Bosch Small Appliances

This range divides into breakfast appliances and coffee, and the coffee side is where the real decision sits. A pod machine such as Tassimo pierces a sealed disc and brews one drink at a time with no measuring, grinding or cleaning beyond emptying the used pod, which is why it suits a household that wants variety and speed rather than control. A bean to cup machine grinds fresh beans for every cup and manages the whole extraction automatically, which gives a considerably better result and lower cost per cup, at a higher upfront cost and with a grinder and brew unit to maintain. Choose by whether you value convenience or the cup. Some Tassimo models add a Brita filter, which matters in a hard water area because it reduces scale and improves taste. On kettles and toasters, the reason to buy Bosch by range name is matching: DesignLine and DesignLine Plus run across both, so kettle and toaster share a finish and a form. Kettle capacity here is 1.7 litre throughout, which is the household standard, and cordless means the jug lifts free of a powered base. Toaster slot count follows household size, with 4 slice suiting a family, and stainless, copper and cream finishes cover most kitchen schemes.

Bosch supplies the whole range. Coffee covers the Tassimo Happy in black, cream and red, Style Friendly in black, Vivy 2 in cream and white, My Way 2 in black and My Way with Brita filter in cream and white, alongside the Series 2 EQ300 VeroCafe fully automatic bean to cup in piano black. Kettles cover the DesignLine Ergo 1.7 litre cordless in black and anthracite, DesignLine in stainless steel, DesignLine Plus in copper and cream and the MyMoment 1.7 litre in cream. Toasters cover the DesignLine Ergo 4 slice in anthracite and DesignLine Plus 4 slice in stainless steel, copper and cream, with a Styline 2 slice also stocked.
