The Tassimo single cup brewing system can do this because each T-Disc has a unique barcode that tells the Tassimo machine how to prepare each individual beverage. Plus, Tassimo is the only single cup coffee system that uses an espresso capsule and liquid, shelf-stable milk to prepare their milk-based drinks.

But keep in mind that making a cappuccino or latte is a two-step process. An espresso T-disc plus the specific milk T-Disc (foaming or regular) are prepared sequentially to make a single drink.

The Tassimo one cup brewing system draws on Kraft’s global scale and sells T-discs under brands most Americans will easily recognize (Maxwell House) and several of Kraft’s better-known international brands (Kenco and Jacobs). Teas from Tazo and Twinings of London and delicious hot chocolate from Suchard are also available in T Discs.

CoffeeReview.com, the world’s leading coffee buying guide, has reviewed a variety of T-Discs. But be aware, Tassimo no longer offers Starbucks-branded T Discs. In March 2011, Starbucks elected to not continue their relationship with Tassimo and signed a licensing agreement with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc instead, allowing for the production of Starbucks-branded K-Cups.

Tassimo T-Discs are sold in department stores, large box stores, and through internet retailers.

The best source for buying T-Discs is Tassimo’s web site which sales every type of T-Disc being produced. And, if you sign-up for Tassimo’s Direct Delivery program, you get access to T-Disc beverages not available elsewhere.

Finally, we like the store locator on Tassimo’s web site. Use it to find a retailer near you that sells the Tassimo one-cup brewer and T-Discs.
