays” inside the unit. You have to open the door, remove and clean the trays about every 3 days. And now for the grand finale!! I have had this machine for 4 months. Yesterday it started showing a “Restart Appliance” message whenever I initiated the start of a coffee or Latte etc. I would pull the power cord. The message disappeared for a few days then would come back. Now it will no longer dispense any coffee at all. It makes a weird squeaking noise and coffee does not come out. The milk frother works fine but no coffee comes out. I did a Calc-n-Clean twice thinking maybe the hose was plugged up somewhere with ground coffee. Nope – this did not fix the issue. The sysem rinsing upon start-up works fine. Water is pushed through. But coffee will not dispense. I will be calling Bosch today but my hopes are not high.

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.

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.

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.
