THE REAL DIFFERENCE BESDIES THE QUALITY OF THE COFFEE IS THE COST. THE BOSCH IS SURE TO BE MORE EXPENSIVE.
Bosch is a fairly well known brand for coffee makers, and they do make multiple varieties of coffee makers. To find more information on what types of coffee makers they have available you can check their site at: http://www.boschcoffeemaker.net/
Bosch has reasonably priced coffee makers but they can range in price. A simple one will start at about $40 but this can range up to several hundred dollars.
You can find discounted or refurbished Bosch coffe makers on www.eBay.com. You can find fantastic deals on there.
Some coffee makers made by Bosch do have a warranty on them. Most are for a full year, such as the Bosch Bevenuto B20 Gourmet Coffee Machine, but others do not have warranties on them.
You can find several brands of single coffee makers at places like Sears or Best Buy. Some high selling brands are Keurig, Bosch Tassimo, and Espresso Planet.
I searched www.bizrate.com,www.bestbuy.com and www.amazon.com. The prices ranged from 75.00 to 170.00. The average price was about 100.00. Bizrate.com seemed to have the most options for Bosch single serve coffee makers ranging from 140.00 to 170.00.
The Bosch single serve coffee maker uses T discs. The Tassimo 55 Home Brewing System by Bosch has a 56 ounce tank and takes more than two minutes to produce a cup of coffee.
You can get a repair for a bosch coffee maching by contacting the company. Most of the time, however, the repair is just as expensive as the machine.
