Don't Ruin Your New Investment

Regardless of which machine you choose, both rely on internal grinders that are sensitive to oily beans. To keep your Bosch or DeLonghi out of the repair shop, stick to these non-oily selections.

Lavazza Super Crema
The daily driver. Notes of hazelnuts and brown sugar. Long-lasting crema. Tastes like Italy.

Lavazza Super Crema

60% Arabica and 40% Robusta.

Ethical Bean Sweet Espresso
The Vancouver classic. If you care about Organic/Fairtrade but refuse to sacrifice crema, this is the one. It stands up beautifully to milk without being bitter.

Ethical Bean Sweet Espresso

100% Arabica, Fairtrade and Organic. A velvet mouthfeel with notes of toffee and baker's chocolate.

Lavazza Espresso
A very nice medium roast delivering a smooth, balanced flavor profile. Perfect for authentic Italian-style espresso with subtle fruity and floral notes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 800 Series VeroCafe better than the Dinamica Plus?
It depends on your priorities. The Bosch 800 Series VeroCafe excels for users who want Home Connect smart features to order from your phone, while the DeLonghi Dinamica Plus is the better choice if you prioritize the superior micro-foam texture of the LatteCrema system.
How do the grinders compare?
The 800 Series VeroCafe uses a Ceramic, whereas the Dinamica Plus features a Steel Conical. While both are high-quality internal systems, they are sealed components. To prevent clogging and avoid expensive repairs, we strongly recommend using non-oily, medium-roast beans in both machines.
Which machine is easier to clean?
The 800 Series VeroCafe uses a Removable brew group, while the Dinamica Plus uses a Removable system. Generally, removable groups (like DeLonghi) allow for manual rinsing under a tap, while fixed groups (like Jura) rely on automated tablet cleaning cycles.
