Tassimo: The Best Coffee Maker EVER
Does your coffee maker meet your morning needs? Having a great brewer can start your morning off right, which can lead to having better days all around. If you're not 100% satisfied with your morning friend (the coffee maker), then you should consider learning more about my favorite system. It's called the Tassimo and in my opinion it's the best coffee maker EVER!
I'm head-over-heels in love with my Tassimo. It's the most amazing machine to ever rest on my kitchen counter. I would even say it's the love of my life (Shhh! don't tell my husband). Let me tell you about my coffee journey and how I came to love the Tassimo.
I am a Coffee Addict
I will be the first to admit, I am a coffee addict. After my first son was born I had many sleepless nights. Coffee became my best friend. I must have coffee to wake up and function in the morning. A few years ago, a local coffee shop became my inspiration to get out of bed in the morning. I would dream about my favorite latte or cappuccino, and felt encouraged to push the covers back to start the day. The Tassimo coffee maker actually allows me to make coffee shop quality drinks effortlessly in my kitchen. Coffee shop quality specialty drinks without leaving your home, who knew?

The High-end Espresso Machine Experience
A few years ago my husband bought me a high-end espresso machine. I was so excited about this new addition to our family. I had dreams of becoming a barista right in my kitchen. In the beginning, I was brewing espresso and steaming milk like there was no tomorrow. It was amazing to have a fresh cappuccino or latte. But after awhile, using that coffee maker became a chore. I would dread getting out of bed, half asleep just to pretend to be a kitchen barista. I just wanted a hot cup of coffee in my hand so I could get going!

My Search for the Perfect Coffee Maker
After having the fancy espresso machine for less than a year, I decided enough was enough. I went searching for something better. We previously owned a Keurig coffee machine, so that was an enticing option. During my time with the espresso maker, I developed an addiction to steamed milk (to add to my previous coffee addiction, just what I needed!). My morning drink of choice is a latte or cappuccino. The Keurig simply couldn't meet my needs. I even considered buying a Keurig and a separate device to steam the milk. Now this mission was getting expensive and bulk

Tassimo to the Rescue
I was walking through Bed, Bath and Beyond scratching my head in complete confusion. There were just too many coffee maker choices. Not to mention, this decision was REALLY IMPORTANT to my future sanity. Low and behold, I stumbled across a fancy little coffee machine called a "Tassimo". They even had a video playing, for crying out loud! How cool did this coffee machine look? The Tassimo had the simplicity of the Keurig, but it also offered something not available with the Keurig. The Tassimo also makes cappuccinos and lattes. That means I didn't have to buy two products to get my desired drink. It was a miracle.

Here's how it works: All you do is take a little disc (T-disc with barcode), put it in the machine, close the lid and push the go button and voila you get your favorite drink. Another cool thing about the Tassimo is that you can adjust the strength of your coffee. It's totally customizable. You can make a strong, small cup of coffee or a large, weak cup of coffee. Pick your poison, as the old saying goes. It's that simple. Oh Tassimo, where have you been all my life?
T-disc options include:
• Coffee,
• Espresso,
• Tea,
• Milk (for lattes and cappuccinos)
• Hot chocolate

I know everyone is different, so let me give you the low-down on the Tassimo. I'll give you both pros and cons to let you be the judge. Take into consideration what you're looking for in a coffee maker. What's important to you? Does this home brewing system have everything you want and need?

o Tassimo uses barcode system. The machine actually knows if it's brewing a cup of coffee, a shot of espresso or steamed milk for a latte. No other system does that.
• Makes delicious drinks using T-discs.

Tassimo Cons
While I love my Tassimo, I will admit there is room for improvement.
• Not many stores carry T-discs.
o Target and Bed, Bath and Beyond are always well stocked.
• Limited coffee brands available.
o Not as many options as offered with Keurig or on the regular coffee aisle.
o No Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts brands if you love those.
• Must be used exclusively with T-discs.
o You don't have the option to buy a regular bag of coffee and enjoy it as you can with the Keurig.
• Buying T-discs can get expensive.
o Although the cost of the T-discs is more expensive than a standard bag of coffee, it's much less expensive than a coffee shop drink and just as delicious.
