Frequently Asked Questions - TIE20129 BOSCH

How to adjust the water hardness on the Bosch TIE20129 coffee machine?

To adjust the water hardness, press the 0 and 0 buttons simultaneously for at least 3 seconds, then press the Espresso button. Use the ☉☐☐ button to select the hardness level (1 to 4 or water filter). Confirm with Espresso. You can obtain the hardness from your water supplier.

What to do if the machine does not dispense coffee?

First check that the bean hopper contains coffee and that the beans are not too oily. Tap the hopper lightly. Make sure the brewing unit is correctly inserted. If the problem persists, perform a descaling with the Calc'nClean program.

How to use the Calc'nClean program to descale and clean the appliance?

Press and hold the calc'n Clean button for at least 5 seconds. Follow the on-screen instructions: empty the drip tray, remove and clean the brewing unit, place a cleaning tablet in the compartment, fill the water tank with 0.5 L of warm water and a Bosch descaling tablet. The program lasts about 40 minutes. When finished, rinse and reassemble everything.

Why does the coffee have almost no crema?

The crema may be missing if the coffee bean is not suitable (prefer a blend with more Robusta or a dark roast), if the grind is too coarse, or if the beans are not fresh. Set a finer grind while the grinder is running, and use freshly roasted coffee.

How to clean the milk frother?

After each use, place a glass half-filled with water under the dispensing system, lower the milk frother and press the Milk button to rinse. Let it cool, remove the frother and clean it with clear water or in the dishwasher. Dry it before replacing.

How often should the water filter be changed?

The water filter must be changed at least every 2 months, or when the indicator flashes. Immerse the new filter in water (opening facing up) until no more bubbles escape, then insert it into the empty tank. Follow the rinsing instructions in the manual.

How to adjust the coffee or espresso quantity?

Place a cup under the dispensing system. Press and hold the Espresso or Coffee button for 3 seconds. The preparation starts and the button flashes. Press the same button again when the desired volume is reached. The setting is saved for the next drink.

What do the flashing LEDs on the control panel mean?

Consult the troubleshooting table in the manual. For example, if the calc'n Clean LED flashes, the appliance needs descaling. If all LEDs flash, this may indicate a power supply fault or too low temperature. Try restarting the appliance after 1 hour of cooling.

Can ground coffee be used in this machine?

No, this machine is designed only for coffee beans. Never use ground coffee, as it could clog the grinder and brewing unit.

How to activate the frost protection for transport?

The appliance must be ready to operate with the water tank filled. Place a large container under the dispensing system, lower the milk frother, then press and hold the Milk button for 5 seconds. Wait until steam comes out, remove the water tank, then turn off the appliance. Then empty and clean the tank and drip tray.
