So while in Maui they had one of these Tassimo coffee makers in every room and I probably had more coffee during those 10 days then any time in my life. The reason, it was so easy to make. It takes these little discs that make a cup of coffee each. So you wake up, put in a disc and hit a button. In less than a minute you have a perfect cup of coffee ready for you. The best part...there is NO CLEAN UP. You just throw the disc out, and go on with your day.
So I find out the machine is only about $130 (depending on where you buy it) and there are tons of different discs (Starbucks, Seattle's Best, Maxwell House, etc.). It also makes tea and hot chocolate.
So I know this isn't the most expensive machine and maybe the others make coffee a bit better, who knows. All I know is that this is perfect for me. No hassle and it tastes great to me.
If you're in the market for a new machine, consider it. You'll be really happy.
