The TPU40508 is the dark silver 500 Series VeroCafe, with the same drink list and brew architecture as its piano black sibling. A practical note for anyone choosing between the 300, 500 and 800 VeroCafe tiers: all three grind, tamp and brew the same way. What rises with the tier is the drink list, the milk system sophistication and connectivity. The coffee itself is far more affected by the beans and the grind setting than by which tier the machine belongs to.
