Cold? Have a Cup of Tassimo

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tarrant

This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Tassimo.

When the Tassimo coffee system arrived, I wasn’t home. I immediately received a text-get home now-the Tassimo arrived! Needless to say, we sort of bounced about the Tassimo. Off and on for the past few years, we considered getting a single cup coffee maker. I like my coffee fresh. I like coffee drinks.

The main coffee consumer in the house prefers to make a pot and reheat it in the microwave. The over-sized cup a fixture in our lives-wouldn’t fit or didn’t appear to fit in most of the single cup coffee maker options. It will fit in the Tassimo-you can even adjust for extra tall travel mugs.

When company came over-we faced the “Do we make a fresh pot and dump out a half pot of coffee?” or the one I cringed at “offer to microwave them a cup” -question. Now, I can offer them a chai, a hot chocolate, a cup of coffee, or a specialty drink, and honestly say “No, no trouble at all.” Nice, on a cold winter day to not make someone feel like they are putting you out, when you offer them a warm drink.

I opened the Tassimo. I pondered the filter for the water-I have become spoiled and love the filtered fridge water. The machine was smaller than the box made it look. It tucks tidily next to my microwave and hardly eats any counter space…nice in our small kitchen.

I changed my morning routine to include a cup of coffee now that I could have a perfect, no mess cappuccino in less time than it takes to load my email. My family is glad that I won’t be spreading coffee grounds and spraying milk all over the kitchen. I have done this when we tried espresso machines in the past. The coffee grounds-a constant problem for me with a regular pot-not with the Tassimo.

We have a friend -cue my children saying: “You have friends?”; who needs computer help or just invites us over to visit from time to time. We love to visit her and she always makes a pot of coffee. She lives alone. I doubt she makes a pot of coffee, except when we come over or her family visits. I feel a bit guilty as she pours our coffee. I know she worked to put on a pot. I know she won’t be drinking it all day. I know she makes it because she knows we are coffee drinkers.

The Tassimo would be perfect for her cup of coffee from time to time, for visiting friends and family that drink coffee. We may just have to give her one or prod her daughters to give her one. I won’t re-gift mine though-you won’t be able to pry it away from us. We have already ordered refills. These are very cost efficient when you break it down by cup and consider the no waste, no mess, and no special dishes to wash part.

You can win one of your very own-you definitely want one-because it isn’t going to eat your counter space, force you to make a whole pot when you want just a cup or send you out in the cold to the coffee house when it is safer to stay at home. As a bonus, you will be able to offer each of your friends and family members whatever their favorite coffee drink might be-without stressing!

Warm beverages have a way of bringing people together at the holidays-and every day. To enter and win your OWN Tassimo Brewing system , leave me a comment below and share your drink order and your favorite person to share a cup or two of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate.

  1. This would be fabulous to win! No more pouring left over coffee down the drain when we don’t drink the whole pot!

  2. This would be great to win! Individual servings plus a variety is a huge plus!

    Comment by Renae H — December 10, 2009 @ 2:06 pm

  3. This would be so great for our house. My husband needs coffee every morning to get going, but I only do decaf right now because I am nursing. We can both enjoy a hot cup of Joe together, finally!

    Comment by Valerie — December 10, 2009 @ 2:06 pm

  4. i enjoy a cup of chai latte with an dear former college roommate that I get to see every couple of years now that she lives across the country.

    Thanks for the giveaway! Happy Holidays :)

  5. I- LOVE- TASSIMO!!! I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ONE IN MY HOME!!! THANKS =)

    Comment by Jessica — December 10, 2009 @ 2:15 pm

  6. Ohmyword, this would be AMAZING to have in our house. We have a regular run-of-the-mill coffee pot and we do make coffee often but always end up pouring some out because I can’t seem to make just enough for the two of us.
    As far as my drink – all three, please! For coffee, I would definitely drink it with my husband on a sunny Saturday morning while watching cartoons. Yes, we watch cartoons and we are proud of it :)
    The tea – chai tea is a favorite of mine and I would definitely drink it with my best friend who currently lives out of state. We would always drink these in college..yummy!
    Hot chocolate – I would drink it with my dog. Don’t laugh or freak out – she doesn’t get the drink (marshmallows? Yes. Drink? No.) but I often drink a cup in the mid-afternoon while relaxing on the couch and she will snuggle up with me.

  11. i would love to have the option of a quick cup of flavored coffee for me and plain for hubby instead of flipping a coin to see who get their preference brewed every morning :)

  15. I teach high school and literally cannot make it through the day without coffee…

    Comment by DK — December 10, 2009 @ 4:53 pm

  16. I would LOVE to have a Tassimo. A friend of mine has one and swears by it. She tried several other single cup brewers and this is the only one that worked for her family. I’m single and think this would be perfect for someone who never drinks an entire pot of coffee and doesn’t drink a cup every morning.

    Comment by Rebecca — December 10, 2009 @ 5:13 pm

  17. This would be perfect for me I hate waiting for fresh coffee to brew. By the way I leave at 4:00a.m. for work.

  23. I would share some tea (blueberry preferably) with my lovely boyfriend! :)

    Comment by Mindy — December 10, 2009 @ 8:26 pm

  24. How cool would it be to be able to offer a freshly brewed cup of coffee, followed by a chai latte, followed by a hot chocolate! What a great give a way.

    Comment by Kristi — December 10, 2009 @ 8:48 pm

  25. I love a good chai latte! Especially when I can share one with my too far away best friend. Thanks!

    Comment by Nicole — December 10, 2009 @ 8:55 pm

  26. OMG, this would be so great to have in the office on a cold day. To be able to offer colleagues their choice of beverage and not get stuck having to drink what they want. My choice would be something of the espresso variety in the a.m. and something decaf after lunch. And for my coffee fiend friend, she could have the high-test after lunch to keep her going.

    Comment by Ruthie B — December 10, 2009 @ 9:00 pm

  27. White Chocolate Mocha made at home would be great!!!

    Comment by Norma — December 10, 2009 @ 9:24 pm

  28. I love coffee drinks and would love to make them at home and not 1. have to go out and 2. pay the expensive prices. This would be great! Thanks.

    Comment by Samantha — December 10, 2009 @ 9:38 pm

  29. This would be a great addition to our home’s gadgets. I drink decaf coffee, my teens drink regular coffee and my husband prefers tea and hot chocolate.

    Comment by PATTY — December 10, 2009 @ 10:41 pm

  32. I would get a latte and share this with my husband. We would sit in our kitchen, drinking our coffees and just talk after the kids go to bed. That sounds heavenly already…

  37. I’m up making Christmas cookies this evening, and came across my old espresso maker under the cupboard.. It was no more than ten minutes ago that I, too, left coffee grounds all over my kitchen trying to make “espresso”..I remembered quite quickly why it was put away..

    Comment by Rebekah — December 11, 2009 @ 2:28 am

  41. This would be so great in my house. Im the only latte / coffee drinker and the 1 cup feature is great. The boys would love an easy quick cup of hot chocolate.

  43. I would LOVE to win the Tassimo. I have enjoyed visiting a friends machine over the past couple of years and have been wanting one so I can have my own fresh cup of latte or chai in the mornings.

    Comment by Dinah Luevano — December 11, 2009 @ 8:11 am

  44. I would have 2 hot chocolates! My favorite person to share my hot chocolate with is my husband. We sit and watch TV after dinner with a warm cup of creamy hot chocolate. The Tassimo machine would be so quick and easy, and I’m sure the Milka hot chocolate is delicious!!!

    Comment by Daisyever — December 11, 2009 @ 8:29 am

  45. I would have hot chocolate and my husband (favorite person) would have a coffee.

  56. My husband is from Iran and he grew up drinking hot tea. But he’s the only one in our family who drinks it so he often makes do with coffee. This way he could have his tea and drink it too!

    Comment by Jennifer — December 11, 2009 @ 11:28 am

  57. How wonderful it would be to enjoy a cup of coffee with my dear husband. I love this little coffeemaker. I am always making too much coffee in our old coffeemaker, but I suppose that’s okay since it makes our home smell so nice in the morning.

    Comment by Susan — December 11, 2009 @ 12:03 pm

    Comment by ELizabeth — December 11, 2009 @ 9:45 pm

  70. This would make my mornings 109x easier. As picky as I am, I would have the choice of just about anything I might want. :)

    Comment by Heather — December 11, 2009 @ 9:46 pm

  71. This would be great. I only drink decaf and my husband likes the high-octane. This machine would be perfect and save on waste.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    Comment by Susan — December 11, 2009 @ 11:00 pm

  72. I have always thought this invention was ingenious! The ease of having a cup of your favorite beverage without making a whole pot…amazing! No waste!

    I would choose lattes for my husband and me…and quiet time (which we never seem to get enough of).

    Oh heck, we just want to play with the machine and we’d probably end up bickering over whose turn it was to brew a cup! ;-)

    Comment by Sea — December 12, 2009 @ 2:26 am

  73. the perfect amount! My dentist has one in his office and i just love using it, It makes the perfect amount and it’s easy to clean up. My kinda kitchen gadget!

  86. I have a coffee maker at work (not Tassimo) and it makes the individual cups. I love it. I would love to try a new machine especially the Tassimo because it has so many varieties of coffee and products. I am still a D & D coffee fan but it is so expensive but not as costly as Starbucks.

    Comment by Janozzi — December 13, 2009 @ 8:11 pm

  87. Since Costco took away my Senseo coffee maker and would not give it back, I am desparate!
    Making even a partial pot for myself causes waste.
    I would love to have one of these!

    Comment by Sarah — December 14, 2009 @ 6:32 pm

  91. It’s no secret I love coffee. However, we always had the same issue with single serving coffee pots: we’re fans of the oversized mug so how would one fit? Thanks for letting us know that this particular one works with it!

    My favorite kind of coffee is something strong. I’m currently liking something that I think is called Highlander Grog. I don’t know the name exactly as I bought it from our local coffee shop. And I love sharing coffee with my friends every week on Wednesdays or my husband any day.

  99. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE coffee!!! My last coffee brewer broke and I’m so sad to be using a $9.99 special to brew…just not the same! Would love the Tassimo to brew my sorrows away.

  100. i have wanted a single cup maker for some time. the cost has been the issue preventing having one. it is a fabulous idea. i do hope i am lucky enough to win:) peace lisa

    Comment by lisa capehart — December 15, 2009 @ 12:35 pm

  101. I would totally love this. I love coffee and different types of coffee. Majority of the time I dont like to make an entire pot as it will go to waste. Would help out to during our cold WIsconsin winters. :)

  105. I drink so much coffee as a new mother and feel bad making pot after pot but having to throw out the last little bit when I don’t drink it. This would be awesome to have!

    And maybe I could share with my husband and he would stop going out for coffee every day.

  109. This seems like a wonderful invention since I always make tooo much coffee and have to throw a lot of it away. Then there is other times when I want it and my husband doesnt. This would be so much easier!

    Comment by Leslie — December 16, 2009 @ 11:08 pm

  110. I would so love this. I only drink one cup of coffee, and it feels silly to brew it in my coffee pot: this little puddle of coffee in the bottom of a huge carafe.

    Comment by Kristen Rysdam — December 17, 2009 @ 10:10 am

  111. Neither my husband and I drink coffee, but when our daughters and their husband arrive, they CRAVE coffee. We love that the Tassimo has such a wide selection of coffees for them AND a variety of teas for us. It’s the best of both worlds!

  112. i love the smell of coffee,it gets me out of bed wanting it in the morning.I would love a Tassimo!

    Comment by newjerseyattitude — December 17, 2009 @ 8:38 pm

  113. The Tassimo sounds like an amazing machine. It’s a total beverage center that exceeds the needs and expectations of all the hot beverage consumers in our household. We have a competing brand of product, but after reading this review, I’m convinced there is no competing with the Tassimo. It wins hands-down and I’m jealous of anyone who owns one. I’d love to be the next winner of this incredible innovation in home brewing.

  134. I love to share coffee with my sisters! Each of us likes it a little different way, and usually with some kind of flavoring. I’ve discovered that I love cinnamon in mine. With the Tassimo, we could have so much fun discovering lots of different varieties of coffee!

Right now, I am brewing a cup in my old coffee maker, which means: same old coffee I had this morning, ONE WHOLE FILTER, and probably some left over. I do like that the coffee would always be hot with a one cupper!

  210. Oh my! How cool! I have to say, my favorite person to share a cup of coffee with is…me. Coffee time is my morning me time. I try to have a cup without the kids, or anyone else, as a relaxing, comforting way to start the day. I am also the only coffee drinker in the house. On top of that, I have limited myself to one cup a day, since I like my coffee with loads of flavor, sugar, creamer, and the calories are ridiculous. So, this would be great for me! No more waisted coffee!

    My Mother’s 80th birthday is here. She can no longer drink large pots of coffee. It would be nice to give her the gift of having her morning cup of coffee back. Plus, It would ease my mind that she hasn’t left the coffee pot on by mistake!

  240. Having the Tassimo would be the way to go for a quick cup of coffee or hot chocolate to warm this often cold body. Thanks for the opportunity to participate in the giveaway.

  246. I’d use this to make cups of tea all the time! My boyfriend doesn’t drink hot tea, but this would be great for drinking hot cocoa together. The Milka Hot Chocolate sounds so delicious!
