TASSIMO Bosch My Way 2 TAS6502GB Coffee Machine, 1500 Watt, 1.3 Litre - Black

Product Information

L’Or: Founded in France in 1992, L'OR always had the ambition to offer the best coffee in the world.

Costa: Founded in 1971 by the Costa brothers in London, it has become one of the country’s favourite coffee shop. While the My Way 2 is as far as Tassimo goes in terms of luxuries, Nespresso has quite a high ceiling to its range, with models such as the Lattisima One adding premium features such as fully automatic milk frothing, and the top-end Creatista Pro throwing in a stainless steel body, extra presets and a colour touchscreen. While the Vivy 2 neither stands out for better or worse, the Way 2’s built-in Brita filter should allow you to go longer without having to descale it. If you want to stray outside the brand’s own classic range, there’s also a healthy selection of third-party options available from well-known brands such as Dualit and Lavazza, as well as smaller independent roasters. Once again, if you’re plumping for anything in the Vertuo range, you should note that there aren’t many third-party Vertuo options currently available.One note is that this is the same scheme that runs with Nespresso machines, so if you think you'll get a more eco-friendly initiative elsewhere, it's pretty much the same no matter what Tassimo or Nespresso machine you opt for. For a machine that doesn't run on pods, take a look at our roundup of the best coffee machines. Cleaning the Bosch Tassimo My Way 2 When you are finally done with your research and you have already learned that Bosch is one of the top manufacturing companies there is, you will also realise that it can produce a high-quality product that may endure the test of time.

While Tassimo’s T-disc pods are all proprietary, with many from the parent company Douwe Egberts’ (owner of Kenco and L’Or) range, there are also some from the likes of Costa, Baileys and Cadbury. Design and Features – Allows customisation within certain limits At the front, there’s a drip tray that adjusts into four positions depending on the size of your cup, a pad of touch-sensitive buttons to toggle presets for coffee strength, temperature and amount of water, as well as to save your four favourite settings. Once set up, the controls are easy enough for mature kids to use. The top of the machine lifts up so you can insert a T Disc – Tassimo’s version of a coffee pod – and once it’s finished brewing, the disc needs to be removed. If you are new in the market of Bosch Tassimo coffee machines, there are top-rated Tassimo products that you must consider owning. These are some with exceptionally worthy value: A CALC symbol will light up when it’s time to descale your machine. The Brita water filter and its holder will need to be removed from the water tank. To rinse out the machine, the orange cleaning disc should be used – it’s stored in the handy little alcove on the left side of the machine. READ NEXT: The best coffee machines you can buy Tassimo by Bosch My Way 2 review: Should you buy it?This Tassimo capsule coffee machine works along with the Tassimo T Discs coffee pods. These are available from most good supermarkets. The unit has a compact design and will fit neatly on a kitchen countertop. The main features of the My Way TAS600 are as follows: Nevertheless, My Way 2 – as it says in the name – allows for some modifications, such as making your drink slightly shorter. Extracting from same espresso pods gave me about 75ml on the small, 85ml on the medium and 95ml on the large cup setting. (You can’t go rogue and extract a full americano out of an espresso pod meant for a latte. It’s likely Tassimo knows best here and it wouldn’t be a nice result anyway.) Bosch Tassimo My Way 2 coffee quality – Coffee tastes good, but sweetened milk is mostly a let-down Large water tanks are also one of the features of the high-end models as well as comes with water filters that fits into its tank.

A light also comes on when it's time to refill the machine, which happened about once a day in a house of frequent coffee drinkers. I suspect that this is because the filter takes up a lot of space in the tank itself, so while the capacity may be 1.3 litres, the actual capacity is more like one litre. To use the four preset buttons you simply select your custom temperature, volume and strength preferences and press down on one of the four numbers for about five seconds to memorise it. From this point you can simply press your preset button to automatically run at that custom preference, which is great for regular coffee drinkers. Is the coffee good? The system utilizes pods called T-Discs which are expertly designed to fit any Tassimo machine, so all you need to do is to pop one in and press the button. A bar code on top of each T-Disc instructs the machine to use the proper brewing settings. It will then change the water temperature, the amount of water, and the brew time and strength. This allows the Tassimo pod maker to brew a variety of hot drinks: filtered style coffee, cappuccino, short espresso, tea, and hot chocolate. The brewing process takes between 30–60 seconds. Discs containing milk use UHT milk, not powdered milk.

The steam is released for cleaning the machine after each extraction. When finding a place for it in your home, best treat it akin to a kettle and keep it away from anything that could be impacted by steam over time.Cadbury: Today, Cadbury hot chocolate is fairtrade certified which ensures fair wages for our suppliers of cocoa. Once you are finally decided to own a Bosch Tassimo, here are some of the tips and advices that may help you: All the machines use a flow heater brewing system. While this heats up faster than bean-to-cup and pod coffee machines, it’s worth bearing in mind that it won’t produce the same kind of barista-style espresso, which comes from using 15-19 bar pressure. Instead, the flow heater has a pressure of around 3.3 bar. What’s the drinks range like? The TAS5542 Coffee Machine is a replacement for many components of the affordable models of this coffee maker. However, this is an upgraded version which is responsible for the sturdier, and superior quality of this Tassimo unit.
