My husband, the kids and I love hot chocolate and I love a good cup of coffee that tastes like hot chocolate. 🙂 I was excited to be given the opportunity to try out a single cup coffee brewer by TASSIMO when they invited me to ‘Unlock a Perfect Cup this Holiday Season’ by sending me one of their new T55 brewers and a selection of T-disc’s to try out with it. I tried so many kinds of coffee in a span of a few hours that I was ready to conquer the world. (Don’t worry, I took sips of the different flavors and shared with my husband. I didn’t drink like 9 cups of coffee.) Then the kids got home from school and I was conquered.
The Tassimo T55: Easy High-End Brewing at a Mid-Range Price
While there are many high-end, feature-rich coffee makers available on the market, most tend to be extremely pricey for the average consumer. What’s more, many tend to be highly specialized and really excel at only one or two tasks. In truth, the vast majority of hot beverage fans are looking for a machine that’s a bit more flexible and middle-of-the-road. If you find yourself in that camp, the Bosch Tassimo T55 is more than worthy of your consideration.
The real magic of the Tassimo T55 lies in its propriety T-Disc pods. To make the perfect chai latte, hot chocolate or cappuccino, just insert the appropriate T-Disc and press a button. The T55 will read the barcode on the T-Disc and adjust water quantity and temperature to ensure a perfect brew. A simple +/- button allows users to make their beverages stronger or weaker as they may prefer. I prefer a weaker coffee so I’m not found cleaning the carpet and painting the walls while my husband likes a stronger taste.
Overall Quality and Value
In terms of build quality, the T55 is a particularly rugged machine. Its attractive exterior is rather minimalist but sports chrome elements that make it look more expensive than it actually is. As a whole, this machine just feels incredibly solid and put up with quite a bit of use in a short period of time even at the hands of my 14 year old. I heard no complaints from the T55 so all is good! In the bargain department, the T55 is fairly competitive with other single serving coffee makers currently available. While the T-Discs are a bit expensive, they save quite a bit of time when you’re in a rush.
The Verdict
If you’re looking for a brewing powerhouse that can quickly churn out a variety of hot drinks that every member of the family can enjoy, the Tassimo T55 is a safe bet. Besides a high degree of versatility, the T55 boasts convenience and value as additional bona fides. Few coffee makers out there can match its combination of value and beverage quality. Pound for pound, it’s one of the best single serving machines you can buy.
For such a versatile appliance, the Tassimo T55 is surprisingly compact at just 8.7 inches deep, 11.26 inches wide and 11.14 inches high. Like its competitors from the likes of Keurig, the T55 boasts instant heat-up and zero power consumption on standby. It also features a removable 68-oz. reservoir fitted with a Mavea Maxtra filter for the purest water possible. In addition, it has a height-adjustable drip tray. Operating at 1300 watts, it can heat beverages to 185 degrees Fahrenheit.

Wow thank you so very much, I am happy, happy, happy =
Currently we use instant coffee because it’s quick and this would allow us to get our favorite just as quickly but with a better taste.
I would so love to win! My favorite coffee flavor is hazelnut.
p.s. I really like your coffee cup!
I love vanilla flavored coffee. I also love that I can make one cup at a time instead of wasting a pot of coffee.
I would love to win this because our current coffee makers aren’t really ideal. The ground decaf I drink isn’t good for our french press & I hate trying to make a small amount of coffee in our 12 cup maker.
I would love to win to brew great beverages at home. I love vanilla flavored coffees.
I’m a such a coffee junkie, and would love to win a Tassimo because it is a great brewing machine.
I have had coffee from the Tassimo and we feel it is far superior to those other single cup coffee makers. In our house the favorite coffees are the dark, rich, boldest flavors. We loved Africa Kitamu from Starbucks, but we aren’t able to find it any more.
I would love to win this because right now I’m using a very old Mr. Coffee drip system so when I make coffee I have to make coffee both I and my husband like. He only likes regular coffee and I like flavored coffee. It I won this I could have my flavored coffee anytime I wanted.
I would love to win this because we don’t own a coffee maker and this is so much easier! just a push of the button and it would be great for my husband who needs some quick caffeine in the morning before work. who usually ends up buying it at the gas station but i would love to get him this.
well i like all kinds of coffee i want to win cause i sure could use this mine is like 6 yrs old and a new coffee maker would be awesome
I would LOVE to win one of these for my sister in law! She envies mine and the coffee is more like a coffee shop than homemade type. We love ours and I would lOVE to be able to give her one!!! 🙂
I always wanted a European coffee brewing machine because I know how their coffee techniques make coffee so outta this world! Once you taste it, there’s no going back! Tassimo is my answer!
My daughter recently moved out and I would love to win this for her.
I bought one of these for my mother and love the TASSIMO T55. I wish I had one.
I don’t have a coffee maker so this would really be great to win so I don’t have to visit 711 everyday!!
You could really use a TASSIMO Nikki!
I love hazelnut flavored coffee and cafe mochas.
A single brew maker would also help me stick with just 1 cup of coffee for the day!
Great choices Joyce! BUT… would you really stick to one cup of coffee if you have a single cup brewer? It would be so easy to make another cup and another cup.. Just sayin’.. 😉
I would like a Tassimo T55 Single Cup Coffee maker, because there are times that I just want a short cup of coffee and no one else in the house will, so I don’t make a full pot and drink something else, plus I bet it would be great for making hot chocolate and the like. THank you for sharing information with us
Dorothy, the TASSIMO T55 is GREAT for hot chocolate!
I love my current Tassimo and want another one so we can have one upstairs and downstairs!
Nice! That’s what I do with vacuums. I have one on every level. 🙂
I love that it can make Chai Tea – it would save so much money vs buying it at the coffee shop. Also would want to try the new Mocha.
I love Chai Tea. Do you use tea bags now Nicole or only buy at a coffee shop? For years I only drank tea from a coffee shop but the TASSIMO makes making a great cup of tea so easy, there’s no need. I still like go to a coffee shop with friends though.
I want to win this because I’ma coffee addict. My favorite is flavored coffees like Hazelnut, Caramel, & Vanilla.
Sounds great Tammy! Thanks for entering.
Thank you so much for the chance to win this amazing giveaway. I’d love to win a TASSIMO T55 Single Cup brewing system because it makes so many versatile beverages, the entire family could enjoy this unlike my coffee pot lol. The kids don’t like coffee but they sure enjoy hot cocoa.
That is what I like best about the TASSIMO T55 Terri. My son and husband love hot chocolate (as do I) but I like to enjoy a cup of Mocha. Did you know that there is a Gevalia Mocha T-Cup?!
I would love to win because it would be AMAZING to be able to make 1 cup of delicious coffee! I would like to try the Gevalia Columbia T Disc!
It is so nice to be able to just make one cup of coffee, hot chocolate or tea Shanna! Less to clean up too since the beverage is made right in your mug.
I’d Love To Win The TASSIMO T55 Because My Family Are Huge Coffee Lovers, And Currently We Do Not Own A Coffee Maker, This Would Save Us Time And Money. My Favorite Coffee Flavor Is French Vanilla.
The French Vanilla is delicious Heather!
As a coffee drinker, this gadget would make my morning easier. My favorite flavor coffee is hazelnut.
The TASSIMO makes mornings so much easier when you are on the run!
I would LOVE to win the Tassimo T55 Single Cup Coffee Brewer for my husband! 🙂

I want to win this amazing Tassimo T55 because I drink a different brand and flavor of coffee than my girlfriend. I LOVE Kona coffee and drink it every chance i get. This would give me Kona coffee whenever I wanted it!!
The TASSIMO T55 would be perfect for you and your girlfriend then Steve. I haven’t tried Kona. I’ve heard it is bold and tasty!
