• Drip cup can be removed so you can put a travel sized mug under
• Easy to clean
• Inexpensive
• Small Footprint
• Makes great cappuccinos and lattes. The flavors are always very rich, smooth and has lots of froth
• Hot chocolate also comes out perfect
• Easy to use
• Very functional yet simple
• Sleek design
• The barcode reader allows for a no-fail drink
• Lots of drink options: tea, cappuccino, hot chocolate, lattes

 Some things to consider:   

• Doesn’t come with any free T-discs
• Does not have water purifying system
• too slow to make drinks for a group
• Should be cleaned immediately if milk is used because there always seem to be leftover milk around the area where the creamer disc sits
• Always have to empty the bottom of the cup holder as this can accumulate a lot of overflow water
• T-discs variants are rather limited
• The T-discs are a little bit more pricey
• Sometimes the T-discs could not be “read” through the barcode and drinks have to be made manually
• Refills are hard to find

Summary:Despite the limitation on the availability of the refills or the choices of flavors of the T-discs or Tassimo discs, the flavor that the available ones does produce using this machine is excellent. It does take a while to brew coffee and many owners, though they absolutely recommend this, advise that you keep it as a secondary coffee maker if you want a real quick cup in the morning. Tassimo Machine is perfect for making different drinks for guests, visiting family or for making hot-beverages throughout the day. Since it can make hot chocolate, even the kids will love this. This Single Serve Coffee Maker , having a small footprint, is great in the bedroom, the sitting room or in your office. If you are a heavy coffee drinker, always order a few weeks in advance because processing orders for refills can take a while. Highly recommended for the flavor and quality of the hot beverage it produces for such a low cost. An absolute bargain.
