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.

I can't get the milk right at home so here I drink almost black coffee with lots of sugar (or if Lidl has them in; caramel or vanilla syrup) We have a filter machine and buy 5 strength coffee as DH grew up on super strong Greek coffee that could strip paint at 5 paces...

Out-and-about I am horribly addicted to Cinnamon Lattes from Cafe Nero and bloody love the Christmas Gingerbread and Eggnog ones that Starbucks does (just another month or two to go...)

ummunono · 02/10/2013 20:12

I'm a coffee addict too. I usually have a latte in the morning (Decaf at the moment as pregnant), and then americano with a splash of milk. I need good, strong, smooth coffee but not bitter. Tassimo please can you make a proper chai spicy latte? and a Moroccan mint tea.

knittedslippersx3 · 02/10/2013 20:14

I have a tassimo and would love costa vanilla latte.

Cuddlydragon · 02/10/2013 20:17

I'm currently addicted to a certain coffee chain's mocha orange. Just like Terry's orange in a mug. Seriously though, coffee in any guise is essential. Easier the better!

AllThoseDirtyWords · 02/10/2013 20:22

I love the Tassimo Coxta cappauchino but I would love a Costa Mocha! Also how about a lemon green tea?

Mandz07 · 02/10/2013 20:23

My favourite hot drinks changes depending on the time of day. First drink of the day is a big mug of tea(1 of around 20 a dayConfused) I constantly have a mug of something in my hand!! Afternoon I like a moccha, in between the tea! Night time when everyone is asleep I usually have a mug of hot chocolate while reading a book in my favourite comfy chair xx

WildThongsHeartString · 02/10/2013 20:24

My absolute favourite is a Costa Flat White. For me it is the perfect balance of strength and creaminess. It's a rare treat though as my budget doesn't stretch to daily Costas. No way could I create it at home, I suppose that's what makes it special.

CissyMeldrum · 02/10/2013 20:38

I love coffee with warm milk in the morning ,tea every other time and cocoa in the cold ,I find hot chocolate too sweet for me

AintNobodyGotTimeFurThat · 02/10/2013 21:05

I am a keen hot drink fiend.

I love Cadbury's hot chocolate, Twinning's tea and Kenco coffee.

But I also enjoy some English and Yorkshire tea, Nescafe Gold Blend and fresh coffee.

There is nothing nicer than a nice refreshing cup of tea to make your day go smoothly, a charming cup of coffee to wake you up in the morning and keep you going during the day and a tasty hot chocolate to help you wind down after a bath in the night.

snowymum12 · 02/10/2013 21:13

I am a rooibos addict! It's just the most refreshing type of tea, in my opinion. It's lovely with a dash of milk and doesn't contain any caffeine or tannins so is pretty good for you too.

When I'm out I love a flat white. I'm not really sure how it's that much different to a latte or a cappuccino but it always goes down a treat!!

Starbucks white mocha please i would love to make this at home.

Costa hazelnut latte being my next fav but i also love the christmas coffee as well.

manyhands · 02/10/2013 21:20

Caramel macchiato reminds me of when I could afford takeaway coffee! Love it.

Steffanoid · 02/10/2013 21:22

my favourite hot drink is chocolate with caramel flarour and sneaky whipped cream on top Wink

nickdrakeslovechild · 02/10/2013 21:31

If its tea then only Yorkshire tea will do. I love a good hot chocolate with lots of whipped cream and marshmallows (must put the marshmallows in before the cream so it melts and goes all gooey) I used to run a shop and all the bosses from head office use to come to me if they were anywhere near just for my coffee, in the staff room I put a peculator and lots of different syrups it also made the shop smell lovely. Would be great to have the Tdiscs with some yummy flavours like Irish coffee.

ThePortlyPinUp · 02/10/2013 21:31

I like hot chocolate with whipped cream and a flake.

LottieLaBouff · 02/10/2013 21:31

We have a Tassimo machine and it's the best thing ever! Makes more than just coffee and we'd be lost without ours! It's quicker than boiling the kettle too.

Costa Caramel Latte with added Caramel syrup (Monin, the one Costa actually use) and a bit of squirty cream on the top is my favourite. I shamefully have one every day! Quicker than actual Costa.
My OH prefers the Twinings breakfast tea and the Cadbury's hot chocolate. Add in a handful of mini marshmallows before you start your machine and you end up with frothy sweet hot chocolate! Bit of squirty cream and a dusting of cocoa powder tops it off. Grin

Whereisegg · 02/10/2013 21:33

I drink 2 cups of tea every morning, and it isn't advisable to talk to me before the first.

Tea is mostly my drink of choice, but I love a 'proper' black coffee too (only one as any more than that and I'm bouncing off the walls Grin), but really, you can't beat a hot chocolate made with milk, and a splash of double cream to finish.

MyNameIsInigoMontoya · 02/10/2013 21:40

My favourite is "dishwater coffee" I'm afraid - not very strong and lots of milk so it looks quite grey! Brew

But I do like lattes too, and like a "proper" coffee sometimes when I'm in the mood. Hot chocolate is lovely too but more of an occasional treat.

Actually the other thing I really love is Spanish-style, really thick dark hot chocolate, preferably with churros to dip in it. But not had that in years as I've not been to Spain and it's not the same here (probably luckily for my waistline...).

missorinoco · 02/10/2013 21:59

Earl grey tea, with a smidgen of milk. Always dubious that coffee makers can do decent tea.

An occasional luxury hot chocolate, I used to like Suchards, had forgotten it for a while.

AllThatGlistens · 02/10/2013 22:12

I love filter coffee with a splash of baileys in Grin

Although I have also been known to melt very dark chocolate into heated double cream for the ultimate hot chocolate!

EnolaAlone · 02/10/2013 22:15

I love the tassimo chai latte. My son loves the Milka hot chocolate. Husband likes the Costa Americano but would like a better choice of espresso.

blizy · 02/10/2013 22:29

I must have a coffee in the morning or else I'm a grumpy sod. I tend to drink a lot of coffee some days and tea on others,I also live an occasional hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream.

dahville · 02/10/2013 22:35

I like steamed milk with a dash of vanilla or a nice dark hot chocolate. I haven't considered a Tassimo because I am sure my husband, an avowed latte drinker, would get addicted!

GaryBuseysTeeth · 02/10/2013 22:48

Twinings Everyday Tea, it's simply the drink for me.
Morning, noon or night, on its own or with a quick bite.
Oh how I love it so, please put it in a Tassimo!

^ unhealthy love for tea that is. Would probably trade a child for a decent pot & a scone or two (salted butter, cream and THEN the jam).

DH loves the Tassimo/Costa range (PIL have one & his preferred drink is the caramel latte), but we can't justify the outlay on a machine when there's only a very limited range in the supermarkets. Wish you could buy a multipack instore like you can online.
