Love my Keurig. Can’t live without it. Customer service is awsome and located in the US. Makes troubleshooting fun and interesting. Had a party during the holidays and put my brewer on the counter: everyone made there own hot drink. What fun!

Also, I have found the availability of re-fillable K-cups so that you may use your own coffee. Not so (yet) for the Tassimo.
Just sayin’

I am a coffee drinker, although my husband say i’m not because I like all thosw foo-foo drinks.

I just bought the Tassimo and love it. The machine is easy to use , you don’t waste alot of coffeeby making a whole pot and having one cup. I enjoy the cappacino’s and Latte’s, although I do use 2 espresso t cups to 1 milk t cup. If you like sthose milk flavored drinks get the Tassimo. If you are looking for a straight cup of coffee then th Keurig will be your choice.

Long live Joe!!!

If you like hot chocolate, try the one Milka has for the Tassimo ~ it’s great!! Only problem for me is that it’s not available in Canada yet. Booo. I love my Tassimo. : )

I defected from Tassimo, although Bosch did a great job on the brewer, for the reasons that I do not really care for the present offerings in T-disc form and the CS. I own a Dolce Gusto Creativa and love the caps and lattes from the DG, even better than the specialty drinks I use to consume from the Tassimo(s). However, like the Tass inventory is proprietal and slow to adding to the shelves. Great specialty drinks but even fewer regular joes and teas than Tassimo. For now, I’m researching and waiting. This is going to be an exciting time for single serve specialty brewers and I’m waiting for the machine that can do it all. Keurig and Lavazza are co-developing a brewer to hit the market in 2013. Lavazza has quality expressos, not simulated like the Tassimo produces, but real & higher bars of pressure to produce the ultimate expresso. This one might be worth saving up your pennies for. Also of consideration is Coffee Beans CBTL Contata or Kaldi. New kid on the block and premium quality drinks. Its a new kid on the block but I am seeing immense media attention, and a company here in the USA. The CBTL is a Caffitaly system, built on an open platform. This means any caffitaly system capsules will be compatible in any Caffitaly brewer no matter who it is manufactured for. So the european Ecaffe capsules and Lofberg capsules will fit in the CBTL. This will expand the inventory of drinks one can order online. Creativecookware carries ecaffe capsules. Right now Coffee Beans capsule inventory is limited, but the choices are still good. More Teas than you will find in the Tassimo or DG inventory, and a higher likelihood of seeing more capsules offered in the future if the machine catches on. I think the competition is just starting to heat up…… In the meantime, I just found out there is now Chai Tea Latte made for the Dolce Gusto. I am so hoping Nescafe might consider adding their Nespresso expressos to the DG inventory.

Thanks for the informed comments. I have had a Tassimo for almost 2 years and have consistently been happy with it. I use it every day and it operates smoothly and without problem. The stiff lid closure issue sounds like the disc wasn’t sitting in its seat properly. I agree with another post about the de-scaling but was fortunate enough to have a local coffee specialty store that carried the necessary product.
I have read many comments about problems with Keurig Machines and not sure if those issues have been resolved. My co-workers opted for a Tassimo at work recently and all seem pleased with the variety and the quality of the beverages.
Tassimo recently added some new products including a flavoured coffees (french vanilla and swiss hazelnut), more tea products, iced coffee and a decaf espresso. I haven’t tried them all yet, but hope to do so.
The “My K-Cup” refillable basket is enviable – absolutely. Tassimo is a Kraft product so there is presumably little likelihood that they would offer this feature which would impact the sales of their own products.
Starbucks coffee was a main draw for me and I am sorry that the relationship between Starbucks and Tassimo has ended. Starbucks will be available in K-Cups so I think that the large variety of products will ultimately make Keurig the winner. If I decide to defect, I know I’ll miss the frothy skinny lattes and the coffee crema.

We have a Tassimo at home and we just picked up a Keurig today. With Starbucks leaving the Tassimo family and moving to Keurig in september 2011, the choice for us to move on was easy. Of course with the addition of the “my K-cups” filter…I dont see why I would stay with Tassimo anyway. I should have bought a Keurig in the first place.
