Single Serve Coffee Makers: Tassimo Bosch 4011GB

Bosch Tassimo

Bosch Tassimo 4011 is more compact and has a better build quality than older Tassimo models. It has a large 2 litre water container, sturdy and easy to refill as well as easily removed for cleaning. Bosch Tassimo is specially designed for use with T-discs. Please visit our T-disc review page if you want to know more about the T-disc and its variants.

Using the Bosch Tassimo is very time-saving, drinks are made almost immediately since the machine does not require a warm up time cutting down close to a minute of your preparation time. You can even put in cold water and it will take a minute or less to make regular coffee. Another great thing is preparing the second drink without delay or a waiting period in between drinks. Not only is it very time saving but the quality of the drinks are not compromised, thanks to the delicious blend in every T-disc that the Bosch Tassimo optimally brews. Each cup comes out tasting perfect.

The process is basically the same as any T-disc specialized single serve coffee makers; very simple and blunder proof. You just have to pop in the T-disc of your choice, press the start/stop button and in under a minute, you get a hot, creamy, expertly made drink.

Single Serve Coffee Makers: Bosch Tassimo TAS4011 – Benefits:

Bosch Tassimo is very durable, especially if you consider how much it costs. For less than a hundred dollars, you have a great functioning unit that can last you for years with proper care even with daily use. This “instant coffee maker” retails for less than $100 and should therefore not be compared with those extremely high end coffee machines costing more than half a thousand dollars. If you compare the Bosch Tassimo to other pod using coffee makers in its price range, with its build quality, ease of use and low maintenance, it is truly a bargain.
For those who are perfectly satisfied with the standard amount of coffee that a T-disc produces (about 6 to 8 oz depending on the variant), they will find that it is a huge convenience that the machine and the barcode does everything for them. Once the Bosch Tassimo reads the barcode, it immediately knows how long to brew, how much water to add and so forth. One can just insert the pod, press stop/start, walk away and come back to an expertly made drink without having to do anything.
Another thing to love about the Bosch Tassimo is its size. Despite its compact footprint, the Bosch Tassimo can take larger cups. It saves you space but doesn’t compromise your convenience. In addition, the unit looks really attractive.
The Bosch Tassimo is a great single serve coffee maker that gives you great value for your money. Quick and easy and produces excellent quality drinks.

Single Serve Coffee Makers – Some Things To Consider:

The biggest concern for heavy drinkers is the amount of drink each pod can produce, as heavy drinkers find the portions too small. Coffee is usually 300ml; a latte or cappuccino is around 200ml while hot chocolate is only 180 ml. Those who want a bigger serving albeit a weaker taste will find it a small gripe that there is no automatic setting that allows you to set your coffee size. You have to wait after it has finished brewing and press that stop/start button within the allotted time for you to add water to your cup.

In terms of cost of the pods, the opinions are quite mixed. It is indeed more expensive as compared to buying coffee beans or grinds but it is significantly cheaper than buying coffeehouse brews. The time and effort single serve coffee makers save can ultimately make up for that extra value using pods can cost you. And of course, there is the issue of the waste that the pods produce filling up landfills. But if you only drink 1 or two cups a day, it is less wasteful as compared to brewing a full pot of coffee and not being able to consume the whole thing.

There are few who reported that the pods can get baking hot after brewing, making it a task to remove it from the chamber; this can delay you if you are making several cups of coffee or if you are making a latte or hot chocolate(which requires two pods).

Another thing to consider with the Bosch Tassimo TAS4011GBis the maintenance that it requires. It’s not too much but it does require a bit of regular washing, especially the piercing nozzle. If you made milk based drinks or hot chocolate, you really need to wash it right after, or else it gets sticky or clogged. But even so, removing the nozzle is easy so it’s not really much of an effort.
