Tassimo Reusable Pods Test and How to Use Them 

Instructions for the genuine pods say shake it first. Which would suggest the coffee should have room to move and be loose.

You can buy the proper shape stainless steel tamper for the refillable pods. The tamper presses down the coffee more evenly. Do no exceed the max fill line or the pod will burst as the coffee expands with hot water. There are also various sizes available. 60, 180, 200, 220ml barcoded lids.

1. The pods can be recycled Tassimo offer this service. 2. The barcode is the size not the pod (you can pickup other size lids no need to hold button for extra water) 3. I wouldn't rate any of the coffee in the pods as quality (people have low standards gotten to used to the likes of Starbucks) 4. Hot choc and teas are fine to use in these (milk as well) 5. You can get filters as well which do help with some drinks 6. You dont pack it to max for one cup of coffee. 7. Holding the button adds more water not more coffee that is as pointed out before controlled by barcode (this is why pg pods do the same)

I'd say tamping coffee down is better than not just remember to not overfill with coffee and think of coffees expansion when water gets in and mixes with coffee You don't want your coffee loose as water doesn't linger enough to produce a strong mug of coffee so you slow down the water by tamping coffee down

If you grind it finer and put less in, you will get a stronger coffee, stick the barcode from a 220ml from one of the old ones to get a full cup.

I have the same. I always wondered what the second barcode was for?? Only one way it can sit in the machine, but only gives about 5 oz of coffee! I guess you press the button to get more water.

I too love my reusable tassimo coffee pod, But I prefer to use paper filters, Not only does it make it easier to clean but personally I think it gives a better cup of coffee, Do not be conned into buying all the different size pods available I personally bought two, but they are both the same, The only thing that is different is the barcode on top, which you can just take off of one of your throwaway pods to get the volume that you require.

Oh thanks will have to try that again and shake it like you said 😊

Thanks very much.

My only issue is the amount programmed into the bar code. I use 12 oz Tassimo pods, and the larges I have found in reusables is 220 ml, 7.43 oz, so I generally run it through twice. My pod takes around 1 tablespoon, and the coffee is great.

You can lift out the pod holder and the spout to clean the machine easier

Thank you for Poland 🇵🇱. I just buy that for my Mum because of your movie 🎦. ❤

Got one of these 4 Christmas. Love it, just wondered can you put the coffee direct in the cup and would the taste be different. Thanks 4 video.

I bought one of these pods last week. I use the gold spoon that came with it to push the coffee down. I am still finding it tastes weaker than with a French press so I don't add any additional water to it afterwards. I have only used it a few times but I do think it would be better with the proper tamper that doesn't come with the kit. I over-filled it one day last week and the pod burst open and it made a big mess!

I've got the stainless steel version one thing I've noticed is the coffees always weak tasting now that could down to fine grind or other factors pressure temp etc

What coffee espresso do you use fir cappucino

I have just got one of these with the tamper. It works as you have demonstrated, and you cannot complain about that. However, a genuine Tassimo pod creates a creamy crema on top, which is very desirable, I wonder what needs to be done to get a crema?

The pods are recyclable the brand themselves provide bags and you fill the bags and take ‘em to somewhere local to you to recycle em

Mine worked great and started exploding I am beginning to think Max might be right about using the instant. I will try an expresso one and see if that solves it. Update if you have had any issues since please. Also once I got used to the different taste I prefer it now. It’s a bit like rocket fuel for me though as it seems so much stronger. The mess when it explodes is terrible

I have a question I brought 2 of these pods like you show in the video how dose it make the coffee as I notice the pods do not have a hole for the water to get in I tried to make a hot chocolate it was awful so I just put hot chocolate in the mug which defeats having the tassimo machine in the first place .I am talking about the reusable pods not the genuine ones that you buy for the tassimo to make your drinks with

Can you put milk powder in the pods or do you need to order a separate pod for that? I want to make lattes :)

I tried one of these using Kenco filter coffee. It tasted absolutely nothing like the Tassimo pods you get in the shops

Great video but not sure about the product

Do you need extra fine ground coffee for this? I just got one recently, tried it and there was water leaked from the pod. The thing was that, the lid seem to be not tight enough. (again: my ground coffee that I used, wasn't really fine.)

Hahaha it told you not to go over the center and you did cover it over 😂😂😂😂

Does anyone know how to properly clean the filter in the lid ?

I like mine just ashame we can get the froth 😊

Where is the crema? Hail nespresso. Btw, instead of start cleaning the way you did it, first ''make'' another cup without coffee in the pod. Then after that you can still clean the remaining coffee.

you dont have a crema. Either your coffee grind is wrong or you need to tap with higher pressure to achieve it

Can we use many times ? Or we have to buy another one ?

Does tamping improve brewing or just leave coffee loose when brewing

please sir where Can i find this, thanks

Try making the coffee without tamping, in the genuine pods you buy, the coffee is loose when you shake the pod.

Can you give me the link of the product?

13:50 😂😂

I can't find the link to the refillable t-disc and tamper, do you have a link for a place that ships to USA? Nevermind, I think I found it! About time! Especially now it's hard to get t-discs here. I will NEVER buy a Keurig, I'll splurge for one of those fancy machines that makes the whole gamut. Keurig makes watery coffee, even the "professional" ones in offices. You are absolutely right on the extraction of Tassimo,, far superior, but was poorly marketed. The Betamax vs VHS.

I find mine is producing weak coffee I’m using a fine grind

I thought this was about washing up pods

Like the video but not too impressed by the fill your own pod. Not one for us im afraid.

Hassle just to get hot water

Be nicer to the kid
