What happened with the old holder that caused the recall? I have the old style too...

there was a couple of cases where the tassimo leaked water while making the drink and therefore hot water would come out/trickle. they just added an adapter which is like a helmet to prevent anyone getting a money shot of hot coffee.

i popped in a milk disk last week and i dont know if i put it in off centre or what and it was leaking. i'd say the new add-on did it's job though that was the first time my machine did that.

I notice when I lock in my milk discs, a little bit of milk pre-cum drips out of the spout; do you mean that or did it come out the sides?

I love my t55. I'd pounce on this deal.

I cant use it much because I'm barely home, but we got one at work. Even though it's an older cheaper tassimo, its easy and convenient to use.

I'm starting to enjoy caramel machiato Lol. Chai tea is dope, too.

Not sure if it has been discussed already, but if you dl the (Android) app MobileBandit, there's a "Show and Go" deal at a few Burnaby/Coquitlam/Poco Tim Hortons that give out free T-Disks (either 3 coffee, or 3 latte iirc).

Note that they're one-time redeem deals. Haven't checked if they're still available, but if you're in the area...

Suchard's is the name and yes, it's much better.

I buy most of my T-discs online now from Tassimo, coffee, espresso | ECS Coffee Inc. (http://www.ecscoffee.com/shop-by-category/tassimo/coffee.html)

My current favourites are the Carte Noir Cream Intenso and the King of Joe dark roast. The Second Cup paradiso dark roast t-discs are great too.

I would only use a descaler every year or so. Our water here in BC is quite neutral so there shouldn't really be a need to descale.

The descaler solution is quite acidic and damages machine if used too often.

Few new flavors I'm guessing for the holiday season for tassimo.

Peppermint mocha: I like this one quite a bit.

Also saw a chai tea which I didn't buy

The Keurig Elite is going for 79 bucks just about everywhere. I bought one yesterday at Walmart and they have the updated one with three cup sizes, even though the picture on the box has only two. Make sure you open the box and check that you've got the newer model.

I love the Keurig, because I can just get a cup of hot water for my miso soup, instant coffee, tea, whathaveyou. I love hot water over cold rice. No bar codes to mess with.

If you want a single cup and don't mind the extra wait, Walmart has the mini Keurig for 59 bucks. It's cute and has a small footprint. Has drawbacks, but for a dorm, it's good.

My wife bought us a Keurig (Cuisinart) machine about 3 months back, I've tried probably more then a dozen different coffees and I haven't really liked any of them. I prefer my regular old coffee pot but the for convenience it's good. Maybe it's because I'm use to a certain type of coffee but I prefer old fashion brewed coffee to the Keurig machine.

Forgot to mention........

If you register your Keurig, you get a promo code via e-mail for a buy two, get two free deal. You choose 4 boxes and when checking out, you put in the code. Shipping is free for all orders over 45 bucks, I think. EDIT: 45 bucks for US site and 69 bucks for Canadian site (see below).

Also, Costco has their Keurig Platinum brewer on sale until the 27th of this month. $25.00 off - manufacturer discount. Comes with 60 free cups! Plus, the Keurig, fill your own coffee filter cup thingy.

KeurigŪ Platinum Single Cup Coffee Brewing System (http://www.costco.com/KeurigŪ-Platinum-Single-Cup-Coffee-Brewing-System.product.11537017.html)

EDIT: Just found out that there is a keurig.ca site and a keurig.com site. I ordered my stuff from the .com (USA) site. Way more varieties to choose from. However, they charge you 9.95 brokerage fees along with pst and gst (came out to just over a dollar for both taxes). Anyhow, if you order from the Canadian site, the stuff costs more, so in the long run, I decided to go the US .com site. Got a bonus sample pack, to boot.

On top of this, I don't think the promo code works on the Canadian site. Canadian site = major FAIL!

I've seen those industrial Keurig machines.. with the water supply tap in the back so you never have to fill, and they have their own trash bin inside the machine so after its done making the cup of coffee, it disposes of the waste before the next kcup is inserted so you don't have to manually remove it each time. I was wow'ed. lol.

+1 for ristretto, and dulsao, the nespresso machine I use it for when you want to relax watch a show read a book, entertain some friends etc.

the tassimo and keurig i use for the quick cup morning rush lets get the f to work asap times, the f me i have to get these papers done so i might end up with a slowly getting colder cup of coffee/tea but im still gonna drink it times, or for people who come over and don;t appreciate a good cup of coffee or tea.

the 12 cup drip brewer gets used at family parties :badpokerface:

If anyone is on the fence for a Nespresso machine, the UMilk Orange is on for $90 after code applied.

Nespresso CA - Coffee and Espresso machines (http://www.nespresso.com/ca/en/home)

This machine comes with a frother attached to it, not separately from what I've read.
I already have a Pixie, but still caved because of the frother alone. :(

FYI i was at the grandview superstore just now and on their 50% off rack are tassimo, keurig pods as well as bags of coffee. the tassimo ones i saw expired early to mid 2015. i picked up 5 packs of tassimo pods regularly at $8.99 for $4.50 :victory:

the rack is in the far corner of the store by the yogurt/seafood.

so i'm thinking of getting my dad one of these for xmas. my dad has always been a coffee drinker, but having been a blue collar worker for so long he's always doing instant stuff or something from tim horton's, although i have known him to hit starbucks when time permits.

for the coffee drinkers out there (i don't really drink coffee... gasp!), do you guys think he would enjoy what a tassimo or keurig would offer?

I love a good cup of coffee. The only decent coffee I've seen come out of a Tassimo/Kuerig are the pack your own capsule type. But if you going into that much effort to make a cup, why not buy a real machine? If you dad drinks instant, when he might not have an issue.


Go Nespresso and don't look back. I'm currently testing out some of the other brands of capsules, and so far the house brand is way ahead despite it's price.

if he's lived all his life on instant, then he should be happy with either. as hud mentioned, keurig has the option of the filter where you can add your own ground coffee which is nice. tassimo has the option of latte-type drinks which may be nice if your mom/dad fancy those as well. though keurig has been adding teas and other drinks to their line up as well

nespresso is a step up from both no doubt but i believe the pods are more pricey as well so that has to be taken in to account. keurig on avg i find are 0.60-1.00/ea where tassimo pods are on the 0.50-0.75/ea.

if he's strictly a coffee guy i'd say get a keurig single cup machine

Massive recall of Keurig coffee makers
Health Canada has issued a recall for thousands of Keurig Mini-plus coffee makers because there is a risk they could cause burns.

The health agency says the single-serve coffee makers were sold between December 2009 and July 2014.

More than 563,892 of the recalled models were sold in Canada and approximately 5,997,173 were sold in the U.S., Health Canada says.

The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission has also issued a recall.

The recall says the water can overheat, spray out and cause burns.

Keurig has received 25 reports of liquid spraying from the machine in Canada, causing 17 minor burns. There have been no reported serious injuries, the recall says.

Customers should contact Keurig for a free repair kit and for steps to avoid injury while waiting for the kit.

if he just wants coffee period, cheapest is bulk costco 50 pack. iirc when i had a keurig it came out to roughly 50 cents or less each. these are the diff roast types or the variety pack.

if he wants specific flavours (i like my hazelnut flavour) then you/he will have to keep an eye when superstore has them on sale, or london drugs does a buy 2 get 1 free promo. essentially wait until they go on sale and then stock up.

Register that puppy and get cups at or near half price! I think it's a one time offer that should be in with your paperwork (warranty papers). Free shipping, too.

When I first got mine, I thought I ordered enough to last a while. Nope.......

Take advantage of the offer if it is still in the boxes. I've bought three machines and didn't know about the offer for first time owners until I actually read the included instructions and paperwork, LOL.

New Keurig owner here. K200 was a xmas gift. So far so good.

The only thing somewhat negative about it was after brewing a coffee, the next person dispensed a cup of hot water and the water was brown thanks to the previous coffee brewed. So rule of thumb is before using it for hot water, do at least one (ideally two) cleansing brews first (which is kind of annoying).

I've noticed whenever I use my Keurig for hot water, I get brownish water and quite a few coffee grounds. I'll have to run at least 1 or 2 cycles before I get clean hot water.

I'd expect this if I made many cups of coffee of a period of time and hadn't cleaned it regularly. Except for me, this happens after making only one cup of coffee. After just one cup, you're getting brown water with grounds unless you flush it. Is that normal?
