Tassimo – The Art of the Perfect Cup
Thank you for purchasing the Tassimo hot beverage machine. With Tassimo, you can now enjoy your favourite hot beverage any time. Rich filter coffee, intense espresso, delicate caffè crema, indulgent cappuccino, even hot chocolate* and tea are yours at the touch of a button.
The Tassimo machine is designed to work exclusively with special pods called Tassimo Discs (T-DISCS). T-DISCS contain precisely measured amounts of coffee, tea, chocolate* and concentrated milk**. The internal components of the T-DISC™ are uniquely tailored to each beverage and guide the flow through the Tassimo machine.
When you insert a T-DISC, the Tassimo machine reads the bar code printed on the label. This tells the machine exactly the size of drink, the brewing time and the precise temperature required to make your beverage. T-DISCS make a perfect team with the Tassimo machine and ensure exceptional beverage quality every single time, no matter what you choose to drink. T-DISCS are available in stores where you typically buy coffee.
Your package contains the following:
•Tassimo Machine
•Quick Start Card
•Cleaning Disc
•User Instructions
•Cleaning Tool
•Tassimo Registration Card
*Concentrated Hot Chocolate Flavour Drink **Condensed partly skimmed milk

Tassimo – Tips for the perfect cup
Fresh Water
For best results, always use fresh, cold water. Fresh water allows the flavours to better unfold.
T-DISCS can be stored in their carton dispenser or if you prefer, you can transfer them to another container. Whilst you should always store your T-DISCS in a cool, dry place, it is not necessary to keep them in the refrigerator. Do not keep T-DISCS in the freezer. If unopened, your T-DISCS are good until the ‘best before date’ on the outer package.
Cups and Mugs
The Tassimo machine will accommodate most of your favourite cups and mugs. Use the higher level of the adjustable cup stand for espresso cups and the lower level for most other cups. For larger mugs, you can also temporarily remove both the drip tray and the cup stand; however, these should be replaced right after brewing. Always keep the splashback in place while brewing.
To avoid spilling over, please ensure that your cup is the right size for the drink you are making. These are recommended cup sizes:
Espresso |
75 ml |
|
Cappuccino |
200 ml |
|
Coffee, Caffè crema, Chocolate* |
|
|
and Tea |
280 ml |
Maintenance |
|
|
You must regularly clean and descale your Tassimo |
|
|
machine to ensure best results (see sections “Cleaning” |
|
|
and “Descaling”). For cleaning and descaling purposes, a |
|
|
reusable cleaning disc is provided with the machine. |
|
|
Please keep it in a safe place for use as required. |
