 Written on October 28, 2008 Summary: Super Duper I brought the machine for a family tryout and we all love the machine. Not even one complaint. From the youngest to the eldest we all found it was easy to use and it's so very fabulous!!! Oh I guess I should mention the flavors are savory. My favorite is Seattle's best. What an awsome start for my day! Carl Written on October 15, 2008 Summary: Variety is the spice of life The below entry was originally entered under my wifes account. Sorry for the confusion and the duplication. I got the Tassimo two years ago as a wedding present. Not much of a cofee drinker but I will make myself a cup every once in awhile. The great thing is that you can buy so many different varieties of hot beverages and everyone is happy. No more brewing a cup of Decaf for one person and regular for the next. It takes about a minute per brew and everyone is happy. The pod fills about half a cup so you should plan on using two pods per person. I really like the hot choclate and the espresso. We have never had a mechanical problem and it is super easy to clean up.  Written on October 14, 2008 Summary: Beware the ordering system! (one star for that only) More than once, on-line orders have been very late. Why? Because something is out of stock. Does anyone bother to let you know so you could make a substitution? Absolutely not. Several times ordering by phone has also been problematic, once for the above reason (again, no email, no call, nothing), and twice because our order was "rejected" for no apparent reason. It was definitely not a problem with the credit card, but they couldn't explain what else it could have been. Great coffee maker, lousy delivery system. We've asked for shipments to go to the PO Box we use, so they come to our home. We ask for them to come to our home, they go to the PO Box. Does anyone there know what they're doing? You talk to a supervisor who says, "You were supposed to get a letter telling you the order didn't go through." No letter. Same supervisor says she will follow through and make sure the new order goes through. She doesn't, because it doesn't. You call and they can't find any record of an order having been made. Very frustrating! Written on October 4, 2008 Summary: Get the Bosch not the Braun system First off, I love the Tassimo system. Very easy to use and a broad range of choices as far as beverages. I just wish they gave you a true sampler pack, as there are a lot of different vendors and flavors within a brand. I purchased a bunch of different discs and like the Gevalia Latte and Chai Latte. I would match the Chai Latte with anything out on the market, including Starbucks. Put some whipping creme on top, wonderful. Ok, with that being said, get the BOSCH system from Tassimo, not this one. The BOSCH system is much quieter, much cleaner, not as messy and a lot easier to use. The BOSCH has a little handle on the water container and the lid doesn't fall into the container as easily. It also isn't as finicky as when you put the disc in and how long it takes to heat the water. Finally, the Bosch system is cleaner, as in it doesn't leak where the disc rests as does the Braun. Did I mention get the Bosch and not this one? The Bosch Tassimo system drink height adjustment is much better, too. The controls are easier to understand and use. If I hadn't bought the second Bosch for my office, I would have been moderately happy with the Braun system. It brews a nice hot cup of coffee and/or tea. The flavor of the coffee and teas are quite good. BRAUN PROS: Easy to use, like the filter, makes a nice hot cup of coffee. BRAUN NEGATIVES: Lid on water container could be better, this one tends to easily slip into the container. Its kind of loud, Bosch is much quieter. The cup adjustment isn't very good, but you can remove it for taller cups. The button for heating and 'auto' mode is finicky. I've had to unplug it a couple of times so it resets properly. Probably my fault as I should read the instructios--but not a problem with the Bosch. Comment: You really should try the different coffees and teas as they are different. I like Caribou Coffee, and thus a milder african blend. Gevalia is very good as well as the tea. The Maxwell house has more of a bite to it. My wife likes strong coffee and enjoyed the Seattle's Best. As others have mentioned, the hot chocolate is like the cheap stuff you get at a highschool football game made with hot water. You can improve upon it by using a 'latte' or 'capuccino' disc. My kids, five year old daughter and nine year old son LOVE the hot chocolate. So, since its for them, I can't really complain. I only tasted it. You can also improve upon the hot chocolate by getting the whipping creme in a can and spraying a healthy layer on top. Actually, what wouldn't taste better with a lot of whipping creme on top. Anyway, hot chocolate is a huge success with the kids, but not me. I love the hot chai tea--did I mention that? Finally, if you can, splurge on the cups and lids from Tassimo. Part of the coffee enjoyment is holding a warm cup of coffee in your hands--its tactile, too. So if you usually drink coffee from a coffee shop, you can simulate the feel of the cup by buying the cups and special lids from Tassimo. I found that this does help add to the feeling of enjoying a good cup of coffee. Also, if you're using a porcelain or other type of normal cup, its usually cool and will cool the coffee down as its poured into the cup--just something to think about. So, thumbs up on the Tassimo system, just get the Bosch and not the Braun--hopefully I've made my point. . Written on October 3, 2008 Summary: Very Good Product We did a lot of research before making this purchase. We weighed all the pros and cons and selected the Braun Tassimo. We are very pleased with our purchase. It works exactly as advertised and produces a great beverage in a short time. Our only issue is the lack of availability of beverages at our local stores. Of course this is not an issue with the Tassimo itself but it is inconvenient to have to order online and pay shipping. |
