WTD a tassimo coffee maker

Want the bosch one .......but locostish price..
something like http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TASSIMO-TAS4011GB-COFFEE-MAKER-BOSCH_W0QQitemZ280444988520QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoffee_Machines_Makers?hash=item414bd2ec68#ht_1087w t_958

Yes I know they sometimes don't read the bar code and the t pods cost more ...but if you use a filter 0r other the avoidance of the mess and clogging of the drain is well worth the premium.
so leads to a good source of these machines.

Or if you have one collecting dust ......

tassimo are crap ours went in the bin. get a nespresso machine the coffee is 100x better. thats all i have to say about that

this is the one we have got it even comes with a milk warmer/bubbler thingy thats really good.

Click

they cos £130 but you get a voucher inside for £40 worth of free coffee so it makes the machine £90 which isnt too bad considering it comes with a 3year warranty and all the bells & whistles

Hi, I bought the missus a red bosch one for xmas last year it been used every day since and she'd kill me if i got rid as she loves the suchard hot chocolate, quite partial to some of the coffees myself, we live in a very hard water area so its needed descaling three times. sometimes it doesnt read the code but you just clean the window and move the pod a bit
I havent tried any others but ours is great so i would recommend them
got ours from currys direct if it helps

Crikes ashg thats almost as bad as the ipod for tie downs to a said product. price 3x higher and all tied to one source....


One of the prime reasons is my father in law gets pods in bulk at a low cost price

As we live in Scotland the water is not a problem........most likely we have to bloody much of the stuff thanks raylee

Are these the units that use little sealed plastic pouches of coffee or cocoa mix?

A good friend has one, they're perfect for the office where you're in a hurry and multiple users can't be counted on to clean up after themselves but I prefer to grind my own at home, better bean selection and more control over strength -- the machines can't really do a decent espresso.

But I like my espresso strong enough to hold the spoon up, and can't be bothered with fancy flavoured coffees.

We use a filter and the paper filter and grounds go straight in the compost bin together nowhere near the drains.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Yeah, cheap perculator, Alidi coffee. A great start to the morning

Make is resonable strength with 3 sugars and it makes a great lactulose solution

We use the Aldi Arabica rich roast and it's lovely stuff. We use a cafetiere when away camping and it leaves a bit of sediment but alright for one off use.
