Great improvements
Don't get me wrong,I loved my older Braun. I was always a little frustrated, though, about having to lift off the water tank cover to refill the water tank. The Bosch has many refinements over the Braun, the most rewarding to me is the fill hole they put in the water tank cover. Just fill the tank up while the cover is still in place. Another great improvement is not having to sit and wait for the water to heat up after insertions of a new t-disk. Hit the button almost immediately after inserting the new disk. Finally, you can lift out the cup stand and insert a tall latte cup without having the overfill outlet pushing water everywhere. If you are a Tassimo fan, you will love the new machine.

Bosch Tassimo is a new twist on a great idea
When my Braun Tassimo unit died after two years I knew I had to replace it because I really like the convenience and flavor Tassimo serves AND I had quite a few discs left to brew. The Bosch takes the product to a new level. While many of the features are the same, the differences show a good product evolution. It is smaller, much quieter and easier to clean. The water filter life indicator is a nice touch.
I was happy with the Braun unit but like this Bosch even more.

Bad coffee, expensive discs and too much consumer waste
My husband and I loved our little Melita Pod Coffee maker. We could get a fresh brewed cup of coffee at anytime regardless of our ever changing schedules. When it finally gave out after 3 years we bought this Tassimo thinking it was a step up. The machine works great, it's the pods that are the problem. You can only use Tassimo discs (pods) in this machine. They are disposable plastic containers that should really be recycled and they are expensive in comparison. I tried to clean the coffee from the disc so it could be recycled, but it was messy and time consuming. The real deal breaker was the coffee it brewed. Everything we tried tasted like burnt plastic. We spent a lot of money trying each brand to see if it made a difference...but to no avail.
