I've got both the Tassmio Fidelia and the Nespresso Inissia.
Initially bought the Tassimo because it was a lot cheaper - it makes decent black coffee but avoid the lattes and cappuccinos - the milk cartridges contain sickly, oversweetened UHT milk which is deeply unpleasant.
It can be friustrating because there's only a limited range of coffees avaialbe on the high street and Tassimo charge postage (there used to be a lot of discount codes for their website but these seem to have dried up recently).
This package seems a decent price, but bear in mind you may not appreciate all the drinks that come with it - the latte/cappiccinos only give you 8 drinks per pack because you need one coffee capsule and one milk capsule per drink (I ended up throwing away the milk capsules and just using the coffee). One of the packs is for tea, which seems pointless - just use a kettle and some tea!

I bought the Nespresso while it was on offer (like the Tassimo it came with so much coffee that it was effectively free) because the drinks seem to be more widely available (the patent on the Nespresso capsule has now expired so other manuracturers make compatible ones) and generally cheaper (you can often pick up a 10 ack for £2 on offer). However, I find the own brand ones pretty poor (I like strong coffee and none of them seem to be very strong). Nestle's own are excellent but only available online (more postage to pay) or in their own shops (my nearest branch is 50 miles away).

Both machines make decent black coffee once you've found a capsule you like.
So it comes down to how you prefer to drink your coffee...
The Nespresso will only make a small coffee (espresso or lungo), the Tassimo makes bigger coffees and it's easy to add extra hot water for an Americano (you can get espresso capsules for the Tassimo but only online and there are only 2 types to choose from). So for espresso I'd go for the Nespresso machine. For bigger black coffees the Tassimo is probalby better.
If you like cappuccino or latte, get the Nespresso machine with an Aeroccino - it heats and froths fresh milk in about a miniute and is easy to use and clean after. Unless you like syrupy coffee in which case you might be OK with the Tassimo (you'll pay more for their capsules of UHT milk but they're easy to store). It's worth waiting for Nespresso to do their vouchers offer (you should be able to get an Inissia with Aeroccino for £70 and claim £75 in coffee vouchers from Nestle).

Both my machines are in the staff-room at work. I rarely use the Tassimo any more - but that's because I like steamed milk and no sugar in my coffee.
At home I wouldn't have either - it's cheaper to buy ground coffee and it doesn't involve throwing away a lot of plastic capsules (Nestle's own brand capsules for the Nespresso are the only ones that are reasonably easy to recycle) but at work convenience wins.

This is the direct link to the newsletter that will email you pretty much instantly a 10% off code, this will bring the cost down from £53 to £47.70.

https://www.tassimo.co.uk/newsletter-registration/s-5185/?

I tried the descaling promo too but that didnt work with the 10% off code.

Also did TCB at 6.9% so will have to wait and see if that come through.

Just got an mail from TCB showing a pending transaction of £3.65, so this would make it £43.85

Good machine too. Mine is still going strong after 4 years with a descale every 4 months or so. Used every morning.

Fantastic deal.

heat great deal <3

Boiling hot!

This is amazing can't believe I just got one from tesco gutted

Wow fab price! Thanks for sharing op :smiley:

Good machine too. Mine is still going strong after 4 years with a descale every 4 months or so. Used every morning.

Where did you find the survey op?

Don't forget Topcashback 6.9% too.

Looks like a bargain but how does it compare to the Inissia which seems to be rated pretty highly on here. Is there much difference?

I signed up to their newsletter before purchasing and got a 10% off discount code emailed within seconds! May prevent 6% cashback from quidco/tcb being honoured.

Did it take long for the survey to come through?

Was about a week, but this offer, subject to stock, going until next month.

Plus I think if you get this - then register the machine - you then get a further 2 x £10 vouchers off further orders

I got a machine ages ago from a costa promotion for £30. does anyone know if they run those promo's anymore?

Hi, I've not used the Tassimo system before. I see the packs that come with this have 16x or 8x written on them. Are they the number of drinks you get out of that pack? (or the number of pods, as I see some drinks need 2 pods to make them)

Love my Tassimo but pod supermarket prices creeping up. Best btrakfast value is American Grande but I am also partial to new L'Or range. This is very good deal if you want to.sample whole range.

Good price for it all. Quick and convenient-however, drinks are still mostly rubbish.

With the first £10 off voucher, I managed to get over 100 servings for £25, free delivery and an extra pack thrown in for free. Depends on how savvy you are when shopping around. Also, if you have a Costco membership, (and storage space as sell in bulk) they sell at a quite reasonable price. Latest on their website works out at 27p per serving.

Wow - you know your coffee x lol

couldn't disagree more! Had a Nespresso Pixie, and found it appalling compared to tassimo. I was rather shocked!

The coffee probably tastes better from a pixie, especially the nespresso branded coffee but it made such a tiny size it was hardly worth it. Not only does it make a tiny size, it was lukewarm too. (google this, it isn't uncommon) add milk to your coffee from the fridge and it was not really a drinkable temperature. Nespresso say you should preheat the cups, or fill them with hot water first (reminds me of apple's "you're holding the phone wrong" fiasco from years ago).
Tassimo comes out hot a least, and I find the standard Americano style coffee pods totally fine, even fine once milk is added. Plus, tassimo often are available at £15 on amazon for 80 pods. Currently this price now. I think these deals are very reasonable working out less than 20p a cup.

So I Had the tassimo first, retired it for the nespresso, then returned to the tassimo after the nespresso disappointment :smiley:

If you want a large black coffee to add cold milk to, I'd agree, go with the Tassimo.
The Nespresso makes espressos (and lungos which are a little larger but not much - some of the nespressos can make a ristretto which is even smaller) which are inteneded to be drunk black and are meant to be small. If you want an americano (and espresso topped up with hot water) from the Nespresso machine, you'll need a ketle for the extra hot water (the Tassimo will automatically add extra hot water if you buy a coffee labelled as 'Americano', alternatively you can buy any coffee you like the flavour of and add extra hot water yourself by pressing a button. If you're adding milk to an espresso it needs to be steamed milk (or get an Aeroccino which heats and froths it much like a steam wand).

There are offers on both types of coffee, I suspect the price per cup is pretty similar.

As I said, which machine is best depends on how you like your coffee - sounds like you're an Americano drinker (a large black coffee made by adding hot water to an espresso). The Tassimo is simpler for that.

What modelis the machine..cant udnerstand? is it the Bosch TAS4000GB Fidelia?

Ordered, thanks OP! :laughing:

Use promo code "DESCALING" for some free descaling tablets. can't find any other working codes.

This is a really good deal, i would have upgraded from my Tassimo Joy but sadly this one doesn't come with a Brita Filter which is a necessity for me. I see Tassimo have a Fidelia + which comes with a filter but sadly not applicable for this deal.

This is the direct link to the newsletter that will email you pretty much instantly a 10% off code, this will bring the cost down from £53 to £47.70.

Surprised this isn't hotter! Great housewarming gift for the sister :smiley:

Brilliant deal considering the pods will cost nearly that amount alone

Seems worth a punt with the pods to give the flavours a try. Cheers OP!

Looking at bringing this back on the plane to Ireland. Anyone know the dimensions of the box they sent the bundle in? Is it in 1 box or 2 seperate boxes?

I have a Tassimo but found the pods very expensive after a while. Great deal for this bundle, especially with the machine, but bear in mind that if you drink one of these a day you will spend about £5 a week (which is still cheaper than a coffee shop, but not as cheap as Instant)

Amazon have some pods on "subscribe and save" so £14.25 for 80 pods 17.8p each. One a day = £1.25. More like £5 mth :smiley:

Fair do's - I was basing my numbers on the Costa Latte, which is hardly ever discounted :smiley:

This is a good deal. I drink around 10 cups of costa americano a day.

I literally cane the hell out of my machines and I go through 2 a year on average. So when they are on offer, I buy them and store in the loft.

I only drink Costa Americano and recently a few Oreo ones (these were lovely but lukewarm).

Best place for price of discs is CostCo followed by Amazon. I have around 400 cups worth in the cupboard :smiley:

How much are they in CostCo?

Your calculation is based on 16 pods for £4. Bear in mind you need 2 pods per cup (for many of the 16 packs), so 50p per cup

Costa Tassimo Americano Coffee Pods, 160 Servings
£41.99
£0.27 per capsule



Costa Tassimo Cappuccino Coffee Pods, 80 Servings
£41.99
£0.53 per capsule



Costa Tassimo Latte Coffee Pods, 80 Servings
£46.99
£0.59 per capsule

I drink black coffee or hot chocolate, buying the Suchard version as this requires no additional creamer pod, so 16 in each pack. Works out well for me. Bonus that we have one of these in the office too, so always have a pack in my draw.

Thanks OP, bought one. Have some heat.
And thanks to sipart for the free descaling tablets promo code (DESCALING)

Wow fantastic deal!

Quite true, but 50p x 7 = £3.50, still not the £5 as suggested.
We could debate the cost of pods all week, but all I know is I bought one, voted hot and full credit goes to the op for spotting it.

You might want to think about changing some of those Americanos for decaff (which is the other reason I switched to Nespresso - I had to order decaff online for the Tassimo, but it's widely avaliable for Nespresso).

Health advice is that up to about 400mg of caffeine a day is safe. Costa coffee tends to have a high caffeine content (an Americano from one of their high street shops has 200-300mg).

My wife and sister-in-law both had similar caffeine intakes to yours and as a result they hyper-sensitised themselves to caffeine. If either of them drinks any caffeinated coffee now they get a migraine.
I limit myself to 3 or 4 caffeinated coffees a day (probably still about twice the recommended 400mg/day) and the rest is decaff.


Also - if you're buying new coffee machines twice a year, why don't you just return them under warranty for replacement?

Excellent machine. Bought it in November 2011 on Amazon Hot Deals for £49.99. It's used daily and still going great.

EDIT - Gone for another, just in case. Many thanks OP.

Ta very much OP...
Just bought 3, let's see if I can flog 'em for a profit.

When I hear Tassimo, or other similar products which use pods, my only thought is how amazingly terrible they are to the environment, and how hard it is to recycle those small pods!

At work, they built up a massive box of used pods, but no one could suggest any nearby places for recycling.

Secondly, why not just buy real coffee + coffee machine and make one yourself in a minute or so?
You'll save a lot on environmental damage and save money on each cup.

Do you know what? I never thought about the bloody warranty. What an edjit!

Weirdly, I used to get migraines daily about 20 years ago, but I am ok now. The caffeine doesn't even keep me awake.

My wife has issues with how much I drink though

You're right on this point. Only some places recycle. Whilst I can't put the pods in my weekly recycle bin, if I take them to the council offices, they have a recycle bin outside just for coffee pods

Great - thanks OP. Was in need of a new batch of coffee so getting a free machine is the icing on the cake... or the real milk in the coffee!!!

Terracycle recycle Tassimo pods. It used to be a lot easier, they would just send you a box and you fill it and send it back. Now they have drop off points.

https://www.terracycle.co.uk/en-UK/brigades/the-tassimo-brigade-r

Just to muddy the waters regarding Tassimo and Nespresso. There are peeps like myself that won't support Nestle, so Tassimo is the only choice in that argument.

Ohhhhh what have Nestle done? do tell :man:

Thanks op, brilliant deal! I'd not ordered any discs for a while so they'd sent me a 30% off code a few weeks back, so £37.10 for me. Felt generous so got mum one too. :smiley:

SERIOUSLY HOT. I've had one these exact machines for the last 6 months and it's brilliant. If you're like me and love coffee but can't be bothered with the effort and expense of grinding and frothing etc these are cost effective, easy to maintain and relatively cheap. There's a huge variety of pods available to suit all tastes as well. Far better than the other alternatives.

I've bought another 1 and will give it as a gift to someone. The machine alone is selling for £119 so for £53 and 12 packs of pods this is one of the best deals I've seen on hukd for months. Fill your boots!!!

Open an account, register a random serial number after few minutes you will receive 2 x voucher £10 each!
U can use voucher to buy this bundle making a total £43 w delivery.....

not £33?

Tassimo latte is awesome including the milk

You can only use one £10 code per order :smiley:

I'm assuming it's 43 because you can only use 1 voucher at a time

What does a random serial number look like? TIA

I just tried 1234567890 and replace the 0 with a 1... maybe try 2? :stuck_out_tongue:

OK, thanks, Will give it a go.

Unfortunately they won't deliver to my address :-(

Ordered one for my mate for his wedding but stupidly forgot to use the opportunity to grab some coffees for myself. Now i'll have to spend another £25 arghhhhhhhh

Just used a random serial number and got the two £10 voucher codes

This is a bargain dont miss out.

Had one for years but will update and buy this package as have tried everything to get a red light to go out for months on mine. It still works but at this price might as well replace it.

Type in DESCALING in the promo box and they send free descaling tablets with your order!!

Well, the major stuff for me are the baby formula fiasco, their water sales, child labour and mislabeling of unhealthy foods, etc. Hilariously, if you are interested in what they get up to, a quick google search is all it takes to bring up loads of links. I even learned some new lows for Nestle during a quick search today.

Should be pointed out without the descale the machine will refuse to work. Of course you could not bother with the tablets but at 2 quid every few months it's worth it. Buy 3rd party a lot a cheaper too

I'm not sure if the descale light comes on when it detects it's necessary, or after a number of uses. Anyway, I've just run it with water (as we have extremely soft water) & the light goes out for months.......so I suspect the latter.

Thanks OP. I just ordered this with the newsletter 10% off code (signing up for the £10 code didn't feel quite right, tbh), to replace the identical model I bought 3 years ago on the Costa deal for £45 (included 1 pack of pods & a cup & saucer). I thought that was a great deal, but this one is so much better. The T40 is the one with the bigger tank too, so better than some of the other models.

My only problem with the tassimo is that the only milk I like are the ones that come with the latte macchiato range. The stand alone milks, costa latte milk pods are all weaker and not as creamy. The barcode for the latte macchiato milk pods is 3030132. Even emailed Tassimo to ask if they sell them without the coffee.

Thanks. Ordered for £43 and TCB tracked at £3.65
Used my other voucher to order some pods which worked out £16.94 delivered for 6 packs which doesn't seem far off the supermarket prices, and they have a bigger range to choose from

DESCALING code not working now

Yep the last day for descaling tablets was 5th April. The new code for this week is for buy 8 pay for 7 coffee packs. use code TASSIMO7=8

Tempted to get this... but did anyone get this? And if so, how big is the box?

Need to send it to a freight-forwarder / carrier who'll accept this for ROI who have dimension limits of roughly 40cm x 40cm x 60cm.

Order on Wednesday, no dispatch email as yet.
Also note 'maximum 1 deal per purchase', this was 3 per purchase the other day.

Mine just arrived - box approx 60x40x33cm.

Yeah, it was 3 to start with, but I think we broke them with orders and they have now reduced to 1.

Ordered Wednesday, confirmation email and quidco straight away, no despatch email though.

I ordered 10am Wednesday, shipping notification & invoice 4pm Wednesday, delivered 10am today. I suspect they have been inundated with orders now though!

If, like me, you like cappuccino and espresso... Currys currently have the Nespresso Inissia with Aeroccino for £80. Nestle are doing their promo again so you get £60 back as vouchers for coffee.

http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/household-appliances/small-kitchen-appliances/coffee-machines-and-accessories/coffee-machines/nespresso-by-magimix-inissia-11361-coffee-machine-with-aeroccino-vanilla-cream-21949346-pdt.html

I had a 30% off voucher and got it for 37 quid just got my confirmation email today wooo

Has anyone checked their invoice yet, just been sent one and only 11 packs of pods instead of 12 on it , anyone else this has happened to?

You get 2 of Latte Macchiato, so may look like 11 packs if you don't check quantity on that complex invoice, mine delivered today with 12 packs of pods.

showing 2 packs machatio it`s the columbrian that is missing.

Is the columbian in the box with the machine, thats the impression i get with the invoice

The invoice runs onto a 2nd page with Colombian listed on there.......
Machine arrived in normal shop box, inside larger box with the 12 packs of pods.
Don't worry, you'll get 12 packs of pods!

Really good deal this. I usually buy pods on Amazon when on offer but this deal was worth getting even though I've already got a tassimo machine - the new one will make a good Christmas present

that is just what mine is for as a present.

Shame that Tassimo do not do mocha's

Anyone else ordered and not received a dispatch email yet?

my dispatch email came through on friday and i had ordered weds night.

I ordered wednesday lunchtime, no despatch email yet.

Mine is out for delivery today and I ordered on Wednesday x

Mine is being delivered today and ordered 7pm weds night.

Ordered Wednesday morning and had no updates since.

Might need to chase it up...especially as you have paid x

Mine just got delivered I ordered Wednesday evening. Also ordered some extra coffee with the £10 off code and free delivery. That should arrive this week

mine has just arrived now and was ordered Weds.

I rang them earlier, they are aware of an error where some orders from weds and thurs didn't reach the warehouse but are only finding out now as people have waited the 2 to 3 days to ring them. I now have a despatch email :smiley:

Mine has just arrived, ordered last Wednesday.
Love it already!
One question I have; it says on the outside of the disc packets if the drink will be small/medium/large etc, but I can't seem to find online anywhere actual measurements for this. (i.e. 200ml) I know it's odd, but at the minute I'm using a large half empty cup, and it would be more satisfying to use a smaller cup that's near the top. I don't want to go too far the other way and buy a cup that's too small though.
Crazy rant over, any ideas?

can u pls share the code pls, thanks a lot

i use a costa cup & saucer for the small brews and it`s right to the top of the cup.

It won't let me enter my £10 off code, it is saying I have already used a code - Any ideas?

We are having same problem with the 10% off code, my daughter has emailed but no response yet

It does say "Not combinable with other promotions" so maybe it was an error that we could use the codes?

Didn't need it, but couldn't resist. I have a dolce gusto which I'm less than impressed with. This will keep me going for some time, lol. Cheers!

Re volume of drinks, it is stated on some of the pod descriptions.
S=60ml, M=150ml, L=215ml, XL=280ml.

I had this problem last night, you have to be logged onto the account for the 10% code to work. Before that it was conflicting with the free delivery offer

Thanks still not working and no answer from Tassimo

I signed up and didn't get a 10% off code

we got the 10% off code for signing up for the news letter

Codes only seem to be working with full priced items and not with bundles or offers - think tassimo have realised what's been going on!

Why did I hesitate ordering

Are you waiting for the code with additional discount?

trying to get 10% off with newsletter code was working and taking from the £53 deal thought I'll order later and now it doesn't work. Sods law

I registered hours ago, still not receive any relevant e-mail. Hope to get code before ordering!!

I've got the code but it doesn't work

Ordered mine on Wednesday and received a dispatch email, the parcel has been stuck in the same place ever since though according to the tracker. Does anyone know if they respond to emails as I'm in work during their phone line opening times.

If it's DPD I have contacted them via Twitter DM in the past and all been good.

Just like to say thanks to the op, picked this up and couldn't be any happier with the results in this price bracket. Had an excellent caffeinated week since it arrived!

Just to give people a heads up, DPD have posted on Twitter that their tracking systems are down and it looks like they aren't delivering till it's up

Though having said that it's up now and I'm still none the wiser as to where it is, I guess I'm going to have to take an early leave at work just to call someone about a coffee machine.

I think they ship them from Germany as the tracking links to dpd.de?

Ordered mine Thursday
Got a shipping email on Monday with no progress - link to dpd.de
Got another email today (Tuesday) saying it will be delivered tomorrow

Think they were just being slower than usual but seems to be OK. Got a dispatch email for my pods today as well so I'd expect those to be delivered on Thursday

Ordered 1 week ago, no machine and useless support from Tassimo in Ireland.

I got mine today and love it, it does give a German address for your shipping but if you log into the UK website the tracking info is more detailed and ships from the Midlands.

Ordered mine on Wed 5th for £43 using £10 discount code and Dpd delivered it on Sunday. Loving it and working my way through all the pods. Cheers to the OP for pointing out this deal

I'm getting quite annoyed now. Apparently was dispatched Mon or Tues but DPD say they are waiting receipt of the parcel. I guess that means it's lost

Would you please share the code for 10 pounds off?

They are individual codes. Would suggest as above people have done, register a random machine and get some codes from that.

Trying to apply the code received by registering random machine, but unsuccessful due to the following message "The promotional code you entered is valid but cannot be applied to your order.
Please check the promotional code details or continue checking out.". What's wrong with the code?

Think they have gotten wise to the use of discount codes :-(

Ordered on the morning of Wednesday 5th, received a Tassimo invoice on email yesterday (12th) and still no despatch email! Have tried to cancel and you can't - you have to wait for delivery and then file a returns. Absolute joke with hopeless support.

Do people not read the whole thread? Earlier in the week they were accepting discount codes which made it a fabulous deal - but they've plugged that loophole now. However this is a good deal even at £53 (& tcb if you can get it!)

I ordered the Fidelia Bundle on 04/04/17 so far no despatch email.Disappointing, will now have to ring up and chase the order.Takes the pleasure out of buying when this sort of thing happens.

I have a 10% off code from the newsletter, but it isn't working. I also registered an old machine for £10 off and neither of the two codes I received have worked either. Did they change it so you can't use any codes?

Were you logged into your tassimo account when you tried the codes? The £10 one didn't work for me until I logged in.

I'd get in touch with them... ordered mine on the 12/04/17 and it was despatched the same day.... currently sat at the DPD hub awaiting delivery

I'm logged in and still can't use any codes. On mobile maybe that's why.

Hmm... Well, you were right. For some reason, I wasn't logged in. And, it gets worse... When I click the "login" button, nothing happens. I've tried it in both Chrome and Firefox, but it doesn't work.
...
Ok, I just tried the Edge browser and it shows login options when you hover over the "login" button. Weird. Sadly, again, neither the 10% code or the £10 off code work. Very disappointing. I'll hold off making an order if anyone has a way of applying it. Otherwise, it's looking like Tassimo have definitely stopped the codes from stacking with the offer. :disappointed:

How would you make a latte with this machine? Do you have to buy a milk frother?

Usually, the milk and coffee are included together as a pair of pods, e.g. Costa lattes, Carte Noire lattes, etc.

Ahh thanks, I remember now, I read the milk pods are not that nice. Was wondering if maybe there is a milk wand attachment or something

Will just get this then invest in a milk frother, something like the krups one, that should do

No attachment. It's all done with the machine. It may be worth trying to find a Tassimo machine to try a latte. That way, you can decide if you like the milk or not. Personally, I don't mind them. Although, I think the Carte Noire Latte is particularly nice.

Is that the -old- wet milk (Actual normal milk)? As opposed to the -new- powdered milk? Or have they changed the receipe back? Not used for the last year due to the new milk :disappointed: If it's changed back, I'll get the machine out.

The ones I ordered back in November (Costa Caramel Latte and Carte Noire Latte Machiatto) are not powdered. Hope that helps. I've had my machine since 2013 and have never had a powder latte. Are powder ones the norm for normal lattes?

Well I think they are more 'syrup' than powder.
At some point in the past, the milk containers were literally just normal milk.
Then they stuck 'New receipe' all over the packaging and replaced the normal milk with a kind of syrup milk.
Personally I didn't like the taste change or the fact it was more of a syrup and stopped buying from that point.

It could well be back in 2014....time flies!! And that machine is still sitting in my kitchen unused :confused:

DPD are really annoying me...I ordered last Sun. It went missing but eventually turned up but now DPD have lost it. No response from Tassimo despite many emails

Latest update was that it should be delivered Sat 15th but tracking not updated since 13th...
13 Apr 2017 18:40 Hub 4 - Hinckley We have your parcel, and it's on its way to our Park Royal depot

Super hot

Does anyone know if this is small as ivy or a lot bigger

The Fidelia has one of the bigger water tanks.

unlike the coffee outta these things

why would you want super hot coffee ? dont you want to drink it ?

i love coffee, damn hot like Agent Cooper.

Had no issue with the temperature personally

We have had no problem with the heat all have bee hot and we've tried alot of them

Personally we love the Phillips Senseo. Firstly environmentally it doesn't use the ridiculous packaging these two do, but instead is just coffee in a small pod made of teabag like material. But secondly you can ditch even that if you get a CoffeeDuck which lets you put your own ground coffee in and makes fabulous brews (and is about 50% less per coffee than the pods).
The downside of Senseo is there are less places to buy the ready made pods (as opposed to France where there are whole aisles dedicated to them), although I hear Lidl do great ones (not our local one). but frankly with the £10 forever reusable coffeeduck they are only worth it if you want super convenient.
The single pods make a good half mug of coffee which I then top up from the machine without a pod in to make it an Americano (again something you can't do with the others). There are double pods if you want a full strong cup though.

The Senseo's are good if you just want black coffee but the Tassimo's win if you want something like a latte or hot chocolate - this machine is very good as the water tank is a decent-sized one - it is easy to access but even so, it doesn't need refilling too often.

I bet you're all fun at coffee parties

drinks are hot from this but when adding cold milk rather than the milk creamer pods not so much

Bought one last night...the drinks on their own are £57...so £53 and machine is a great deal...go through TopCashback too

Keep an eye out on amazon where once I got 5 packs for £11.25, Tesco sometimes sells packs for £3 each and from asda I once bought a pack for £2.25. You just have to stock up when you see pods going cheap

How does this compare to Nescafe dolce gusto? is it worth replacing my current machine?

Did any of your orders get stuck on in progress? 4 days and no email or update paid edition via Visa

i ordered on friday night and got an email saying they had got the order straight away, nothing since yet.

I ordered mine Sunday the 23rd got an email today to say its been dispatched I did have to pay 5 pounds more for postage as I live on the isle of Wight

Thanks order on 20th no email at all bank has reserved the 53 quid tho seams very odd to me

It's not strange at all. They're just slow, e.g. I ordered on the 16th, got a notification on the 20th. If you check the thread, you'll find similar stories of their slowness.

Ordered mine last Wednesday and was shipped on Thursday. Arrived today so far impressed with it only tried the L'OR Classique XL which was nice and the smell of it while it was poring into the mug was nice. My local Home and Bargains have loads of different tassimo 16x discs for £2.99.

Thanks. It's good 1st one came fast and paid via PayPal. Got emails then but not this order via Visa . Thanks guys prob out of stock

I ordered mine on 20th......didnt get a confirmation email until 2 days later, followed by texts from DPD yesterday and delivery today. Can't believe how much coffee /tea there is☺️ have ordered a hot water disc from Amazon........ With any luck I'll be able to ditch the kettle. Thank you Op x

Is there not a hot water disc in the back of the maker? Or is it for cleaning only?

Yeah that's for cleaning only.......Tried it this morning ......don't think I did it right though?
Anyone else find it confusing to work on first use? Sure I'll get used to it though....

you don`t descale until red descaling light comes on then take yellow disk out and insert in brewing unit with barcode face down, put descaling solution in water tank with correct amount of water, remove cup stand and replace with large jug, press and hold start/stop button for at least 3 seconds to start the descaling programme, it will now do it automatically until descale and automatic icons flash, about 30 mins, stand by icons light up after this time, empty container and replace under drink outlet, rinse water tank and fill with fresh water, replace back onto tassimo machine, open and close brewing unit keeping the T disk in place and press start/stop button, the machine will rinse itself, do this about 6 times to completely clear the machine descaling is now complete, open brewing unit remove Tdisk and your tassimo is ready to use, hope this helps.

I use the yellow disc to clean it every morning, or if have made a hot choc/latte etc before using for a black coffee. just cleans it out.

Wait. Just so we understand, do you not clean the nozzle piece after each use?

I just tend to drink black coffee after black coffee, so clean each morning by running thru a few times with the yellow disc in. Clean in the dishwasher the removable parts each week. Otherwise, I will clean straight after a latte or hot choc if someone else used it as don't want my coffee tasting of chocolate.

Shiped now. YouTube has video explaining hit to convert cleaning disc to hot water one

Link?

Quite a lot wrong with your review. I have both Nespresso and Tassimo. I would sum up that Tassimo is good for the lattes, cappuccinos and drinking chocolates. Whereas the Nespresso excels with the small strong espressos.

I cannot see the point in using the Nespresso with the Aeroccino. If you have the time and energy to waste with fresh milk, use a proper coffee maker.

I love a strong black coffee and the Nespresso machine is perfect. Coffees like the Dharkan and Kazeer make the loveliest strong coffee I have tasted.

The Tassimo is less good at espresso. However you have stated that there are only TWO espressos, your counting is not very good:
CARTE NOIRE Expresso
Gevalia Espresso
Jacobs Espresso
Jacobs Espresso Ristretto
Tassimo L'OR Espresso Delizioso
Tassimo L'OR Espresso Splendente
Tassimo Milano Espresso

Seven is it?

Tassimo website does NOT charge for delivery, as long as the order is a reasonable size (about 10 packs). Sometimes they have offers, last week I bought 7 packs for the prize of 5 and got free delivery.

Anyway to get free delivery seeing as though the £10 off no longer works

Doesn't work for me...

Weirdly though, got to the end of the transaction after paying with PayPal, and it's showing my order as free shipping even though the shipping section wanted me to pay £3.99 for shipping!

The email said the code works until the 3rd May. For "You and your friends".

Same mate - ended up paying the headline price. Still a great deal regardless.

yes it is free delivery, said £3 99p on mine too but was free.

Good to see they've expanded the espresso range for the Tassimo - last time I ordered there was only Jacobs (very nice) and Carte Noire (all Carte Noir tastes simultaneously both burnt and watery to me but I understand some people like it - that's the point of choice).
I agree about the Dharkan and Kazeer - great coffees. And now that Nestle have opened a Nespresso store within cycling distance op my house I'll be drinking a lot more of them.

I disagree about the Tassimo's ability to make latte or cappuccino because (as I said) I don't take sugar in my coffee - unsweetened milk is not an option for the Tassimo (unless you just make a black coffee and add fresh milk, which is how I used it). If you're adding sugar anyway then I'm sure their capsules of sweetened UHT milk are fine, I found them sickly and revolting.
If you like drinks with steamed milk the aeroccino is amazing and much quicker & easier to use than a proper coffee maker. I'm seriously considering getting a 2nd Nespresso just so I can have nan Aeroccino at home as well as at work. Its only limitation is that it's too small to make a latte - but ideal for a cappuccino or flat white (without sugar!).

I have to agree with smartdave, the lattes/cappucinos are nice for me. Although, the Costa capp ain't a fave. I prefer the Carte Noire ones. Anyway, I'm pretty glad there were a decent amount included in this deal. The L'or lattes are new to me, and seem rather nice :smiley:

Btw, top tip for Tassimo folk - when the milk disc begins pouring out, shake the milk round the cup/mug for 10 seconds or so. Randomly, I recently found that this alters the taste a little bit and it mixes better.

P.s. Nestle can take a running jump.

Having seen reviews on hot chocolate pods on tassimo don't seem to be rated that well..

Which pods are good for hot chocolate as i do like Costa hot chocolate ?

I had a dolce gusto and loved it bit compared to the tassimo its not great I love the drinks with this machine :smiley:

I like the Cadbury ones and Oreo ones. If I remember rightly, I tried a Milka a long time ago and it wasn't very chocolatey but it might have change since

pods are too expensive

Expired deal! Just went to order it and it's been taken down from the site :confused:

Was a great offer, must have sold out.

Was a good offer whilst it lasted. Never imagine my post would get so much heat. Glad I bagged one for myself. It was noted as until either 15th May or as long as stocks lasted. Must have sold all units set aside for the deal.

Brillian tdeal thankyou but my cupboards now look like a tassimo shop can't stop buying the pods lol x

Thanks op

very pleased mine arrived today :smiley: thanks op.

Of anyone has Costco card pods on offer at the moment. Works out 19p per coffee for Americano. £15.50 5 boxes 80 drinks.
