Tassimo Beverage Maker Giveaway

This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Tassimo.

BlogHer Reviewer
Imagine the fun and excitement of having your own hot beverage maker right in the comfort of your own home?

I recently became the proud owner of just such a machine, the Bosch Tassimo beverage maker, thanks to Blogher and Tassimo. I ripped into the box, set it all up in about 30 minutes and tried it out pronto. I made myself a cappuccino and my hubby a regular coffee and we have also tried the hot chocolate.IMG_7893

The machine was easy to set up and after reading the directions, it was ready to go.IMG_7894

One of the pluses with this machine is that it has a built-in filter system to filter your water every time you make a cup.  All you do is fill this reservoir with water and your Tassimo machine is ready to serve a hot beverage. IMG_7895

They were also generous and sent a large variety of the T-discs that go in this machine, so there are various flavors to choose from.IMG_7896

One of the neatest things about these beverage machines are the T-discs that come with them. There are several flavors to choose from, anywhere from chai tea, cappuccino, espresso, hot chocolate, as well as regular coffee.IMG_7897

The T-discs also have the milk that goes with these specialty drinks, so you can pop the main one in, then take that out and pop in the milk disc, so your drink is made to order. Fresh and delicious!

I always thought having one of these machines around the house would be loads of fun and I was right. It is! We are having a party on Friday night and I can’t wait to introduce this fun gadget to our guests, when they will be able to order up a special drink with dessert. What a fun way to celebrate the Holidays with family and friends. Easy, delicious, hot beverages at your fingertips.

A unique home brewing system, TASSIMO quickly makes a wide variety of hot beverages from signature brands with the push of a button.

Doesn’t get any easier than that!

And now for the really great news!  One of YOU will win a Tassimo beverage maker too.

A Tassimo brewing system would precisely complement the versatility, clean lines, and elegant execution that my early morning lingua franca craves.

12 Debbie December 26, 2009 at 10:47 am

Chai latte for me, please!

41 vicki terpstra December 28, 2009 at 9:34 pm

My favorite hot drink is freshly ground dark aribica beans because I love the fresh taste of having the beans ground fresh. I love the idea of the prepared cups like this because the coffee or drinks are going to remain fresh since they are sealed individually. I’d LOVE to have a Tassimo after all I’ve read about them.

42 Vanessa December 29, 2009 at 12:21 am

My favorite hot beverage is coffee! I love it! Preferably Mochas.

44 Cathy December 29, 2009 at 9:09 am

45 Beth Brown December 29, 2009 at 12:36 pm

Yummy hot chocolate would have to be my #1! I have heard so many great things about the Tassimo and to be able to skip Starbucks and make a drink at home would be great =)

61 Graham Cowdrey December 30, 2009 at 10:51 am

We bought one of these at Christmas from John Lewis, and disapointed as the coffee is not as hot as we hade in John Lewis. If you make more than 2 by the timwe youd drink the 1st it is just luke warm. We were going to buy one for my son, but not now.

Kind regards
Graham

84 Talex December 31, 2009 at 7:08 pm

Everybody likes something different at my house. I like various kinds of tea, my husband is a coffee drinker, and my daughter loves her hot chocolate. The Tassimo Beverage Maker sounds like something we could really go for. Would love to try it out!

85 Lanaye Burnette December 31, 2009 at 7:20 pm

This would be perfect for my husband. He loves for me to drink coffee with him in the mornings before the kids get up.

86 Tracy December 31, 2009 at 8:47 pm

Flavored coffees are my favorite, but I am also crazy about a nice cup of hot tea…usually something like “Comfort and Joy” or an apple spice. A nice way to end a winter evening while enjoying a good book! Thanks for the opportunity to win! Happy New Year!
