It would be interesting also to show how much cleaning there is to do on the machines. One of the things I love about my Tassimo is it takes 90 secs to remove the two parts that need cleaning, rinse and dry them and put them back. Beats the heck out of my filter coffee machine. BTW he also took the milk disc out before it was done! (I also agree it with the comment below, he made a sort of latte macchiato, not a cappuccino). I think the main trick with these is to find drinks you like, I have a few with the Tassimo but there are others I'm less impressed with. Just trying one drink and saying you don't like the system is not so good. So far my favorite is the "Costa Americano", followed by the "Carte Noire Crema Intenso" and the "Jacobs Latte Macchiato Less Sweet", which isn't the best thing ever but is a fun thing to do. I still have a number of others to try though... IMHO the trick with Tassimo is to get a machine when there is a deal on, I got my T4 via a Costa deal where it was 45 quid inc postage and included the free 20 quid voucher for coffee you always get, in the U.K. anyway, with a machine.
I say for latte get regular lattes and add syrup to them but if you want a bog standard wake up drink put the kettle on coffee I say go with the XL intense coffee pods for a big mug of decent coffee lattes are sooo expensive on a tasimo machine wish they sold a bigger pack 16 coffee and more crema milk but that's just me ile go through 4 cups of coffee a day lol so a 8 pack of pods is not gonna last me ile probably use my own syrup gingerbread latte monin syrup 😀
I love my tassimo. It does give a good bit of froth and I also bought a Bodum milk frother which is easy to use along with it! Everybody who has tried it so far has loved it! Gives a perfect cappuccino every time!
This is what most American/Canadian youtubers mess up. What he really made with tassimo was a latte macchiato NOT cappuccino. For a real cappuccino you need to use the espresso coffee disc first and then the milk disc which is smaller than the one he used and also makes more foam. At least this is what it says on the tassimo Jacobs cappuccino box. BTW I'm from Europe.
On a Tassimo machine you need to use the milk disc first as the hot coffee then washes through ant milk remnants from the spout. The other way round results in hard milk clogging up the spout.
I have a Nespresso at home and a Tassimo in the office. I prefer the coffee from the Nespresso, but Tassimo is so easy to make coffee, tea, chocolate etc. quickly when we have customers in. If I were to use the Nespresso in the office I would end up never talking to my customers! When on my own in the office though I tend to drink tea and Tassimo does a great job at that too. Nespresso doesn't do tea.
I was wondering what machine I buy for office especially that my drinks depend on my mood... coffee/tea/hotchoclate... n ur comment was the answer.. thank u
5:37 calling bullshit on that point, barcode scanning takes a fraction of a second to do, and it reads the code the moment you close the lid, notice if you don't put anything in there and close the lid, the light remains on the standby mode, and when you put a drink with barcode in there, the green light goes on. Just pointing that out that is bull. Also, if you had started to make the coffees at the same time, the tassimo would have been done at least 2 or 3 minutes before the nespresso, simply because the milk capsules are done with one press rather than having to use that little milk frother every time.
just for ease, 6:54 he puts a capsule in the machine, notice the green light goes on, but at the end when he closes it up, 10:30 he closes it with no capsule in and the light stays orange.
correct! Also the tassimo does not need to heat up before use! In the video the Nespresso is already heated up! The Tassimo waits a little at the beginning because it has a instantaneous water heater unlike the Nespresso which has to heat up a tank filled with water. Also the time and pauses are needed to build up the pressure and let the espresso brew a special amount of time which is set in the barcode and varies from other coffee types. Furthermore the milk T-Disc was used before instead of the espresso with the tassimo - vice versa with the nespresso because it can't do milk(?). Also - here are some other facts: Disadvantages of Nespresso: - needs to heat up (Tassimo can start instantly) - fits only small glases - capsules contain only coffee - you have to choose the right button - no individual brewing programm for every coffee type - need of a seperate milk throbber - need to buy milk - need to keep the milk fresh (fridge) - need to clean the milk throbber - need a second glas - need a spoon - need to apply amount of milk and milkfoam by yourself (different taste of every cappuccino) - high price other remarks concerning the video: - use the correct glases for each coffee type (see note on package) - there is no stiff milk foam on a cappuccino only a creamy milk layer (approx. 1-2 cm) - you did something like a Latte Macchiato with the Nespresso (see also glas type)
Haha, you seem to know a lot about coffee :P I have recently started trying the teas from the tassimo, I was actually rather surprised, at the rate it was pumping the water through I thought it would be really weak, but the tea is actually really good! I have been pretty much addicted to both the earl grey and Russian Star teas, they are both really good, and super easy to clean up and make.
Great review but I think you have missed a more relevant point, I agree that the Nespresso is better at making a better drink but the reason why most people buy one of the two machines is ease of use, I have both a Tassimo and proper barista machine with steam wand, burr grinder etc... Tassimo is great as all you have to clean after is your cup, so no worries for making a quick coffee on the way to work... with the Nespresso if you want anything more than espresso it will occur cleaning all the bits up after every use, which is to much hassle for me... This is my opinion, its very much personal preference on what machine is better for the individual.
Glad you love your Tassimo, Ed. :) I have a Keurig Vue myself and love it. Also have the Nespresso and love that too. The only thing that's really messy on the Nespresso to clean up is the milk frother. The Nespresso itself isn't messy at all - just open and drop the capsule into the receptacle and make sure your water tank is full. But since I like cappuccinos, I tend to use my milk frother a lot and yes, that can be messy.
It's a really good idea to run a shot of water through the Nespresso after each use. There's always a bit of coffee left in the machine, so if you wan't your machine to stay clean and your next shot of espresso to be completely fresh then just do that :)
Fresh milk is of course a lot better than dried milk. Though, being from Northeren Europe, I'd still rather go for the Tassimo. I've tried both, and there's no question, but you really have to have a preference for espresso to choose Nespresso. It's really great when you're in a hurry, or just don't wanna bother. However when friends visit, I take the time to brew the real deal the old way. ^^
Short answer is - Nespresso 19 bar. Keep in mind that Nespresso is single serve espresso machine where Tassimo is single serve beverage system (coffee, tea and etc.). If you like only espresso you'll need Nespresso. If you like other beverages - Tassimo. Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com
I don't know anything about coffee and all the drinks. But I'm looking to get a Nespresso as an xmas present for my parents. I'm not trying to spend over 200$, I see that they list the U Pure for under 200 and was just wondering what it consists of. My parents like capachinos and amaricanos and those kind of drinks so would that device be good for that? Also, does it just brew a regular pot of coffee or are they just single cups?
I guess what im asking is: Does the Tassimo, brew what you would define as a "good" tasty cup og coffee ? I would consider myself quite the coffee geek, and I really enjoy Nespresso espresso, and some of the Dolce Gusto coffee's. I also brew "Real" Espresso on a traditional espressomachine, so I do know how a Good cup of coffee should taste like. Will Tassimo be able to make me a good tasting cup of coffee ?
So you're saying that dairy beverages (like latte) taste bad on Tassimo? And what about dairy beverages on Dolce Gusto? Because I have an old Keurig machine and I want to replace it in a new beverage machine, but not Nespresso, because I don't drink espresso that often.
Very well said, and I totally agree. I just had this discussion with hubby the other day. I was drinking my lovely Nespresso cappuccino (which I love, BTW) when hubby was coming in from work. Now, he loves just a plane old cup of Joe from either our drip coffee maker or the BP up the street for 25 cents (keep one of their cups and they give you refills for a quarter). He said, "Oh, you're drinking that crap." I said, "Hey, it's not crap. You just don't know what's good." LOL!
Pretty sure you are meant to wait for the light to stop blinking on the tassimo before opening it and taking out the disc. Using it that way reduces the life span of the machine. Otherwise I don't see the issue with the video. Seems like people that prefer to be more hands on will enjoy the Nespresso and people that prefer quick but less control will like the Tassimo. Tassimo is more for me. Lots of options and they seem to be sticking around since I can pick up discs at my local store and buy in bulk on places like Amazon.
The XL black coffee pods dispense approx. 200ml of coffee. My partner and I just picked up an original Vivy and we use 2 pods to fill up our XXL coffee mugs.
I never had a Tassimo, but I guess for the money, it's a pretty decent machine so I've heard. Me personally, I love my Keurig Vue, and I just got my Nespresso Citiz last week and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. The coffee it comes with is to die for. Frothing milk can be a bit of a chore but well worth it. :)
Just got a Tassimo, love it. It makes pretty decent coffee (love the Café Voluptuoso) & it's simple for the home. The Nespresso looks like loads of mess & washing up.
Hey, thanks, this is just the type of advice I was looking for. I realise that the milk frother of the nespresso will be a pain to clean, but to have a proper 10 bar pressure brewed espresso has swung it for me. Thanks again.
Yep, I hear you. When I drink regular coffee, it's black for me. I do get in the mood for a cappuccino though and do like them, so I can go either way. Totally agree on the less is more. I hate house cleaning, especially dishes. I'm visually impaired, so I'm all about making my life easier, and when I don't have to struggle to see something, I'm in Seventh Heaven. I never knew there were so many coffee "contraptions" till I started researching them. There's so much on the market for sure. :)
He doesn't like cappuccinos but I made him taste it just because. For just regular coffee, I love my Keurig Vue. Enjoy your Tassimo, and I hope you love it as much as I love my Keurig and my Nespresso. :)
Hey, Just wondering what machine you would buy for specialty drinks, like vanilla lattes, cappuccino's, (COLD DRINKS IS A BIG BONUS TOO) I think I would like nespresso, but their coffee looks bitter, and very limited flavors, I thought about the keurig vue, and also I think i might like an nescafe, I might try tassimo, but apparently they make crap coffee, any suggestions?
I own a Nespresso and two Tassimo machines. The Nespresso Gran Maestria and the T45 snd T65. The Nespresso is a much better machine for espresso, cappaccino and latte. More espresso choices and much higher quality finished products. The Tassimo can brew reg coffees as well as specialty drinks. I keep the T45 at my office and the T65 for reg. coffee at home and an occasional latte when I am on the run.
Latte and Cappuccino are Espresso based machines. So we you can try Nespresso machines (Lattissima for example) or Starbucks Verismo. Both I think will do what you are asking for. Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com.
I prefer Nespresso, they have better coffee, but what did you do with Late :) You have to fill a cup with milk (from Aeroccino) and then coffee from Nespresso, Late from nespresso looks terrible on this video.
and the obvious one is the taste, a condenced milk latte liquified by water comapred to the real thing?. plus where would you buy all of those t cups, i havent seen them around me... and it seems wasteful, one disk for milk and one for coffee? plus price point of that? and at least you can recycle nesp capsules since they are alumninum. idk but l think that the nespresso is a better bet.
I'm with you. Nespresso all the way. Of course, in all fairness, I've never owned a Tassimo or had coffee from it, as I chose to go with the Keurig Vue. Great machine for a good cup of Joe. My Nespresso gets used every day and I LOVE it. :)
From what i could see about Nespresso (don't have one so i can't tell for sure) it's great if you want just espresso. And that is fine. You can make all the espresso based drinks starting with that, if you have the right tools and ingredients. I chose to buy the Tassimo T20 because I don't live alone. I like my espresso, the wife loves long coffee, we both drink hot chocolate, my father in law prefers long, weaker coffee, and so on. Maybe at some point I would get a Nespresso, but I would be the only one to use it, so it doesn't make much sense right now. As for the taste of the Tassimo made espresso, it's actually decent. It all depends on the TDisks you buy. My advice would be to think about how you would actually use the machine and decide based on that which one is the right one for you. P.S. I don't really like the tea disks that I was able to find for the Tassimo (not horrible, but not great either), but it is perfectly able to give you the hot water to make tea from whatever blend you prefer.
Please see our video "Nespresso Citiz vs Pixie vs U vs Essenza" Nespresso will brew Espresso only not coffee. But you can do Caffè Americano (espresso based beverage) and etc. Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com.
It's hard to compare taste since Tassimo used condensed milk in their T-Discs. All I can tell you that it's different :). Anyone have different opinion on it. Hope this helps. Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com
Agreed. I don't like cappucino, I've stopped cow's milk so black for me. Also, I use a wheelchair and although I tackle a washing up mountain every day, less is more. :) I never understood the 'contraptions' until I got one!
No we never said it's taste bad. But we think you can use real milk as well. It will be cheaper plus taste different :). Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com.
Actrually this guy is allways wrong about the t disc barcodes. The barcode is instantanusly scaned while the second you close the brew chamber. I know this because there is a switch by the side of the lid, if you push that switch it will start scaning. if it detects nothing it will go back to standby. If it does detect a barcode it will flash the scaner and it knows what to do. Simply put, as you close the lid with a tdisc inside{4:31}, and then the light already has turned green, it‘s done scaning. 5:23 the reason it takes this long time to brew is because of the pressure building up. Tassimo does not preheat so that's another reason it's so long. Besides, milk tdisc require more heat and pressure, and that also opens up the air valve, which creats more foam for milk specialty drinks. Personaly i like the tassimo system, it has tons of variaty of drinks, and tons brands to chose from [main is jacobs], over the Nescafe Dolce Gusto, which like nesspreso , has only its own brands of drinks and uses powdered milk, which doesen't have the richer taste. But i find the tassimo is more fun and experimental, trying out difrent drinks, that ive never tryed before, and i could find that Carte Noire Esspresos are less sour then jacobs ones. [Which i like Carte Noire] TO THE PERSON WHO READ ALL THIS, HAPPY DISHHWASHEERRMAS!
Speaking convience, get a nespresso latissima. press ONE button and get whatever drink you want, latte, cap, machiatto. plus the tassimo takes forever to read. the barcode thing is cool but i dont really care if its going to take triple the time. also, the crema doesnt compare to nespresso,
I have just sold my tassimo and bought a nespresso the tassimo maybe quick but the coffee is not good and the milk taste is terrible tastes nothing like a proper barista coffee there is no substitute for fresh milk Conclusion If you know nothing about good coffee tassimo is your winner If you love coffee and want it at barista standard nespresso is the winner closest to getting coffee made properly
But then, you're using real milk and not a capsule or pod, so that makes a difference. It's just what you like. :) Now, my husband thinks I'm CRAZY for having these "contraptions" as he calls them. He likes just a plain old cup of Joe with our drip coffee maker, which we use on the weekends. Also love my French Press. So, as you can see, I'm pretty spoiled with my coffee. :)
I don't believe this a very fair comparison when he uses a separate device to make the cream. Why not make the cream on that device for both coffees and do a taste test. Also when he makes the espresso on the nespresso he compares it to tassimo but that one was mixing with milk. Crazy test to me.
Nespresso is much better. Tassimo charge a whopper for their ‘pods’ whereas nespresso pods are available everywhere and can be bought much cheaper (supermarket own versions etc)
If you are comparing side by side, surely you should have put the milk in the cup first for both Machines. We get it, you personally prefer the Nespresso machine.
If you want a decent hot cup of coffee and you don't care about coffee as much task if you care about drinking various wierd coffee go nespresso I just fancy a decent mug of hot coffee and milk in the morning anyway and maybe tea aswel
Please people.19 bar pressure is overkill. A real espresso is done at 9 bar. No more. And Costa is not decent coffee. Its a brand. Go an independent shop!
A somewhat biased review. Obviously a fan of nesspresso before he even started the review. The tassimo is more versatile as it will do a multitude of drinks including teas and chocolates as well coffees. The only drawback with the tassimo is that only tassimo make the pods, whereas you can buy 3rd party pods for the nesspresso. That's why brought out the vertuo range.
Tassino does not make espresso. It makes espresso flavoured water and little foamed milk powder. On the other hand nespresso makes a great espresso wlth pressure and real coffee but sttill not traditional espresso. You need to grind your coffee fresh and it plays a huge role in the espresso. There is also more pressure in traditional espresso.
Look at all that good crema you lost by pouring out the shot! I'd put the hot milk in the cup first then brew the espresso over the top of it. Like the Tassimo does :)
Yeah but Nespresso makes only espresso, not coffee, and the taste of the Tassimo beverages comes down to personal prefrence, some people might like it, some not :)
Some very sweet people that I have met - are apt to be sensitive when their favourite coffee is denigrated so much - If we all liked the same for heaven's sakes where would this lead - I am a Tassimo fan - I do not care for any Nescafé or nespresso never have - but I know a charming person who loves it - actually denigrating a person's choice of any consumable product does indeed reflect upon their taste - if I denigrate Jack's comment (I shan't) that would be uncivil of me - well there ya go
If you knew anything about coffee, you wouldn't buy either of these machines. To make quality coffee at home, you need a quality machine. I use a Jura Z6, the best domestic coffe machine in the world bar none!
you forgot to mention the difference in bar witch is why i believe nespresso can't be compared to tassimo.only nesspresso gives you 19 bar machines! :)
I wish people would stop referring to the different coffees as shit; because A) I doubt very much they have actually tasted shit so are not in a position to make this judgement and B) just because something isn't to a particular person's taste does not mean it's crap! Take for instance opera, I for one do not find it entertaining in the least, but there are millions of people who do! I think any intelligent "normal" person will realise that the only thing that tastes like shit is crap!!!!
It would be interesting also to show how much cleaning there is to do on the machines. One of the things I love about my Tassimo is it takes 90 secs to remove the two parts that need cleaning, rinse and dry them and put them back. Beats the heck out of my filter coffee machine.
BTW he also took the milk disc out before it was done! (I also agree it with the comment below, he made a sort of latte macchiato, not a cappuccino).
I think the main trick with these is to find drinks you like, I have a few with the Tassimo but there are others I'm less impressed with. Just trying one drink and saying you don't like the system is not so good.
So far my favorite is the "Costa Americano", followed by the "Carte Noire Crema Intenso" and the "Jacobs Latte Macchiato Less Sweet", which isn't the best thing ever but is a fun thing to do. I still have a number of others to try though...
IMHO the trick with Tassimo is to get a machine when there is a deal on, I got my T4 via a Costa deal where it was 45 quid inc postage and included the free 20 quid voucher for coffee you always get, in the U.K. anyway, with a machine.

He doesn't like cappuccinos but I made him taste it just because. For just regular coffee, I love my Keurig Vue. Enjoy your Tassimo, and I hope you love it as much as I love my Keurig and my Nespresso. :)
Hey, Just wondering what machine you would buy for specialty drinks, like vanilla lattes, cappuccino's, (COLD DRINKS IS A BIG BONUS TOO) I think I would like nespresso, but their coffee looks bitter, and very limited flavors, I thought about the keurig vue, and also I think i might like an nescafe, I might try tassimo, but apparently they make crap coffee, any suggestions?
I own a Nespresso and two Tassimo machines. The Nespresso Gran Maestria and the T45 snd T65. The Nespresso is a much better machine for espresso, cappaccino and latte. More espresso choices and much higher quality finished products. The Tassimo can brew reg coffees as well as specialty drinks. I keep the T45 at my office and the T65 for reg. coffee at home and an occasional latte when I am on the run.
Latte and Cappuccino are Espresso based machines. So we you can try Nespresso machines (Lattissima for example) or Starbucks Verismo. Both I think will do what you are asking for. Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com.
Great comment. Just a small correction - Starbucks no longer makes T-Discs for Tassimo :(. Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com.
Thanks for comment :). Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com
I prefer Nespresso, they have better coffee, but what did you do with Late :) You have to fill a cup with milk (from Aeroccino) and then coffee from Nespresso, Late from nespresso looks terrible on this video.
Not really comparing when you dont make them the same way. Why not the espresso first in the tassimo?
and the obvious one is the taste, a condenced milk latte liquified by water comapred to the real thing?. plus where would you buy all of those t cups, i havent seen them around me... and it seems wasteful, one disk for milk and one for coffee? plus price point of that? and at least you can recycle nesp capsules since they are alumninum. idk but l think that the nespresso is a better bet.
I'm with you. Nespresso all the way. Of course, in all fairness, I've never owned a Tassimo or had coffee from it, as I chose to go with the Keurig Vue. Great machine for a good cup of Joe. My Nespresso gets used every day and I LOVE it. :)
From what i could see about Nespresso (don't have one so i can't tell for sure) it's great if you want just espresso. And that is fine. You can make all the espresso based drinks starting with that, if you have the right tools and ingredients. I chose to buy the Tassimo T20 because I don't live alone. I like my espresso, the wife loves long coffee, we both drink hot chocolate, my father in law prefers long, weaker coffee, and so on. Maybe at some point I would get a Nespresso, but I would be the only one to use it, so it doesn't make much sense right now. As for the taste of the Tassimo made espresso, it's actually decent. It all depends on the TDisks you buy. My advice would be to think about how you would actually use the machine and decide based on that which one is the right one for you.
P.S. I don't really like the tea disks that I was able to find for the Tassimo (not horrible, but not great either), but it is perfectly able to give you the hot water to make tea from whatever blend you prefer.
What would be best if I want to use soya milk instead of calves dairy milk? I like Americano, with hazelnut syrup and soya milk best.
You can just add your own milk before you start the machine, and leave the milk pod out.
You made latte macchiato with the T45 .. :)
BTW, metal spoons are scratching the Aeroccino 3, it's not recommended :P
Compare taste ? We would like to know what the taste is like on both the machines. :)
Please see our video "Nespresso Citiz vs Pixie vs U vs Essenza" Nespresso will brew Espresso only not coffee. But you can do Caffè Americano (espresso based beverage) and etc. Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com.
I'd love to have coffee with the presenter he's cute! Team Tassimo of course! 😊❤️☕️
Nespresso every time for me! I love my Citiz machine. I've yet to taste a Tassimo coffee so cannot comment on the quality.
Why did you use that random glass for the Nespresso one lol
That's the classical expresso making process. If you haven't seen it yet, you wouldn't know.
@@PaulSebastianM Yea, alright mate
Thanks, video really helped me decide which machine to buy.
Thanks. Enjoy your cup, www.aromacup.com
It's hard to compare taste since Tassimo used condensed milk in their T-Discs. All I can tell you that it's different :). Anyone have different opinion on it. Hope this helps. Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com
Nespresso is by far the best!It ha sixteen different varieties,plus her new one naora!IIt is an ideal coffee machine for an espresso lover!
Agreed. I don't like cappucino, I've stopped cow's milk so black for me. Also, I use a wheelchair and although I tackle a washing up mountain every day, less is more. :)
I never understood the 'contraptions' until I got one!
have you done a comparison between the tassimo t12 and dolce gusto piccolo? if not, could you please? p.s loving your work!
No we never said it's taste bad. But we think you can use real milk as well. It will be cheaper plus taste different :). Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com.
wait, why would you pour the espresso out of the cup after saying you love the crema? me thinks yiu actually dont know that much aboot coffee, sir!
Actrually this guy is allways wrong about the t disc barcodes.
The barcode is instantanusly scaned while the second you close the brew chamber.
I know this because there is a switch by the side of the lid, if you push that switch
it will start scaning. if it detects nothing it will go back to standby.
If it does detect a barcode it will flash the scaner and it knows what to do.
Simply put, as you close the lid with a tdisc inside{4:31}, and then the light already has turned green,
it‘s done scaning.
5:23 the reason it takes this long time to brew is because of the pressure building up.
Tassimo does not preheat so that's another reason it's so long.
Besides, milk tdisc require more heat and pressure, and that also opens up the air valve,
which creats more foam for milk specialty drinks.
Personaly i like the tassimo system, it has tons of variaty of drinks, and tons brands to chose from [main is jacobs], over the Nescafe Dolce Gusto, which like nesspreso , has only its own
brands of drinks and uses powdered milk, which doesen't have the richer taste.
But i find the tassimo is more fun and experimental, trying out difrent drinks, that ive never tryed
before, and i could find that Carte Noire Esspresos are less sour then jacobs ones. [Which i like Carte Noire]
TO THE PERSON WHO READ ALL THIS, HAPPY DISHHWASHEERRMAS!
Speaking convience, get a nespresso latissima. press ONE button and get whatever drink you want, latte, cap, machiatto. plus the tassimo takes forever to read. the barcode thing is cool but i dont really care if its going to take triple the time. also, the crema doesnt compare to nespresso,
Can you make a review of Tassimo T55 Styline? Thanks!
I have just sold my tassimo and bought a nespresso the tassimo maybe quick but the coffee is not good and the milk taste is terrible
tastes nothing like a proper barista coffee there is no substitute for fresh milk
Conclusion
If you know nothing about good coffee tassimo is your winner
If you love coffee and want it at barista standard nespresso is the winner closest to getting coffee made properly
Mark Kendall totally agree, especially the Starbucks pods
But then, you're using real milk and not a capsule or pod, so that makes a difference. It's just what you like. :) Now, my husband thinks I'm CRAZY for having these "contraptions" as he calls them. He likes just a plain old cup of Joe with our drip coffee maker, which we use on the weekends. Also love my French Press. So, as you can see, I'm pretty spoiled with my coffee. :)
I don't believe this a very fair comparison when he uses a separate device to make the cream. Why not make the cream on that device for both coffees and do a taste test. Also when he makes the espresso on the nespresso he compares it to tassimo but that one was mixing with milk. Crazy test to me.
I have had both and I prefer the tassimo
@derfelix1986 Thank you. More are coming :).
They do Costa Coffe now.
Nespresso is much better. Tassimo charge a whopper for their ‘pods’ whereas nespresso pods are available everywhere and can be bought much cheaper (supermarket own versions etc)
If you are comparing side by side, surely you should have put the milk in the cup first for both Machines. We get it, you personally prefer the Nespresso machine.
Haha that first sentence really made me giggle. Very good point though. Agreed.
I have tried both... Tassimo by far
A lot of misinformation in this video. Look elsewhere people.
He gives the impression the Tassimo is poor, he could not be further from the truth. Not a fair test in any way
can't imagine make 4-6 coffe on pixie if friends come,its around 30min and a lot of cleaning later...tassimo win
Please if you fan make a video nepsresso vs dolce gusto
If you want a decent hot cup of coffee and you don't care about coffee as much task if you care about drinking various wierd coffee go nespresso I just fancy a decent mug of hot coffee and milk in the morning anyway and maybe tea aswel
It's all about pressure not coffee grounds :). Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com.
Great video.
But Nespresso doesn't do hot chocolate ='(
I didn't know basshunter is in aromacup.com
Do you know NexPod? Find more on nexpod.com!
Tassimo!
Please people.19 bar pressure is overkill. A real espresso is done at 9 bar. No more. And Costa is not decent coffee. Its a brand. Go an independent shop!
A somewhat biased review. Obviously a fan of nesspresso before he even started the review. The tassimo is more versatile as it will do a multitude of drinks including teas and chocolates as well coffees. The only drawback with the tassimo is that only tassimo make the pods, whereas you can buy 3rd party pods for the nesspresso. That's why brought out the vertuo range.
love nespresso, top 1-2% of coffee in the world so yummm
Tassino does not make espresso. It makes espresso flavoured water and little foamed milk powder. On the other hand nespresso makes a great espresso wlth pressure and real coffee but sttill not traditional espresso. You need to grind your coffee fresh and it plays a huge role in the espresso. There is also more pressure in traditional espresso.
Créma pod far too expensive. I have an espresso frotter that I use in conjunction with my Tassimo.
Love tassimo.
Why does this guy pronounce it Pixeee?
Look at all that good crema you lost by pouring out the shot! I'd put the hot milk in the cup first then brew the espresso over the top of it. Like the Tassimo does :)
Yeah but Nespresso makes only espresso, not coffee, and the taste of the Tassimo beverages comes down to personal prefrence, some people might like it, some not :)
I work in a store that sells both and iv tasted different coffees with both and the nespresso wins definitely
Some very sweet people that I have met - are apt to be sensitive when their favourite coffee is denigrated so much - If we all liked the same for heaven's sakes where would this lead - I am a Tassimo fan - I do not care for any Nescafé or nespresso never have - but I know a charming person who loves it - actually denigrating a person's choice of any consumable product does indeed reflect upon their taste - if I denigrate Jack's comment (I shan't) that would be uncivil of me - well there ya go
*can
If you knew anything about coffee, you wouldn't buy either of these machines. To make quality coffee at home, you need a quality machine. I use a Jura Z6, the best domestic coffe machine in the world bar none!
you forgot to mention the difference in bar witch is why i believe nespresso can't be compared to tassimo.only nesspresso gives you 19 bar machines! :)
@MrWiseinheart Both of them are great gifts :).
fresh milk > gross milk blend
I wish people would stop referring to the different coffees as shit; because A) I doubt very much they have actually tasted shit so are not in a position to make this judgement and B) just because something isn't to a particular person's taste does not mean it's crap! Take for instance opera, I for one do not find it entertaining in the least, but there are millions of people who do! I think any intelligent "normal" person will realise that the only thing that tastes like shit is crap!!!!
Yeap. No more metal spoons :). Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com.
