my first Bosch TKA 6024 V lasted 1 year, so the design is really nice ... yes the removable tank is great but after a while the "pump" the removable tank no longer responds (even with regular maintenance and descaling ...) ... once the first dropped me I took one second, always the same ... it's been a year since I've replaced ... and this morning she dropped , semblet'il for the same reason so I, as of this day in search of a new coffee, but that makes me more than a year this time!
