Why I Love My Tassimo Machine

“This caramel macchiato is the perfect balance of coffee and cream. From the rich aroma that fills the room to the signature sounds of my Tassimo machine, the entire brewing process is an experience I love.

I’ve even kept a refillable pod as a backup, but as long as these caramel pods are available, they’ll be my first choice.

“There’s just something about that morning ritual—the shake of the pod, the steam, and that first caramel-infused sip—that sets the tone for my entire day. I’m crossing my fingers that Tassimo hears our pleas for more variety and better availability here in the States! Until then, I’ll be savoring every drop of this macchiato.

Many years ago, Flat White by Tassimo was my go to flavor, but they stopped offering that and I am always hoping it will come back.

Matcha comfort

I just recently bought a sample package of the Vital Proteins Collagen Matcha powder, because I had received this beautiful matcha gift set and had to give it a try. I researched matcha tea to see the benefits and the best way to make it.

Beautiful set! The bowl is big and comforting (I share a photo of me holding it to give an idea of the size) I enjoyed using this set to create my comfort drink. I use Vital Proteins Matcha Collagen powder. First, I use the whisk to measure 1 1/2 teaspoons of matcha powder and whisk that into the beautiful, heavy bowl. I heat a tablespoon or so of water (not boiling); and add that to the matcha bowl with the powder. Use the Bamboo whisk to blend this into a smooth liquid with no clumps. Rinse the bamboo whisk and set it on the drying whisk holder to keep the shape and help it dry properly. I then have my electric frother nearby heating up either my almond milk or my oat milk (about 2/3 cups) While the milk is heating, I add a tsp or so of honey to my matcha mixture in the matcha bowl. I pour the frothed milk into the matcha bowl and using the sifter, I blend all of this until frothy. Sprinkle with nutmeg and enjoy.

A couple of tips: the spoon stand is hiding under the foam; I share a photo with an arrow pointing at the hidden spot.

This is an adorable set that is well-made. I am pleased with this set. I share a photo of the size of the bowl next to my face. This is very comforting and I feel pampered with this.

Tassimo Flat White coffee

Peppermint Dark Chocolate latte

My Tassimo coffee maker, is my favorite coffee machine. I have a variety of coffee machines, but this is the one I use every day – Period. I also bought the make your own pods, which I experiment with now and then. I just wish I could figure out how to make a latte and/or cappuccino with the empty pods.

This is my favorite Flat White mixture. The Tassimo Flat White is harder to find, so, I only treat myself to it on the weekend.

In the photos, you’ll see the sweetener I prefer. But this coffee is delicious without a sweetener. I just like the holiday flavors throughout the year.

I like to add a drop of dark chocolate liquid sweetener to the cup, before I start with the milk pod; I then add the Peppermint liquid sweetener to the top of the milk foam, before starting the espresso pod. Tassimo Flat white is a favorite over the years.

I wish Tassimo coffee was available in the U.S.

I buy it online only when I can find free shipping, as it is already a bit expensive. My second favorite latte, is the Jacob Caramel Macchiato. Tassimo also offers a variety of dark and medium roasts, which I enjoy throughout the year.

I have had my Tassimo machine for a few years, if it ever stops working, I will buy another.
