Use a water softener? Reconsider your options!We were suckers to buy a second machine, (but we did because we liked the coffee): Our first machine only lasted two years--a lot of money spent for the relatively short amount of time it was used. Lately, the discs often malfunction--the seals don't hold and it's no fun cleaning up grounds spewed EVERYWHERE, whether at 5 a.m. and leaving for work or right before a leisurely weekend breakfast. Customer service is frustrating, discouraging, and eventually enraging: Phone calls go to the Phillipines, where the reps have trouble understanding and speaking English; emails go to reps in Canada, where they "pass the buck", not able to answer legitimate questions and claiming they have no contact with the manufacturer of the discs. Faulty discs are replaced with more faulty discs--with the same date and time codes!!! and months after the initial report of problems!!!And for those with a water softener: Be aware that there is a short sentence buried back on page 20-something in the instruction booklet: If you have a water softener, you should use bottled water in your machine. But, hey, we have a water softener and started using bottled water--a real pain to not be able to use fresh water from the tap--and our discs STILL blew up!! So who knows? Tassimo Customer Service sure doesn't! And, if you still decide to buy a Tassimo, don't buy your discs through their online automatic delivery system: Delivery usually takes 2-3 weeks and you can never really be sure how or when the package was shipped. And replacement shipments are never tracked, per Tassimo policy. Awesome Machine!I love my product...hopefully I will stay out of Starbucks as much as i can!Keurig for TassimoI bought both the Keurig and Tassimo and ended up returning the Keurig. There is absolutely no comparison. The Keurig makes a watered down horrible cup of coffee that is along the lines of instant coffee. There is a not a single advantage about the Keurig. The Tassimo can do both coffee and specialty drinks such as lattes and caps. It heats up instantly unlike the Keurig. You are able to buy Starbucks coffee which is hands down the best for these type of machines. It saves more space and is better and more professional looking and has the ability to use creamer cups. All in all there is no comparison. Only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because nothing really compares to a strong home cup of coffee ground from the bean. However it is five stars for this type of machine that puts ease and speed into having quality coffee.Its like a Keurig....Only BetterCoffee...check. Hot Chocolate...check. Latte....check. Expresso....check. Chappuccino...check. Wait but look at all the coffee flavors you can get on a Keurig. I prefer variety of drink over variety of flavor any day. Think for a second. How many different flavor sodas do you drink??? Probably 2-4. I don't see anyone complaining that we need more soda flavors. There is no need for the ridiculous amount of flavors offered on the Keurig. My new daily ritual is coffee before work, after. Best parts of my day. Great machine.defective itemReceived a defective item....how can this happen? Isn't there a quality control inspection before it is even packaged?! For the price that it is being offered, I think there should! Luckily i bought this through Amazon. The return process is so much easier than any other company. Returned this and ordered another....hopefully I get a unit that works this time.Product DescriptionBetter Brewing By Design TASSIMO is a brewing system unlike any other. Remarkable in its ability to offer an exceptional combination of quality, convenience, consistency and versatility. Only TASSIMO offers a choice of coffee, cappuccinos and lattes made with real milk, crema, tea and hot chocolate. Each perfectly brewed, fresh by the cup, at the touch of a button. The secret to brewing each cup perfectly is the patented TASSIMO DISC (T DISC) technology. A unique barcode on each T DISC tells the TASSIMO machine how to prepare your chosen beverage using the optimal brew time, temperature, and amount of water. Because the brewing takes place inside the T DISC, you can prepare different drinks, one after the other, with no flavor transfer from cup to cup. Compact, modern design with satin-silver panels with chrome accents. The integrated LED-user interface guides you through every step of the brewing cycle and convenient on/off switch in the front of the brewer makes operation easy and intuitive. The brewer automatically reverts to stand-by mode after every brew cycle thereby saving energy when not in use. Automatic cleaning and de-scaling program ensures easy cleaning and virtually no-effort maintenance. The brewer includes an XL 67 ounce removable water tank and 2 MAVEA water filters. An integrated storage compartment for Service TDISCS and power cord.Read more...
