Do you have questions about TASSIMO? How your machine works or do you need more information about your order? The answers to these and more can be found in our Frequently Asked Questions.
Can I reuse the T DISCs?
Each T DISC is designed to prepare a perfect cup, and cannot be reused. The T DISC should be removed from the machine after brewing and discarded.
Check our sustanibilty link for more information about recycling.
Is the T DISCs packaging recyclable?
The T DISCs packaging meets the requirements of the EU Packaging Waste Directive.
The outer bag is composed of an aluminium, polyester and polyethylene laminate and is suitable for energy recovery through incineration. In locations where plastic collection systems exist, it can be deposited with general plastics (non PET).
The convenient dispenser carton is composed of paperboard and is recyclable.
Check our sustanibilty link for more information about recycling.
What if I want my drink stronger or weaker?
The TASSIMO machine's manual mode lets you customise your drink.
For a milder tasting drink, press and hold the button when the manual LED lights green to extend the brewing process. Stop when the drink reaches its desired size and strength.
For a stronger tasting drink, stop the brewing process early by pressing the button while the drink is being made. This will result in a shorter drink.
Please refer to the user manual for full instructions.
How can milk T DISCs have such a long shelf-life and still taste good?
TASSIMO expertise in milk and dairy products was leveraged to develop a patented Ultra Filtration Formula (UF) for milk. This UF Formula allows real milk to be concentrated and stabilised for ambient storage while maintaining a real similarity to fresh milk (look, taste and foaming properties).
The TASSIMO Milk in our T DISCs has none of the yellowish colour or cooked flavours of UHT milk or different flavours from powder milk. This milk product is unique to TASSIMO and no other On Demand system can offer this superior milk delivery from a capsule or pod.
How does the T DISCs work?
Each patented T DISCs is a brewing chamber, enabling a customised preparation process across a potentially endless variety of coffee and beverage types.
Several different types of T DISCs have been developed to deliver the perfect coffee, espresso & café crema, frothed milk, hot chocolate and tea.
You can find more information about our T DISCs technology in here
Can I use other coffee pods/capsules in the TASSIMO Machine?
This is not possible, the TASSIMO brewer is only designed to work with TASSIMO Discs (T DISCs).
T DISCs are an integral part of the TASSIMO system. These patented and specially designed single servings have a unique shape that fits in the brewer, guiding the flow of water to prepare the beverage.
Each beverage is prepared according to the bar code on the T DISCs label which tells the brewer the size of the beverage, the brewing time and the optimum temperature required to prepare the perfect cup. Because the brewing happens inside the T DISCs, only a small part of the brewer is in contact with the beverage. Liquid flows from the T DISCs to the cup, allowing consumers to produce different beverages, one after the other, without impacting on the beverage taste quality.
What is the shelf-life of the T DISCs?
To ensure an optimal storage for all our T DISCs on the online shop, we carefully plan our stock from our warehouse to delivery. Our commitment to our customers is to always guarantee a minimum life of 40 days upon delivery to your home.
Please refer to the information on the external foil T DISCs packaging for a best before date. T DISCs are best enjoyed within 6 weeks of opening.
Will T DISCs work with any model of TASSIMO Machine?
Yes, the same T DISCs will work in both Bosch and Braun machines (with the exception of the packs* which contain the larger milk disc, these are not compatible with Braun machines with the Kenco logo).
*the packs concerned are: JACOBS Latte Macchiato less sweet, COSTA Latte and TWININGS Chai Latte.
Can I prepare different drinks consecutively with the TASSIMO Machine?
Yes. Once you have made a drink you are able to select a different drink variety straight away.
During the brew cycle of each T DISC the drink stream (flow) does not touch any parts of the brewer once leaving the T DISC so there is no taste contamination T DISC to T DISC (drink to drink).
Also, the individual brew cycle of each T DISC is programmed to complete the cycle with either a gust of air (Braun machine) or with steam (Bosch) at the end of each drink to remove residue between drinks.

How does TASSIMO deliver great milk beverages without a steam wand?
The patented Milk T DISCs combines Ultra Filtration Formula (UF) milk with the right quantity of hot water to deliver perfect layers of milk and milk froth for each individual beverage. The liquid passes through the T DISCs at such high velocity that it combines with air to create a foam in a similar way to a steam wand.
Is ground coffee contained in the T DISCs?
Yes. Every coffee T DISCs contains an expertly measured portion of ground coffee.
Each of these specially designed T DISCs has a unique bar code which the TASSIMO machine reads. The code specifies the size, the brewing time and the optimum temperature required to make the perfect cup.
Check our technology page for more information about the process.
How do I store my T DISCs?
For best results store T DISCs in a cool, dry, place away from direct heat and sunlight as indicated on the package. There is no need to keep them in the fridge.
Check our T DISCs holders in here.
What does T DISCs mean?
T DISCs is the abbreviation for TASSIMO Disc. The patented T DISCs are designed to work exclusively with the TASSIMO brewer. The two together make up the TASSIMO hot beverage system.
You can find more information about our systems in here.
What does the red indicator light mean when it is blinking?
On Bosch machines, the indicator light flashes red when the water tank needs to be refilled, because the water level is too low to make a drink, or when the tank is not in place. Always refill the tank with clean, fresh, non-carbonated water, and never use chemically softened water. Detailed instructions can be found in the Manual or Quick Start Guide.
Note: on the older-generation Braun machine, all the indicator lights flash when the water tank is empty.
How and when should I descale my machine?
All coffee machines are susceptible to limescale build-up. The machine will let you know when it needs a descale by illuminating the red descale indicator light. The automatic descale cycle can be activated using the Service disc.
Detailed instructions can be found in the User Manual dowload.
You can find our descaling tablets in here.
Where can I buy a new cleaning disc?
How does the Bosch machine heat up instantly?

You can find more information by checking our information.
How do I remove the piercer?
The piercer can be removed by firstly lifting the lid of the machine and then firmly pressing upwards from the bottom of the piercer. If cleaning has not been performed in a while, it may be difficult to remove.
The piercer disassembles into three parts for easy cleaning either manually or in the dishwasher.

How does the TASSIMO machine prepare so many different drinks?
The TASSIMO machine works with T DISCs to ensure perfect quality drinks. Each T DISC contains an expertly measured portion of ground coffee, hot chocolate, tea or concentrated milk. When the T DISC is inserted, the TASSIMO machine reads the unique bar code printed on the label. The code specifies the size, the brewing time and the optimum temperature required to make the perfect drink. Brewing occurs inside the T DISC and flows directly from the T DISC into the cup. You can prepare different drinks, one after the other, each of perfect quality.
How do I use the machine? Do I turn it on before I put the discs in or after?
It is important to turn the machine on first, before putting the discs in.
You can review your machine's manual in this section.
How do you know when the water tank is empty?
When the water tank reaches a level where there is not enough water to brew a beverage, either the red indicator light on the front panel flashes (Bosch machine) or all lights will flash at once (Braun machine).
Is the TASSIMO machine easy to use?
TASSIMO is easy to use. Once the tank is filled with water, simply select your cup*, insert your choice of T DISC into the machine, and press the button!
You can have more information about our systems in here.
Where can I get descaling products?
You can buy the recommended Bosch descaling tablets direct from Bosch on 01450 2655 or if placing an order for T DISCs can buy the recommended descaling products from us.

Is the heating technology of the Bosch machine energy efficient?
The patented Bosch flow-heat technology heats water on demand and switches off immediately after each preparation cycle. It is thus very energy-efficient. There is no continual use of energy by the flow-heater unlike other heat systems.
