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

Coffee comes out really hot and you can regulate the size and strength. We like a full 300 ml cup for breakfast and you get this. There are three settings for heat, tepid, moderate or hot. Even the moderate is nicely hot and the hot is hot. Love the design, and the way you can set your favourites. A great machine.

Use it regularly, makes for me a good coffee & hot chocolate,easy to clean and descale, get one !

I have owned a Tassimo Joy for around 5 years, I tend to buy L’Or espresso capsules as they have a bold flavour and have varying strengths, but for the days I need an extra kick I may only have mid-level capsules, so I would have a double. Step in the Tassimo My Way, an incredibly easy machine to use, now I get to have not only a stronger coffee, but I can choose a shorter or longer coffee too, all from the same pod. I currently only have L’Or Delizioso, but it turns out a lovely strong coffee. As for other drinks, my wife has Caramel Latte Macchiato, the biggest benefit she finds in this machine is the ability to change the temperature of her drink, if she is taking one to work she will have it hotter, if she is drinking one in the house she will have it slightly cooler. You will get a coffee exactly as you want it, the only downside is there are so many variables when it comes to 2 capsule drinks it may take a few tries, but they all come out amazingly, so it’s no chore. As for ease of use, my 3 year old can use it, I also have my 67 year old, very useless with tech father here for lockdown, even he has found it easy, you just touch what you want to change, for example if you want a stronger coffee press 3 beans, want it shorter press the small coffee. Then when you’ve got your perfect cup just hold a number and it’s saved for you. I cannot comment on cleaning yet as I’ve not needed to, a standard clean is simply using the orange disc, but the biggest clean you’ll ever need with one of these machines is if you pierce the disc incorrectly (usually by not paying attention and using a lot of force) this happened twice with my old machine, coffee and grounds get everywhere inside the disc holder, the Joy was a nightmare, you couldn’t get into the nooks and crannies, whereas this machine seems to open wider, with easier access to the barcode reader. Setup is very easy, you’ll be getting amazing Brita Filtered coffees in minutes, the large capacity tank means you’ll have to fill less than others, the one issue I found with the Joy is that the tank had to be tilted back, then pulled out, so if it were close to a wall you’d have to move the machine just to fill the tank, the My Way has a lift off tank which is idiot-proof. Also loading the tank back in feels far less worrying than the joy, the lid is on the tank itself, whereas the Joy used the machine itself to cover the tank, so when it’s brimmed I would often spill a little when tilting it back in.

This is a fine, simple to use machine which has (so far) proved reliable and uses readily available consumables. The only issue i have with it is the size of the water reservoir - although the biggest in their range, at a supposed 1.3 litres (but the water filter take up a chunk of that) if you have "long"/large cups of coffee, you are needing to refill it with a slightly annoying frequency. They used to do one with a 1.7 litre tank - much better, so why not offer that now?

Excellent machine, five stars excellent value for money we are obsessed with the Costa coffee taste and two good vouchers to spend on pods and an extra voucher when you register perfect for two people offering cafe style drinks at home for a lower price per cup

Bought to replace an older Tassimo machine, this is a much improved model. We were obviously already familiar with the Tassimo system and this machine brings the same convenience but offering a number of refinements. They have added a Britta water filter in the tank which improves the taste of drinks and helps guard against limescale build up, this is particularly useful to us as we live in a hard water area. One such filter comes with the device and will last you approx 2 months. Obviously this does result in an additional consumable to purchase, but the costs are reasonably low when bought in bulk. A small LCD display on the tank helps you keep track of when it is time to change filters. The other main upgrade is the ability to tailor your chosen drink to your taste. A simple touch screen interface allows you to select tall, medium and long drinks, whilst also giving an option to make the drink weaker or stronger. The machine defaults on the medium settings for each pod and you have the option of setting four presets if you find a combo you like. As usual with Tassimo, a great range of drinks are available, with bulk buy options giving the best value. We have a subscription via Amazon which helps us save further for our favourite pods (carte D’orr caramel macchiato). Other than that we have noticed that the device is quieter than our previous device and perhaps marginally quicker to make drinks. So long as you follow the recommended cleaning and descaling processes we have found Tassimo machines to last well. Our previous one had been in service since well before the pandemic and was still working when we chose to upgrade. The look of the appliance is sleek and the colour goes well in most modern kitchens.

La cafetière fonctionne très bien fait du bon café le chocolat et très bon aussi seul problème la prise est anglaise donc j'ai était obligé d'acheter un adaptateur français
