Why not just take it back for a replacement as you may have a faulty unit?

I'm glad about this as they stock more varieties than Asda & Saisburys.”


Just cleared the shelf of the last 6 packs of Costa Latte at our local Tesco while they're on deal 3 for £10

Offer ends 14/05 according to the small print.

99p stores are stocking Tassimo Carte Noir Iced Expresso.

Produces a strong hot strong cup of coffee, and if you pre-heat some milk in the microwave it also makes a lovely latte.

The packs have a short shelf life, July 2014, and many stores have sold out. But might be worth a look. I bought several packs of it.

I tried a Tassimo Caramel Latte today on my day off from work - was one of the most delicious drinks I think I've ever tasted.
Tescos had 3 packs for a tenner too....result!

Still not found the new Oreo in my local supermarkets .
Out of the big 3, Asda only sells a few varieties of coffee, Sainsburys only sell Costa Latte & Costa Americana, Tesco Extra which does sell more varieties than the other 2, but never seem to stock enough so the shelves are usually always bare by the time we are able to go shopping.
Nobody seems to stock Suchards anymore, but Tesco have replaced it with the god awfull Cadbury drink(much prefer the Milka one which is also not available anymore in the supermarkets)
The only option really seems to be to buy direct from Tassimo, but with £25 minimum spend it's a bit of a put off.

The Tassimo Shop are offering free delivery on a £25 shop until 28th May.

The Chai Lemongrass tea is on offer there too at the moment at £3.59, so I've found it easy to spend £25 this time Love that flavour!

I have given it a go, it is ok, but it don't taste much difference to the other chocolate drinks in the range. Lets just say i would not buy it again, it was only because I had a larger discount than normal that I thought I would have a go.

I got a Tassimo Vivy for my birthday and tried a Costa Latte and was disappointed with the taste. I ran the cleaning disc 4 times (it recommended 3) first.I've read now that you should shake the pods first so I'll try that but is there anything I'm doing wrong? I wondered if the little disc in the water tank (a descaler I think) should only be in the machine when it's being cleaned but there's nowhere to store it and the instructions don't mention it anywhere!!!

I'm getting one soon, so I'm interested to see what could cause that.

Plus any other hints and tips for us newbies would be appreciated.

I think it was down to the water. I ran another 2 cleaning cycles using filtered water from my Brita jug rather than tap water, and now have been using the filtered water instead of tap water and it's OK. I think it's probably just the first use!

Looking for recommendations now for other drinks to try. I have the Costa Latte and the Cadbury's Hot Choc.

I find it ok for a semi decent coffee that is quick. Sure it do not compare with a proper espresso machine, but for a quick coffee it is sure better than instant.

I am drinking a costa Americano at the moment, really nice, but then I prefer black coffee.

Best thing is to go to Tassimo online shop and maybe buy a mix.

Do they offer a mixture? Seems that you can only buy the standard packs - 16 discs is a lot if you realise you don't like the flavour.

I've seen on Amazon they have a 'selection box' but I'm dubious about those.

I should think they would be fine, but no cheaper as far as i can see than buying them in a box, but at least you can have a try of a few of them that way.
The one thing you have to check is for two part drinks, like Latte as they require a second disk for milk.

So check to make sure that all two part drinks have the right second disk.


i expect they get the stock from damaged boxes or something like that. I doubt they buy them from Kraft as i do nto think Kraft sells them in big bulk.

^Thanks.

I might give them a whirl eventually. Bought a Cadbury's hot chocolate today (they were out of Oreo), it was ok but a little weak. I guess its trial and error with the machine to get it how you like it.

advice for Cadburys Pods

I found there was lots of "Chocolate" left in the pod. What we did was run it under hot water, or leave it in a mug with hot water to warm up, then put it in the Tassimo. This resulted in all the syrup pretty much being used and a stronger taste. Didnt have this issue with the other choc pods

I've not seen much chocolate left in the Cadbury ones myself. I have however switched to using the milk first, then the chocolate. Seems to blend better that way.

I tend to just give the button a short press and the rest comes out.
