The Tassimo TA 1400 hot beverage system is a one-cup system that works with exclusive Tassimo Discs (T- Discs), a truly unique system that makes a wide variety of hot beverages incredibly quick and easy. You wont find this technology anywhere else. Tassimo is not just another coffeemaker. Its a whole new way to prepare a variety of delicious hot drinks perfectly, in the comfort of your own home. And its so simple.With the Tassimo machine and the Tassimo Discs (T- Discs) you can make the hot drink you want, when you want it. No fuss. No bother. Its truly amazing. The same machine that makes a real espresso and freshly brewed filter coffee from some of your favorite U.S. and European brands also makes real milk-based lattes and cappuccinos, café crema, tea, hot chocolate--something for everyone. Unlike other single-serve brewers, Tassimo uses real liquid milk to create the dense foam or steamed milk for cappuccinos and lattes, eliminating the need for a complicated steam wand or frothing attachment. Each cup is freshly brewed to celebrate its true character and gives you the taste you love, every time.The T-Discs : The ingenious Tassimo Disc (T-Disc) is designed to work exclusively with the Tassimo machine. Each T-Disc contains a precisely measured amount of coffee, tea, chocolate, or concentrated milk and is sealed to protect the precious flavors inside. When you insert the T-Disc, the machine reads the bar code printed on the label. It automatically calculates the amount of water needed, brewing time, and temperature to prepare the perfect beverage.All the brewing appens inside the T-Disc using a unique inverse flow. Your beverage pours directly from the T-Disc into the cup so you can prepare different drinks one after the other. Providing a menu of delicious and favorite brands such as Gevalia coffees, Twinings teas, and Suchard hot chocolate, each T-Disc contains a precisely measured amount of coffee, tea, chocolate, or real liquid milk and is sealed to protect the flavors inside. Most of our T-Disc products come packed in 18-serving packages. Carte Noire Cafe Classique and Kenco packages contain 20 servings. Cappuccino and latte packages contain 10 servings (10 espresso and 10 milk T-Discs).The Art of the Perfect Cup: Tassimo lets you enjoy a cup of exactly what you want, right now.
