what can i say–i’m into economics of this tassimo–the one cup at a time machine–and have not in 2 months ever wasted a cup of 6 different brands i’ve put into the tassimo–now i drink a cup of something depending on the mood or occasion–anytime i feel like it–you should too. . . i figured it out a cup of cappincino costs close to $3 something a cup–ok you get to make 10 cups at a cost of $10 plus wear and tear of machine–i think i save more than 2/3 here–per package of 10. . . you should too. . .

I didn’t buy one of these, was just researching it. I wanted to share my experience because those of you consumers who read these reviews will hopefully appreciate what I’ve learned. I’m not a coffee drinker but I love tea and cocoa and especially chai lattes. I thought this machine would be just the thing to create all kinds of lattes without coffee, like chai or maybe fruit-flavored tea lattes. Or perhaps pumpkin spice during the holidays. However, as I have researched the available products, I have seen very little choice in tea and absolutely no indication that chai lattes are or will be available. In fact an email I sent to Tassimo customer service came back with a canned reply that didn’t seem to even acknowledge my question and told me to send my “suggestions” to their product team.
So I’m afraid I won’t be buying this machine in spite of it’s promise; and I’m also afraid I’ll have to confirm the one reviewer’s comment that there are few tea products available; and also that customer service is not really interested in helping a potential customer or improving the product. Sorry tea drinkers, you know as well as I do that it’s a Coffee Nation out there, and this is just another symptom.

1. don’t care what your coffee tastes like
2. enjoy your Espressos with no crema whatsoever
3. take pride in the fact that your purchase is supporting Kraft Foods, Altria, and therefore Phillip Morris
4. like your Cappucino to taste like your 2 year old’s bottle of milk (the milk is completely overpowering)
5. don’t like to support your local business owners, who are probably the ones supporting you.
Basically, it fits right in with our single serve, have someone else make it for you, society. I enjoy supporting my local coffee house (not Starbucks by the way) and the difference in cost is minimal. It might pay for itself in 5 years, but that’s a lot of lost time meeting with acquaintances and enjoying the patio at my local coffee house. My wife is the connoiseur of Espressos and the like but I find it hard to justify the cost and waste created by this product to get a mediocre cup of joe. But that’s just me. . . .
By the way, if you’re wondering why I gave it 5 stars, it’s because the machine itself works great! But that’s not what I’m after. Customer service still hasn’t gotten back to me about returning the machine.

I bought htis coffee maker online without realizung it was available in local stores. I immediatly called thier customer service and was told they could not reverse the order (it had been seconds)but was told to refuse delivery. The item arrived at the USPS and I told the clerk to refuse delivery, which he did electronicly by scanning it in and out again. Well, 5 weeks later and Tassimo has billed my credit card twice and told me they don’t have the item and will not look into tracking. They refuse to credit my account. The customer service I have found to be the worst I have ever had, very unfriendly and not helpful at all. Further more I consider thier actions as fraudulent. Great coffee maker, the very worst in customer support.
