800 Series Fully Automatic Coffee, Espresso Machine- Stainless Steel

Euro coffee fan here. Owned Jura S9, Jura Ena micro 5, Phillips Lattego 4400 and multiple pod machines. This one is by far my favorite. Really a plug and play product that looks cool, makes great coffee and is user friendly. The coffee tastes delicious and we're not even through the break in. There are plenty of customization options. Like a lot... Lots of coffee choices and the World Coffee feature is nice for new drink ideas. Read the manual or dig around the settings menus because there's stuff tucked away you don't want to miss. The size is a bit deeper than our Phillips Lattego but about the same footprint of the Jura S9 we had before that. This machine is well insulated so the sounds are muted and I appreciate that. The milk container pops in and out easily and is super simple to clean. I like the remote app. I can get up and as I turn off the alarm, I can turn on the machine. By the time I go to the kitchen, it's ready to go. I keep cups on the hotplate overnight so they're nice and warm. Cons: The hopper lid seems to just rest on the beans and static cling to it. When refilling, beans managed to escape all over the counter. I printed an extension to make the hopper itself 60mm deeper (look for the Siemens Eq700 in stl websites). Keeps the beans off the lid and we don't have to refill so frequently. Milk drinks start out warm/hot, more on the warmer end. Needs just one more extra-extra hot setting. Pro-Tip, when unpacking and wondering what they're talking about with the blue cold milk thing is, it's already in the coffee dispenser nozzle. The black is for room temperature (long shelf life) milk that is popular in Europe. And the other hose is for containers like the long life milk boxes, not just a random extra hose. Overall a great machine. We paid a little more for the stainless steel and it matches out black and silver appliances beautifully. If you're looking for a nice quality machine to up your coffee game, this is it. Happy caffinating!

The bean hopper is designed with a plastic "grill" over the grinder. When you pour in coffee beans they tend to bounce off the grill and go all over the counter. You have to pour real slow and push the beans through the grill as you go along to avoid this. The used "pucks" of coffee are deposited straight into the drip tray where they mix with water and turn into a sludge. They give you a plastic flat shovel like scooper to remove the grinds, but it is pretty much like cleaning out a cat litter box. The touch menu/buttons do not work well. I had to 'tap' to get them to work mote often than not. The real show stopper was the On/Off button. From day 1 I always had to press it several times until I could the machine to turn on or off. After about 2 weeks it simply stopped working. Maybe I got a lemon, I don't know, but I had to return the machine. I decided not to exchange for a new one but instead went the Jura Z10 (which I'm super happy with)

Absolutely wonderful! Makes the best cappuccino! Super easy to clean the milk system. This is far better than the Miele machine I had (6350 model) and has a removable brew unit which can be removed for cleaning (which Jura does NOT have) -- It's really the best of whats out there. The Screen is beautiful and plenty responsive. Cup warmer works best when you turn cups upside down to build-up heat inside the mug/cup. The Stainless Steel model is the only one that has the cup warmer, if you don't need the stainless steel design or the cup warmer, go for the less expensive version. It's an awesome machine either way way and thats coming from someone who sold super-autos for 22 years! This machine warms-up quickly and makes an awesome espresso -- milk based drinks are a breeze, foam is delicious and works well with Almond Milk (which is all I use). The water tank is HUGE and the dump-box/drip tray are very intelligently designed for ease of waste removal and cleaning. I really can't say enough good about this. It's one of my absolute favorites!

I don’t normally write reviews like this. I’ve owned a high end Jura, a couple of Nespresso Vertuo cartridge espresso machines, and two Lavazza Classy Plus cartridge machines over the past decade years or so. Lately I was yearning for a new super automatic whole bean grind sort of machine, but not willing to swallow the cost of a new Jura (pick any model…). After some online research I settled on the Bosch 800 with all the bells and whistles- at an attractive Amazon Day price. That last bit helped. I felt like I was taking a bit of a risk. Even discounted the Bosch is a bit pricey. I needn’t of worried. So easy to setup, quiet and simple in operation, surprisingly fast to brew ( even fancy drinks) . I am sold. For a super automatic the Bosch has good espresso and even better latte, cappuccino, and similar fancy drinks. Best integrated milk steam approach I’ve tried. Very clear cleaning procedures (step by step via its stroking front panel LCD interface) and simple removal (30 seconds) and deep cleaning of brewing components. Easier to use than my iPhone. Highly recommended.

So, you're probably wondering why "an outstanding coffee maker" has four stars, right? I'll come back to that. Pros: This is a wonderful machine. Fancy coffee, to me, was a mystery because I never knew what was in a macchiato, cappuccino, frappuccino, etc. These were fancy words used when going to a Starbucks, a convenience store that sold Starbucks bottled coffees, or some upscale coffee house. Up until I purchased this, coffee was some grounded-up stuff put in a filter in a generic coffee machine located in the nearest work break room near you. With enough creamer, sugar, and insulin shots, you could make that swill bearable, but it still wouldn't be great. All that being said, this thing does everything for me, which is great, because the idea of grinding up beans, pressing them, and all that would dissuade me from doing more than the generic K-cups I bought for my first-gen Keurig. It has a variety of coffee drinks that it can prepare: Ristretto, espresso macchiato, cold brew, cold brew macchiato, slow brew, flat white, café con leche, café au laIt, Americano, Coronado, red eye, dead eye, and cappuccinos. I don't know what half of those are, but it can do them. So, thirteen options in total. In addition to that, this machine lives up to the term FAEM (Fully Automated Espresso Machine). Did you forget to rinse out the machine when you were done making a cup? No, you didn't, because the machine rinses itself out when it's turned on AND when it's turned off. Did you remember to empty the drip tray? No, you didn't, because the machine will tell you to do that. Did you grind the beans? Nope, it did that. Are you sure if you have enough beans to prepare a cup? It'll tell you if it doesn't. Don't know how to clean it? It shows instructions on it's LCD display for you to follow. It's really not that difficult. I'm confused why some claim that cleaning it is "hard." The machine has a water tank that also comes with a filter in it, which naturally you would replace over time, but it's unnecessary if you use filtered water already. Finally, there is also a side attachment for the milk container that comes with it and a tube you can place in a milk container or some other liquid-holding item if that's what you want to do. Good-quality coffee beans + this machine = a great cup of coffee Cons: God, is this thing expensive or what?! Two-and-a-half THOUSAND dollars is what this thing cost at the time of purchase and, I have to tell you, if I had not landed a 100% WFH job, I would not have considered this. Bosch makes high-quality appliances. My dishwasher, for example, is one of theirs and it does a great job cleaning the dishes. It *also* was not cheap, but I didn't want to repeat an earlier mistake and buy the cheapest dishwasher I could only to have it crap out on me. The axiom "You get what you pay for" holds in that regard, but I digress. As previously noted, this has 13 beverage options and the interface also boasts, through Bosch's phone app "Home Connect", access to an additional set of coffee drink creations. However, this is where Bosch drops the ball. Remember how I said this was $2,500-ish? Their online "Coffee World+", despite its grandiose name, only has FIVE (it repeats "Espresso Tonic" twice) additional coffee beverage options... and this number has not changed since I purchased this two months ago. Also, you'd think for the price of a fairly high-end gaming computer, they'd have more than thirteen coffee options, with five more waiting for you to download if you're inclined. Only 18 drink recipes for $2500? According to ChatGPT, there are a LOT of beverages this could produce if only Bosch just... loaded it in the software. So, why didn't they? Summary: Yes, this is a costly coffee machine, to put it in crude terms, but it is very good at what it does. Almost everything is done for you, except for adding any creams, syrups, or sugars and stirring it for you. However, if you are some celebrity or CEO who, even if they quit their jobs and never worked again, will *never* have to worry about paying their bills and you want a machine that has dozens of beverages programmed in, then you might want to consider something like a Jura-brand Giga 10. They're *only* $5,000 and have 30-40 or so beverages programmed in.

I have only had my machine for a few days. I was a bit afraid to order it because of the bad reviews but, so far, I am thrilled with it. I finally get coffee drinks, like a cafe au lait, made the proper way. It is such a big improvement over my previous $1,000 Philips! Update: I have now had my 800 with cup warmer for a week and I am in love! The machine is more than I ever wished for Another update: After two weeks, I am still in love with this coffee machine. It is beautiful and makes all kinds of great coffee. It is also easy to clean with instructions easy to follow. Another update: I have now had the machine for almost 3 months and am more in love with it every day. No problems whatsoever. I do heat a cup with hot water from it before making coffee. My favorites are cafe au lait and cappuccino.

It broke down in less than a month. I couldn't get in touch with the service. The screen malfunctioned, and there is only a white screen now. Bosch is a big brand, and I bought it thinking I wouldn't face any issues, but I deeply regret it. I definitely do not recommend it. I couldn't reach the service in the Georgia, Atlanta area.

We tried 4 different automatic coffee machines and this was the best, that is before paying the price for a Jura!! We bought ours on sale $1800 on Prime Day. The 300 series didn’t give “hot” coffee, so we returned it for this one. It makes hot, good tasting, non-bitter coffee. We spend the $$$ for great coffee beans, from a local roasting company.. It’s very user friendly. It was easy to set up and it’s easy to use. It notifies you to empty any/all 3 items when necessary. I love the favorites button and the easy touch screen. It has nice graphics. It doesn’t look cheap like some others (at the same price point) and It’s nice looking on the counter also :) I’m not sure why the poor ratings, it’s excellent, in all areas!
