I really appreciate this exchange on both the Keurig and the Tassimo. We have the Keurig B70 at work and I enjoy it thoroughly. I love the caribou coffee. I am looking to get a single brew maker for my home and wanted to make sure I was getting the latest and greatest in this line of makers. I do believe the Keurig is overall the better choice with far more variety.

I am trying to figure out what would be best for my Parents. My Dad is a strong black coffee drinker, my Mom, DECAF only. It seems that Keurig has more decaf options. My Mom loves lattes however I haven’t been able to find a tassimo t-disc Decaf latte….Keurig for sure has way more decaf coffees and teas…your thoughts?

I’ve worked long stretches in two offices–one with a Keurig and one with a Tassimo. For flavor, there is no contest. Even though we went through every brand and variety of bold coffees for the Keurig, they were all unsatisfactorily weak. The flavor of the Tassimo coffee is rich–so superior.

Which one is more quiet. I leave the house early and dont want to wake my wife and kids making single cup coffey, but a regular pot is too much. I had a one cup coffey maker a few years ago, but chucked it because it woke everyone up. is there a quiet single cup coffey maker out there?

Have any of you tried the BUNN My Cafe? They claim that they can take any size pod, therefore you can buy Kuerig or Tassimo pods…

I purchased the Tassimo, as opposed to the Keurig, on the advice of a saleslady. Big mistake! My daughter has the Keurig. The processes are not terribly different. However, most of the coffee choices for the Keurig are fine (there certainly is a wider selection). The coffees in the T-discs are horrible. I will probably go back to just brewing my coffee. Why should I put up with awful coffee at a much higher price, and for very little improvement in convenience?

By far the best coffee for the Tassimo is Seattle’s Best. The Morning Blend is bold and terrific, and more than one upscale restaurant has told me they use Seattle’s Best Henry’s Blend. Now, you can get 5 different Starbuck’s coffees as Tassimo. The variety has increased and the other hot drink possibilities make Tassimo our favorite. We had a Keurig at work, but it is not as versatile.

I purhcased a Keurig B40 just about three days ago! I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I honestly have NEVER tasted better coffee (exra Bold Kcup) and the Chai Tea Latte? To die for! After reading these reviews, I’m glad I made the right choice. My friend had a Tassimo and after a few months she kept having trouble with the Maker reading the bar codes. Apparently dust can easily get inside and block the lasors etc.
Ok, a few comments for two people. One is for the son who left it on a shelf for months after college. Most likely, nothing grew in the tanks. For any algea to grow (like a pool), you need sunlight (photosynthesis) to hit the water. Can’t happen inside the coffee maker. Vineger has a high acidity content and if there was anything growing…not any more. Did you notice any water discoloration upon discharge?
And for you who has to de-scale every 10 cups. Man, your water is HARD. If you don’t want damage to your machine, I suggest you do as your machine tells ya’! Otherwise use bottled water to fill it (more expensive).
I can honestly say I am HAPPY as heck with Keurig. And just think of all of the varieties for Keurig have come out since the first post.
Get a Clue! Get a Keurig! (if they want to use that for slogen, e-mail me Trinkausgj@vfemail.net–I’ve got lots of ideas for advertisments of all kinds and all products. They just seem to slip outta my brain.
Good night folks, happy Coffee and Tea times! :-D

Thank you for the tip on the tassimo vs. keurig coffee makers. I wanted to purchase either one, but I wanted to make sure I purchased the one that would meet most of my families wants and needs. I believe reading this website has helped me to come to my decision and I wanted to thank you, so, thanks again.
