After trying all the types of coffee Tassimo offers I've found Maxwell House House Blend to be my favorite choice.
Gevalia makes a great Latte - golden, rich and creamy. If you like rich and aromatic, with little to no aftertaste, go for Maxhouse. I was also suprised that the Maxwell House House Blend does the same thing. So, if Canada believes in Nabob, I think Americans can support Maxwell House with the same pride. Whatever your taste in coffee, I do think that it will be brewed to accuracy with Tassimo. Just find your niche'.
I have tried the Gevalia espresso, I thought it was too bitter with no crema. You get 14 Nabob pods in a single pack and 16 Maxwell House. Although, the Gevalia Cap kept me up to 3:00am the first time I drank it. I also scored over 1300 points on my daughters DS Lite/Big Brain Academy after drinking that thing.P.S. I like coffee from Nordstroms and I didn't know what kind of coffee that was, except that it comes from Seattle. But, none of the coffees are bad and they all brew perfectly. It you like it a little more rich and pleasantly aromatic with less in your cup, go to Tassimo Direct and get Nabob.This review is meant to support Maxwell House, Nabob, and the Gevalia Latte. Gevalia Signature Blend coffee is too bitter for my palette.
I found that the Nabob Columbian from Canada rivals the Nordstrom cup extremely well. I prefer their latte over cappuccino because the cap has a stronger espresso brew and seems more skim than the latte - more froth in the cap though. Nabob is a richer, possibly more elegant brew, but for convenience I would grab the Maxwell House. I am not an espresso drinker, so I didn't know what to look for. I tried Seattle's Best, and no.not for my style. I also like Carribou and can not stomach Starbucks. I give this coffee 5 stars for the pleasant suprise in taste, convenience, and for the economics (Maxwell House brews a slightly larger cup than Nabob and is sold on Amazon with Holiday discounts). The cap is more chocolaty with a bite than creamy like the latte.
I am doing this only to see if I could recommend this machine to a true espresso drinker. I want to sample the 3 other espressos from Tassimo to see if others are more pleasant. Being an American, I think it is easy to not notice the treasure in your own backyard. This leads me to believe, the Maxwell house espresso may also be good for my taste.My uncle retired from Maxwell House and they swear by the coffee. It should appeal to lightweight drinkers like me who prefer creamy, rich, and pleasant coffee that does not need to keep you awake to be considered good.
This was a lot better than I thought it would be. It is also much cheaper that the other t-discs.
While it's not as strong as an espresso, the Maxwell House Cafe'Collection T-Disks (both decaf and regular) provide a good reliable cup of coffe. It's nice and smooth and quite convenient for that quick little afternoon cup.
