My wife works in an office, and in the past she’d often leave the building, hike to her car, and drive to get coffee, tea, cappuccino or espresso, depending on her mood and her need for a little pick-me-up. But in the time it took her to walk to her car, she now fixes any of her favorite drinks on the office’s Tassimo Professional — a great alternative especially in the winter months, when no one wants to traipse through the cold to get some hot liquid sustenance.

Tassimo’s intelligently designed T Disc cartridges carry a bar code, which the machine reads. This automatic drink recognition system adjusts to heat cappuccino or coffee for a certain amount of time –and at its regularly prescribed temperature. You don’t have to adjust anything; simply put the cartridge in the machine and press the start/stop button on its Liquid Crystal display.

Paul, my wife’s co-worker, has used Keurig office coffee makers in the past, but the one-stop Tassimo Pro better suits his changing tastes. Some days he wants a 3-ounce Gevalia espresso or an 11-ounce Suchard hot chocolate. By simply adjusting the height of the cup stand, he’s all set, because the Tassimo Pro does the rest with its bar-code recognition system.

“Unbelievably convenient,” he said. “And easy to use.”

The prospect of using the same office machine to make espressos, lattes and coffee seemed like pie in the sky, my wife said initially, and her co-workers were a bit hesitant to abandon the Keurig they’ve come to know. But once she arranged a free office demonstration, all of them were excited to use the versatile Tassimo Pro.
