Review
The Bosch Tassimo is a clever machine with it’s T DISC technology it prepares the drink via the placement of a capsule into the best espresso machine – it’ll scan the capsule and prepare the drink. It’ll manage the water, temperature, pressure and even brewing time – very clever indeed. The taste of the drinks that the unit produces are generally very good with a wide range available from many top brands. The artificial taste is not present with the discs or I just haven’t come across any that have them yet.
The Tassimo has a built in water filter which allows for very pure drinks, this is done with a brita water filter located at the rear of the unit. The water tank is removable and easily filled. The Tassimo includes a flow heater which means there is almost no wait for the machine to get up to temperature.
The styling of the unit is sleek with titanium colour and as an opinion would look good in any kitchen, but this is down to the style of your kitchen however.
The Tassimo has an LCD display and while many people many feel that it serves no real purpose I beg to differ as it displays information such as, brewing processes, empty water tank warning, and a de-scaling light.
The Tassimo is a very good piece of kit and it’s probably the best in it’s market, a very solid unit that does everything it promises. The only thing, capsules can be expensive if you are drinking a lot of hot drinks everyday, so perhaps it’s not well suited to larger families.
