To feel I've wasted my money on Tassimo?

[Hairydogmummy]

So we got a Tassimo yesterday...the my way one on offer in Costco. Have read some really good reviews about them but so far we've had the Costa Latte and the Kenco Americano and it tastes like it's come from a vending machine! Not sure what I expected to be honest. I have a 'proper' espresso machine but not using it that much as it's a bit of a faff. We've looked at v expensive ones but decided we wouldn't use it enough to justify the expense and the ones that do their own milk seemed as much faff as the traditional machine.

Agree, Tassimo is shit. I had one and threw it away. I daydream about getting a nice expensive espresso machine..

Oi! I thought someone was quoting me, when I couldn't remember saying it! Then I realised there's two of us - only one of whom can spell properly and it's not me!

I've looked into the recycling of the tassimo pods, but it's a 120 mile round trip to the closest place that will collect them.

It depends what you want, OP but www.johnlewis.com/nespresso-citiz-coffee-machine-by-magimix-chrome-effect/p2907176 is amazing. I know quite a few people (including me!) who has this. It's great for americanos, espressos, etc. There's another bit you can buy - a milk frother - or you can just pick up one for a couple quick in ikea.

I went through 3 Tassimo machines before I came to my senses. Each one was shite and the pods were really expensive for mediocre to bad coffee. I bought myself a bean to cup machine (Delonghi Eletta Cappuccino) as a birthday present to myself and haven’t looked back since.
