Tassimo Hot Beverage System Review and Give-Away!

This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Tassimo.

This contest is now over. It was supposed to end at 5pm, but I totally blanked and am ending it at 6pm 12/31/09. Happy New Year! The winner has been notified. Thank you to all 1188 who entered!

How would you like to have an absolutely PERFECT cup of coffee or mixed espresso drink without having to grind beans, do any measuring, or steam any milk? The Tassimo will make you your perfect coffee-house quality drink when ever you’d like and you don’t need to ever leave the house. Or your office. Or your pajamas.

And it is SO EASY. I’m not much on fancy kitchen gadgets. I like my slow cookers (duh), and we do own a great blender and food processor (given as gifts, thankfully, because I’m also terribly cheap), but for the most part I’m a pretty simple person, and I get overwhelmed easily if things require me to read instruction manuals or if too much work is involved in set-up or clean-up.

But this is easy. The Tassimo just needs a little plastic disk-thingy that comes already full of everything you need to make that perfect cup of coffee or espresso drink.

There are a variety of flavors available, including a Chai Tea latte and a hot chocolate. We were lucky to be given a Starbucks coffee to test, hot chocolate, and a latte. I haven’t opened the Chai Tea latte because neither Adam or I like tea. My mother-in-law loves the stuff, though, so I’m happy to have some on hand for when she’s over.

The kids really enjoyed the hot chocolate, and Adam and I both have had a few cups of the Starbucks Verona coffee, and my mom was over to try some, too---it’s delicious! It was really neat to test out the latte, and I liked how simple it was to make such an involved drink. No measuring or steaming or stirring needed!

Our coffee system also came with a water filtration kit, so I know that every cup that’s made is with freshly-purified water.

This is a fast machine. It gets right up to temp quick, and your cup of coffee is ready way before your toast pops out of the toaster.
