TASSIMOTASTIC! Review ofBraun TA 1200 Tassimo Silver/Blackby
mrbonner
Advantages: Hot drinks in 60 seconds, No mess. Disadvantages: Noise, Price ,build quality
PLEASE NOTE! This is a long review. The tassimo will not appeal to the hardened coffee fan!
I have wanted one of theese tassimo machines since they first hit the market. However having just set up home i could not afford one. the story begins with the death of my beloved Russell Hobbs coffee maker due to miss use! Let this be a lesson to descale your appliances & to clean the milk off the frother nossle as this is what busted my old coffee maker.

Fancy a Brew Review ofBraun TA 1200 Tassimo Silver/Blackby
phoenix221984
Advantages: Looks fantastic, makes perfect drinks Disadvantages: Cost of drink refills
I absolutely adore my Tassimo, it was a spur of the moment buy whilst I was in Argos looking for a gift. I got it in silver to match the rest of my kitchen appliances. I thought it was a fair price, I paid £99.99, I know it seems quite expensive for a brewing machine but as well as basic coffee you can have cappuccino's, latte's, tea and even hot chocolate. I thought it was a bargain.
With my Tassimo I got the machine (obviously), a cleaning disc, ...

Advantages: Easy to use. Good drink quality. Hard to find a hot choc maker Disadvantages: Limited to available T-Discs, making 4 or 5 drinks would be quicker with a standard filter coffee machine.
I love my Tassimo!
OK, I must confess I am addicted to hot chocolate! I have been looking for a hot chocolate machine for a long time and then along came Tassimo.
For £99 (now around £79) i thought it was a little pricey but I decided to go for it anyway.
I got my machine from Argos, after opening the box there is a minimum of setup required - remove the protective cardboard, put the water container on the back, run through some water to ...

Advantages: Excellent quality cuppa every time! Disadvantages: won't fit in my back pocket to take to my friends house!
My partner had to redeem himself big style at Christmas after buying me a pair of carpet slippers even my granny wouldn't wear last year, and he certain did with the Tassimo.
The black and silver machine fits nicely in the corner of my kitchen standing approx 30 cm high, width and breadth 25cm x 25cm (just higher than a slimline kettle and the width of two slimline kettles).
Its easy to clean and easy to use (my nine year old son loves to use ...

Advantages: Makes a nice coffee Disadvantages: cartriges too expensive,weak design, good for only a couple of cups at a time
When the Braun Tassimo was being advertised on telly on almost every break, I have to admit I was well inticed !
Most of all cos of the list of drinks available, and also because it looked so good on the telly and matched my Braun toaster and kettle !
COST OF MACHINE
I did a lot of shopping around and at first it was costing approx 99 pounds but finally i got a bargain at 72 pounds from the Tesco website with free delivery and also earned some ...

Advantages: Quick tasty drinks, easy to use. Disadvantages: Leaks water without warning. Occasionally gets confused
...worktop - I wrote to Braun about this, but they did not bother to reply.
The pods are quite pricey, and the quantity in a box has reduced, but they must be value for money, as we keep going back for more. We bought some pods on the web, and several milks had leaked, but replacements were quickly sent. Now we stick to supermarkets...
... and we keep using it ! ...

Advantages: Easy to use, no hassle, cleaning is simple, wide variety of beverages Disadvantages: Cost of "T-Discs"
No Hassle, Great Tasty Beverages, Easy to Clean!
The Tassimo! Where would I be without this delightful asset. My entire family loves a good hot beverage, and I'm sure many other family's thoroughly enjoy their hot beverages too, either if it's during working, or leisure. Being a Caffeine Addict, I drink on average 5-6 cups of instant coffee per day, continuously drinking the same beverage day in and day out can becoming boring. Every household is ...

Advantages: Quick and eay to use. Disadvantages: Expensive to keep going
Like many others, I can't start the day without a caffeine hit. But being very lazy, I can never be bothered or never seem to have the time to boil the kettle, put the coffee in the cup, get the milk etc etc
With the Tassimo things are so much easier. I just have to lift up the lid, slip in the pod of my chosen drink and press auto and bingo there it is - a nice hot drink.
It is easy to set up and use. The water container is at the back of the ...

Advantages: Fast, ease of use, range of drinks, perfect taste everytime Disadvantages: Should be cleaned every 8 coffees
The Tassimo is absolutely great. Me and my wife have wanted one since we first saw it, being coffee addicts, but couldn't afford it for a while. However, once a sale was on, we couldn't resist and spent approximately £80 of our hard-earned cash on one. We have now had it for about a year, and haven't regretted the decision even once.
We love how fast and easy it is to make coffee now! No fuss, no mess, just nice coffee, time and again. No need for ...

Cool coffee Review ofBraun TA 1200 Tassimo Silver/Blackby
lenni36
Advantages: Looks good on the worktop Disadvantages: Coffee not hot enough
I received a Tassimo as a present last christmas. I had wanted one for months so was delighted when I got one! I had been given all the different pods of coffee and hot chocolate to try out so was ecstactic! I tried a few of the coffee pods including the medium roast, cappucino and the decaf, I also tried the hot chocolate. The decaf and medium roast is ok if you like weak warm coffee and the cappucino just about fills half a mug again only warm. ...

Advantages: Great Hot Choccy !! Disadvantages: Splatters over the worktop a bit
...seemed to be for the Braun - and the price was really good - £69.99 - so I indulged myself - and doesn't it look nice in the kitchen!!
I plugged in, spent ages working out how to use it (I'm pretty poor on technical achievements ......) and enjoyed my first 'cup' of cappuccino. What a disappointment - the 'milk' supplied to make it frothy tastes absolutely disgusting, and the size of cup achieved was the size for a childrens tea party.

Advantages: Quick & easy to use. A good range of drinks available. Easy to clean. Disadvantages: Discs are a bit pricey. Between about 18p and 33p a cup.
I had one of these given as a Christmas gift (at my request) and after 3 months of use I would fight to the death anyone who tried to take it from me.
So far I have tried the Classic coffee, the Cafe Crema, Twinings breakfast tea, Cappucino, Espresso, Caffe Latte macchiato, Suchard Chocolate drink (yum), Green tea with mint and the latest addition - Caffe Crema Intenso from Carte Noire.
I love them all with the exception of the Caffe Crema, it's ...

Quick review of Braun TA 1200 Tassimo Silver/Black Review ofBraun TA 1200 Tassimo Silver/Blackby
jitka999
I finally got my partner to buy me this magic machine for christmas. he didn't want it as it was another 'useless rubbish taking up place in the kitchen'. he changed his mind very quickly after I made him first cup of latte. Now we both enjoy at least a cuppa a day. This machine is amazing!!!!!! The quality of the drinks is superb. My favourite is suchards hot chocolate but I make evry one of the drinks available. the selection is very good, not like with majority of coffee machines, which make only a few different drinks. If you like a good cup of coffee or tea, you can't do without this baby :-) !!!!!

Advantages: Really useful and a great investment Quick, easy and good range of drinks available Disadvantages: no horlicks
For a good quality coffee machine I thought I'd have to pay the earth. So I was very pleased when I was introduced to Tassimo via Tesco's. It's amazingly efficient, good value and makes a fantastic range of really good quality drinks; and it looks good too. With so many great drinks to choose from I feel I can satisfy all my taste whims. (shame no horlick's)
Tassimo is so fast that for the first time ever I get to treat myself to a hot drink in ...
