Tassimo T20 Review AND Giveaway!



What calms me down? What is my personal weakness? Sweet and creamy coffee. *sigh* With two kids, being on the run all the time and only making coffee for myself, I don't want to mess with a pot of coffee and measuring out the water and grinds. Luckily, the Bosch Tassimo has mastered not only choosing some amazing companies to team up with to provide the best coffee experience, but now making coffee is such a breeze. I simply chose the flavor I want (with over 40 different verities of cappuccino, hot chocolate, tea and coffee) and place the disc in the Tassimo machine, place the cup of choice under the spout and press start. 60 seconds to the perfect cup, every time. It is so close to a "coffee shop experience" without the high dollar drinks, stuffy lines and wasting gas. I love the caramel macchiato and making it in my Tassimo is just lovely. This machine is very sleek looking and what makes it a lot of fun is that you can buy different color inserts to be customized to your decor. I loved the blue/green color so, that is the one I am using now. 

I love all these goodies!
 Here is what it looks like when it came.
 This is how pretty it is now that I simply replaced the insert. It took about .5 seconds to replace. Very easy. 
 The Bosch Tassimo, allows you to use 3 different cup sizes by simply adjusting the drink tray. 
 see?
 To start, I wanted to share this picture with you because it shows where the T-Discs go, but also because this yellow disc is the cleaner disc that you "wash" the machine with. The patented T DISC technology makes it so the brewing takes place in the T DISC so there is no flavor transfer between cups.
Here is a T-Disc. You place the T-Disc in the machine and snap the lid down. It does take a little force to close but its not difficult, just don't be afraid to shut the lid. 
 Here is the T-Disc in the Bosch Tassimo. :) This awesome machine reads the bar code on each disc to know what it is making, whether its creamer, or large or medium coffee, espresso and so on. You can even stop the water sooner or add more water to your cup to brew to your strength preference. 
Make sure you fill the removable water tank, I love this feature. It cuts down on my "making coffee time"
 This is my "cleaner cup". I think it is adorable. Its too large for me to drink out of but it looks great sitting on my Tassimo. 

I love this machine, this is no joke or exaggeration. I tell people about my Bosch Tassimo and love sharing  coffee with my guests. I had my dad try it out to see how he liked it and while there is a learning curve, it enjoys making coffee with it. Just read the directions very well, as you can not open the lid when the light is green, and you have to have the machine turned on and have to wait to place the T-Disc or cleaner disc in the machine until the green light turns on. With the hot days being more regular, I love making my iced coffees.

I am more than excited to let you know that MY readers have been given a chance to WIN a Bosch Tassimo T20 of their very own. RV $129.99
