TASSIMO: the New Way to the Perfect Cup of Coffee

Yes, that's right. I have discovered the way to achieve a perfect cup of coffee, every single time. Not just coffee, either; I can make a lovely hot chocolate, a tasty cappuccino, bold espresso, a fabulous cup of tea, and so the list goes. So how do I make these delicious drinks? I use my brand new Tassimo, of course.

The Tassimo is a coffee making system manufactured by Braun. Tassimo's claim to fame is that it has the ability to brew one beverage at a time, in about a minute, with virtually no mess. You see, Tassimo uses something called T-discs. These T-discs contain precise amounts of coffee, tea, chocolate, or milk, and are sealed to maintain flavor and freshness. The T-disc is inserted into the machine, which reads a barcode printed on the T-disc itself.

The barcode lets Tassimo know what drink it is preparing, allowing it to heat to the proper temperature, use the correct amount of water, and brew for the appropriate amount of time. Press the button, and your drink begins to brew. All brewing actually occurs right inside the T-disc. What does this mean for you? There will be no clean up required!

I have found that there are several benefits to using the Tassimo. For one, the beverages are high quality and delicious. There are a wide variety of beverages available, as well, including many types of coffees, espressos, cappuccinos, lattes, teas, and hot chocolates. The cappuccinos and lattes actually contain real milk! Another real benefit is the convenience of making only one cup of coffee at a time.

As I live alone, it makes much more sense this way; I never drank a whole pot of coffee alone! Everyone will love the fact that Tassimo involves basically no clean up whatsoever. It doesn't take up very much counter space at all, and it is compatible with virtually any size coffee cup/mug/travel cup.

I purchased my Tassimo at Bed Bath and Beyond for $169.00. It is also sold at stores such as Macy's and Best Buy. T-discs are available at the same stores. They are also available for order online directly from the Tassimo website, which is very convenient since shipping is free for orders over $30.
