I was in Asda the other day, looking for T-Discs for my tassimo machine, I found them and saw to my amazement that 16 discs where only £1 instead of the usual £3.99 :D Since I had a voucher for £3.99 worth of T-discs, I got 64 discs for 1p :dance:

Are they REALLY good?

 

I had the kenco pod machine which was rubbish IMO - the coffee was not nice so I went back to my perc and carbooted the kenco machine.

 

The range of pods look good on the Tassimo but is the coffee as good as "proper" coffee?

In my opinion, yes, they are brilliant, can even get starbucks coffee discs too 8)

I'm not a fan at all. The flavour's fine, but there are SO many buts!

 

OH had one when I first met him.

 

I thought he was insane for spending out a small fortune on the machine, and then another small fortune on the pods for quite small cups of coffee which taste no better than good filter coffee.

 

But what really enrages me is the packaging. Most of a box of tassimo gubbins is packaging.

 

You have an unrecyclable pod and lid every time you make a drink which you can't easily pull apart to recycle the organic coffee matter inside. I think they are consumer, earth-wrecking excess at its worse.

 

We now have a bog standard multi-cup filter coffee maker which cuts the evil plastic packaging down to zero, and a fabulous bean dealer. Fast, flavourful coffee and not ruining the planet or costing us a fortune. :D

Not so,actually :)

 

You can go to Terracycle & they send you a box,free of charge to put the complete pods in,then you post it back,again free of charge,& they send you another.

The boxes are really strong,& have a special slot in the top just for the discs, they also come in many different sizes.

 

They then turn the pods into useful stuff 8)

 

It is a fantastic service :clap:

 

More info here : http://www.terracycle.co.uk/

 

And IMHO,the coffee tastes amazing,especially the kenco blend made into Cappucino :drool:

Is that a new scheme? I suppose it's an improvement, but it would be better to make something that could just be disposed of without extra road miles wouldn't it?

Its not really extra, since all sorts of post will be going in that direction anyway
