When brewing this blend smells like the most amazing thing on the planet. However, when I took my first sip I was very disappointed. Coffee is bitter and almost tastes burnt! Milk and sugar barely makes it more bearable.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I have been using Maxwell House for Tassimo for several years. I like it, but lately the cups while brewing spew out grounds into the cup. Yuck.

Brew cups spewing out grounds into my coffee while brewing. Have to throw it out.
Also, used to love the French Vanilla, but cannot find it in the local grocery stores anymore. Why are these things happening????

Maxwell House French Vanilla, is my morning must with a little cream. It isn't real strong and that is what i like about it. Also no bitterness. I wish it was a little easier to find in the local stores, i just have to remember to stock up, so i don't run out.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought this version thinking that it was cheaper than other brands but would still be just as tasty, but I was wrong. I had to add lots of cream and sugar to get the flavor correct. I will not be buying Maxwell House again.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I have tried many different Tassimo discs, and this is my least favorite. It smells delicious when brewing, but the taste is horrible. I can't quite pinpoint why though. I've tried different combinations of milk, sugar, and creamer, and just can't get it to taste right.
No, I do not recommend this product.

This is a really good French Vanilla. It gives you the inviting aroma you would expect from the vanilla without the fake overpowering flavor that some vanillas can give you. The flavoring plays well with the roast of the coffee rather than trying to take it over.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The Maxwell House French Vanilla coffee is currently my favorite coffee for my Tassimo. It smells wonderful and tastes great. This is much better than the french vanilla I'd get in a bag at the grocery store. I do wish it was just a touch stronger, but overall I'm very happy and will stock up next time I order.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The aroma and flavor are horribly artificial.
I have never been a fan of maxwell house, and this tdisk reminds why.
The taste is just awful.
No, I do not recommend this product.

NOT good!!!
Posted January 9, 2012
I have now tried several of the different T discs coffees and most of them are good. The french vanilla is bad though. I have not found anyone in my house holds who likes it. It smells and tastes very artificial. I think I will end up throwing them out.

I have tried almost all the coffee options for the tassimo, and I always come back to this one. I think it's the Aroma that brings me back. Top with a bit of whip cream, and relax.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This is my husband's favorite. The coffee has a rich taste to it, then accented with the vanilla. Not too sweet, you still feel like you are drinking a cup of coffee! The aroma is absolutely wonderful.
Yes, I recommend this product.
