TASSIMO is a single-serve hot beverage system that allows users to prepare a variety of drinks, including coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and even milk-based drinks like cappuccinos, with the push of a button. It uses proprietary T-Discs, which are non-reusable plastic pods containing the ingredients for a specific drink. TASSIMO machines are known for their easy operation, one-button brewing, and ability to customize drinks through Intellibrew technology. The system reads a barcode on each T-Disc to determine the precise amount of water, temperature, and brewing time needed for optimal results.
