TASSIMO Joy

I bought this coffee machine and I didn’t realise that you can only use the coffee pods from the machine, well I’ve got the pods, it was easy to put it together, high quality, value for money, perfect size for me, the coffee stays hot , which is great, highly recommended

Second one I've bought. Great for coffee lovers just a pity the pods are expensive. Works quickly and very hot coffee....delicious.

OK, our faithful old Bosch Tassimo from around 2018 popped its clogs so, I had to replace it.That wasn't as easy as I'd have liked, as there are quite a few Models, many no longer the latest, or in stock, or being sold by Amazon as the Seller. So quite a few other Sellers selling off older Models.To try and save you this hassle, I am writing this to advise why I chose this Model, and then what my first impressions are.In a nutshell, it has a bigger 1.4 Litre Tank, which was the main decider, plus it's a current Model, and built with a combination of plastic and steel. There were less expensive units, but their Tanks were half the size, and the same as our old Tassimo.In the flesh it's slightly larger than our old Tassimo, which had failed as the Barcode Reader had contrived to get moisture inside of it, so was no longer able to reliably read Pod Barcodes.I have included a few images, showing both Old and New Tassimos, to show the size and Tank compartison.Main points to note are:Pod Mechanism requires a firm press to close, but test that without a Pod first, to see how it works. Basically, just make sure the Pod is properly aligned, and go for it.The area for cups narrows at the base, so large cups only fit when the drainer stand is fitted, so not a problem unless you have large tall cups.The BRITA Filter Unit is an insert into the main Tank, so a Tank within the main Tank, so this can all be removed. You do NOT need to use this. I took ours out.A BOSCH Blender Container fits perfectly with the Drainer Stand removed, so ideal if making Bulletproof Coffee with Butter (we went Carnivore a couple of years ago)!The Hot Water Pod is different to the older Model, as the Barcode Reader is at the front on the new Tassimo whereas it's on the side on the old one, so no need to keep the old Hot Water Pod, as it's no use.The Water Tank goes in and out better than on the old Tassimo, albeit it is at the rear, so you may need to consider that depending on where you will be using it. You will need easy access to the rear for example.Seems to make coffee as well as the older one so, I'm happy with that.The bigger Water Tank is definitely a huge improvement. So it looks like a good investment, and even better if you can buy it on a Deal Day.

Was fine for a few weeks then o pod exploded in the machine and shot coffee everywhere ended up having to send it back got a replacement in a few days I’m still having trouble it seems it’s the pods that at fault I use Kenco decaf and have had several burst or expand so much I have to wait several minutes to get the pod door open

Easy to use

Best model we have had. With water filter we think that the coffee tastes better. Could be my imagination but don,t think so

Nice coffee machine, durable and good value for money. A bit noisy but not much. The coffee tastes good, but don't try Kenco coffee!!!! tastes burned. Also, its size is compact and looks nice on my desk.

Hubby bought this for me for Xmas use it all the time
