Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Braun Tassimo TA1200 Single-Serve Hot-Beverage System
Customer Review: Good to the last drop.....Tassi-mojo
Summary: 5 Stars
??Have you ever gone somewhere with a friend to grab a cup of coffee, not in a star-big-bucks but just a diner, and been talking away and you stop and say 'wow, this is good coffee'...your friend agrees; you both look around and see that they grind/brew their coffee with some custom made machine. Well this is the same type of coffee you get out of the Tassimo when you brew any of the regular coffees. I expected OK coffee. A step up from my old carafe coffee, which was really only good if I ground the coffee myself and made coffee immediately; and then only the first 5 minutes is the coffee the right temp; after that the carafe is not hot enough. Well I was aiming too low. The Tassi-mojo is much better than I expected. The coffee is delightful to the last drop and we never have the half full cups around the house anymore!! The cappuccinos and lattes are absolutely divine and seem better than star-big-bucks!!! Maybe that's because I can make it with my eyes closed and in one of my own real mugs ..to me coffee tastes better in a mug than in styrofoam! My daughter and I love the ease of use; she drinks lattes but her favorite is an evening hot chocolate.
This is the ONLY one-serve machine that uses real milk, which to us was a must. No powdered milk is the same! The milk is only 2% but tastes as rich as cream and comes out super frothy hot without any of the mess with the steamer/frother! You can also make a hot chocolate (which is wonderful!!) and add a creamer pod to it and make it extra creamy...even better!!
We leave the Tassimo on all the time, it is always in the standby mode. Put a pod in and close the machine, the Tassimo automatically starts the 'heating' mode with a green light showing that; when the heating is finished in a few seconds, the light changes and the 'auto' light comes on, then you press the large single black button once. (Seems like they could design it so it switches right from heating to making coffee, but it doesn't). It makes the drink and then sputters a few seconds clearing out the last bit of cofee. Take the pod out immediately (or you'll forget) and handle it only by the tab (cuz it's hot!!!!) and toss it. Perfect drink everytime, with no taste from the last pod since each one brews only inside the pod itself.
OK for minimum cleanups: If you make a regular coffee, then rinse the 2 parts where the pod sits and put them back. Easy. If you made a drink with milk, then run the "cleaner pod" with an empty mug...the "cleaner pod" is just a plastic disk that we almost threw away when we opened the huge Tassimo box, it has a barcode on it and tells the Tassimo to boil water. We use the same disk to boil water for adding to oatmeal or teabags (if you don't use the Tassimo tea pods which are really not that much more convenient than a teabag :)
One nice thing about the Tassimo is that the coffee is always piping hot, very smooth, not at all bitter. The Seattles-best and gevalia pods are great, the maxwell house pods are also very smooth. EVen if we only bought this machine for the specialty drinks it would be worth every penny. We would never buy the multifunction coffee/espresso/frothing machine until they make one that cleans up all the pieces itself LOL. I don't even like cleaning up the old simple carafe and coffee filter full of grinds. Plus I always end up with a half pot of coffee to throw out. We're retiring the old coffee maker, it hasn't been used for over a year anyway. We've gotten into the habit of skipping coffee at home and buying it at a big-bucks close to work or out somewhere on weekends. At nearly $7 a day total for me alone, the habit adds up quickly.
Get your Tassimo, make your own gourmet coffee at home! Everyone wants to use the machine (so you won't have to worry about fixing anyone elses); it's sleek, super easy to fix, and NO MESS. You can even fix a decafe latte at nite in your slippers! We bought a couple of sprinkle/cocoa/nutmeg shakers for a little extra touch! (Today I'm going out to buy one of the $15 chrome pod holders to keep some on the counter:) And for a real indulgence, you can even make a cocoa latte or expresso (use one pod after another). We now have desert/coffee at home for a treat (instead of going out) and haven't been to a big-bucks since buying our Tassimo!
Get one before the Holidays and enjoy your own Christmas cheer by surprising your sweetheart with gourmet caffe latte in bed!!
Cheers~ God bless the troops (and all of their families)!!
Happy Holidays!
