Why are coffee lovers increasingly choosing Tassimo today? Because using this coffee machine is extremely simple: you just need to press the button, wait a bit - and the cup will be filled with wonderful coffee, and the room with a wonderful invigorating aroma. In addition, you do not need to carefully measure the portion of coffee for each cup - Tassimo capsules already contain the perfect amount.

A few words about Tassimo

In America and Europe, this brand has been known and loved for a very long time. Braun introduced the Tassimo to the French market back in 2004. The main idea of the advertising campaign at that time was to ensure the maximum preservation of the environment in the process of making coffee. Tassimo Intellibrew technology ensures that electricity, water and the coffee itself are not wasted. The idea of preserving the environment and saving energy at that time became a real trend in America and Europe, and therefore the success of the advertising campaign in these countries was guaranteed.

Later, in 2008, a new generation of Tassimo coffee machines was launched in the USA by Bosch. They came to Russia and the CIS countries only in 2011, but quickly gained immense popularity, which they have not lost to this day.

What are T-discs?

T-discs are special capsules for the Tassimo coffee machine. They got this name because of the specific shape. Other manufacturers produce more convex capsules for their devices, so most often capsules designed for one coffee machine do not fit another.

In Russia, T-discs for Tassimo are produced by Kraft Foods. Jacobs Monarch capsules are most often found on store shelves, but other options can be ordered: Carte Noire, Morning Café, Milka hot chocolate and even Twinings tea. The only disadvantage of this option is that you will have to wait for the delivery of coffee capsules to your home.

How does T-disc work and why is Tassimo an intelligent system?

The principle of operation of the Tassimo coffee machine is interesting. The T-disk is equipped with a special barcode, for each type of drink - its own. During operation, the coffee machine reads information from the barcode and determines what kind of drink it is, its recipe, and how it should be prepared.

That's why Tassimo is considered the world's first intelligent coffee brewing system. The principle of its work in itself is simple, but at the same time it greatly simplifies the life of a person in love with a drink of cheerfulness. But experiments with tastes are also possible, but we will talk about this below.

Capsules for the Tassimo coffee maker: what's inside?

As mentionedabove, you can cook in Tassimo coffee machines not only coffee of excellent quality, but also hot chocolate, and even tea. Let's dwell on the contents of these capsules in more detail.

Jacobs offers the following product options for Tassimo: espresso coffee capsules and espresso macchiato, americano, cappuccino, latte macchiato and latte macchiato caramel, as well as the wonderful drink with lush Caffè crema foam. To date, it is Jacobs that offers the widest range of products for Tassimo coffee machines.

On the Russian market, there are also options offered by the French manufacturer Carte Noire. These are Espresso Aromatique, Café Long Délicat, Café Long Intense and strong Petit Déjenuer Intense. Carte Noire drinks vary in strength.

Cocoa lovers can appreciate the Milka hot chocolate capsules for Tassimo, and tea connoisseurs can choose the appropriate T-discs. Twinings introduces the classic English Breakfast tea infused with Apres midi d'Orient strawberry and rose petals, green tea with mint and chai latte.

As you can see, the choice of products is quite wide, and every coffee or tea gourmet can choose Tassimo capsules to their taste.

More about flavors

Every year the range of coffee capsules for Tassimo expands. At the moment, 8 types of black coffee, 4 types of cappuccino and latte, 5 types of tea capsules and one type of hot chocolate are available for Russia.

For lovers of peppy classics, espresso T-discs are provided,americano, cappuccino and latte. Real coffee gourmets will appreciate the quality of latte macchiato, caramel latte and the entire Carte Noire product line. Well, children will definitely like the Milka drink, delicious and chocolatey.

Separately, I would like to dwell on chai latte. This is a drink from Twinings, designed for those who love coffee even in tea. It has a spicy oriental taste and a tart aroma. And all this is complemented by a gentle milk foam.

Is tea made in a coffee machine different from regular tea brewed in a cup? As a rule, consumers find the answer to this question after tasting a drink from a Tassimo coffee machine.

Reusable capsules for Tassimo coffee machine

Especially for those coffee lovers who are used to counting their money, reusable capsules for coffee machines were invented. There are such blank discs for Tassimo, but so far you can buy them only at foreign online auctions.

Reusable capsules are made from food-grade plastic that does not absorb odors and is easy to clean. These discs can be used up to 50 times. Ground coffee is simply poured into the capsule, and then the brewing algorithm is no different from the process of working with ordinary T-discs: in the same way, the capsule is placed in a coffee machine and after pressing the button, the device produces wonderful coffee. Quick and easy.

The advantage of reusable capsules can be considered not only their cost-effectiveness. Any kind of ground coffee can be placed inside such a disc, and besides, mixing them is allowed. SoThus, reusable discs are what you need if you like variety and often experiment with different types of roasting and grinding coffee beans. In such capsules, in addition, you can brew tea, and even medicinal fees.

Consumer reviews of Tassimo capsules

Customers evaluate capsules for Tassimo coffee machines differently. Someone finds their favorite among the variety of tastes, and someone tries a drink and is surprised by the aroma “like from a coffee shop”, but believes that the price of the product is too high. Consumer reviews therefore describe both the pros and cons of T-discs. Consider the main ones.

So, Tassimo capsules are loved for:

• great tasting coffee;
• his wonderful fragrance;
• variety of types of drinks;
• ease of preparation;
• high quality drink.

Negatively, consumers evaluate:

• pretty high price for capsules;
• the fact that in ordinary stores the necessary T-discs are not always available and they have to be ordered via the Internet.

However, Tassimo capsules receive mostly positive reviews. It is likely that for a real coffee gourmet, the advantages of this product still cover both the rather high price and the frequent absence from the nearest store around the corner.
