The Keurig vs. The Tassimo

HERE'S WHAT I THINK

The Keurig vs. The Tassimo

The Keuring wins hands down!

I love our Keurig. My husband and I went out and bought then returned 5 coffee makers (I am not kidding) before we brought our beautiful Keurig home. Yes I am a little over-the-top about this miracle machine. Why you ask? Well my husband only drinks about 5 cups of coffee a week and I was so sick and tired of making a pot of coffee that went to waste. The Keurig is perfect for people like us. We want 1 cup not a pot. We don't want some frilly Cappuchino/Latte crud, we just want coffee, tea and occasionally hot chocolate.

The Keurig is great because it can be left on all day. The water is ready when you want your beverage and the cute little K-Cups are really economical. You can get tons of brands and clean up is non-exisitant. Here are my Keurig favorites. Did I mention that I love this thing!

YOUR TURN!

The Keurig vs. The Tassimo

Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

Yes, you're right! The Keurig is the greatest!

I have both machines (thanks to ebay) and prefer the Keurig simply because it accomodates large travel mugs/cups better. With the Tassimo, I have to remove the whole drip tray and have to clean up the counter top after brewing a cup this size.

Yes, my vote goes on the Keurig side. I never had a Tassimo, altho it looks beautiful. We got our Keurig last October, price being a factor, and never looked back. Their array of coffees, teas and hot chocolate (gotta try their new white chocolate cocoa!) is terrific. I use it at least twice a day!

My vote goes definitely to Keurig. The main problem with Tassimo is that you have very limited choice of coffees that you can make. With the Keurig you have nearly 200 different K-cups to choose from (plus you can also use your own coffee as well if you want).

Tassimo is overrated.

The Keurig rules! It is the best coffee pot around always ready to give you a fresh cup of tea or coffee. I have tried the Tassimo and hated it. I took it back after a week because it did not work right. I love the Keurig!

No way, Monkeybrain! The Tassimo Rules!

I have tried them both, and if you want a large cup of coffee the Keurig just makes it weaker. The Tassimo bar code technology makes sure your coffee is always perfect, and it makes a large cup without any adjustments. Yes, there are fewer coffee varities, but with Starbucks as an option, do you need all those other lesser coffee brands?

I vote for the Tassimo!

I find the Keurig coffee to be only slightly better than instant. I have had coffee brewed by an office version of the Keurig and by my Dad's home unit. I only drank the coffee because I had no other choice. I found the tea products in K-cups to be un-finishable. I found the Flavia, btw, to be equally bad.

I bought a Tassimo for my company after an employee raved about her Tassimo. I was so blown away by the taste and variety that I convinced my wife to get me one for Father's Day. Father's Day is next week but I already opened it!

The Tassimo is slower and louder, but to me, the end-product is so vastly superior I cannot believe that there is even a discussion about it. I have had T-discs of Seattle's Best, Starbuck's, and Gevalia coffees; Gevalia cappucino, and Twining's chai. They have all been really, really good. There is really no comparison to the "Kool-Aid coffee" that K-cups produce. My office is convinced, too. The 2-a-day trips to Starbuck's have stopped. Tassimo has improved my company's productivity. Viva Tassimo!

One negative: the first machine I purchased did not work properly. I exchanged it (at Bed Bath & Beyond) for another a few hours later without issue. Bed Bath & Beyond, btw, has a great selection of Tassimo flavors.

I am now in Tassimo heaven...
