Advantages: Easy to use and clean

Disadvantages: Running costs

Introduction-

The tassimo is a disc coffee system which makes producing a hot beverage both simple and fast.It utilises a disc system that contains all the ingredients you will need to produce a perfect hot beverage.With a extensive and growing range of disc's available the tassimo range offers something for most peoples varing tastes.


The Unit-

The Braun TA1200 tasimo is very similar in size and appearance to a standard coffee maker but with a few major differences.Unlike a standard coffee maker there is no awkward filter that you have to clean and replace and you no longer have to measure out and adjust the amount of coffee you need to make the perfect hot beverage. With an easy to use interface and a simple to use one button activation system the tassimo is quick and easy to use.A modern and sleek design will make this product a great addition to any kitchen.

The Disc System-

The main advantage of this product is the easy to use tassimo disc system.You simply select your required disc and place it into the disc holder situated on the front of the unit.When you close the disc holder a barcode scanner reads the barcode on the disc and selects the required settings automatically to deliver the perfect beverages in less than 30 seconds.Once completed you simply remove the used disc and dispose of with the minimum of cleaning required and you are ready to repeat the process.

The Range-

With an extensive range of discs available from Coffee,Cappucino,Tea,Hot Chocolate and the ever popular Starbucks Coffee you will never tire of using this handy piece of technology.With new products being added all the time the tassimo is a versatile product that will last for many years to come.

Cleaning-

All you need to do to clean the unit is simply wipe the unit over with a slightly damp cloth and remove the drip tray and adjustable cup holder and wash them in the sink.You are supplied with a special cleaning disc that you will needto use before you use the unit first time then periodically with use.Once again you simply insert and allow the machine a minute to complete the cycle.

Running Costs-

The unit will cost about £90 -£100 and the disc's are available from about £3 for a pack of sixteen discs for standard coffee and tea.The latte and hot choclate packs are similar in price but only contain eight discs and eight milk discs that allow for the production of the required beverage.As you use normal tap water the discs and associated energy costs are the only costs you will needto pay for after initial purchase of the unit.

Summary-

A versatile easy to use system will make this a fun popular product,the beverages that it delivers are of a high quality and with the ability to vary the strength of the drink by the touch of a button will suit the tastes of most users.Not the cheapest product to use but occasional use will allow that first or last drink of the day to taste that bit more special.Tis products gets my seal of approval and the minimal amount of cleaning gets the thumbs up from me.
