The BOSCH Benvenuto B20 Gourmet Coffee Machine is one of the most feature-rich machines on the market for the money. This Swiss work of art makes perfect espresso or coffee in about 30 seconds at the press of a button. The key feature of this machine is gourmet taste and convenience. Enjoy fully automated features that will have you making perfect espresso, coffee, lattes, cafe mochas, cappuccino, and other great coffeehouse drinks in the blink of an eye.
BOSCH has combined convenience with taste through advanced features. These include the exclusive AromaSwirl System for maximum flavor extraction, stainless steel boiler, which helps protect against your coffee acquiring a metal taste, precise temperature control for optimum flavor release, and a built-in water filter that completely cleans the water for a pure coffee taste.
Advanced features include programmable brewing options, adjustable coffee strength, the ability to use pre-ground coffee of your choice in addition to coffee beans (useful if you have decaffeinated beans in the hopper, but want a regular espresso/coffee), rapid switching between brewing and steaming functions, an adjustable coffee grinder for fine tuning your espresso/coffee, and an automated cleaning system.
Additional Features
Advanced Patented AromaSwirl Brewing System
The AromaSwirl System yields maximum flavor and aroma from the brewing process. This special system combines freshly ground coffee with water that is at the ideal temperature in a pressurized brewing system. The coffee grounds are conditioned (presoaked) in hot water for a few seconds, and then subjected to high pressure during the computer controlled brewing cycle. The result is coffee and espresso that has been brewed under perfect conditions.
Automatic Espresso & Coffee Brewing: Easy To Operate
The Benvenuto B20 was designed so that anyone, regardless of their experience could easily master the art of making great coffeehouse drinks. When the coffee button is pressed, the machine will grind just the right amount of coffee beans, place the grounds into the brewing system, extract your coffee or espresso, and clean up after itself in one complete step.
The designers kept in mind that all you want is great coffee drinks and not a lot of fancy buttons and controls. There are two control knobs and one coffee brew button to master in order to make coffee drinks. It’s so easy! To brew coffee you simply dial in the coffee drink you want and using the other dial you select how strong your coffee selection will be.
Select from the following coffee drinks: Small espresso, espresso, small coffee, coffee, large coffee, XXL coffee. You may also brew a double of any of these drinks (2 espressos or 2 large coffees for example) by selecting that option on the coffee drink selector!
Hot Water Dispenser & Instant Steam Feature
Turn on the steam knob, wait about 10 seconds, and you will have all of the instant steam you want for cappuccinos or lattes. A convenient frothing tip for creating milk froth comes with the machine and delivers perfect foam every time for lattes or cappuccinos, even if you have never foamed milk before! The steam wand is located on the right-front of the machine and it accommodates frothing pitchers up to 20 oz. If you need instant hot water for making tea, hot cocoa, or Americanos, the hot water feature is available at the turn of a dial.
Special Pre-Ground Coffee Funnel
This option allows you to pour pre-ground coffee into a funnel that is accessed by lifting a small lid on top of the machine. This feature is perfect when there is someone in the crowd who wants a decaffeinated espresso and there are only caffeine espresso beans in the machine, or if you wish to sample other blends of coffee. After making a cup of coffee with the pre-ground option, the machine automatically resets back to the beans held in the machine. It’s all up to taster’s choice.
Information Display Screen
Unlike any machine in its class, the B20 has a information screen that has12 backlit symbols on it that tells you everything from what mode the machine is in to when the machine needs to be cleaned, so there is no guessing on how to use the machine.
