Tassimo

After spending a weekend at a friend's house, who had a Tassimo, my fiance and I decided we had to have one of our own. We immediately put it on our wedding registry and couldn't wait.

Two months later, we received the Tassimo as a wedding gift (purchased at Bed, Bath, & Beyond), and put it to use right away.

We loved it for about three or four months, as we like different kinds of coffee, and this was the first machine of its kind we had seen that used single-serve discs so we could each have what we wanted without having to compromise.

However, we soon realized that the discs for the Tassimo are quite expensive in relation to other methods of brewing coffee, and the selection has not been nearly what we had expected.

We have since reverted back to using our old coffee maker (a basic Mr. Coffee) to save money, and in retrospect would have waited to see what other single-serve options made an appearance on the market before settling on the Tassimo (i.e. one that has more varieties of coffee readily available).

In terms of reliability, the Tassimo has worked very nicely, and is quite easy to use, so if you like the varieties of coffee that they offer, I would say go for it.

But if you're a fan of Green Mountain coffee, as we are, go for something like the Keurig and you'll have many more options.
