Bosch Tassimo Home Brewing System

I’ve never been much of a coffee drinker.  I was too intimidated by the choices; Java, Mocha, Grande, Tall, cappuccino, Espresso… what does that all even mean?  It’s like alien speak to me.  If I dared ask any of the “aliens” that spoke the language (ahem…can you say “Boutique Coffee Shoppes”), they looked at me like I was a “human” and smirked their way through the answer.

Happily, I don’t care what that stuff means because I can now have a good cup of coffee… at my own home.  No drive through, no intimating ordering process, and I can add whatever I want to my cup of coffee after it’s brewed just by using a beautiful device from Bosch called the Tassimo.

Recently I stopped drinking my Diet Coke w/ Lime every day around 2:00 when the “sluggies” hit me.  I felt tired and it gave me a lift.  I like that! I noticed a pattern… my friends kept telling me that a cup of coffee might be just what I need.  I’m not sure why that’s better than Diet Coke but I wanted to give it a try.

Bosch’s beautiful Tassimo re-introduced me to the world of coffee.  Before I had a chance to randomly rush  the isles of Publix looking for coffee pods for the Tassimo, my father, who is an accomplished coffee drinker, and, visiting for my daughter’s birthday kindly went to Publix and came home with a package of Maxwell House Tassimo pods.

TassimoTa Da! Now we had everything we needed to try out the Tassimo!  Excitement was brewing (pun intended).  Typically, we did not follow the directions explicitly because we were anxious to enjoy the coffee.  The water reservoir is quite large and includes a charcoal filter so you don’t really need to use bottled water, (like my dad).  A very clever design feature is the bar code reader that scans the bar code on a “pod” and sends that information to the “coffee computer” telling it which style or type of drink you are preparing to brew.  Fabulous!

Once the “pod” is in place, and it will really only go in one way, just turn on the power and after a very short cycle the coffee will begin to fill your cup!  Quick.  Really quick!  The cup stand is adjustable so you can use cups larger than those tiny espresso cups.  Which is nice if you or the kids want a big hot chocolate, which, by the way, is a drink option for the Tassimo!  The “brew” time can be manipulated by a front mounted button if you prefer a different “intensity”.

Several brands make drink “pods” for the Tassimo so if you are interested in good coffee, quickly, in an attractive package, and as a really attractive price you should take a good look at the Bosch Tassimo.  My dad has his eye on mine but I am protecting it!  I like it!

  142. I really want to win this because me and my hubby are coffee addicts. The problem is we both like different flavors of coffee. This would be perfect for us because we could easily make the flavor we want. My fingers are crossed!

  145. I’d love to win because DH makes a whole pot of coffee every morning and only drinks 2 or 3 cups. I’d like a machine that allows him to make a fresh cup each time, but allows the rest of us to make different beverages of our choice.

  146. I’d love to win for those random hot chocolate cravings and also to make tea without having to fuss with boiling a bunch of water.

  221. I want to win this because I LOVE my coffee, but sometimes I need just a cup (like late afternoon or in the evening) without having to go through the ritual of brewing half a pot (most of which usually ends up down the drain)! This would be PERFECT for me!

  269. I want to win because my father and brother are huge coffee drinkers and I am not. So it would come in handy for making them coffee when we have family functions.

  318. I want to win because I always just want one cup of coffee in the morning so brewing a whole pot seems silly. This would definitely solve my problem!

  334. This would be so perfect for us.
    My husband and I both love coffee but are rarely home at the same time. So it is wasteful for us to make full pot for just one of us. With the Tassimo we would be able to make a fresh cup anytime we wanted one with having to make a full pot.

  335. I love a perfect cup of coffee but don’t drink it daily so Tassimo would be perfect for whenever the craving hits. I do drink tea daily so it would come in handy for that too.

  342. I would love to win this because I drink coffee every day, but my husband sometimes does and sometimes doesn’t. We end up wasting a lot of coffee because a pot doesn’t get finished. I also like to have coffee after dinner sometimes and I certainly don’t want to drink a whole pot then.

  409. I am a coffee drinker and my hubby is a tea drinker. I am hopeless at making coffee the “regular” way, and always seems silly to make a pot when I only need one cup!

  414. I would actually love to win this to give to my little sister — she is going off to college in the fall, and this would be great for her dorm room.

  470. I need a coffee and tea maker bad. I’m the only in the house that drinks it and this would be perfect. My daughter would use it for ice tea and hot chocolate also.
