Choose aroma profiles to suit your taste.


Enjoy espresso just the way you like it. With aromaSelect, you can adjust the strength of the coffee to your personal preferences. Simply choose between three different aroma profiles: mild, balanced or pronounced. Whichever aroma profile you choose – you'll enjoy it.

Automatic cleaning of the milk system for perfect hygiene.


Say goodbye to the hassle of cleaning the milk system each day. Fully automatically, AutoMilk Clean steam-cleans the system, keeping it clean and hygienic. By thoroughly cleaning the milk system after each drink, it saves you from having to do it every day.

Making your everyday life easier with the Home Connect app.


The CoffeePlaylist is perfect for hosting guests. Use the Home Connect app to create a playlist of hot drinks that will be made one after the other, all at the touch of a button. Whether it's a Vienna Melange or Colombian Cortado, just browse CoffeeWorld and pick the drink that suits you. The app also offers interesting facts about coffee.

Extra strong coffee with less bitterness.


The more water passes through ground coffee, the more bitter the result. AromaDouble Shot grinds and brews extra strong coffee in two steps — and as only half the water is used at each step, the coffee produced is less bitter. So you can enjoy maximum flavour — even when drinking coffee at maximum strength.

Two cups simultaneously if you want.


No more waiting in the morning to make two drinks back to back. The Bosch fully automatic espresso machine can brew two drinks at once, with a click. Just choose your favourite drink – espresso, cappuccino or latte macchiato.

Enjoy all beverages at the touch of a button.


Challenged to make a creamy cappuccino? Not anymore. Whether you love latte macchiato, cappuccino or espresso, use oneTouch on a Bosch fully automatic espresso machine to make coffee and milk drinks at just the touch of a button.
