TASSIMO: Technology Behind the Perfect Brew

Ever feel intimidated about making the perfect cup of "Joe?" Curious about how Cappuccino and Espresso is made so artfully and tastefully?

I've often wondered and quite frankly felt incompetent trying to make some of the so-called "Yuppie or Buppie" hot specialty beverages. Call it ego or pride, I just could not bare to risk my fairly good reputation as a foodie and cook by serving, say....a BAD CUP OF COFFEE. How would I salvage myself?

Well, that all changed a few days ago after sampling the TASSIMO Hot Beverage System. After several attempts with the machine, I began whipping up drink after drink....discovering a "whole new world." With my new found success, I imagined the many events & entertaining I could now do. I was finally at peace and no longer "hot beverage challenged!" This machine delivered the perfect cup of my favorite beverages every single time. I offered hot chocolate to the kids, espresso to my husband and as they sipped with pleasure, I knew that I'd hit "liquid gold"....especially with the cold weather coming up.

HOW DOES THE TASSIMO SYSTEM WORK?

With patented features and something the manufacturers (Braun & Kraft Foods) describe as smart technology, this single serve machine is in a class by itself. Designed to work exclusively with special pods called TASSIMO DISCS (T-DISCS), the machine allows even a novice to make coffee, tea, chocolate, cappuccino and latte.

Beverages are packaged in single use containers with labels that feature a bar code. When the T-DISC is inserted into the machine, it "reads" the code which "instructs" the machine on the optimal conditions to make the perfect cup. The T-DISCs determine temperature, pressure and time depending on the drink being made.

When compared to other single serve beverage machines, the breakthrough technology from TASSIMO incorporates real liquid milk to create the foam for the specialty drinks like espresso. The combination of smart technology, variety, convenience and quality brands like Twining, Gevalia, Maxwell House and Suchan...makes it a must have for the budding Gourmet.

The TASSIMO System can be used with most of your favorite cups and mugs due to the adjustable stand. What's even more impressive is drinks that once seemed so intimidating could now be made in 60 seconds with a push of a button. Clean-up was a breeze since all brewing occurs in the T-DISC. Just simply remove the DISC and wipe down the machine. Parts are also dishwasher safe

So, if you are like me and want to guarantee a perfect drink to accompany a great meal or dessert, TASSIMO might be your answer. Found in select retail stores like Target, Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, you may also go online to the company website for demonstration dates, product sales, pricing and other related information on this novel machine.

So, until next time....enjoy a perfect cup!
