Bosch Tassimo Style TAS113E: what works and what doesn't?
What works well
- Great variety of drinks: Over 70 drinks from well-known brands, from espresso to milk drinks without a separate milk frother
- Automatic settings: INTELLIBREW scans the T-DISC barcode and adjusts quantity and temperature by itself
- One-touch operation: Favourite drink at the push of a button, no manual settings needed
- Space-saving: Compact dimensions fit into any kitchen, according to the manufacturer
- More sustainably built: Housing 35% recycled plastic, validated for 10 years of use according to Bosch, efficiency class A+
Points of criticism
- Own T-DISC system: Only Tassimo T-DISCs fit, no Nespresso or other capsules, so you are tied to the system with follow-on costs
- No true espresso pressure: The T-DISC brewing method is not comparable with a portafilter or 19-bar machine
- Milk only from an extra disc: Milk drinks need a separate milk T-DISC, which raises capsule use per cup
