People spend a lot of money on great tasting coffee and will also wait in long lines to get it. I witness this whenever I go to our local Target and see the lines outside that one coffee shop that has a line streaming around the building. I can't understand not only wanting to pay and endure the inconvenience but also to be willing to do so when it's not necessary. My parents always used the traditional brewing systems and given how much coffee they drink, probably ideal for them. The Tassimo by Bosch T20 Single Serve Coffee Brewer is a great machine for those wanting some variety in drinks, a single serving, a quick cup and some amazing taste.
Upon receiving my complimentary Tassimo T20, I loved the sleek new white finish that matches my kitchen much better than the dark version. I also like the variety of types of drinks and brands available to fit so many different tastes and moods. For example:
- Gevalia
- Nabob
- Maxwell House
- Twinings
- Carte Noire
- Mastro Lorenzo
- Maxwell House Cafe Collections
- Jacobs
- Kenco
The T20 uses what are called T-Discs and they are individual sized, coded disks containing the beverage of your choice. The Tassimo reads the codes and knows how to automatically adjusts amount of water, brewing time and temperature. It's a really nice set up and is beyond easy. It delivers that same expensive tasting cup of amazement without the hassle of waiting in line or the high price. It's an on demand luxury to have anytime you want.
Pro's:
- Convenient and easy to use - one button
- Variety of drinks - some drinks require two disks to achieve the drink - packages come with both disks needed so no need to purchase separate products
- It's very quiet
- Easy to clean
- The tank of water holds enough for seven to eight servings so you don't have to keep refilling
- The drinks are fresh since it's single servings and not sitting around in a large can or canister for use
- It's small and compact and doesn't take up a lot of space
- Perfect for on the go due to the quick brewing time
- Color inserts are available to add more personalization to your kitchen decor
- Most parts are dishwasher safe
Con's:
- Some might find the costs at around $129 for the unit to be expensive but I think for the quality, size, taste and convenience, it's well worth the cost.
- The price for the T-Disks can add up but again, if you are a frequent shopper to the expensive coffee shops, this will cost you less and the advantage of convenience outweighs the cost.
In summary, I love the Tassimo line of brewers and the great choice of T-Discs available. My favorite is the Milka Hot Chocolate, 16-Count T-Discs for Tassimo Coffeemakers (Pack of 2)
which costs $19.97 for a two pack and each pack has 16 discs which is a good price when you taste how good Milka Hot Chocolate is! The Tassimo is perfect for any type of hot beverage drinker and would make an excellent Christmas gift.

. I wasn't going to buy one for Christmas but we were just laying down and I asked her if she could believe that it was almost time for Christmas. In such excitement, she rubbed her hands together and said, 'I can't wait to get my drum set.' It was at that point that I realized I was going to let her down big time by not getting it.
