 Written on September 5, 2008 Summary: this machine ceases to work after 2-3 years I've owned two Tassimo machines. Both died after 2-3 years. One is left with a useless bulky machine sitting on the kitchen counter and lots of useless environmentally horrible little plastic coffee pods. Save your money and get a simple decent drip coffeemaker at half the price that will last many years longer.  Written on August 29, 2008 Summary: coffee sources, tall mugs work, self-cleaning, and great company! I have had 2 Tassimos coffee systems and many other coffee makers. The 1200 and the 1400 are wonderful. I order t-discs from Tassimo and Gevalia online. No wasted half pot of coffee thrown out when household members don't wake up at the same time. One minute to make and the coffee doesn't get stale in its packages. The coffee is delivered to my door and on my timing. I sent my machine to college with my daughter, as the pot is in the common area, but she keeps most t-discs put away. If they want coffeee, they can buy their own discs and that is a wonderful way to share a machine without subsidizing the entire floor. One can also make hot water for soup, etc. One can remove the inner grate and place most tall mugs into it, so one may still use the steam/disbursed water catcher. The newer models don't make as much noise as the old ones, AND the company replaced one that didn't get the water hot enough, without any question! I've used mine since they hit the U.S., too. This is the first time I felt compelled to review a consumer item! It's that good. P.S. I use espresso discs and manually dispense more hot water. It's a good cup of coffee made at the correct temperature. Written on August 28, 2008 Summary: Might as well brew your own I have the Keurig single cup at home and the Tassimo at work and there is no comparison between the two. I love the Keurig and hate the Tassimo. The Keurig is always ready to brew with no wait. The Tassimo has to warm up and heat the water first. Plus, the Tassimo rarely correctly reads the bar code on the T-discs. I've had 4 cups of coffee today and had to manually (holding down the brew button for the duration of the brewing process) make each one with the Tassimo. In short, the Keurig is a hassle-free, coffee on demand product. The Tassimo is a wait a couple a couple minutes for water to heat up, hold down the button while the cup brews product. I would not recommend the Tassimo to anyone. Written on August 26, 2008 Summary: LOVE LOVE LOVE Tassimo I can't imagine starting my day without coffee from my Tassimo machine. I have literally worn my old machine out and am buying a new one today. In about 6 months, and if it is still here at $99, I will buy another one and just keep it until I wear this one out, which I expect to. I am so happy that Super Target also carries the coffee so I can buy it whenever I need it. I love Amazon.com. They seem to have whatever I need, right in stock, and at no shipping cost if over $50. Thank you, Amazon.com!!! Written on August 23, 2008 Summary: Marginal Product, Horrible Customer Service After reading all of the reviews I was so excited to try this machine. We have had a Senseo single cup for about 3 years and love it. (We use Java Podz for a strong, European cup of Java.) My daughter is heading off to college and is taking the Senseo with her, so I decided to see what new and improved options existed. I received the Tassimo and the coffee was basic, but nowhere near as good as what I am used to. But the real benefit of the Tassimo was that we would be able to make chai latte (which I love) and cappuccino-type drinks with the milk. Another disappointment. The milk product adds a plastic taste to the drinks; everyone in the family agreed. Finally, after the 3rd day, the machine stopped working. It wouldn't puncture the discs, so we simply got cups of hot water, and water leaking all over the counter. When I called Tassimo, they said someone would call and they would send out a box and a label to return the product. Two days later, I got a call giving me the address to which I would need to send the product back - at my expense!! No box, no label. I requested a supervisor and was given all kinds of excuses to dissuade me from speaking to one. They were "busy", they would "call me back," there was "nothing they could do." I insisted on holding, as long as it took. When I gave the name and badge number (Sheldon 601234) of the person who told me that I would get a box and label, the supervisor (Tammy, in Canada) just kept repeating, "I apologize, but I can't give you that." No matter what I said or asked, that was the robotic, repeated response. So frustrating. Even if that response didn't answer the question - she was obviously programmed to simply repeat the "policy." An empty "apology" and no help is not worth anything. So, basically, I paid about $25 for 2 cups of sub-par coffee and chai, plus all the set-up and cleaning time, not to mention the time and effort of packing up and shipping back the defective unit. Avoid Tassimo direct online at all costs, and if you STILL think this system may be for you, do yourself a favor and buy locally at a place with an excellent return policy, because odds are you will need to return it. I wish I would have paid more attention to the people who reported their unit also malfunctioned and the coffee was so-so. Instead, I focused on my fantasy perfect cappuccino which never materialized. A new, "improved" unit comes out in a week or so, "which has worked out the bugs and problems." By their own admission, they've had to redesign this. Hopefully the new system actually does work consistently and makes a better tasting cup of coffee. As for me, I'm getting another tried-and-true Senseo at half the price. |
