 Happy Coffee / great for entertaining November 14, 2008
We love this machine! It is quick, clean, quiet.... fabulous. We have done all the combinations of the coffee flavors available. The cappaccino is unbelievable, it is a two step process unlike other machines so it is so authentic in flavor and look. It came with a great recipe book for more creative coffee beverages that has us really inspired. We do look forward to more flavored coffees to be introduced though as it is limited.
dont loose the puncture thingy September 5, 2008

I bought this because it is the only system with a quality coffe to go with it (starbucks). This is actually better than I thought. It really makes a great cup of coffee; equivalent to the brew from starbucks.
HOWEVER the "capuccio" system from Gevalia is only OK. I prefer to just add milk rather than that disk.
BE CAREFUL because there is a piece of plastic which punctured the disk to allow it to work and which can come off when you remove the disk at the end and get it thrown out. The company answered the phone promptly; wanted 10 bucks for a replacement; I complained and now they are sending a free replacement. I will be more careful about that puncture device.
Love it August 21, 2008

It's easy to use. It's fun to use. The coffee is fresh and superb. Your experience will vary based on the type of coffee but, for example, I find the Starbucks Verona to be on par with a fresh cup from the store! Would definitely buy again.

Received this product from you and it was defective.
Called Tassimo and they did trouble shooting with me and
said it was defective. It wouldn't work. Had to return it.
Disappointed.
 So far I like it June 21, 2008

I did a lot of research on the machines & discs/pods, & read most of the reviews, good & bad, on the Braun Tassimo, Keurig & Senseo machines, plus a few cheap ones. The only thing that held me off was the few bad reviews/complaints. But I finally ended up getting this Tassimo, even though it was more expensive, for the reason that it does everything. The other machines I looked at mainly do only coffee or coffee & tea, while this unit does coffee, latte, cappuccino, tea & hot chocolate. I didn't get it to make coffee, I got it to make everything with a single system.
There is little to no clean up (rinsing the pierce unit after a milk disc & emptying the drip cup takes only seconds), no pot to clean, no grounds, no pouring water into the unit (& all over the counter) because the clear water container snaps off for rinsing/filling, & there are 3 stores in my area (& I live in a very small town) that carry the discs plus I also ordered some from CoffeeForLess, which arrived quickly. The sound doesn't bother me either, as others have mentioned, because it lasts only a few moments, & I was already used to the coffee machine at work which grinds the beans (& sounds like an airplane taking off). I like being able to drink something different every day & have recommended this unit to friends.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the price (more than the others) & the size (just wish it was a little smaller).
One final note - I mentioned this machine to the Doctors where I work & they immediately decided to get one for our lounge & also considering it for the lobby out front for the patients to use to have a variety of drinks available.
