Coffee fans snag ‘compact’ home machines with up to 58% off in deal

Shoppers can create Costa, Cadbury and L’OR hot drinks in their own homes

Many of us enjoy a coffee first thing in the morning, but with some of us in a rush, this ends up being a costly takeout coffee, eating away at our monthly budgets. This is why, as a self-proclaimed coffee snob and former barista, I believe investing in an at home machine.

Plus, it’s even better when the device is on sale and with Christmas on the horizon, there are many offers to snap up – including a number of enticing deals at Tassimo. For example, for those who don’t want the faff (or expense) of a bean-to-cup machine, its pod gadget bundles have up to 58% off, including its Finesse Friendly Red All the Favourites Coffee Bundle, which usually retails at £122.24, now £49.99.

As a pod model, it requires specialist Tassimo coffee capsules, which are less messy than machines that require ground coffee beans for a brew. This deal comes with a range of pods that make it easy to make a cafe-quality drink. From XL Intense pods, to Latte Macchiato, to cappuccino (Costa style) as well as Milka hot chocolate (for those who’d rather a creamy chocolate drink).

An eco-friendly machine, made from 60% recycled plastic with 94% recycled packaging, the TASSIMO Finesse Friendly Coffee Pod Machine is also a good choice for smaller spaces, as noted by customers who praised it as “compact and easy to use.” Measuring at 366 x265 x157 mm (H x L x W), the gadget can easily slot into a tight space and can even add to the room with its range of colourways.

This does mean the water tank isn’t the largest. Although for daily coffees and a small number of people, this shouldn’t be an issue. The kitchen device is easy to run too, as it only requires the press of a button for the drink to be crafted.

While the capsules do have the ability to make a frothy coffee, it’s important to note that this kitchen appliance doesn’t come with an individual milk frother. This item must be purchased separately. For those who want to recreate a cafe-bought latte, the Daewoo Electric Milk Frother is currently on sale at Amazon for £22.79.

Alternatively, Curry’s has currently reduced the price of the NESPRESSO by De’Longhi Lattissima One Pod by £60.99, meaning it’s now £159. It comes with a built-in milk frother and uses pods to create the perfect cup of coffee. Elsewhere, L’OR BARISTA Sublime machine and milk frother bundle is reduced to £104.99 from £223.88. While it doesn’t have a built-in frother, a separate branded steamer is included in the price, as well as 100 capsules.

For the coffee connoisseurs amongst us who want something with a few more options, Tassimo’s My Way – Cream & ‘The Perfect Brew’ Coffee Bundle is also on sale with 38% off, making it now £79.99 instead of £131.99.

With a range of pods included in the bundle (making 48 cups of coffee, hot chocolate and more), the difference is the coffee machine itself. This MY WAY coffee machine has been made using advanced INTELLIBREW™ smart technology.

The brand’s unique barcode system calibrates each drink to the ideal size and temperature, ensuring a consistently delightful cup every time. While this machine still works on a one-touch basis, the MY WAY is fully customisable, allowing its users to adjust the brew length and intensity. Plus, it has a memory setting that can save up to four of your favourites.

While shoppers have loved this device’s ‘perfect’ aesthetic and ‘nice hot coffee’, some people have shared how coffee “splashes need regular wiping” while others have noted the instructions aren’t too clear.

One person knocked a star off, stating: “Looks very nice more options than my old one, I have a cream one and it does get a lot of coffee splashes on it but overall I really like it.”

Most other shoppers have shared their praise of the machine, with one person noting: “An excellent way to upgrade my old Tassimo machine. The white model looks great and makes very good coffee. In addition to the various types of coffee included in the deal were bags to assist in recycling the used pods and a discount on my next Tassimo order.”

Another added: “I just love this new coffee machine, you can make so many different blends of coffee.” Similarly, the Style Friendly – White & ‘Coffee Shop Favourites’ Bundle is also on sale for £44.99, down from £110.04. With the same INTELLIBREW™ smart technology, this machine doesn’t seem to feature the customisable option of the MY WAY, but has the same simplistic approach of the Finesse Friendly.

The brand explains: “The STYLE ensures your drinks are always brewed to perfection, adjusting the size and temperature based on the barcode of your chosen pod. Plus, its compact design saves valuable counter space, so you never have to sacrifice style or function.”
