Our brands, your possibilities
How Home Connect Works for coffee machines
The Home Connect app allows you to operate your fully automatic coffee machines from Bosch, Siemens, Gaggenau and Neff, any room in your home. Fancy a quick espresso before going shopping? Simply use your smartphone or tablet to prepare your order while you sit and plan your purchases in your living room.
You can even use the Home Connect app to widen your knowledge. Find out everything there is to know about coffee and discover new blends and flavours.
Coffee Playlist
The Coffee Playlist helps you as a digital waiter to take your coffee order and to serve without needing any other action. You can also make a list, rename them and send the entire list to the coffee machine. The machine will then brew one drink at a time and display the cup size and the names you put in.
Coffee World
The coffeeWorld is a beverage library with 19 international coffee specialities that are only available in the Home Connect app. The beverages can be adapted to individual preferences and sent directly to the coffee machine for preparation.
beanIdent System
Different varieties of beans have differing characteristics, like size, origin and roast. The beanIdent System adapts all setting ideally to your chosen coffee bean, enabling the best aroma yield possible. You can get the very best out of your chosen coffee bean.
Experience smart appliances without owning them
Have you ever thought about what makes Home Connect so smart? Well, there’s a brilliant way to find it out for yourself. The Demo Appliance feature on the Home Connect app allows you to discover all the smart appliance functions without you needing to own one. Simply download the app and add a demo appliance from one of the categories – let’s say a dishwasher – and experience the Home Connect functions first-hand.
Specialty coffees from all over the world
Surprise your loved ones with new coffee delights. The Coffee World feature has a range of international specialties for you to try, from classic Italian coffees to the Indian Kaapi and the Australian flat white. In addition to well-known classics, you can discover and try out a further 17 special coffee variants.
Become a coffee expert
Discover new types and blends of coffee, and the places where they are cultivated via the Home Connect app. Perfect the art of preparation as you learn how taste is influenced by the water, the beans, the pressure of the coffee machine, and even its height above sea level. You can also get more recipes and read about roasting methods with the coffee know-how function.
A coffee machine that remembers who you are
Your smart espresso machine can do more than just brew coffee. It uses the app to remind you to put the milk back in the refrigerator, and lets you know when it’s time to buy more beans. And if you haven't got your smartphone on hand, you can network your coffee machine with your smartwatch or a LaMetric TIME smart clock.
One solution to suit all tastes
Need to make coffee for all your guests? The drinks playlist feature in the Home Connect app allows to send multiple coffee orders to your machine. The display has a live tracking function that tells you which coffee creation your barista is currently preparing.

Analysis and service via remote diagnostics
Even a smart espresso machine is not infallible. Thanks to Home Connect, you don't have to wait for an engineer to come to your house if yours isn't working the way it should. Just call the Home Connect hotline and you will be connected directly to customer service.
With your permission, the customer service representative can access your oven online and start remote diagnostics. Usually, the error message can be retrieved, and the problem gets solved right away. And if you do need on-site support, this remote diagnostic data allows the engineer to arrive prepared for maintenance tasks or repairs on your appliance. This saves you both time and money.
