Winter is here (almost), so looking to invest in a good coffee machine. I think this is a good deal. Any shared thoughts by experienced home coffee brewers will be appreciated. Thanks :smile:

We had a Tassimo (at half price via HUKD) a couple of years ago. Probably not this exact model but looked very similar. We ended up selling it on because none of us were particularly impressed with the coffee. Since then we've acquired a Nespresso Inissia (Krups) for about the same price and prefer it much more, but of course that's all down to personal taste.

This looks like an updated version of the model I have that I got a couple of years ago. I think at the time I got it on a deal for £50 which included a load of coffee pods (on their own worth at least £20), a £20 voucher to buy more pods from the Tassimo site and two latte glasses. So I'm not sure this is a good deal. Not going to vote though as I don't know the differences between the models (although saying that I'm not sure what major differences there could possible be - you whack in a pod, put a cup under the dispenser and press go - how much variation can there be?)

These Bosch machines are very good. We use the ours every day. Voted hot

Thank you all for sharing your thoughts. I hope to hear more from others as well.

We've got a tassimo, but hardly use it now as you have to use Tassimo pods and there is no alternatives, unlike other coffee pod machines.

You sure about that? I believe you can buy like-for replacements. Anyone else comment on this, please?

OOS, good machine though, we use one in the kitchen at work
Whole load of pods available, not just coffee, even teas and hot chocolates
All on Amazon :smile: We went for one of the variety packs last time, think it was this one amazon.co.uk/Tas…ods
Some good deals if you buy the big packs of ones you like. I like black coffee, and Costa Americano is 80 pods for £23 - that's less than 30p a pod! amazon.co.uk/TAS…ods
Hope this helped :thumbsup:

As my track record of deals posted is lacklustre, I am glad to be of some use :joy:

You are being too hard on yourself. What you habe suggested is a deal in itself.
Have a great day!

These machines used to be good, but they changed the milk formulation a few years back so the milk pod is now half the size, so not sure if they now use condensed milk or what. Needless to say, they completely ruined the taste!!! If you google it, you'll find plenty of people almost begging them to change it back, but I guess they wanted to cut costs.

Love our Tassimo. In fact loved it so much got one for the office too in the great deals on here a year or two ago.
I actually prefer the Costa Lattes it produces to the real Costa Latte although my wife thinks I'm insane with that thinking!
Pods aren't cheap, but it's better than instant and a pittance compared to coffee shops.
Just trying out some new Lattes too as they finally released a skinny version (L'Or not Costa). Not bad, less sweet, which some complain about the other types....
