tassimo questions pls

[FoJo]

Having pondered over various reviews I have ordered (& just received) a tassimo 20 from amazon for £65 for my birthday in jan from dh. I've registered it with tassimo & now want to order my £20 worth of free goodies so I'm ready to go on my birthday. I'm wondering...on the webiste there is a lovely picutre of a latte machiatto, lots of lovely layers in a nice glass, but how does it actually come out of the machine, it obviously wont look anything like that, but is it worth it for a treat? Also what is the 'creamer from milk' - do i need these? Which is the nicest hot choc? I see that the suchard is half the price of the others, but the others are out of stock? Any other recommendations welcome. Also once I;ve spent my voucher where is the best/cheapest place to get them.
Thanks all

Lucky you. I'd love one of these.

Most supermarkets stock them but unless it's a big superstore they won't necessarily have all the types of coffee. I got DH this machine last Christmas - it's great. He likes the Colombian as it's strong. They do a medium roast which is more to my taste. The hot choc was very rich, we had the Suchard one (purple colour wrap) but I prefer Chocolate Ovaltine (granny emoticon) so didn't buy them again. Not sure about the latte machiatto so can't help you there. We don't really like milky coffees so never bought them.

The packs of coffee are around £3.20 a pack depending which shop and I never see them on special offer either which is annoying!

Enjoy!

Thanks Kbear, interested to hear from anyone else?

bump?
