  I never understood the love affair with coffee drinkers and their morning cups of coffee....until my husband gave me a Tassimo coffee machine for Christmas in '05. It's a machine that reads an SKU code on top of a coffee (or tea, or hot chocolate, or latte) disc and knows how much steaming water...

At first glance,the Tassimo system seems perfect for a coffee lover. The brew-only-what-what-you-need approach seems great(no more stale, reheated coffee). However, the unit is large enough that it's inconvenient to keep on the kitchen counter, expensive(mine was $169, on sale), and very, very unreliable....

First of all, I am not a coffee drinker.  My wife is also not a regular coffee drinker.  You might say its crazy to have this expensive coffee maker in that case, but that is why I am writing this review.

I bought this coffee maker for my wife Christmas of 2005 which means we have now had it for just over 2 full years.  In that time, my wife has been pregnant twice, meaning that what hot beverages she drinks has changed a lot.  We use the machine for coffee, Cappucinos, hot chocolate, and teas both when we have guests over and when its just her and I.  We love how easy it is to fire up a cup...

I had been looking for a coffee machine for a while, a regular pot was out of the question, and I wasn't impressed with the machines that make coffee directly into the travel mugs.  One visit with a friend who has this machine and I was sold; she made a perfect cappuccino in less than two minutes.  The best part of this system is the variety I am a huge cappuccino fan, and for the price of 1 cup of Starbucks you can buy a pack of Maxwell house which will make 8 cappuccinos they have 8 milk discs and 8 espresso discs.  These are available at Target or online at tassimodirect.com, Target generally...

I have the Tassimo one cup coffee maker.  I love the fact that it has a water purification filter in the water tank.  However, the coffee is never strong enough. I have 6 different types of coffee that I bought and all are very weak.  I know you can adjust the water level but if you want a 12oz cup of coffee, it's very mild and kind of dull. 

Note: I like the brewing of the Tassimo better than the Keurig. Kuerig, though, has many more coffee choices to chose from. 

 All in all, this is a great, simply machine to operate.  I am not a cook by all means nor do I like to be in the kitchen, Tassimo...

I've had my Tassimo single Cup Coffee Maker for over a year now.  We love, love, love this machine!  We can easily change between coffee, tea, hot chocolate, espresso, cappucinos.  A little expensive at first to purchase the unit but the coffee discs are reasonable and can be found online or at Bed Bath Beyond and Target.  :)

 Oh.. and they DO sell milk discs separately now!

My husband and I purchased the Tassimo when I had to give up caffeine because I was breastfeeding. The Tassimo is the perfect solution, as he can have a cup or two of good Starbucks or Gevalia coffee in the morning when he gets up, and I can have a cup or two of decaf later in the morning when I get up, and we don't waste half a pot of coffee.

The Tassimo brews one cup of beverage at a time. An internal scanner reads the barcode off the beverage disc, and this tells the machine how much water, how hot, and how long to brew. A wide variety of discs are available, including several brands and...

I was lucky enough to receive my Tassimo years ago as a trial user, it was sent to me in the mail with a few of the Latte and Cappucino packs for me to test and see how it worked and if I liked it.  I have never been happier with a coffee maker!  For the price it is a fanatstic deal especially when you have guests or have different tastes in the house, or if you are single.  It makes one cup at a time so there is no waste and it can do everything from tea and hot chocolate to fancy little cappucinos.  The flavors are excellent, it is very easy to use and pretty easy to clean, and it's quick! ... review »

I love my tassimo!  I used to own a coffee machine and then got a tassimo as a present.  It is faster than my coffee machine which was advertised as the fastest on the market.  It is also multi-functional, I can make plain coffee or a latte, or hot chocolate, or tea etc.  Not only is there variety in the type of drink, but there is also variety in the brand and specifics of the drinks.  For example, I can have Starbucks coffee or Maxwell house morning blend or decaf from Green Mountain.  Plus, it is hassle-free, instead of having to measure out coffee grounds put them into a filter, measure...

I received this machine as a Christmas gift two years ago and absolutely love it. I have tried several of the coffee T-Discs available, some of the teas and the hot chocolate. The cappucinno is my favorite. There is a small issue with the cappucinno milk T-Disc. For some reason the disc is still full of liquid after using it and if your not careful taking it off, the milk/water dribbles out of the disc. I have not had this problem with the latte milk discs though. There is a cleaning disc provided to rinse the machine between drinks so your tea doesn't taste like coffee. Its fairly easy to clean... review »

Before Tassimo I was a plain cup of joe girl made in a big pot at the house. I prefer cafe mocha and found myself spending 3-4 dollars at Panera Bread or Starbucks. And if I had to drink regular coffee, if the pot was not turned off right after brewing, I found the coffee tasted burnt.

After a vacation a few years back with a friend who brought the Tassimo, I was sold.

I bought one and my husband continued to use the traditional pot. For a fraction of the cost, I make any coffee house specialty coffee in my house. And it didnt take long for my husband to join me in loving the Tassimo and I have...

<pThe machine is a little noisy, and not good for making drinks for a big crowd, but that is our only complaint. My husband and I agree: This machine produces the best cup of coffee, tea, green tea ever. It is easy to use. Every cup is quick to make and fresh and tasty. I think we have tried most styles of coffee makers and this one is the best we've used. It is easy to set up an account with Tassimo and have the discs sent right to your door. You can update quantities and flavors/ type of beverage at any time. There are mnay, many flavors of coffee and tea to choose from; they even have hot chocolate....

This machine is great.  It is easy to use and makes a great cup of coffee.  It is also relatively easy to clean when it needs it.  For the most part, this is an excellent buy for anyone who just wants a few cups of coffee per day.  The only problems I have with this machine are that the T-discs get kind of expensive.  The plain coffe is not very expensive but the cappucinos and lattes are a bit on the pricey side.  The only other complaint I have is that you can't just buy the milk discs which would be good for me because I like to make the hot chocolate with a milk.

I received the Tassimo coffee machine in Dec 2006 as a gift and loved it. It was leaking from underneath the unit by the summer of 2007. I still am using it because the conveniece of 1 cup at a time is so handy. It would be even handier if it had a "tall" setting so I don't have to manually fill up the rest of tall portable coffee mugs/tumblers (the kind with aluminum inside to keep coffee warm) before heading out the door. I removed the plastic insert for small cups so the large mugs/tumblers will fit.

The Tassimo is exactly what I was looking for to make decaf cappuccino.  I wanted something automatic instead of the regular old espresso maker w/the steam wand.  I've had it for 2 years now.  This is so easy to use and clean AND it makes tea, latte, and hot chocolate too!!!  My brother and mother in law were so impressed they got one!  I would have given this machine 5 stars but it doesn't have a reusable T-disc so you can use any store bought espresso.
