The Tassimo home brewing system allows coffee enthusiasts to create a variety of hot drinks, including filtered coffee, lattes, cappuccinos, hot chocolate and tea. These brewing machines produce single cup coffee beverages in a matter of minutes using the technology of Tassimo T discs.

The brew machine is a compact, sturdy machine that sits on a cabinet top or other small space. A storage tank holds water for the brew process. To make a cup of coffee, the user simply inserts a disc into the machine and presses a button. Water is heated and filtered through the coffee mixture into a cup.

Discs come in small sealed packages with precise amounts of ingredients. Depending on the type of drink, individual packs contain coffee, milk products, and flavors. Besides flavors, options are available for decaf, skinny, crema coffee and many others.

Once the disc is inserted, the machine scans a bar code to evaluate the appropriate type of beverage. Based on the bar code, the brewer adjusts time, temperature and amount of water. Many types of discs can be used. A full list of brands is available on the internet. These can be found in local stores or ordered online for optimal variety.

A basic example of the bar code technology might be the brew process for a caramel latte macchiato compared with a simple espresso. The latte requires more water and longer brew time. Espresso takes a smaller amount of water. These drinks are automatically prepared without user intervention, although Tassimo also provides the option for manual intervention if users prefer to adjust for weaker or stronger consistency.

Tassimo T discs provide technology for creating a variety of drinks at home. The process is quick and easy with very little intervention needed. This latest generation of single serving machines add diversity and convenience to personal brewing.

Each type of drink is created in a single cup so there is no further clean-up and no excess waste water. The latte requires more water and longer brew time. Based on the bar code, the brewer adjusts time, temperature and amount of water. tassimo mocha
