The big gift I wanted for the holidays was the Tassimo single-cup beverage system, and I was fortunate to find it early on Black Friday. The sale price at Bed Bath and Beyond, the additional store 20% off, plus the Tassimo $50 rebate, meant I could splurge on the T65 Titanium version over the Suprema. Not because it's that much noticeably better, but just because the price was right. :-)
I had wanted a Tassimo for an entire year, ever since my friend Lauren received one for Christmas LAST year. What is a Tassimo? It's Kraft Foods' proprietary home brewing system manufactured by Bosch that allows you to make coffee, tea, hot chocolate, cappuccino, espresso, or lattes to your liking - one cup at a time (you insert what Tassimo calls a T Disc with a readable barcode specifying how to brew that particular drink into the machine ). Never having had our own coffee maker, I was so eager to try it for myself and share it with c2cDad that we decided to open it and begin using my Christmas present right away - a month early! He was just as impressed as I, and we've used it nearly everyday since. We use filtered water at our home, so we chose to forego using the included water filter in our Tassimo. My favorite drink is of course a Chai Tea Latte, and my hubby has been experimenting with cappuccinos and macchiatos. Here's a full list of the beverages available to purchase for the Tassimo system. Li'l Boo even likes the Tassimo with the Milka hot chocolate drinks - and he usually only likes hot chocolate made the old fashioned way on the stovetop!
You may imagine my surprise to receive a holiday gift of a Tassimo Suprema from the good folks on the Kraft Foods team at DKC Public Relations. As I already bought a Tassimo that I am happily using daily, what does this mean for you? Ah, YEAH! I'm giving this one away! Just leave me a comment below telling me what drink you'd most like to make with the Tassimo. I'll use Random.org to choose a winner on Friday January 8th at Noon EST. I'll ship the package to the winner via USPS to enjoy the following week. Only one comment per person, scroll down to the end to post a comment. Good luck!
What do I like best about my Tassimo?
- The speed and simplicity of making myself a coffee drink. Drinks are ready in about a minute, and there is often nothing to clean up, so I toss out the empty T Disc, grab my mug and go. I clean the machine about once a week, or whenever the clean message appears.
- The flexibility: you can make coffee drinks and adjust the amount of milk or creamer to your liking by holding down the button for more coffee or creamer at the end of the brew cycle. The other thing is that you can make a single 8-ounce drink, or fill a tall travel mug to go.

There will be a coin flipped to see which one of us first gets to prepare either Chai Tea or yummy hot cocoa.

I'm sure I would love the Maxwell House Caramel Latte Macchiato. Yum! Thanks for the chance to win.

Count me in!

Definitely tea or hot chocolate. Although I bet my husband has some fancy coffee drinks he'd like.

My husband is the only coffee drinker in the house, and only uses the coffee maker on the weekends. I would love to get rid of it and replace it with something that I could use too, for hot chocolate!

I'd love to have the ability to make Starbucks Lattes or Cappuccino Primos anytime with the touch of a button rather than stopping at my neighborhood Starbucks on my way to work! Thanks for hosting such an awesome giveaway!

I would love the hot chocolate. Maybe make some fancy mochas too.

I would love to make chai lattes at home! Anything to break my (expensive) Starbucks habit would be an enormous help to our budget.

We just experienced Tassimo for the first time over the holidays, my husband is a coffee lover, but I love chai as well! Would love to own one.
Posted by: DeniseEPL | January 03, 2010 at 07:40 AM
I would go with the hot chocolate in a heartbeat! :)
Posted by: morninglight mama | January 03, 2010 at 09:17 AM
Each person in the house would have a specialty: me a cappuccino, my husband a coffee, and the kids hot chocolate!

If I had myself a sweet Tassimo,
To Dunkin', Carabou, or Starbucks I'd never go.
My drink of choice would probably change by the day,
Hot chocolate, coffee, cappuccino--it's hard to say.
All I know is that my sister has a Tassimo of her very own,
And every time I see it, I want to cry, shout, and moan--
A great cup of java! For ME! Every day!
It's more than I could hope for--for a win like this I could only pray!

I am drooling. Just drooling. But the difficult decision remains... what to make first? hot chocolate? Chai? or a nice latte????
Posted by: Vanessa Druckman | January 03, 2010 at 11:33 PM
My instant pick was hot chocolate! But I know I´ll also be making the perfect macchiato for my husband!

I would love a single serve Tassimo coffee maker. Something warm right now would definitely hit the spot. Brr, it is cold in Kalamazoo.
Posted by: Becky | January 04, 2010 at 09:27 AM
Since I am the only person in my household that drinks coffee - it would be ideal to make a single serving and such wonderful choices too! Thanks for sharing and the chance to win!
Posted by: Linda | January 04, 2010 at 10:41 AM
This would be so great for my husband and me, because he's a tea-only guy and I looooove coffee. I'd make a cappuccino first. :)

I LIVE for my coffee in the morning and have been looking at the Tassimo! Please enter me! Thanks for a great giveaway!

What a great prize, I am coveting one of these and would love to try the Starbucks cappucino
Posted by: Nicole Pelton | January 06, 2010 at 02:51 PM
I can taste the coffee now, yummy
Posted by: Kelly | January 06, 2010 at 02:52 PM
We just got the Keurig single cup brewer. I love it. However, I would love to have the ability to make a late. Our just does, coffee, tea, hot chocolate. Maybe if I win we could put them side by side and have a dueling coffee maker competition? Hmmmmm.

I need to save on my coffee shop budget!
Posted by: Megan Flatt | January 06, 2010 at 11:09 PM
Oooohh! Great giveaway! I'd love to make hot cocoa with my Tassimo.
Posted by: Elizabeth | January 07, 2010 at 07:24 PM
I'd love to try & make some vanilla lattes with the Tassimo!
