[Food] The Official Tassimo Coffee Maker & T-Disc Thread

[droided]

Guys, Walmart has the T65 for $118 both online and in store. You can price match anywhere that has it for $250 and get it for $105. I just did so at Future Shop...

Tried the French Vanilla by Nabob and I must say, its not as tasty as I thought it would be. I still prefer the Tim Hortons' french vanilla.

Yeah it kinda tastes like the "flavoured coffee" you get from stores like "Treats" at toronto subway stations :P
Not really a taste you want to bring home

I bought a 14-pack of French Vanilla in the 'States last June (before we got them in canada) and I still haven't finished it... lol

Heh. My next question is, anyone want 13 French Vanilla Nabob T Discs :P? $3 gets em all :P. Jokes.

Ya I thought milk discs would come with this.

Question - the Nabob Lattes come with Espresso and Milk t discs. It says on the box, the espresso + milk disc = latte, but milk disc + espress = macchiato. The cappuccino one has the same espresso + milk discs. Won't it be just a latte? Or will it taste different even though same discs? Just curious...

It would be nice if they offered Variety Packs so we can taste them all individually or at least in sets.

I think the bar codes are different between the various "combo drinks". The difference in bar coding tells the Tassimo machine to use less/more water or perhaps heat the water to a higher/lower temperature - this is how it's able to create slightly different drinks using the same base ingredients (UHT milk and ground coffee).

Latte disc contains slightly more milk, fat. Sodium level is slightly difference too. I head cappuccino disc supposed to mix more air to create more foam but I brewed a Latte and Capp side by side and really couldnt tell the difference. I also did a blind test and found the capp tastes a tiny bit stronger. Hope that helps...

Does anyone think the T65 will go on sale again for $99.99 ? I can't believe I missed this deal! I'm sure a lot of places have overstock still.... thoughts? If it does, will I find the deal on page 1 here?

Has anyone been able to find Gevalia Hazlenut yet? If so what is it like?
I can't find it for sale at any of the stores but I have seen it online.

It does help. I'll keep that in mind and thanks.

That is correct, the Cappuchino has less milk and pumps more air to make it frothier. The Latte disc I think is a bit sweeter as well. Both discs have a slightly different profile.

Home Office Coffee Solutions in Toronto (place I mentioned a couple pages ago) lets you buy T-discs individually .... I think they have an online store or you can buy at their retail stores in downtown Toronto. They carry basically every T-disc currently on the market.

Thanks. Will take a look. Do these prices seem reasonable compared to regular grocery stores? Also how much does shipping cost?

To be honest I don't have a Tassimo machine ... I go to this store for it's K-cups. I think the prices were very good on the Kcup side.

I think a box of Tdiscs ranged from 5.99 - 9.99 at this store which is about the same (or better) than grocery ... Not sure about shipping. The big draw for me is the variety of kcups and ability to pick out what I want.
