Fresh coffee in an instant

Advantages: A huge variety of drinks
Disadvantages: Some of the drinks are too small

...searching, the owner of a Bosch Tassimo coffee machine. Our cheap filter coffee machine packed in so we have been relying on the cafetiere, which is great but you are left with bits of coffee at the bottom of your mug! I have read so many reviews on coffee machines and still couldn't make up my mind. I looked at a variety of machines in shops but they were often very bulky. The filter coffee machines in the past have always been good but I wanted ...
..."a starbucks at home idea." *** Three weeks ago we are again staring at the coffee machine shelf in John Lewis and noticed the Tassimo. It was compact, pleasing to eye and offered a huge variety of coffees, hot chocolates and teas. It was also fairly reasonably price at £97 although I see now you could purchase it cheaper from Amazon. An impulse purchase and we bought the red one. We get home open the box but no freebie discs. How annoying we really ...

Review of Bosch TAS4011GB

A COMMON SENSE(O) COFFEE MACHINE

Advantages: Super fast coffee delivery, Lovely fresh flavour, Compact design
Disadvantages: Pod's can be expensive if you do not shop around; Water tank needs to be filled with hot water

...eventually decided upon was the Philips Senseo - a fine looking pod based machine that sounded easy to use, simple to clean and the pods were not overly expensive but were readily available. A little price comparison work and I found one ready to take home for little more than thirty pounds. What is in the box? Firstly – and of course most importantly – you get the machine itself; measuring a touch over twelve inches in height it takes up little ...
...decided upon is finished in finest black plastic and metal, although there are silver, blue and red variations available to match personal taste and colour schemes. Next out of the box comes the water tank, easy to fill via the tap it holds one and a half pints and slots effortlessly onto the back of the unit. A couple of pod holders come next, the first deep enough to hold one pod while the second is designed to accommodate two pods – ideal for ...

Review of Philips HD 7810/60/61/69 Senseo Black

The Alpha and Omega of All Coffee-Makers

Advantages: Great lattes and easy automatic cleaning function. Adjusts to almost any cup height.
Disadvantages: Expensive and parts get stuck sometimes.

The Philips HD 7850/60/61 Senseo Latte Select B is a good addition to the kitchen, provided you really love lattes. It is quite stylish and black, which is a plus in my opinion, and it's also pretty small, so it fits in my tiny kitchen. It's by far the most chic coffee-maker I've ever come across and it has a few add-ons which make it very easy to operate. It filters coffee very quickly ( 30 seconds) and it has and automatic turn off, both of which ...
...Actually, in my opinion, quick is the only way to go when you want coffee, because you are usually drinking it in the mornings before work. It makes a wonderful latte in my opinion, but I've found the capuccinos and latte machiato to be tasty as well/ It will also make cafe lattes and just plain old coffee. The add-ons I mentioned previously are unusually helpful, as coffee makers go. It has strength settings for the coffee, so when you stay out ...

Review of Philips HD 7850/60/61/63/67/68/69 Senseo La

Why has the price doubled??

Advantages: Excellent Coffee and Easy to Use
Disadvantages: Price of machine (now anyway)

We have Flavia machines at work which is how I was introduced to them, and having tried them and loved them I decided to buy one for myself, so I purchased the Flavia Fusion (Black) and I loved it. I even introduced my mum and dad to them and now they want a machine too. Everyone who has tried the coffee from this machine, loved it, and the fact your can do creamy topping on it too, is excellent. The range of sachets is excellent too. However, ...
...doubled since I bought one, as I paid approx £80 for mine and now they are £150. I also got a free starter pack and you have to pay for those now. What the deal with that, I am so disappointed, as you would expect the price to come down not go up. ;o(( ...

Review of Flavia Fusion Black/RED/BLUE

JUST ONE MORE CUP PLEASE !!!!

Advantages: East to use and clean
Disadvantages: Running costs

...The Braun TA1200 tasimo is very similar in size and appearance to a standard coffee maker but with a few major differences.Unlike a standard coffee maker there is no awkward filter that you have to clean and replace and you no longer have to measure out and adjust the amount of coffee you need to make the perfect hot beverage. With an easy to use interface and a simple to use one button activation system the tassimo is quick and easy to use.A modern ...
...to any kitchen. The Disc System- The main advantage of this product is the easy to use tassimo disc system.You simply select your required disc and place it into the disc holder situated on the front of the unit.When you close the disc holder a barcode scanner reads the barcode on the disc and selects the required settings automatically to deliver the perfect beverages in less than 30 seconds.Once completed you simply remove the used disc and dispose ...
