Enjoy 'coffee shop quality' brews as Tassimo slashes price of popular pod machine
A good, strong coffee can help start the morning right, and now shoppers can enjoy a barista-style in their own kitchens
For coffee lovers, buying a cup from their favourite shop every day can become an expensive hobby. However, getting the perfect homemade coffee that has the same taste and aesthetic can be difficult to find.
Times are changing and more people are investing in a home coffee maker, and the brand Tassimo is one of the most loved for homemade coffees. Tassimo offers a selection of coffee machines that can make fan favourites such as cappuccinos, lattes and espressos. Now customers are in luck as they can grab the Tassimo Style Friendly - Cream and Coffee Shop Favourites Bundle for £44.99 down from £107.94 from their website.
The bundle features a stylish coffee machine, available in cream, white or black - meaning shoppers can keep a nice aesthetic in their homes and the machine will fit right in. the machine comes with five packs of Tassimo's best selling T-Disc pods which can give up to 48 cups of coffee from the comfort of home.
The coffee pods include Costa caramel latte, Cadbury hot chocolate, Kenco flat white, Kenco americano grande XL and Kenco cappuccino - ensuring that there will be a flavour to suit everyone. To use the coffee machine, shoppers can expect an easy experience as it offers one-touch operation, which allows them to prepare drinks with a touch of a button. With Intellibrew smart technology, the machine ensures that beverages are brewed to perfection every time, with a specialist barcode ensuring the drink is the right size and temperature.
If the Tassimo isn't what shoppers are looking for, they could also try the Geepas 15 Bar Espresso Coffee Maker Machine for £99.99 from Debenhams, which can craft single or double espressos, cappuccinos and lattes. It also has a detachable milk frother and has a precision temperature control. For a more expensive option, there is also the Ninja Luxe Cafe Premier Espresso Machine ES601UK for £549.99, which comes with 19 settings, a dual froth system and an assisted tamper. It is also three machines in one, as it can make espressos, filter coffee and cold brew. It also includes a portafilter, three baskets, an assisted tamper, funnel, forth jug with an integrated whisk, built-in grinder, cleaning brush and a starter kit.
Although the Tassimo coffee machine has no direct reviews on its website, customers have shared their thoughts on the brand on Trustpilot. One person said: 'I love my Tassimo machine. My favourite is Costa and classic coffee pods.'
Another said: 'I love my Tassimo and have had it for years. My little treat to me and you can smell the coffee. It's my moment. Their hot chocolate is lovely too. Enjoy the little things.'
'Very good coffee and the delivery was quicker than expected,' said another shopper.
Coffee can be a very personal choice, however, and others shared different opinions on the brand. One person said: 'I like the machine, the coffee is good, but the latte pods are really expensive.'
Another said: 'It's okay, but it would be better if it had more flavours.'
Despite this, for a chunk of money off and a range of pods to choose from, the Tassimo Style Friendly - Cream and Coffee Shop Favourites Bundle sounds like a great choice for coffee lovers.

Major UK airlines may owe travellers '£520' compensation for delayed flights
A travel blogger has recommended two avenues to explore for anyone who has been hit with flight delays - but travellers must check they are eligible first A savvy travel blogger has shared a genius tip that could see delayed passengers "successfully claim up to £520" in compensation. Known as The Travel Mum, the blogger has chucked a lifeline to delayed flyers by sharing a genius tip that could see passengers forced to wait hours for their flights recoup some money. Addressing her huge 417,000 TikTok following, she highlights how often travellers with airlines like Ryanir, TUI and easyJet are missing out on their entitled reimbursements. "Is there anything worse than getting to the airport and finding out your flight has been delayed?" she asked. "Well, here is a little hack to make sure you get the compensation you are owed." The Travel Mum added: "Most families don't realise they could be owed up to £520 per person after a delay. A huge 52% of valid claims get wrongly rejected by the airlines for all sorts of reasons." The Travel mum recommended AirHelp, a stellar online service that eases the task of claiming compensation for inconvenienced passengers facing delays, cancellations, and overbookings. The platform, boasting an impressive 4.6-star rating on Trustpilot, says it has supported more than 2.7 million people in successfully claiming. While users can utilise a free compensation checker on the platform to see potential pay-outs, securing the cash with AirHelp's guidance isn't cost-free - although they tempt with a 'no win, no fee' option, a 35% slice of the pay-out is the standard charge if the claim is successful, reports the Daily Record. You can opt for an AirHelp+ annual membership from just £34.99 a year, dodging any deductions from your compensation payouts. With AirHelp, the burden of paperwork and negotiation is lifted from your shoulders, regardless of the fee plan you choose; they even cover all court costs up to an incredible £1,000. The Travel mum added: "AirHelp is great because they know what they are talking about, and they will handle the whole claims process for you. They will even take the airline to court if they are denying you what you are owed." It's worth noting, though, that you can lodge a claim yourself at no cost, without involving AirHelp. Reaching out directly to airlines - each with their unique claims protocol - is one way to go about it. Martin Lewis ' MoneySavingExpert offers bountiful tips and a handy, free-to-use online tool for lodging and tracking complaints. Before you get carried away, make sure you're eligible for a payout. Certain conditions need to be met, such as cancellations within a fortnight of departure, strikes by airline staff, or when the disturbance is the airline's responsibility. However, remember that uproarious weather, political turmoil, volcanic ash clouds and security issues don't make the cut for compensation claims. If you're jetting off from a UK or EU airport, or with a UK or EU-based airline landing in these zones, your flight should be protected by EU and UK compensation rules. This also applies if you've booked through a travel agency or tour operator. However, any flight provider or airport outside the EU may have different rules. For more details, check out MSE's compensation guide or visit AirHelp.

Sweet Williams in Pontardawe wins gift shop of the year
Mrs Emma Doyle runs Sweet Williams on 6-8 Herbert Street in Pontardawe. The shop has 96 reviews on Facebook and a recommendation ratio of 96%, specializing in beautiful handmade gifts. Sweet Williams is located on 6-8 Herbert Street. (Image: Emma Doyle) Mrs Doyle said: 'I am very much proud of our achievement. We have worked so hard. You only need to look at Trustpilot to see how many positive reviews we have. Now, to have recognition for that is fantastic. 'It's quite a big award. It started out as a hobby. We started in 2011 at home and then we got our first shop in 2016. So, we have had a presence on the high street for a number of years. We first had a studio and then we eventually got a shop. Mrs Doyle started her business in 2011. (Image: Emma Doyle) 'The shop became available at the start of COVID, and we have been here ever since. My background before I started this business was in law. I started the business while I was on maternity leave. 'I'm always trying to put Pontardawe on the map. We are a huge champion of shopping local and independent and feel privileged to have a space to do this in Pontardawe. 'This is important because in the last couple of years it's been tough for businesses on the high street. So, to have support from the local community is fantastic.' The store specialises in handmade gifts. (Image: Emma Doyle) Mrs Doyle was informed via email that she was nominated for the award, before a panel of judges looked at her business, including her reviews. She will attend Ashton Gate Football Stadium in Bristol next month to attend an award ceremony and receive the accolade in person. Mrs Doyle continued: 'We have supplied products for the Royal Family and received an award from Theo Paphitis from Dragons Den. But this award has been the icing on the cake. 'We just want to keep building our customer base. We still have so many people coming in who didn't realise we were here. 'We are a family business. My husband chips in, as do my children. My mum and dad also get involved. We even offer sowing workshops." The business creates its own brand of textile products. (Image: Emma Doyle) Sweet Williams is a gift shop consisting of several retail spaces set over 4 floors. The business has recently reopened its basement following a yearlong renovation project, which is now home to Welsh/locally sourced foodie treats and a pre-loved bookshop. On the fourth floor, Sweet Williams creates its own brand of textile products, which are then supplied to over 200 stockists, helping other independent retailers to grow their presence on the local high street.

‘Easy to use' Tassimo coffee machine gets a price cut to less than £40
Investing in a home coffee machine can be an intimidating task, particularly for those who have never used one before. Not to mention that acquiring an espresso machine to make a fresh brew without leaving the comfort of our homes can cost a few hundred quid up front. However, Tassimo has unveiled several rather impressive deals on its coffee machines, which only require the use of pods to create a delicious morning or afternoon cuppa. All users need are some coffee pods (the machines are compatible with Tassimo's range) to create a drink that rivals the one from the indie cafe down the road. These Tassimo machines rival the likes of Nespresso's Vertuo Pop Pod Coffee Machine by Krups, which is on sale for £59.99, and Versuni PHILIPS L'OR Barista Sublime Capsule Coffee Machine, now £69.99 from £109.99, both of which operate with the touch of a button and require coffee pods. The latter can also pour a double shot, allowing it to make two cups of coffee at once if desired. This may make it a favourite with couples who enjoy a coffee together in the morning. While these deals are impressive, some of Tassimo's coffee machines are available for up to 58% off, with many costing less than £40. It is ideal for beginners to make espresso at home, according to The Mirror. For those seeking an affordable entry into the world of coffee machines without breaking the bank, the brand's Style Friendly is currently on offer for £34.99, reduced from £79.99. This compact model, measuring 265 x 171 x 320mm, is a perfect starter coffee machine for those with limited kitchen space. While it is available in three colours, the cream and white versions are slightly pricier at £39.99. The coffee machine, touted as offering 'hassle-free brewing', is constructed from 57% recycled plastic and features Intellibrew technology. This aids in the brewing process for various types of coffee, from lattes to robust espressos. There's no need for pre-heating, and, as mentioned earlier, a single button press is all it takes to brew the perfect cup - just remember to insert the pod. Meanwhile, the brand's Happy coffee machine, now £34.99 from £79.99, is slightly lighter, weighing in at 1.5kg compared to 2.6kg. With dimensions of 265 x 175 x 305 mm, this machine has won over customers for its ease of use and ability to produce 'very nice coffee'. While the cream design is a sophisticated choice that'll certainly brighten up a space and add to it without being too garish (as some appliances can be), the Happy also comes in black for a sleek and stylish look. The machine boasts an impressive 4.7-star rating, with coffee enthusiasts praising it as a 'brilliant machine' and finding it better than they expected. Another customer added: "This is my fourth Tassimo, and I would say it's the best. It seems to give a larger drink. I ordered online at a discount, and it was delivered without a problem." However, for some, it wasn't quite up to scratch. One three-star shopper said: "The machine is very basic; I should have gone for a better model." For those who prefer a more intense coffee in the morning, the brand's FINESSE Cream Coffee Machine has been discounted in the sale to £39.99, down from £89.99, shaving £50 off the original price. Available in four different colours - red, cream, white, and black - the machine is similar to the models above in terms of functionality and design. Still, it has been crafted with IntensityBoost technology, which, as the brand describes, helps users adapt the coffee intensity to their taste. Pressing the button for three seconds intensifies the flavour. Weighing in at 2.75kg and measuring 366 x 265 x 157 mm, this slightly larger model has won the hearts of Tassimo coffee enthusiasts, one of whom gave it a 5-star rating and said: "I like it a lot, the extra feature to intensify the flavour is welcomed. A big Tassimo fan now onto my fourth machine bought at a great price." While some users found the gadget's water tank 'too small' at 0.7L, others didn't share the same concern, with many hailing it as the 'best yet'. Interestingly, these three models feature a button to start the coffee brewing process on the side, where users can place their mug. However, the priciest model in the deals, which is still a pretty savvy find, has its power button just above the mug and offers several different settings to experiment with. It's crucial to remember that these coffee machines don't include a milk frother, and these offers don't always come with coffee pods. Therefore, ensure the deal with the extra pods has been selected before checking out. For a machine with a milk frother, there's the L'OR Barista Sublime, which comes with a separate milk frother and 100 capsules. Shoppers have praised it as "easy to use" and for pouring a "delicious cup of coffee". However, for shoppers not wanting froth, the Tassimo My Way 2, which usually retails at £99.99, has been reduced to £69.99. Unlike some of the previous models, this coffee machine is equipped with a BRITA filter and doesn't just provide coffee - it can also be used to create any hot drink, with tea and hot chocolate pods from Tassimo being compatible with it. With a larger water tank of 1.6L, 1500W power (compared to the usual 1400W), and dimensions of 285 x 228 x 340 mm, the machine is slightly larger and has increased capacity to produce a variety of different-sized coffees. It also features an automatic power-down to help save energy. Shoppers have been raving about the latest improvements on this gadget, with one elated customer saying in their five-star review: "This is such a step up from my old Tassimo basic coffee maker. I used to have to keep my finger pressed on the button to top up my cup, which was so annoying. "With this little beauty, I simply select the large cup, and it's sorted - a full cup every time. It is very good. I like that it makes my coffee hot, and I can have it strong or weak." However, some users noted that the initial setup was somewhat challenging due to unclear instructions. As one customer put it: "Only criticism so far concerns the graphic-only instruction sheet. The images are just not clear and understandable enough. Fully detailed written instructions in a multi-lingual and illustrated booklet would be a great improvement." In addition to its functionality, the My Way 2's style also earned praise, with a reviewer noting: "Very good looking machine, about the footprint size of a four-slice toaster. You can control the strength, temperature and size of coffee. You can store your four preferences in memory. The water reservoir is easy to fill and has a water filter. It's quiet and efficient, but most of all, it makes great coffee."
