The team at TASSIMO would like to know about Mumsnetters favourite hot drinks.

Heres what TASSIMO have to say: "TASSIMO has all your favourite drinks from the brands you love such as Costa, Cadbury, Kenco, Twinings, Milka, Carte Noire and Suchard. With more than 35 different drinks for you to choose from, including classic Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato, Espresso, Hot Chocolate and Tea, yours will be ready at the push of a button. Its as easy as one, two, tea."

So, what are your favourite hot drinks? Do you like to start your day with a latte or cappuccino? Maybe you drink gallons of tea each day? Or do you keep it very simple with the odd espresso?

Are there any coffee shop drinks you wish you could make at home? Perhaps a Latte Macchiato Caramel? Grin Or maybe a hot chocolate topped with marshmallows? Have you ever tried to recreate these at home? Or do you consider them to be an occasional treat? If you're a tea drinker, do you like to stick to your favourite brew or try new varieties?

Whatever your hot drink of choice is, TASSIMO would love to hear about it.

Theyd also love to know whether you have a TASSIMO or whether it has made it onto your wish list. If you have a TASSIMO, tell us what you love about it! Feel free to share any of your TASSIMO recipes from your repertoire.

Everyone who adds their comments to this thread will be entered into a prize draw to win a TASSIMO T20 and 2 packs of T DISCs worth £109.

Please note your comments may be included on TASSIMO's social media channels, and possibly elsewhere, so please only post if you're comfortable with this.

Thanks and good luck,

MNHQ

My favourite hot drink is a latte, I just LOVE coffee! Especially flavoured lattes like baileys or caramel. And I love this time of year for the pumpkin spice and gingerbread latte YUM!

I dont have a Tassimo :( or any other posh coffee maker for that matter! It would be amazing to be able to make them at home.. Might ask for one for christmas actually :P

DH loves his coffee (we have a Nespresso machine), however I prefer a tea, latte or hot chocolate.

I'd really like to have a choice of lower calorie hot chocolate options as well as fruit teas. I do use our Nespresso to make a latte (we have the milk frother).

beanandspud · 05/10/2013 22:44

My hot drink habit is very dull - black coffee in the morning and black tea in the afternoon. Occasionally have a hot chocolate at bedtime.

My favourite though is during the summer when I am up before everyone else and I sit outside in my dressing gown with a big mug of 'good' coffee - sets me up for the day!

tinypumpkin · 06/10/2013 16:25

Chai latte, yum!

snowwhite27 · 06/10/2013 17:14

I personally love lattes n hot chocolate. My husband is an avid cappuccino drinker. I would love to b able to make hot chocolate just like they do at coffee shops. Don't have a Tassimo n would just love it if I got chosen

nerysw · 06/10/2013 20:07

I'm a big fan of flavoured coffees and have a selection of syrups at home to liven up decent instant (usually vanilla, amaretto and hazelnut). At the moment I'm drinking the Dowe Egberts Hazelnut coffee (lazy, don't even have to add syrup..) and Beanies Cinder Toffee instant which is delicious. But I have to start the day with a cup of tea or I'm good for nothing.

FutureMum · 06/10/2013 20:22

Mine is a hot chocolate, I am about the only person over 14 in my very big extended family who doesn't drink coffee, and I never adapted to tea when I moved to the UK. There's something indulgent and appetising about a really nice hot chocolate, not only in the height of the winter, but all year around! DH loves tea and coffee so he would put the rest of functions of the machine to very good use!

Vegan hot chocolate options please. We won't touch Cadburys.

wibblyjelly · 06/10/2013 21:52

Since having ds, and drinking lots of coffee to stay awake during night feeds, I've started to really enjoy coffee. My current favorite flavour is gingerbread Grin

Punkatheart · 06/10/2013 23:08

Tea. I am addicted. But when Waitrose started giving away free tea and coffee, then it was a coffee now and again. Earl Grey for tea and cappuccino for coffee. Hot drinks are so comforting!

pollywollydoodle · 07/10/2013 00:02

i haven't got a tassimo but would love one so that i cpuld make proper frothy cappuccino and hot chocolate at home (those frothy sachet things don't taste right and the twizzlers for milk don't really work)
i drink decaff cappuccino but still like it to have a strong flavour . Hot choc needs to be carbonnel with a bit of dk choc melted into it...

derektheladyhamster · 07/10/2013 14:39

I've just looked at the machine, I didn't know that you could make tea in it Blush or hot chocolate Blush They do look a little expensive though for the pot things. I debating putting one on my xmas list Grin

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 07/10/2013 15:10

love the petit dejuner wish they were not so expensive though

mindingalongtime · 07/10/2013 18:35

I'd love to be able to make a quick cup without a teapot, but as I hate a bag in a mug, I'd have to be convinced to buy as I would be drinking hot chocolate ll the time instead and would get fatter! But DD would love one for Christmas and if I won this, it would take the mystery out of buying one as faced with shelf loads in JLP yesterday, I got confused!!

Dylanlovesbaez · 07/10/2013 18:45

I love love love Starbucks caramel macchiatos and wish I could make them the same. Also love costa and Starbucks Christmas flavours.

Dylanlovesbaez · 07/10/2013 18:46

I don't have a tassimo but In laws do and they love it and it makes me enjoy visiting them!

SmallBee · 07/10/2013 18:50

You have to go a long way to best a rich dark hot chocolate with whipped cream, mini marshmallows & flaked chocolate sprinkles on top.

BornToFolk · 07/10/2013 19:28

Tea first thing, cappuccino mid-morning and then more tea in the afternoon! I do like a macchiato after a big meal too, and a cup of herbal something before bed. I've also got well into a nice cup of hot milk before bed too.

I don't really drink coffee at home (my mid-morning cappuccino is from the coffee shop at work) because instant is always a disappointment and it's a faff making coffee for one person any other way. I'd love a Tassimo!

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 07/10/2013 19:32

We have no fancy drink many devices here!

I like milky tea, or black earl grey.

I'm not a coffee drinker, but will make an exception for a mily one with a good glug of Baileys in it!

My favourite hot drink at home has to be hot chocolate, if I'm out I'll splash out with cream and marshmallows!

My favourite hot holiday drink is vin chaud, mulled wine here at Christmas comes somewhere close to hitting the spot!

NoBloodyMore · 07/10/2013 19:38

I love coffee but can only drink instant at home as we don't have any coffee gadgets.

We have a nespresso machine in work, makes going into work that bit more pleasant.

Amma2010 · 08/10/2013 00:38

I love Tetley tea. I drink atleast a couple of strong cups of tea a day. I also love Earl Grey but it has to be the right one:)

viperslast · 08/10/2013 01:02

I love tea, straight builders tea hot and plentiful! Coffee I like a nice skinny latte with a smooth coffee. I used to have vanilla syrup but found it so sweet (and the sugar free are awful) I would love a vanilla flavour to flavour rather than sweeten the coffee.

Other than that a way of making really good hot chocolate would be great!

bumpandbeyond · 08/10/2013 12:15

We love all sorts of coffees at home, expresso, americano, cappuccino, mocha, you name it we love it and we have it at home - all the time!

dottyaboutstripes · 08/10/2013 13:25

Builders tea keeps me going all day but I do love an indulgent hot choc in the evening
