Question: hot water only I'm wondering is there a way to get the Tassimo to JUST dispense hot water? (For things like noodle soup, or your own teabag)... the Kuerig does this when no k-kup is in it, but it seems the Tassimo needs a t-disc in to run at all..
Document: Get Real. If the machine needs bottled water Bosch should state that in the manual. If the problem is with the water then the other T-discs we use should be exploding in the machine also but they don't.I think I'm done with the pod/T-disc/K-cup machines. If you read the negative comments for each machine it seems that there is a problem with the pumping mechanism and the customer complaints aren't being taken seriously.
Due to the way T-Discs work, you cannot make your own disc of your favorite coffee. However you can use the T45 to brew just hot water by substituting the cleaning disc for a T-Disc. The cleaning disc just tells the machine to dispense water and does not add any type of harmful chemicals.P.S. The MSRP for the T45 is $139, but you can get it for less than that (I got mine for under $100).
Now we are figuring out which coffees fit our unrefined American tastes. You can use the clean out disc to dispense hot water for teas or other needs. Built well which meets my requirement for a good review.
You sit the Tassimo right on top. It saves space. My Keurig was much bigger, and I had a carousel for my k-cups and between the two, it took up way too much space.My Tassimo is a lot quieter than my Keurig. It still makes noise, but not like the Keurig did. My Keurig would sound like an earthquake or something. It vibrated when sucking up the water for the coffee. It was LOUD. It also took longer to get your coffee.
Also, the green factor is not real high with the plastic discs, it seems difficult to recycle them. I would like to see Tassimo step up and offer a recycle, re-order program, even if this adds to the cost.Conclusion - Tassimo offer a very good tasting, easy, and versatile hot drink system that will meet and exceed the needs of most American coffee/tea drinkers.
We have used the Bosch Tassimo machine for a few weeks. In general we like the convenience and flexibility it provides. We are not heavy coffee drinkers and we enjoy a variety of drinks so this machine fits our needs well. One disappointment that somehow none of the reviews mentioned is that the coffee and especially cappuccino are not hot enough. A cup of Starbucks cappuccino seems to feel cold within a minute after it was brewed.
If you get impatient and open the lid, you will likely be greeted by a whoosh of hot steam and hot, wet coffee grounds. It really increases the amount of time to brew multiple cups. Bosch needs to introduce an option that allows people who know they are not going to add additional water to their coffee to have the brewing cycle terminate and relieve the pressure in the brewing chamber at whatever point the barcode on the T-Disc has instructed the machine to fill/brew to.3.
I've been using the Tassimo for several months now, I've never cleaned it (I'm super lazy) and I've had no problems with it. I use it almost exclusively for milk drinks, I run the milk disc first and the coffee second so the milk can get cleaned out some. The Starbucks discs, which I liked a lot, actually said to use the milk first but the Maxwell house said milk second.
I had to give it a thou row cleaning. If it wasn't for the fact that the Tassimo actually worked there would have been no stars at all. So as far as the Tassimo T45 goes it's a great machine. The only problem is the drinks aren't half as full as I'd like but other than that it's great. I have to brew twice the amount to get my vente. As far as the taste it's really good. I'm ready to give up Starbucks-it's was costing way too much.
But the lattes and hot chocolates are sooooo much better. It's nice to have a decent latte or hot chocolate from your coffee maker and not have to run out to a fancy coffee place. It's all in the fact that Tassimo uses liquid milk and makes it foamy like it should be. Keurig uses powder. Blech. And their chocolate is powdered, whereas Tassimos is liquid. I will recommend running the chocolate under hot water for a bit before using it.
Answer: i have the braun model but i think it will work with the new model also.  i use the cleaning disc that comes with it (it's just a disc with a barcode on it so the unit will run).  just put it in and let one cycle run through (this cleans out any residual coffee).  then just run as many times as you need hot water.
