Oh, and it takes less than a minute to make a cup of whatever your heart desires. so far, we really really like it. Clean up is a snap.The only complaint I really have about it is the steam overflow. I'm not a morning person so I usually skip the coffee in the morning, although I love it. I run the expresso disc through twice before running the latte milk disc so I can add a little vanilla creamer to it - yummm.Who needs sleep when you have the Tassimo. ANYWAY. YUM.
Starbucks gets expensive. The LOVE the vanilla milk there). enter the Tassimo.I saw this on a show with Martha Stewart last Fall, but really didn't think much about it. if you are filling a travel mug, you take the platform out, so the water rushes out under your cup.
I've had ths machine for a while now so I figured I'd do a little "review" on it here. The hot chocolate is AMAZING. The lattes are great (but I'm a latte girl). :-) It is a little on the loud side, but it froths. but this thing ROCKS. BUT. So that means, we end up going to Starbucks (my kids recognize the Starbucks sign like most recognize the golden arches, okay. There's a small hole where the steam/water overflows.
didn't really consider getting it or anything. It was a bit of a pain to set up and go through the cleaning procedure, but it makes a single serving of coffee, lattes, cappucino, hot tea, hot chocolate. It's caught in the little platform where your cup sits. I just stick a towel under my cup to catch it, but it is annoying considering how easy the rest of the machine is to use.
I have had this machine for a little over 2 years,just out of warrenty,.It will only make about half a cup of coffee so I tried to get it repaired.$95 to fix it and I cant buy parts so now I have to buy a new one,It wont be Tassimo.
To this add one pump 0f Starbuck's caramel syrup and a tad of sugar. But I found that I did not like the taste of the included milk disk. I've used the TA1400 for a year now, and just recently bought the newer (Bosch) Tassimo due to its smaller footprint.When I first bought the 1400 I couldn't wait to try the latte. Use a battery operated milk foamer (you can get one at Target for $10, or at BB&B for $20). My solution: Heat 8oz. whole milk in the micro. Then pop in a Gavelia espresso, put your cup on the tray, and in a few seconds you have a latte every bit as good as Starbuck's with minimal fuss.I love my Tassimo. I don't think that the t-disks are expensive, can get them everywhere (Target even), and Gavalia Crema is divine.
Great machine and coffee better than Starbucks. Only issue we have with this machine is that it is very noisy. Other than that awesome.
We are absolutely happy with this machine. A little slow on heating up as I understand compared to the new one. It is LOW maintenance- easy to clean, practically nothing to clean. Just dump the high pressure overflow cup and rinse the nozzle and go. My wife picked this one over the new one because the 1400 she says makes better foamm but a little louder. If I could find another one of these at this price I'd buy it for the office.I only gave it 4 stars becauseof the slow heating.
