As most of you may know, I’m a coffee addict and proud of it. 😀 Over the holidays I received a Tassimo T20 Brewpot by Bosch, and I have to say, it rocks!
I got the Brewpot in December and I have to be honest, I haven’t used my other coffee maker since. My wife has fallen in love with it also, being you can make hot chocolate, cappuccino and tea with it. She loves her tea, and the kids enjoy their hot chocolate.
The Brew
I drink my coffee black so flavor is paramount. I have been drinking the Starbucks disks and the coffee comes out with a nice bold flavor, in less than a couple minutes. Same for the other drinks you can make with it, takes minutes, and no mess. It’s a serious time saver.
The cappuccino disks disappeared quickly, let me tell you. We lived in Italy for four years and it was nice to have authentic cappuccino in the morning with a nice pastry. This by far is the closest thing I’ve had to the real thing, and again, no work to make it and clean it up.
The Machine
The Brewpot itself is great. It is nice and compact so it takes up less counter space than our traditional coffee maker. We have it in the corner where it stays in reach but doesn’t get in the way by absorbing half the counter space.
It’s made of a solid hard plastic and seems to be very sturdy so far. It has some nice weight to it but nothing too heavy which makes it feel stronger, yet still allows for easy movement and use.
It’s quick and the sound as you’re brewing your choice of beverage is not bad. I’ve heard some pots that whistle while they work, you’re at an advantage here with average sound and quick brew times.
They have a few different colors and models which is cool. Only problem I have is I didn’t get the chrome version which would have better matched my kitchen.
The Verdict
This is pretty easy. If you like your warm drinks in the morning without the hassle, the Tassimo Brewpot fits the bill. On a regular basis, I can’t see going back to a regular coffee pot. This has simplified one of my necessary morning rituals and I’m not sure I’d be willing to give back the time I save.
Tassimo is offering $25 off your purchase as a launch promotion, so go get one 😀
What do you think? Have you tried one? Do you have a personal favorite brewing machine, make sure to leave your comments.
Cheers!
I got one of these for Naomi for Christmas. So far, this thing is awesome. I can totally see her changing the color on it to make it more stylish looking too. Makes good coffee and the fact that you can get Starbucks is a huge bonus. I’m wasn’t a big coffee drinker before, but now I find myself having 1-2 cups a day.
