Tassimo tricks
Posted by Ben on November 27th, 2005
Want to try something different on your Tassimo beverage system? Try making a mocha latte or mocha cappuccino. Here’s what to do:
You’ll need:
- An espresso T-Disc
- A hot chocolate T-Disc
- Either a latte or cappuccino creamer T-Disc
- You’ll need a large mug for this – one of those coffee-house sized mugs will do, or a tall travel mug
- Brew the espresso disc. When completed, remove the disc
and carefully (the pod will be HOT) cut away the barcode. Carefully place the barcode over the scanner window, then insert the chocolate T-disc. If you see all 4 lights flashing, the barcode isn’t properly aligned. Once you’ve got the “auto” light, brew the chocolate.- Learned a better way – just brew the chocolate pod normally, but watch the product coming out. When the water goes clear, press the button again to stop the water
- Insert the creamer disc. While the water is heating, you may want to stir the espresso and chocolate together to make sure they mix well
- Enjoy!
All this does is make the chocolate disc brew using less water, so you don’t dilute out the chocolate or the espresso.

Hi Ben – well, the ben johnson i knew went to University of Illinois (the last I knew), and would be in his mid-20s, went to DC on his honors senior trip (jamin, mike Q, etc), was also friends with Sarah N. and lived in an cute farmhouse in cheshire where i was once invited to all watch fargo and order pizza. Had trig with Zali at HVHS and and i remember super cute blue eyes and slim body. Maybe you’re a different Ben Jonhson?!

That would definitely be a different Ben Johnson. For what it’s worth, there were 5 separate Ben Johnsons actively enrolled while I was there. Didn’t go to DC, don’t have blue eyes, don’t know a Sarah N., and the last time I was slim was sadly in college.

Interesting tip, I will definitely have to try it, to bad my kids finished off the last of my hot chocolate!
Do you have other tricks? I received my Tassimo a year and a half ago and have just been following the disc instructions. I also finally did a write up about it on Squidoo because I am so happy with it. It’s available here, if you have a minute Tassimo Coffee Maker.
Thanks,
Bill
