I bought the Braun Tassimo TA1200 single serve coffee maker online at Amazon.com and really like it. One reason I decided to buy one of these coffee makers is to save money from my recent crush on Starbucks Cafe Mocha drinks. Since I work at home I save money on gas as well as the expensive drink that I was paying for every day. One quick shot of espresso in this Braun and I am ready to go. I’m not a huge coffee drinker so I don’t need to brew a large pot so this single cup is just right. It also brews tea, hot chocolate, cappuccino, espresso, or coffee.

I researched as many different single serve coffee makers as I could find and one thing that was common across all of the reviews and ratings I read was that the Tassimo was thought of as a very good machine at an affordable price. While the coffee is not as good as if you were grinding your own beans up ahead of time it still tastes good enough for me. Since I’m just brewing one cup per day I have experimented to get it just right. I have tried a variety of discs for the machine and found the Gevalia espresso one works good. The Maxwell House coffee disc is also quite good and very cheap.

Another thing I like is it will accommodate a travel sized mug by simply removing the drip cup. The TA1200 is quite easy to clean up as well as everything you need to clean is easily removed. You can either put it into the dishwasher or rinse it in water. And speaking of water you can easily increase or decrease the amount of water that the Tassimo will use, which affects the strength and taste of the coffee.

Overall I like the machine though if I was a serious coffee lover who drank multiple cups each day I might opt for the Keurig. For me though, I saved money and got a great coffeemaker for my tastes.
