The structure of the TAS 2011 differs significantly from the previous models in the 4xxx, 6xxx and 8xxx series. The white TAS 2011 model did not come onto the market until the end of 2009. The brown model TAS 4017 was offered in 2011 as a limited special edition including a 0.5 liter jug. informs when the machine needs to be descaled.

The only difference between the T40 and T42 series is that the T42 is a so-called "Chrome Edition", so small areas of the housing that were previously made of plastic are now made of chrome-nickel steel.īRITA water filtration system and digital filter change indicator In the second quarter of 2011, the third generation came out with the T42, also from the manufacturer Bosch. The second generation (devices from Bosch) differs from the first generation (devices from Braun) in addition to many detailed improvements, in particular in two points: On the one hand, a new patented instantaneous water heater is used for faster and more energy-saving heating of the water, and on the other hand, it cleans itself the second generation itself with steam instead of air. BSH Bosch and Siemens Hausgeräte has been producing a model of a Tassimo machine (T 40 base) in four colors in its factory in Slovenia since 2008 and sells it under the Bosch brand name. Braun stopped selling Tassimo machines in 2008 because the new parent company Procter & Gamble is also active in the coffee market. The Tassimo machines were manufactured by Saeco in Romania from 2005 to 2008 and sold by Braun. Unlike Nespresso, the capsules with coffee, tea and cocoa drinks are also available in retail outlets. The manufacturer allegedly compensates for this technical boundary condition with the inverse flow technology described above, with which all the properties of a traditionally prepared espresso are to be achieved.Ĭompeting systems include Nespresso, Dolce Gusto and Senseo. The Tassimo machine works with less pressure than classic espresso machines for preparing espresso. Different portion sizes (the milk capsule, for example, has a lot more content than an espresso capsule) are made using different capsule heights. As a result, the Tassimo milk should neither have a boiled nor taste different from powdered milk. With the capsule for the milk foam, JDE uses its own patented process for ultrafiltered milk. Thanks to their own capsule with liquid milk only for the milk foam, Tassimo machines do not need a steam nozzle and are therefore easier to care for than machines with a frothing nozzle. To do this, first insert a capsule to create the milk foam and then another capsule for the espresso. In addition to espresso and coffee, the Tassimo machines can also prepare tea, cocoa drinks and mixed drinks with milk such as cappuccino or latte macchiato in three layers. On the top of each capsule there is a barcode that the Tassimo machine can use to read in the appropriate preparation parameters (pressure, quantity, temperature, etc.). After the drink has been prepared, the entire capsule must be disposed of with household waste - an empty capsule weighs around 4.4 g. Unlike other capsule systems, the Tassimo capsule has both the hot water inlet and the finished beverage outlet from the same side - namely through the foil of the capsule pierced from below in the machine - which is advertised as "inverse flow technology". In the capsules with ground coffee, the finished drink is filtered using a filter fleece. The plastic capsule also serves as a brewing chamber, which is why, as with other capsule systems, the type can be changed immediately after each brewing process without laborious cleaning of the machine, as the machine hardly comes into contact with the finished product. The disposable capsules are marketed as T Discs and consist of a thermoforming plastic capsule that is sealed with an aluminum-coated or aluminum foil and contains the preparation medium (coffee grounds, tea, milk, etc.).
