Bosch TAS4511UC Tassimo Coffee Brewer
It's a no clean-up and no-fuss coffee machine that gets your coffee ready in 1 minute. The LED display is easy to see and understand. The unit measures 13-1/4 by 8 by 11 inches and comes with a 1 year parts and labor warranty. There is a brew strength setting but does not come with a warming plate because you use your personal coffee cup or mug to catch the dripping coffee.
Pros
The TAS4511UC Tassimo Coffee Brewer Is loved by many users who are on the go and need their caffeine fix in as short as a minute. Many say that they love the design which doesn't take up too much space on the kitchen counter. The unit is quite small and compact but looks very durable and sturdy.
What some users say they love about this machine is the way it quietly brews coffee. It's so silent, you won't even know it is working. Other brands of coffeemakers are very loud and annoying. It also has a unique filter system that lets you know when it is time to replace the filter.
A lot of coffee junkies who enjoy a variety of coffee mixes love the way it can make cappuccinos, lattes, macchiato, hot chocolate and tea aside from plain brewed coffee. It's a great tool to have around when you are entertaining guests. You can impress them with your own home-made latte, cappuccino or macchiato.
Cons
There are some people who say their Bosch TAS4511UC Tassimo Coffee Brewer lasted only a year or two, after the warranty expired. They say that with the money you pay for it, the coffeemaker should last longer than 2 years.
Another thing that bothers some users is that you need to use bottled water for the machine if your tap water at home is softened. Many find this inconvenient and impractical, aside from being expensive. If you are a heavy coffee drinker, you will end up spending a lot of money on bottled water for a whole year.
Generally, most users of the Tassimo say that it produces hot and delicious coffee in a minute flat. There is also no need to pre-heat the water like other coffeemakers. There's less mess on your kitchen counter because there won't be any splatters, drips, or leaks to clean up. Its best feature is its ability to make a variety of beverages, something other home coffee machines can't do.
Customer service is also known to be excellent. So if you run into trouble or a defect, Bosch will replace parts or the whole unit right away if it is still under warranty.
