Don't be dissappointed in your machine if this is the first T-disc flavor you've tried. It's not your Tassimo, it's the coffee blend. I used to subscribe to Gevalia's delivery service so I've tried a lot of their automatic drip coffees, incl Signature Blend. I'm very dissapointed in the Tassimo disc version. I gave it 2 stars just for smoothness, but otherwise this is a lackluster brew. Not much richness, body, or flavor other than generic "coffee". The "crema" is not much more than window dressing on a pretty boring cup. My husband, who is far less picky about coffee than I am, agreed. Do yourself a favor & try the other coffees available for the Tassimo, incl on their website. The Gevalia Espresso is good, so are the Maxwell House Latte & Capuccino.

This is my favorite Tassimo coffee disc. I got the Tassimo and was enjoying the cappucinos and the lattes, but when I started to notice all the holiday creamers available at the grocery store I had to try them. The Signature Creama works so well with these liquid creamers! I first put the cream in the cup and then add the disc to it. The result is a flavored coffee with a really light foam on top. Also, I have not seen Tassimo cream based beverages in a fat free variety yet, so this is a great alternative. I use fat-free half and half and the fat-free french vanilla. Very very good!

UPDATE: 6/30/08...18 months later, thousands of 'brews' later...and still just as thrilled as the day I met Gevalia Signature Crema Blend coffee! For summertime cooler...and much cheaper than the $5+ versions sold at Dunkin****** and Star***** try this: Brew Crema, add International Delight French Vanilla creamer, and pour over ice in tall glass. With single-brew systems, no waste & instant service! Now pocket your savings, add the gas money you didn't spend...and voila, you just paid for your next 16-count package w/ free shipping from Amazon. Enjoy.

FIRST POSTING: I have had my Tassimo machine for 5 months now, and I am thrilled. As a coffee nut, I used to brew several pots daily in my Farberware. Problem is I can only drink fresh coffee! I had to pitch the pot and start over for each cup. Tassimo is a true value if you and your household drink coffee, tea, hot cocoa, etc. all day and night. Tried all of the coffee blends (well over 20) made for this machine, and the Gevalia Crema and Crema decaf. are the best all around med-bodied coffee. I'm actually on Amazon to order more...and decided that I'd throw my 2 cents in! Enjoy.

We love this crema coffee. It has much more flavor than the regular coffee Gevalia makes for Tassimo. It has a nice cream froth on top - not too much. To make it extra special my husband adds a shot of espresso to it. Enjoy

When I purchased this item, I thought that I was going to get a coffee with cream, but that was not the case. The coffee itself was much stronger and bitter, and the "cream" or crema was just some powdered stuff that created a milky foam on top of the coffee, but did not change the color or flavor of the coffee at all. I would not purchase this item again.

I don't understand the negative reviews on the Crema Signature Coffee from Gevalia. I was very skeptical when I first tried this coffee. How could this one-step brewing process and small disc produce a decent cup of coffee? Needless to say I was surprised and extremely satisfied with this product. Gevalia Latte and Cappucino discs are surprisingly good as well!

Based on the reviews here, I had high hopes for this coffee. I realize it's a mild coffee, but it is really lacking taste and just seems very watery. I tried making a smaller cup, which did help a little, but I'm still disappointed. I won't be purchasing this one again. I wonder if this is typical of Gevalia t-discs, cause I was disappointed in the Gevalia Capp as well (the Maxwell House is WAY better).

I'm a huge fan of almost every variety of hot beverages the Tassimo makes... this is not one of them. If you make a full cup, it tastes very lackluster and watery. The head of foam is very thin and disappears very quickly. Both of these problems can be improved by making a smaller cup, but even so, it still doesn't hold a candle to other flavors.

If you want a GREAT cup of Tassimo crema, go for the Mastro Lorenzo Crema. HUGE improvement in taste, and the foam is nice and thick.

Tassimo makes lots of great drinks... but skip this one.

I'm giving this 2 stars because possibly this is just not to my liking for my taste buds.
I do not like my coffee with this kind of biting almost citric after taste. It simply gives me sour stomach and my stomach doesn't get that way easily.
I enjoy a strong cup of hearty bold flavor once in a while, but this is too biting for me. Adding sugar? No help. It also seems watery. I try to focus my t-disc investments into the flavors I love, and purge the losers. With a full box remaining I'm going to need to toss these. Also misleading picture on the cover, which gives the impression of a milk based mixture. Their "Crema" is simply whipped bitter "air".

This is an excellent cup of coffee. It is a mild coffee and if you're looking for a more robust blend this may not be for you. But all in all a superior cup of coffee.
