The noise is not bad at all to be honest I thought it would be worse.. It's a great piece of kit for the €60 I got it for in the sale.. I was same as you mulling over a decision to get one & am now very happy with it

I noticed that Currys has the Fidelia Plus 6515Gb for 79.99, which seems to be better priced than anywhere else.

Is this a decent unit?

+1 for tassimo

Mrs boffin got one from Santa this year and its certainly better than the Dolce Gusto machine IMO

A trick we learned (online) with the cadbury's hot chocolate discs is before putting them in the machine, soak the disc in a cup of hot (not boiling) water then dry it off with a towel and pop it in the machine. The soak in hot water softens whats inside the disc and makes a better drink.


*** MAKE SURE YOU DRY THIS DISC BEFORE USING IT - DON'T BREAK YOUR MACHINE ***

Another tip we discovered is to not use the machine straight after filling the water tank from the tap. Allowing the water to reach room temp seems to produce better results.

Also tesco have (or at least had) an offer on all Tassimo disc packs for €4 each.

Happy Brewing.

TheBoffin

One more point, Read the manual

The cup or disc should not be removed until the standby light comes on.

Some people make the mistake of removing the disc when the Cup+ green light is on, if you do on some cycles you risk not getting that last burst of steam that clears the spout and prevents your next drink from tasting like whatever you made previously.

I'd be suspicious of a quiet coffee machine.

Im not much of a coffee drinker but go the t40 for herself in harvey norman today for €69 and im very impressed. Had a costa cappuccino just there and its lovely. Couldn't be easier and its not very noisy.

highly recommend seems as good as my parents 300e delonghi nespresso.

As an alternative, we have this:

http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/1297087/Trail/searchtext%3ESENSEO.htm

Senseo machine, now half price at 39.99, or you can get one with a bigger water capacity for 51.99. We buy the pods online from this crowd:

http://www.kaffeepadshop.com/shop/

Bulk buy and comes by courier, about once to twice a year. Usually between 30c to 35c per pod. I just buy normal and decaf coffee but you can get all sorts- chocolate, cappucino, latte etc

Is the £20 off online orders when you register your Tassimo on tassimo.co.uk finished? Can't seem to see it on their site any more. Would anyone be able to confirm that that particular offer is gone? Was about to send link to a family member about cost of the T20 in argos and the £20 voucher but can't find the voucher link.

Btw, have my Tassimo a while, love it for the espresso (Mastro Lorenzo) and Americano (Jacobs Medaille D'Or) but have to admit that I use the steam spout on my old Krups to make the foamed milk in combination with espresso for a cappuccino

Yes that's the one that was on offer from D.I.D and that's the link I'm sending on to family. As far as I'm aware, this is the cheapest Irish instore offer available on this machine, but of course am entirely open to (and hopeful of) correction!

Good stuff, thank you very much for your reply and informative screenshot.

Also, welcome to Boards, I notice it's your first post!

Ya I registered the machine last night and got my £20 voucher by email then. Makes up nicely for them not putting a single sample in the box.

t40: little bit bigger water tank + fancier button + different materials used (not much plastic). thats all... both of them making the exact same coffee from the same discs.

Thanks, the one for €53 will do me so

Another question to anyone who has a tassimo, what is best size cups to use

Ive been using a bog standard mug, you can hold the button to get a longer brew as the standard brew is smallish.

Ya go for the T20 I couldn't see much of a difference but had to go for t40 as there was no stock in cork.

My mum got a t40 for Christmas and loves it so far. She's got a couple of the glass latte cups that are slightly too small for the standard Costa latte measure, though, does anyone know where you can buy these cup/glass things in different sizes (not a coffee drinker, so have no idea myself!)

Homestore and more have them

Seriously considering getting one of these coffee machines! We had a nespresso machine for ages in work and they recently got a T40 Tassimo as the nespresso packed in, and I have to say I love the Tassimo. Love the variety of discs for the Tassimo! Is there any major difference between the T20 and T40? there's roughly €20 in the difference. If I went with the machine should I just spend the extra €20 and get the T40?

I got the Tassimo T65 in Currys for €80, down (allegedly) from €200
http://www.currys.ie/Product/BOSCH-Tassimo-Fidelia-Plus-TAS6515GB-Hot-Drinks-Machine-Titanium/309993/331
Comes up as out of stock on the website but there were a few left in Blanchardstown.

Very happy with it in the early stages, not very noisy, very simple to use and the coffee is grand and hot. Not too bulky either compared to the Dolce Gusto machines with a similar water tank capacity.

Hi folks

Bought a Tassimo today (T43) and set it up following the instructions. Only problem is that it isnt heating the water. All I am getting is ice cold coffee. I cant see what I am doing wrong. Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers

daytob

is it plugged in and switched on?
