Any connoisseur of quality coffee knows perfectly well that an instant product is not natural. The situation is slightly different with ground coffee (even for brewing in cups). It looks a bit like a "correct" product, but the best results are obtained only when using a coffee machine. Even in a coffee maker, it will not be possible to make high-quality coffee. But coffee machines are capable of this. And the question now is which of the machines to choose. There are a huge number of models on the market for every taste and budget. However, it is important to choose the right car and not be guided only by the notorious slogan "cheap and cheerful". In the case of coffee, you do not need to save. So, the Bosch BenvenutoClassic TCA5309 coffee machine looks like the most interesting option on the modern market. Let's consider it in more detail. But first, a few words about the manufacturing company.
A little about Bosch
The German company was founded in the nineteenth century. But the business is still booming. Thanks to purely German thoroughness and inclusiveness. Indeed, Bosch produces almost everything that the modern consumer needs: householdmachinery, construction tools, auto parts, industrial tools, medical equipment and more. It seems to be such different directions, but Bosch does a great job. But the Bosch BenvenutoClassic TCA5309 coffee machine belongs to the category of consumer appliances.
Bosch today
The high quality of Bosch products is well known to consumers from Russia and the CIS countries. The brand, by the way, is popular not only in our countries. People from European countries also appreciated the quality of products. What is there to say! Bosch has managed to gain popularity even in the American market. This speaks volumes. Therefore, if you are offered equipment from Bosch, then you need to take it. Of course, if the products are original, and not made by hardworking Chinese in Moscow basements. So, let's move on to the Bosch BenvenutoClassic TCA5309 coffee machine.
Look & Design
The look of the coffee machine evokes memories of Bosch coffee makers from the early 2000s: the same bulky drawer. Only this box of functions is much more. The coffee bean container is located on the back of the machine. In general, the device looks decent. Case material - plastic. However, the plastic turned out to be of such high quality that even scratching it is a problem. Even though it's glossy. There are, of course, metal parts: pallets, mechanisms, and so on. There are some on the front panelsilver buttons to control the machine. In terms of design, the Bosch BenvenutoClassic TCA5309 coffee machine is very good.
Appearance features
In principle, in appearance this machine is similar to all similar products. But there are also differences. So, for example, coffee from it can be poured into cups of various sizes. Although this is a design feature, it also affects the design. Thanks to the strict lines of the body and the classic color scheme, the machine will perfectly fit into any interior. A good coffee maker should be standard and versatile. His task is to brew coffee, not to decorate the kitchen. This is exactly what the Bosch BenvenutoClassic TCA5309 coffee machine is. An overview of the capabilities of this device will convince you of this.
Machine capability
This is the fun part. The coolest machines are able to brew coffee almost from a stool and decorate it with all sorts of frills. But the Bosch TCA 5309 Benvenuto Classic coffee machine, the photo of which is given in this material, does not have such wide capabilities. It is understandable. Before us is a simple and reliable device, which is designed to brew a lot of high-quality coffee. And the machine copes with this task with a bang. The device can cook espresso, latte, cappuccino and americano in huge quantities. There is an option to select the degree of grinding and the strength of the drink. The Aroma Whirl System proprietary option is also very interesting. The device pre-dosesboiled grains. This contributes to the full disclosure of the taste and aroma of coffee.
Features
Also in the arsenal of the coffee machine there is a "mechanical cappuccinatore". This is a metal tube through which compressed hot air is supplied. He makes milk froth to add to cappuccino. Also, the machine can give ordinary boiling water. It can also be used as a grinder. Such multifunctionality is a common thing for modern coffee machines. And there is nothing surprising here. There is only one drawback: there is no coffee strength regulator. You have to experiment with the degree of grinding. Otherwise, the Bosch BenvenutoClassic TCA5309 coffee machine, the reviews of which we will analyze a little later, is an excellent device for home and office use.
Management
Nothing complicated here. All control of the machine is based on buttons. But first you have to study the instructions, because you won’t be able to make high-quality coffee the first time. Each button corresponds to a specific operation. So, there is a button for selecting the volume of a portion (there are two of them), a button for turning on the cappuccinatore, a button for adjusting the degree of grinding. There is also a special "twist" that regulates the amount and pressure of the supplied steam for the cappuccinatore. In general, we can say that the control of the coffee machine is implemented successfully. The interface is not overloaded and intuitive. Even a beginner can handle the car. Ergonomics is the main advantage of the Bosch BenvenutoClassic TCA5309 coffee machine. Instructions are needed only if you need to make some special coffee. Then it will be necessary to select the settings manually. And so the machine does a good job.
Cleaning and rinsing
This is a very important aspect, because any coffee machine needs to be washed from time to time. Otherwise, it will fail. This is the worst case. At best, it will start making disgusting coffee. Bosch has no problems with flushing. This machine is equipped with an automatic flushing and cleaning system. All you have to do is fill the tank with clean water and insert a branded cleaning tablet into the appropriate compartment. After that, it remains only to click on "Start". Then the machine will do everything itself. This procedure is best done once a month. In general, the coffee machine itself will notify the user when it is time to clean it. To do this, there is a special indicator (LED of a certain color) and a sound signal. After rinsing and descaling, the machine will continue to delight the user with high-quality and aromatic coffee.
Positive feedback from owners
So what do people say about the Bosch TCA 5309 Benvenuto Classic coffee machine? What are the disadvantages and advantages found in it by consumers? It should be noted right away that there are much more positive reviews than negative ones. Moreover, the owners praise almost everything: build quality and materials, versatility, automatic flushing mode. Especially people like the qualitybrewed coffee. The machine can brew coffee no worse than professionals in specialized establishments. Of course, it is worth mentioning that you need to use the appropriate sources: quality grains and bottled water. Only then can the maximum effect be achieved. Also, many praise the "cappuccinatore". He is far from "panarello", but the latter requires a barista with the appropriate skills. And the Bosch cappuccino maker can froth any milk for its subsequent addition to drinks.
Negative owner reviews
There are far fewer of them. Such a product is the Bosch BenvenutoClassic TCA5309 coffee machine. Negative customer reviews describe, as a rule, a factory marriage. It is far from certain that such a machine will come across to you. So, some complain that the machine brews very weak coffee. Even if you choose "strong". This is already a matter of taste. For most users, the fortress is more than enough. Also, some have observed a problem with the shaft for supplying already ground coffee to the brewer. But this only indicates that the user himself does not clean the feed shaft. This is why coffee tastes bad. The rest of the reviews do not deserve attention, as they belong to the category "and other coffee machines …" and further down the text. Let's not forget that we have a budget option. For an entry-level machine, this functionality is a huge achievement. In a good way, writing negative reviews about this coffee machine is bad manners. It is unlikely that you will find anything at the same price with similar functionality. Anything that somehow fitsdescription, either costs much more, or is of poorer quality, or does not have the desired set of functions.
Conclusion
So, what is the Bosch BenvenutoClassic TCA5309 coffee machine in general terms? This is a great machine for brewing quality coffee at home. The device has a compact size, excellent design, many functions and an automatic washing and cleaning system. There is also a built-in mechanical "cappuccinatore". The device is able to prepare different types of coffee and perfectly copes with any strength and any volume. But the main thing is the price. She will please even the most stingy buyer.
