‘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."

Amazon chops £90 off Breville coffee machine that 'performs better than expensive ones'
'This coffee machine is literally so easy to operate if you like to make different types of coffee with just couple of clicks.' No matter the time of year, many of us need a warm drink to help us wake up in the morning. While coffee is a go to choice for Brits, many have different preferences of how they like their coffee. From expressos to lattes, there are many choices for a coffee lover to choose from. Now while getting them from a café means you will be getting a high quality beverage, some of us don't have time in the morning to head to a barista before work. This is why it is important to have a coffee machine at home that can make your favourite drink in no time at all. Thankfully, Amazon has dropped the price of the Breville One-Touch Coffee Machine in a limited time deal. Dropping from £225.99 down to £135, shoppers will be saving £90 when they purchase this machine that can make a variety of brews in just a few clicks. With one-touch technology, users can easily make their favourite drink, whether that be an espresso, cappuccino or latte. The machine also comes with single and double shot espresso filters so users can easily control the strength of their morning coffee. Breville claims shoppers will be able to make barista quality coffee from home with this coffee machine as it is equipped with a 19-bar Italian pump which delivers the perfect pressure to extract robust coffee flavours. The machine is also adaptable for different sized cups and mugs. Additionally, users can easily make multiple drinks as the machine comes with a 600ml milk reservoir, so users won't need to constantly add more milk between making drinks. This can also be removed and stored in the fridge to keep the milk cool when the machine isn't in use. The adjustable milk frother also allows users to make the perfect drink. Breville One-Touch Coffee Machine £225.99 £135 Amazon Buy Now Product Description Alternatively, for shoppers looking for something on the cheaper side, Amazon is also selling the Tassimo Suny Coffee Machine for the slightly reduced price of £34.99 (RRP £39.99). With over 17,700 ratings and 4.5 stars, this popular pod coffee machine uses Intellibrew technology to make the 'ideal drink every time'. Over on Argos, the Philips Sublime L'OR Pod Coffee Machine is currently selling for £70. However, shoppers can reduce this price by adding the code RED30 at checkouts - dropping the price to £49. This discount is only available until June 3, so shoppers will need to be quick. However, Amazon shoppers have given the Breville Coffee Machine a 4.2 star rating. While many customers were amazed by the coffee this machine makes, some weren't impressed by the size of the drinks created. One happy shopper said: "Five star is not enough. We have now this amazing coffee machine for two years and it performs better than super expensive ones. "The coffee is amazing. Makes amazing cappuccinos as well. Beautiful froth better than a lot of bars. We drunk on average three coffees per day everyday and the quality has been consistent during the years." With another added: "I would say this is perfect for me. It makes a nice hot mug off frothy Latte coffee, glad I bought this." However, one reviewer grumbled about the quality of the device: "Flimsy construction. Didn't always recognise the milk jug was connected and took an age to make the coffee and clean up after. Back to Nespresso pods for me!" While another customer said: "Got it out the box and followed all the instructions however I feel like I was in the 'Honey I shrunk the kids' movie. I selected the large cappuccino button and yet what was produced was the amount of coffee for that of tiny human. I get around it now by using the double espresso button and custom milk button now." Despite this, a further shopper praised: "I have tried a variety of coffee machines over the years, but always returned them due to being disappointed. This coffee machine is fantastic and I would highly recommend it. I love the fact that the milk frother has an adjustment setting and that you can customise your coffee and milk quantities. "My only gripe is that where the coffee goes, is a tad smaller than I would have liked, but then maybe I should use a smaller mug! Lol Really worth the money." Another five-star reviewer wrote: "I love this coffee machine because it's so versatile for a coffee enthusiast like me. I like to make different combination of coffees: less milk, more coffee, sometimes more hot water. This coffee machine is literally so easy to operate if you like to make different types of coffee with just couple of clicks."
