I was a happy owner of a T65 and recently received a T55 as a replacement due to a minor issue I had with my T65. I am not a coffee "snob" by any stretch but there were a few things I noticed right away.
No cup light
The removal cup stand was a lot tougher to remove
The water tank was smaller and was tougher to remove
No LCD screen

No LCD screen
I really feel that the T55 has been a step down from the T65. It's unfortunate because I like the style of the T55, but the functionality and things I mentioned were disappointing that they were removed.
All in all, I ended up returning my T55 and keeping my T65. I'll take my chances on it having any issues again rather than keeping the T55.
No, I do not recommend this product.

We bought the Keurig coffee maker, and found the taste to be watery. We returned it to try the Tassimo - a great choice! The Tassimo brews different types of coffee/late/mocha/expresso perfectly. Would highly recommend the Tassimo for coffee lovers
Yes, I recommend this product.

I have had this machine for almost three years and I love it. It works well and most of the coffees are great. I wish more stores carried the coffee. I think the only way it could be better if they could come up with a way to use real creme instead of the disc with the expressos. The service department is very good as well. What happen to T65. I wanted to upgrade but have only heard disappointment with the T 55?

coffe shop beverages at a fraction of the cost

Favorite Beverage:Latte
Gender:female
Length of Use:Less than 3 months
I treated myself to a Tassimo because I love mochas, lattes, and cappucinos. What I thought was a splurge has become money well-spent. I am enjoying coffe shop beverages at a fraction of the cost and in the comfort and convenience of my home. We have shop equipment manufactured by Bosch so I have confidence in the brand. My only suggestion would be to make the water reservoir refillable without removing it from the machine.
Yes, I recommend this product.

T65

Love the machine but sometimes hard to load the disc.
It was suppose to have the new ring to secure the disk but it did not have it on this machine.
I think the kenco Colombian is the best value

Why??
PostedMarch 26, 2013

Why do people like the Tassimos so much? It blows my mind. One coffee T-Disc makes half a cup of slightly warm, bitter tasting coffee. And one hot chocolate T-disc makes a half a cup of warm, watery, flavourless hot chocolate. The first one that I bought, I brought back thinking there was something wrong with it after making a hot chocolate that tasted like slightly flavoured chocolate water. But it wasn't broken. That's just the way they are. When I contacted Tassimo about it, they acknowledged that the hot chocolate T-discs are watery and told me to use two T-discs. Or to make a full cup of coffee, use two discs. Really? I'd rather pay the same price for a large hot chocolate/ coffee at Tim Hortons.
No, I do not recommend this product.

There is a chance you have a unit with a problem.
Posted May 11, 2013
You ought to contact Tassimo Support about your problem. I had one that never ran enough through the pod so every cup was only partial. With the milk pods there was always half the milk left in them. They knew of the problem, replaced my unit with a new one that has never had a problem and always makes a complete cup of good tasting drink.

I just received this as a replacement for the faulty t65. I'm considering keeping the broken one. The t55 doesn't have a water tank with a handle/cover which is very convenient if you have to reach over to the back of the brewer, no lcd with clear info, no lighstand, no descaling. I'd recommend waiting until bosch thinks of something better than this
No, I do not recommend this product.

I had a T65 which died after 3 years. When I went to replace it, I saw it wasn't available anymore (or so I thought) and I bought the T55. I am very disappointed with it compared to the T65.
No LED lighting
The display is no longer a readable LCD, it's a multi function symbol display
The water tank is a joke, to remove, fill and replace
Seem cheaply made feel

I don't know why Tassimo moved their T65 model to it's "professional" series. My advise, buy the T65 (probably have to order somewhere) over the T55.
Lastly ... Tassimo, you sell several nice coffee mugs (the clear double walled glass and the white ceramic with rubber holder) BUT, they are too tall to fit with the cup stand in it's lowest position and too low (splatter mess) if you take it out like you were using a tall travel container.
My solution, epoxy 2 hockey pucks together and remove the holder and use the pucks .... perfect height.

My disappointment with the T55 is pushing me towards the Keurig Vue when the T55 dies.

I shopped for a one-cup coffee maker for quite some time and saw Tassimo's ad in Bed, Bath and Beyond's flyer. It was very affordable for me so I purchased it. I must say I really love it. I usually only have coffee in the morning, but with the Tassimo, I can have a relaxing cup of coffee or tea in the afternoon without having to "brew" more than I need. My favorite flavors are the medium roast morning coffees and the chai tea. I only wish that local grocery stores offered a larger selection like they do with the other "preferred" brand.
Yes, I recommend this product.

After going thru three of its competitors that were constantly breaking down, I was hesitant to try another. I am really, reallly glad I tried this one. I love the start of every morning started with my Tassimo. One great cup of coffee! I have used my Tassimo every day for two years and it has never faltered. GOOD JOB!

Design flaw, and poor tasting coffee

Length of Use:Less than 3 months
None of our standard, regular sized coffee mugs fit, unless we remove the "cup stand", and then coffee seams to spit and spew all over the place since the mug is then too far below the coffee spout! We have also tried about 6 different flavors of coffee, and they are all pretty bad tasting. The flavors that include the "milk pods" are decent, but something doesn't taste quite right, like the milk has a funny taste. The plain coffee beverages we have tried are either REALLY bitter, or REALLY weak. Even the bold french roast coffee is somewhat weak and watery. I'm really disappointed since I had high hopes that the Tassimo would be better than their top competitor that I've been using for years...But, sadly, I'm returning it to the store, and might even go back to using a standard, old, boring coffee pot!
No, I do not recommend this product.

My husband purchased the T55 for me for Christmas. It was clearly the only option, since I prefer lattes, mochas and cappachinos. It's fast and makes an awesome coffee shop style coffee for way less. I'm enjoying trying all of the flavors and after registering here online, I received 2 free disc packs.

I recently took back my Kureg that I have had for almost a year to Bed, Bath & Beyond where I purchased it. I had been having allot of problems with it and they said I could exchange it for a new one. There was no way I was getting another one.They recommended that I try the Tassimo. I bought the T45 and absolutely love it. I love that I can make coffee, latte's, hot chocolate and espresso. I love making the Caramel Macchiato with an extra regular espresso added to it.I am not sure why consumer Reports does not rate this well but I love it!

I purchased the T55 as a Christmas gift for myself this year. I have been using the Cuisnart K-cup brewer which was good but the T55 surpasses it. The coffee brewed with the T55 is equal to the better local specialty coffee shops. I have used it daily and am completely satisfied.

So Long Starbucks, HELLO Tassimo
Posted March 10, 2013
Received T55 from my wife for Christmas, best gift she has ever given me. Other than my smartphone and car, it's the only item that gets used EVERY day, guarenteed. To be able to have a dbl or tpl shot Cap in the am without leaving the house is AWESOME! Some don't like the taste of the UHT milk, but it is a minor thing and it is the standard in Europe. The Mocha is also good and a dbl shot is perfect. I've only tried 2 of the Gevalia Dark roasts in the regular coffee and they are ok although small in volume IMHO. The Crema's are great...just like Europe. And my pocket isn't nearly as light now that stops at the local Sh-tbucks have ceased. I reccomend this brewer to everyone I know

While I love my Tassimo, I am not happy with the fact that I can only find reg coffee at Walmart. I have to travel to Bed Bath & Beyond to buy decaff. I tried to order coffee on line and it took two weeks to get it. We have decided to purchase a Kurieg since their coffee is available everywhere...even Walgreens.

I stumbled on Tassimo after I was looking for another K-cup machine (I wanted to take my old one to work, and have a new one for the house). The lady that was demoing (if that's a word..lol) the Keurig Vue actually told me about Tassimo. She did me the BIGGEST favor ever. I bought the T55, and love it!! I love it so much that I bought another one for work. I still have my Cuisinart K-cup machine, but I'm not sure I ever really want to use it again. I had over 40 people over yesterday over for Christmas, and literally brewed that many drinks, if not more, as some people had 2nds and 3rds. Not one person didn't finish his/her drink, and 3 of the Keurig people have decided to buy one of the Tassimos now. I do have to say that we all prefer the beverages at the more concentrated level, so the T55 is perfect for that, since I can select that ahead of time. The normal strength brew is just too watery for us, however for normal coffee it's fine. You can't go wrong with this machine...it takes me back to my days in Europe!
Yes, I recommend this product.

The T55 is the best thing going brews anything you can think with coffee shop results, when brewers one hundred dollars more still dont make caps or mochas. The only thing i dont get is why bosch no longer seems to advertise the product when it is clearly a better product then all of the competitors out there.

Tassimo was my first and my only!
Posted February 8, 2013
Purchased my Tassimo about two year's ago after researching all of the competitors. Still works to perfection, so I'm very happy with Tassimo.
You might have to measure the space for mugs and find one that fits, I did.
Love the Gevalia Kona 15% since I like a stronger coffee. For those who do, try this one.
Just told my hubby so glad we had it. I would buy another in a heartbeat.

Love Tassimo
Posted December 28, 2012
This is my 3rd brewer. As I have seen in many posts its a shame that Tassimo / Kraft dont spend the marketing dollars to generate more demand and awareness. Stores that carry the Tassimo keep it tucked away in a corner because its Tassimo will not spend the marketing dollars to get the better shelf space. This is a shame. Every guest that comes to my home and has a cup of coffee walks out thinking why they bought the k***** brand. Funny enough, over 10 of my friends have converted many the very next day.
Two things i would like for this machine. An LED light and larger water container!
