 Braun Tassimo TA1200 - defective June 27, 2008

Received this product from you and it was defective.
Called Tassimo and they did trouble shooting with me and
said it was defective. It wouldn't work. Had to return it.
Disappointed.
So far I like it June 21, 2008

I did a lot of research on the machines & discs/pods, & read most of the reviews, good & bad, on the Braun Tassimo, Keurig & Senseo machines, plus a few cheap ones. The only thing that held me off was the few bad reviews/complaints. But I finally ended up getting this Tassimo, even though it was more expensive, for the reason that it does everything. The other machines I looked at mainly do only coffee or coffee & tea, while this unit does coffee, latte, cappuccino, tea & hot chocolate. I didn't get it to make coffee, I got it to make everything with a single system.
There is little to no clean up (rinsing the pierce unit after a milk disc & emptying the drip cup takes only seconds), no pot to clean, no grounds, no pouring water into the unit (& all over the counter) because the clear water container snaps off for rinsing/filling, & there are 3 stores in my area (& I live in a very small town) that carry the discs plus I also ordered some from CoffeeForLess, which arrived quickly. The sound doesn't bother me either, as others have mentioned, because it lasts only a few moments, & I was already used to the coffee machine at work which grinds the beans (& sounds like an airplane taking off). I like being able to drink something different every day & have recommended this unit to friends.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the price (more than the others) & the size (just wish it was a little smaller).
One final note - I mentioned this machine to the Doctors where I work & they immediately decided to get one for our lounge & also considering it for the lobby out front for the patients to use to have a variety of drinks available.
Terrible Quality - Wait For New Bosch-Designed Machines June 9, 2008

Had the machine for almost one month when it died. Called Tassimo USA and they sent a shipping box and label (about three weeks later) for me to return coffee maker for repair. (Repair is done by a third-party in San Francisco.) Sent machine. Month later got the same machine returned to me, "repaired". Used it for two weeks when it died again. Same problem as before. Called Tassimo and they said same thing: We'll send you a shipping box and label to send it in for repair. Nope. Time to trash this machine and wait for the new Bosch-designed Tassimo machines to be available in September. These machines from Braun are just trash. Don't waste your month; wait for the new machines from Bosch.
This product does not work at higher elevations!! June 5, 2008

I was enthusiastic to buy this product, but it was not clear to me until I had ordered, received, unpacked, and started to use it that the machine is restricted to operation under 6200 ft. elevation. This is not a problem for most consumers, but I live at 7800 ft. I wished that Amazon had made this limitation clear in the advertisement of this product. The good news is that returning the product to Amazon was relatively painless -- facilitated by the easy-to-use online ("don't need to talk with anyone") customer support. Not so with the espresso I ordered along with it. Amazon classifies this as groceries and will not accept it back. Since it is packaged in unique pods made specially for this machine, it is my loss.
 Bravissimo, Tassimo! June 4, 2008
