The Tassimo Brew Bot system has been out in the US for the past two years, and when it launched was made by Braun. Last year Tassimo decided they needed to update the system, and went with a new partner - Bosch. Even though we really liked the older Braun model, we're glad Bosch got the job. The new Bosch Tassimo is completely redesigned, and the design changes are far reaching. Gone is the annoying loud brewing, the spill back of water after brewing a cup, and the unit heats and brews much faster.
Two models of the TASSIMO hot beverage system by Bosch are now available in the U.S. For this review, we tested the TAS4511UC model with an MSRP of $139.99. The TAS4511UC Bosch Tassimo is now available in select specialty and department stores as well as online. There is also a $99.99 Bosch Tassimo that will be available in select grocery and mass merchandise stores. The main difference in the two models is the water reservoir filtration, and aesthetics.
Tassimo is now calling this system a "brewbot". What's a brew bot? The Brewbot (BROObot) is an advanced brewing machine programmed to make over seven different varieties of beverages. Brewbots can create coffees, lattes, cappuccinos, espressos, hot chocolates and coffee cremas all at the touch of a button. a.k.a. Roboticus Brewtus. The machines are the same as earlier Tassimo Bosch models above but being marketed as brewbots.
For those of you unfamiliar with the variety of hot beverages the Bosch Tassimo can make, the list is nothing short of amazing. The new Bosch Tassimio is completely compatible with all of your current T Discs as well. The system can deliver the following from over 40 varieties of hot beverages delivered in a T Disc format:
Coffee
Espresso
Lattes and Cappuccinos
Tea
Hot Chocolate
There are several large coffee companies that make T Discs that work in the Bosch Tassimo hot beverage system including Starbucks, Seattle's Best, Gevalia, Maxwell House, and others. We've reviewed just about all of the different coffee T Discs and found most of the blends to be excellent. For the pictures in this review we used the Starbucks House Blend T Discs.
The Tassimo system is also the only hot beverage system to feature liquid shelf stable milk in a single serve coffee format. The milk T Discs are filled with hyper-pasteurized milk, making the lattes and cappuccinos produced from the Tassimo very buttery, and delicious. The only other system that does a good job when using powdered milk is the Nescafe Dolce Gusto, of which we'll have a full review soon.
