Valentines Day - Bosch Tassimo T20 Home Brewing System Review + Giveaway

I have to have my cup of coffee every morning, but I only drink one. My husband is more of an avid coffee drinker and has to have several cups each day. He's even taken two of our coffee makers to work so he can have "good coffee". He took our old Tassimo machine to work and was thrilled when they sent the Bosch Tassimo T20 Home Brewing System so he could have a Tassimo Coffee Machine at home.

They sent us the machine, coffee, cappuccino, and a color brewer kit.

 

The color kits are a really awesome idea.  You can use them to customize your T20 Brewer so that it matches your decor.  They sent me brown and my kitchen is red/black, so I won't be using this one, but I may have to get the red.

The Tassimo T20 Brewing Machine couldn't be easier to use.  Simply fill the water tank up and use the yellow T Disc 5 times to run water through the machine to clean it before the first use.  I also use it to clean the machine after a few times of making coffee.

The Tassimo Machines works off of bar codes.  Each beverage has a bar code on it to tell the machine how much water to brew in order to make the perfect cup. 

You simply put the T Disc in the machine and turn it on.

When making a cappuccino, you put the milk T DISC in first.   When that is done, you put the coffee one in.  This is how much one cappuccino makes.

I have pretty large coffee cups, so I usually take the stand out.  This is how much coffee is brewed with the Gevalia signature coffee T Disc.  I love that the Tassimo machines allows you to add more even after it has brewed.  When it finishes brewing the amount that it is supposed to, the "+ coffee" button lights up so that you can add more.  If you don't like your coffee as strong, this is the perfect option.

The Tassimo Machines and their T DISCs are my husbands favorite.  I personally like being able to drink some of my favorite blends without purchasing the T DISCs and wish they had a disc that you could fill with your own coffee.  The machine is a little loud when you first turn it on - it has like a knocking noise and then something that I can only describe as a jackhammer(MUCH quieter, but that is what it reminds me of).  After that, the machine is very quiet for every other cup you make. 

This machine is used daily at our house and other than the initial sounds it makes when starting up, we've had no other issues.  I need to try out different T DISCs so that I can find a favorite, but my husband has loved each one that he's tried.  I don't like my coffee as bold as he does.
