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.
