Advantages: Quick, convenient, easy to use.

Disadvantages: Poor quality drinks, expensive.

A nice little machine, convenient for home use. Easy to use, refill and clean. That's where the good points end. True coffee lovers will be disappointed with the quality of the drinks and the 'drinks machine' taste which they deliver. In the office a couple of my colleagues now choose instant coffee every time over the coffee produced by the Tassimo. The milk and creamer products that go with the coffee are passable but not a patch on the real thing. There are a good variety of discs available at supermarkets, but these are expensive. All in all a nice little consumer package, but I would not recommend this to anyone who likes their coffee shop coffee, you will find it a very poor relation! Believe me, I have tried every disc available and they all disappoint. I would recommend spending a little more and getting a proper coffee machine as the novelty of pressing a button soon wears off!

Summary: Spend a little more if you know your beans!
