Fresh Water
For best results, always use
fresh, cold water. Fresh
water allows the flavours
to better unfold.
T-DISCS can be stored in their carton dispenser or if you prefer,
you can transfer them to another container. Whilst you should
always store your T-DISCS in a cool, dry place, it is not necessary
to keep them in the refrigerator. Do not keep T-DISCS in the freezer.
If unopened, your T-DISCS are good until the ‘best before date’ on
the outer package.
Maintenance
You must regularly clean and descale your Tassimo
machine to ensure best results (see sections “Cleaning”
and “Descaling”). For cleaning and descaling purposes, a
reusable cleaning disc is provided with the machine.
Please keep it in a safe place for use as required.
Cups and Mugs
The Tassimo machine will accommodate most of your favourite cups and mugs. Use the
higher level of the adjustable cup stand for espresso cups and the lower level for most
other cups. For larger mugs, you can also temporarily remove both the drip tray and the
cup stand; however, these should be replaced right after brewing. Always keep the
splashback in place while brewing.
To avoid spilling over, please ensure that your cup is the right size for the drink you are
making. These are recommended cup sizes:
Espresso 75 ml
Cappuccino 200 ml
Coffee, Caffè crema, Chocolate*
and Tea 280 ml
