Good Cappuccino!, October 8, 2005
This review is from: Gevalia Cappuccino, T-Discs for Tassimo Coffeemakers, Box of 10 (Grocery)
I am a lover of espresso and cappuccino and the Tassimo machine's T-Discs fit the bill. The convenience comes at a cost, however. Each cup of cappuccino costs around a dollar. The cost of a shot of T-Disc espresso or regular coffee is about 50 cents. This is comparable to other, less sophisticated, "pod" machines. I love my Tassimo for its versatility. The coffees and teas come out perfectly every time. I haven't had a chance to try the hot chocolate but I'm confidant it won't disappoint.

Easy to make and easy to enjoy, November 9, 2005
This review is from: Gevalia Cappuccino, T-Discs for Tassimo Coffeemakers, Box of 10 (Grocery)
The Tassimo Cappuccino T-Discs make a wonderful treat. In less than 3 minutes you have a very good cappuccino that satisfies and the price is better than going to Starbucks, Coffe Bean or other chains. The machine takes the guesswork out of making it and the discs are pre-measured and very easy to use, cleanup is a snap with a paer towel!

Very enjoyable, and extremely convenient!, January 10, 2006
This review is from: Gevalia Cappuccino, T-Discs for Tassimo Coffeemakers, Box of 10 (Grocery)
I chose the Tassimo machine in large part because of the promise of being able to make espresso, cappuccino, and regular coffee in one machine, with minimal effort, minimal cleaning, and individually sealed portions. In my household, we do not drink a great deal of coffee, but do enjoy the occasional espresso, cappuccino, or latte, and wanted to be able to offer coffee to our guests. While all of the beverages I have tried in the Tassimo have been tasty, the Cappuccino T-Disc really stands out as something special.
The flavor and aroma are quite nice, and the foam layer has a surprisingly authentic consistency. It's not as good as a cappuccino you might buy in a coffeehouse or make at home with an espresso machine, but it's a very enjoyable beverage -- 4 stars. I've given the T-Disc 5 stars because of the convenience of the Tassimo system.
The cost, approximately $1 per drink, is certainly higher than the cost of beans and milk used with a traditional espresso machine to prepare a cappuccino. However, that assumes you make espresso, cappuccino, and/or latte at home frequently enough for the investment in a dedicated espresso machine to be worthwhile, that you use your supply of beans or ground coffee before they go stale, and that you desire to spend the additional time involved in preparing cappuccino the traditional way. For the more occasional cappuccino drinker, the cost per drink may well be lower with the Tassimo.
