Bosch TAS1000UC Tassimo Single-Serve Coffee Brewer, Anthracite

Amazon.com Product Description
With the touch of a button, this fully automatic single-serve coffee brewer makes coffee, tea, and hot chocolate, as well as cappuccinos and lattes with real milk. The machine uses Tassimo discs (T-Discs), which contain precisely measured amounts of the ingredients for each drink and are sealed to protect the flavors inside. With barcode technology, the brewer scans the barcode printed on the label of each T-Disc to identify the drink desired. The system then expertly adjusts to the optimal brewing time, temperature, and amount of water needed. Simply insert a T-Disc, press the button, and in about a minute, sit back and enjoy a coffeehouse-quality hot beverage, one cup at a time. Try over 40 beverage varieties from 12 distinct brands, including Starbucks. All the brewing happens inside the T-Disc using a unique inverse flow, so beverages pour directly from the T-Disc into the cup, allowing for different drinks to be prepared one after the other with no flavor transfer from cup to cup. There’s no measuring, no fuss, and virtually no cleanup. The coffee brewer also allows users to customize the drink size and strength; its fully automatic brew cycle can be interrupted at any time to make adjustments. In addition, it automatically reverts to stand-by mode after every brew cycle in order to save energy when not in use. User-friendly controls include a convenient front-access on/off switch and a five-section LED ring for stand-by mode, descaling, fill tank, manual mode, and automatic mode. Other highlights include 3.3 bars of pressure, a height-adjustable cup stand, a removable drip tray, and a removable water-tank lid, as well as a water-level indicator, an exclusive flow-through water heater for faster brewing, an automatic cleaning and de-scaling program, and an integrated storage compartment for T-Discs and the quick-start guide. Housed in a compact, modern design, the UL-approved 1600-watt coffee brewer measures 13-1/5 by 8 by 11 inches.

Product Description
Better 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.

This is our first experience with a Tassimo coffee maker and we’re delighted – almost feel as though we’ve emerged from the Stone Age to the 21st century!

We’re very much of the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” thought, so we felt no need for a new coffee maker. But, curiosity and favorable reports got the best of us and we now have this Bosch. What a treat!

The printed directions accompanied by illustrations are easy to follow. The booklet holds directions in several languages as well as Troubleshooting pages. (To date, we’ve had no trouble – only great coffee). The cleaning process is simple and quick, and the piercing unit is easily rinsed under running water.

So far, our favorite T-discs are the Starbucks Caffe Verona and the Carte Noir Breakfast Blend. Life is good but better with this Bosch!

I have to say this item has impressed me more than any other kitchen appliance I have purchased in the last fifteen years.

Like all new “concepts”, you tend to raise your eyebrows a bit about a new method of preparing an age old food preparation, whether it be a blender, chopper, or in this case the traditional coffee maker. Frankly, my only real concern was the future availability of the Tassimo Coffee “T-discs” as without them, the system becomes useless of course.

But after my father passed away two years ago, my mom began to drink “instant coffee” after being a brewed coffee devotee for over 65 years. Brewing 8 cups of traditionally made coffee for a single elderly person just seemed to be a big waste of time, as well as unused coffee. She seemed to be, a perfect candidate for this unique individual cup coffee brewer. Having tried this item once in an upscale Resort Hotel on a business trip, I was convinced to give it a try as an answer to my Mom’s particular situation.

The coffee was absolutely WONDERFUL! She has fell in love with Starbucks Columbian “pods”, but I also purchased the Verona, Cappucino, as well as the Expresso Pods and will continue to purchase new blends as they beome available. As my tea drinking Sister lives nearby and visits often, I also purchased the Twinings Chai Latte as well as the Earl Grey Tea “T-Discs” so she could enjoy a hot beverage with our Mom while they are together.

Although I traditionally grind & brew my own Gevalia Coffee Beans here at home in a 8 cup brewer, I decided to purchase an additional Bosch Tassimo maker for my home as well; as the availability of Expresso and Cappuccino brews is something I can now enjoy as I desire. Now, my Sister’s best friend who lost her husband recently has tried it at my Mom’s home, and they purchased her a new Bosch Tassimo maker for her home for her recent birthday gift.

Incredibly easy to operate, my 87 year old mother has no problem in brewing the wonderfully fresh hot brewed coffee she had enjoyed for over 65 years.

I want to thank Amazon.com for once again searching out yet another unique and quality made kitchen appliance that has become a big winner for our entire family of coffee and tea lovers. I just received an Email from Amazon notifying me of a new shipment of Tassimo T-discs that has arrived at their central warehouse which is just another way this fine Internet Products purveyor does an outstanding job for their regular customers.

THANK YOU AMAZON!!!
