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.
