I think a good reason why there is so much hate towards capsule machines or comparison with "real" coffee and espresso machines, is: this product was never designed for you guys. If you have the time to prepare a classic coffee, grind up some beans, froth milk, wait until the water fully extracted the aroma and so on, thats great! But Tassimo, Nespresso, you name it, was designed to pay a little extra to spare exactly this. To get a cup of coffee in a press of a button.

My wife gifted me a tassimo years ago, It was a great little machine, I used it daily with the refillable pods and it worked well for me. Last week the machine exploded all over the kitchen. Yesterday I ordered a Delonghi ECP3620 and thanks to your videos I was able to decide which espresso machine to choose. I never expected myself to get so interested in espresso making, I cannot wait for it to arrive.

Thanks! I was curious about Tassimo, having only experienced Keurig and Nespresso (classic and vertuo) capsule machines. In general I agree with you: I can make a much tastier (and cheaper) drink with my DF64V and Breville Touch Impress.

I just won one of these in work today , im not a coffee drinker but i do like hot chocolate , i had no idea about refillable pods , i was put off with the machine when i looked at the pod having to be tassimo pods only so this video was very helpful as i wouldnt have looked a reuseable pods so thank you

You know, capsules are funny. I bought some third-party Nespresso Professional capsules to use at work, but then soon discovered they aren't compatible with our fancy new Momento machine...probably because it also has a scanner inside. So what I ended up doing was just buy a used Zenius machine for home, so I don't waste the capsules, and I can still recycle them for free at work. Was it worth it? Well, $50 for a like-new machine that goes for several hundred new is pretty good, but in my case, anything that helps me get out the door on time is a good purchase ;)

So I’ve used a tassimo for years and i get the Costa espresso capsules in bulk from Amazon every month. I have a milk frother and make my own latte. I can’t use the milk capsules as they taste awful. So americano and real frothed milk and i get a perfect latte, every, single, morning…

Funny I’m starting to look into Nespresso and these kind of machines. After three weeks of trying to make the real espresso thing work with the Dedica and all the accessories I gave up and sent everything back today to Amazon. Just could not get the recipe right. Too much work just to have a cup of coffee in the morning😂 We still have our DeLonghi Magnifica 3300 so we’re gonna stick with that for a while.
@TomsCoffeeCorner9 ай бұрын
Often times when people get frustrated with the Dedica, or any espresso machine, it's because of the beans used, or maybe the grinder. The machine itself is quite capable. Nespresso does good for just having a 5g dose, but that's not enough for me. Maybe the new Vertuo...

@@TomsCoffeeCorner We’ve been using the DeLonghi Magnifica, 3300 for 8 years. It was starting to show some signs of dying, which is why I went on the espresso machine, hunt, and journey.

1 It's better than instant 2 It's quicker than manually doing everything 3 It's cheaper than a shop bought coffee. Do I have the skills to setup, grind my own coffee beans, pour over, and then clean it all up. Why certainly. Do I have the inclination to do all that at 6am with an hour before I have to leave the house. Absolutely not. Whilst I'm having a shower, I can be brewing a coffee, that is better than instant, just as convenient, and far cheaper than a store bought coffee. Once I'm changed, I have a drink that is ready, and very little cleaning up to do. Is it the best brew I could make. Most likely not. Do I want to get up at 5.30am to faff around making a drink that's 15-20% better than great? Absolutely not. And if I'm serious about climate change, then I should stop drinking coffee full stop. But I'm not that pious to complain about the little folk using disposable capsules drinking a drink that causes significant ecological damage to the countries natural habitat where it is grown, and then flown all over the world. Of course, you probably buy store bought clothes, instead of hand crafting your own. So, stop doing that, and buy yourself a sewing machine. Go on, off you go. Don't let your sanctimonious ways get in the way of you doing the right thing

Thanks Tom for showing PRECISELY how this works. I returned a Tassimo Vivy due the 4 page book with no written explanations - only a guessing game from a page of cartoons with ✅ or ❌ beside mystery actions. Nothing to say find the yellow disc hidden right underneath or its purpose : its a bar code reader + cleaner ! Thanks. No instruction to fit a black ring loose in the box, under the lid to hold the pods, or which way up without damage. No idea how to set it up, how the water heating buttons work without READING the 3 essential steps or a visual demo like yours. I'm not stupid, l can fix my car + use power tools. The Vivy has a teeny water tank, no handle, difficult to lift out. Thanks to you l see the bigger Suny tank has a safe lift out handle. Off to buy a Tassimo Suny to make my laté from Espresso pods with a milk frother. (A 👍added for your demo and your viewers' helful tips) 🥃

Yes well, it's about what you'd expect from a company that also makes hand drills, washing machines, and industrial hydraulics. Probably OK for an Airbnb 'cos it's so cheap it doesn't much matter if someone breaks it or walks away with it (I wouldn't). Don't like capsule machines in general. That cafè crema looks about the right size for dunking a length of buttered baguette into, though: could imagine it being used as fast hangover therapy. Just read that "cafè crema" was the original term for an espresso. How have the mighty fallen!

@gs23653 ай бұрын
@TomsCoffeeCorner it produces a very good quality coffee, you just need to press the stop button when you don't want it too diluted. So easy to adjust. Also the pods are not expensive, I get my favourate XL Americans for £4.20 it has 16 pods inside, that is around 27p a pod. It is a bargain. Also on Tassimo site there are loads of choices and offers or even in the supermarket. What you tasted as sweet in this video is brand related. Other brands are not that sweet. Just my take and of course you can agree or disagree. Thanks for your video. You still had a lot of good information in there. Regarding re-usable pods, they are nice idea but very fidely and messy, and some people reported damaging your machine. I avoid them at any costs. The only one aspect I don't like is the coffee temperature could be just a bit hotter and it is not with this one. My older machine was a lot better but sadly it started to play and had to be replaced. Still managed good 7 years out of it.
