The Cadbury Hot Chocolate was such a big disappointment, didn't taste great.  Quote:

If you want to short pour you press the button where you want it to stop pouring. To long pour you press and hold the button it when it starts 'finishing' and the green light is blinking, it'll keep pouring until you let go of the button.
The thing is you gotta be right there to do it, can't pre-set it.

Tried a disc of Gevalia caramel espresso from my gf's collection of discs.
Disgusting.

So as much as I like my tassimo, I grew tired of the instamilk crap quick. Went to the mall to check out frothers, and was gonna buy this $100 one that keurig has since I tried it at my brothers.
Stopped by the nespresso booth to waste some time, and try and weasal a free sample lol. The salesman was bored so he went through his spiel with me.
The nespresso makes a good espresso, but, I don't think its worth the price tag, and the tassimo coffee really isn't bad. Asked him about the frothers, and I ended picking up a frother for $100. It does both a hot froth and a cold froth, plus, makes steam milk for those days I want milk and honey, or hot chocolate.
Btw, Nespresso seems to be the Apple of the one cup brew machines. Will probably own one eventually lol. For those that want a frother, its called Aeroccino 3.

so your frother is not used in conjunction with your tassimo correct?

Not at all. It looks like a coffee bean grinder, but instead of grinding, it froths.

Thanks. | depends if you want a coffee maker or a coffee/latte maker.
costco is good on packages that come with x amount of free capsules though.
i think my friend got a keurig and got 50 or 100 free kcups or something.

Just let it soak in some warm water for a little bit and then proceeded with making that hot chocolate. Tasted that much better!
Also jumped on to the Buy 2 Get One at London Drugs last weekend, got a Gevalia Caramel Mac & Vanilla Latte and a Second Cup Paradiso Dark.

Recall
I'm assuming that'll be the site that'll send you a new T-Disc holder.

I entered mine in and it doesn't need the new holder. I'm wondering if it's the earlier models that got recalled?
