Tassimo
Tassimo is a home brewing system developed by Kraft Foods. It uses proprietary plastic T-Discs that are ostensibly recyclable and creates a single serving of a beverage. The Tassimo system is notable for its ability to brew a variety of hot beverages including coffee, tea, and hot chocolate, as well as espressos, lattes, and cappuccinos.
History[edit | edit source]
The Tassimo system was first introduced in France in 2004 after being developed by Kraft Foods. In 2008, the system was redesigned and relaunched with a new design and additional features. The Tassimo system is now available in a number of countries worldwide, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Germany.
Design and Functionality[edit | edit source]
The Tassimo system uses unique T-Discs, which are plastic discs filled with coffee, tea, chocolate, or milk powder. Each T-Disc contains a barcode that the machine reads, allowing it to adjust the amount of water, brewing time, and temperature for each specific beverage. This allows the Tassimo system to brew a variety of hot beverages, including coffee, tea, hot chocolate, espressos, lattes, and cappuccinos.
Environmental Impact[edit | edit source]
The Tassimo system has been criticized for the environmental impact of its T-Discs. While the discs are ostensibly recyclable, they are made of a combination of plastic and aluminum, which can be difficult to separate for recycling. In response to these criticisms, Tassimo has partnered with TerraCycle to create a recycling program for T-Discs.
