5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Good, November 27, 2009

This review is from: Maxwell House Café Collection Cappuccino T-Discs for Tassimo Systems - 40 ct. Case Package (Kitchen)

Being a coffee snob, I initially laughed at the idea of buying Maxwell House for my Tassimo but after reading some positive reviews I decided to give the MH Cappuccino a try. I was shocked to discover that I prefer it handsdown over the Gevalia cappuccino, and it is a lot cheaper. For $0.79 a drink I can have a satisfying cappuccino that feels like I am indulging. It has an adequate amount of foam on top, and a nice creamy smooth beverage underneath. Would it beat a coffee house cappuccino in a taste test? Probably not, but until coffee houses start selling $0.79 cappuccinos I will happily drink this version. My husband who hates strong coffee (and "fancy" coffee) thought it was great as well. A real winner in our house!

3.0 out of 5 stars Almost, but not quite, September 16, 2009

After reading reviews very carefully, I started with Maxwell House
Cappuccino and Latte on my new machine. I watched in amazement while Tasimo brewed them.

After seeing my cup getting topped with a frothy creamer layer, my expectations from cappuccino grew. I expected that frothy texture to permeate the whole cup. No, it had not. After a few sips frothy layer was gone, the taste and texture of my cappuccino was the very same as the taste of Maxwell House latte, only a bit stronger, until I discovered how to make it less strong.

Is it as good as a cup of cappuccino I order from my local coffee shops? No it is not. It will be a whole lot more economical after some 40th cup, considering the initial investment.

Whenever I get my lattes from a coffee shop, I always ask for extra foam. Maxwell house latte formulae was nothing but espresso with 2% heated milk added. No foamy texture. Tasty? Yes.. Comparable in experience to real lattes? No.

In short taste-wise they came close to what I am used to drinking at my favorite coffee-shops. Texture-wise they disappointed me.

Now that I have my Tasimo for the first day and have been playing with my MW t-discs. One thing I noticed disappointed me deeply. The amount of unrecyclable plastic waste products these single cup coffee makers seem to generate. How come these single discs/cups are not made up of recycleable plastic material? This was an important concern for me causing me to reduce the overall rating of MW t-discs.

I really didn't expect much from this product. I am a daily drinker of cappucccinos and was not impressed with the Gevalia. I half-heartedly purchased this as a last ditch effort and was completely taken by surprise! I really didn't think Maxwell House could pull this off-but they did. Smooth and rich and really does remind me of my schooling in Rome! I also tried the French Vanilla by Maxwell House which was good-but the cappuccino was really amazing!
