Tassimo coffee maker

[bluemoon]

I have been tempted by the recent television advertisment to buy a Tassimo coffee maker. Can anybody recommend having one. Thanks

Do you drink enough coffee to make sure you will still want to use it in five years time? Most of us get carried away by the excitement of having these new gadgets and within a few months they're collecting dust and taking up valuable cupboard space in the kitchen.(Or perhaps I've just learnt from bitter experience !)

<PRE>That's what I am afraid of WendyS. More junk in the cupboard.</PRE>

I was sorta temped too, but then I thought about it. One cup at a time, probably have to go miles to get the refills..... - nah, I'll stick with me Gold Blend and a spoon ta.

Wendy is dead right, my wife is the biggest sucker on earth for buying gadgets that get used for three weeks and then never used again.

Anyone want three different types of hot sandwich makers, or a George Foreman griller, or a juice making machine, or three different lots of gadgets to trim your figure through gentle exercize or how about a choice of four different vaccuum cleaners.

By the way we also have a coffee perculator and we do not ever drink coffee and we never did.

Both me and the wife drink a lot of coffee - between 6-12 cups a day each.

I purchased somehting similar called an Uno as it was reduced in Woolies. I used it a dozen times (on various different days) before I went back to the Instant - just too much hassle.

Buy it. I've had one since christmas and it is wonderful. It makes brilliant drinks, and its only about 70 odd quid now. The pods are quite pricey but they are such good quality, it's definitely worth it. It's nothing like any of the other cheap coffee machines around at the moment as you really can make hot chocolate, cappuccino, espresso, even tea. BUY IT!!!

What happens if in 12months they are not selling enough pods and stop making them? you'll be stuck with a coffee maker you can't use. Buy a cheaper one 1st and see if you use that, then buy an expensive version when you know you will use it.
