QUESTION:
Any good coffees for Tassimo coffee maker?
I just got a cool Tassimo coffee maker for Christmas! I know they have lots of different types of coffee for it, but I was wondering if anyone could suggest some? They are kind of expensive and I don't want to do a trial and error thing and end up with 12 different kinds I dislike. I'm normally a Maxwell house med blend kind of girl. I love starbucks drinks (white mocha, Carmel macchiato, hazelnut latte) but their regular coffee is too strong for me. Thanks for your help!-
ANSWER:
Hi I got one myself too! The Tassimo T-20. The T-Discs I've used so far are the Maxwell House Coffee, Chai Latte, Hot Chocolate, and Cafe Crema. All are great but my favourite would have to be the Chai Latte- although I do add sugar to it but thats only because I like mine sweet. It tastes good without sugar too, depends on your taste preferences. The Hot Chocolate is great but make sure to shake the T-Discs a few times before putting into your Tassimo. I don''t like Starbucks regular coffee either because it's too strong for me but the Maxwell House one is good so I'd recommend that. Hope that helps! Enjoy! Oh the Cafe Crema was only .47 at Wal-Mart for 14 T-Discs. If you get the Chai Latte it says 16 T-Discs but its not 16 lattes- it comes with 8 Milk Disks and 8 Tea Disks, you need to use both for one cup- I also recommend putting the milk disk in first unless you like your latte more frothy and milky tasting then put it in second.

QUESTION:
Is there a way to refill a Tassimo coffee disc?
I love the Tassimo machine, but haven't found a coffee I like. Hmmm? must be a way to refill those buggers.-
ANSWER:
Unfortunately, there is no way to refill the discs. If you open them to refill them, you'll lose the barcode that tells the machine how to brew the coffee. Also, there is really no way to adequately re-seal the discs at home.I have a Tassimo and hope that they will come out with a refillable metal pod as one of their direct competitors are done. However, I'm guessing this is unlikely, because Tassimo, like computer printer manufacturers are making far more money licensing consumables (coffee pods) than they are on the machines.
Nonetheless, I love my Tassimo sufficiently that I have one in my office and one at home.
