Because using this coffee machine is extremely simple: you just need to press the button, wait a bit - and the cup will be filled with wonderful coffee, and the room with a wonderful invigorating aroma. In addition, you do not need to carefully measure a serving of coffee for each cup - Tassimo capsules already contain its ideal amount.
A few words about Tassimo
In America and Europe, this brand has been known and loved for a very long time. Braun introduced Tassimo to the French market back in 2004. The main idea of the advertising campaign was then declared to ensure maximum environmental protection during the preparation of coffee. Tassimo Intellibrew technology ensures that energy, water and coffee itself are not wasted. The idea of preserving the environment and energy conservation at that time became a real trend in America and Europe, and therefore the success of the advertising campaign in these countries was guaranteed.
Later, in 2008, a new generation of Tassimo coffee machines in the USA was launched by Bosch. They came to Russia and the CIS countries only in 2011, but quickly gained immense popularity, which they still do not lose.
What are T-disks?
T-discs are special capsules for the Tassimo coffee machine. They got this name because of the specific form. Other manufacturers produce more convex capsules for their devices, so most often capsules intended for one coffee machine do not fit another.
In Russia, Tassimo T-disks are manufactured by Kraft Foods. Jacobs Monarch capsules are most commonly found on store shelves, but other options are also available: Carte Noire, Morning Café, Milka hot chocolate, and even Twinings tea. The only negative of this option is that you have to wait for the delivery of coffee capsules to your home.
How do T-disks work and why is Tassimo an intelligent system?
The principle of operation of the Tassimo coffee machine is interesting . The T-disk is equipped with a special barcode, for each type of drink - its own. In the process, the coffee machine reads information from the bar code and determines what kind of drink it is, its recipe, and how to prepare it.
That is why Tassimo is considered the world's first intelligent coffee brewing system. The principle of its work is simple in itself, but at the same time it simplifies the life of a person who is in love with a drink of vitality many times over. But experiments with tastes are possible, however, we will talk about this below.

Reusable capsules for Tassimo coffee machine
Especially for those coffee lovers who are used to counting their money, reusable capsules for coffee machines were invented. There are such empty discs for Tassimo, but you can buy them only at foreign online auctions.
Reusable capsules are made from food-grade plastic that is odorless and easy to clean. You can use these discs up to 50 times. Ground coffee is simply poured into the capsule, and then the brewing algorithm is no different from the process of working with ordinary T-disks: in the same way, the capsule is placed in the coffee machine and after pressing the button the machine dispenses wonderful coffee. Quick and easy.

In such capsules, in addition, you can brew tea and even medicinal preparations.
