Keurig Vs. Tassimo

[FlFairygirl32405]

Was looking at the Tassimo Beverage System last night at Bed, Bath, and Beyond last night. Today, they have what seems like a great deal on one. Does anyone have any experience with these? Prior to looking at this one last night, I had been leaning towards a Keurig coffee maker. Can anyone give the pros and cons of both? Thanks!

I am also debating these two brands. Any opinions out there?

I have the Tassimo and think it's great. HOWEVER, it seems to me that there is a wider variet of K cups (Kuerig's brand) at more stores than the t-discs. Just my obervations. I would decide which coffees you are most likely to buy at convenient stores to you and then make the decision that way. You only purchase the machine once, but the trips to the store for the discs and cups can be annoying if it's out of the way (or worse...if you have to buy online and pay shipping!)

I have the Keurig and absolutely love it! We bought the additional cup where you can fill it with your own coffee and not have to buy the K-cups. It was about 13.00 well worth it! Also I use it for hot water for a cup of tea....

I have a pod machine & would really like a k-cup machine. They are have a TSV on Nov 29th on QVC. Might be worth looking at if you can wait. pop over to www.singleservecoffee.com you might find some helpful anwsers.

I love my Keurig. There are K-cups available everywhere as a pp mentioned. Makes it easy to pick them up when needed. I seem to always buy them at BB and Beyond though with the 20% coupon.

It is an expensive coffee maker but totally worth it.
The two things I never complain about spending a lot on are my Keurig and my Dyson vacuum.

The two systems are really similar. What it comes down to is being locked into a particular brand of product. Each company has some exclusive vendors for their products. Gloria Jeans, Celestial Seasonings, Caribou Coffee etc. That is the real difference. If you only like Gloria Jeans, then you need to buy a Keurig.

Alternatively, I know that Keurig has a self fill unit that you can use with your own coffees, I don't know if Tassimo has a similar product or not. If not, that would be a deal breaker in my opinion as then you are completely locked into the brands they make.

I have a Tassimo-if you want espresso drinks, get this. If you want regular coffee, I'd get the Keurig-the tassimo coffee isn't great. It's not cheap, but you can set up automatic delivery at the tassimo website and not pay shipping if you order a certain amount. It makes pretty good lattes and cappucinos.

just started researching the keurig-sounds great. The B-40 w/ the water reserve is 89.99 on amazon. I will look into green mt. coffee club. i only drink a few cups a week, asking for this for christmas

we have the keurig.. we also have the insert to use our own coffee.. My friend told me costco has a nice variety pack that I might pick up this week.

I really enjoy my Keurig. Know nothing about the Tassimo, so cannot give you any opinions about it. The Keurig is one of the best things I ever bought.

I work at BB&B. If you want lattes and expressos, go with the Tassimo. If you want coffee, tea, hot chocolate go with the Keurig. We carry about 4x as many types of kcups as the Tassimo pods and sell probably 20 Keurigs for every one Tassimo. The most complaints about the Tassimo are poor tasting coffee and not as many types to choose from.

We have a Keurig and are happy with it so far. We are casual drinkers...probably 4-5 cups a week of coffee. I do like the hot chocolate though (wether kcups or running the water through and using a packet). It is also a great conversation piece and you can't beat the ease of use and clean up!

Watch QVC for a Kuerig on 11/29... looks like they have a midnight show, which usually means TSV.

I plan on buying 2 as gifts for XMas!
