Most people already have a coffee maker of some type sitting on their counter at home and most likely the office too, but if it's even a few years old it probably is the traditional kind that just makes coffee.
Espresso - Cappuccino Makers
With Starbucks extreme popularity in the last five to ten years more exotic forms of coffee have become the norm with coffee drinkers and that has created the need for a home or office coffee maker to be able to brew espresso, cappuccino and the like.
What people want now is what are called espresso - cappuccino makers that can brew a variety of coffee drinks, not just coffee alone.
The Tassimo Coffee Maker was first introduced in 2004 and has been one of the most popular coffee makers available because of it's genius innovation to the coffee brewing industry.
Tassimo Coffee Maker
The Tassimo machine uses what are called T-Discs which are little one cup serving coffee discs that are each individually created to make a specific beverage.
For example you would select the espresso disc to brew a cup of espresso or you would select a milk disc with real milk combined with an espresso disc to create a cappuccino.
You simply place the T-Disc into the Tassimo Coffee Maker and the machine reads a barcode printed on the T-disc and calculates exactly how much water should be drawn from the huge reservoir, what the brew time should be, what the exact brewing temperature will be, and in under 60 seconds you have a perfectly brewed cup of your favorite beverage!
Perfect Cup - No Mess!
Each time you get a perfectly brewed cup of the beverage you choose and there is no mess to clean up and you are not throwing out half a pot of old burned coffee that sat on the hot plate for hours.
Even if you drink coffee all day long it still makes sense to brew it one cup at a time, this way your coffee is consistently great each and every cup and you can brew it in under a minute.... try that with a traditional coffee pot.
Espresso - cappuccino makers are the perfect appliance to have at home or at the office because it can save you trips to Starbucks that cost or more each time!
