Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Braun Tassimo TA1200 Single-Serve Hot-Beverage System
Customer Review: Wonderful Coffee - Company not environmentally or socially responsible
Summary: 4 Stars
PROS: Machine still works great after one year of hard use. Wonderful taste to the expresso, latte, cappuccino products including chai tea latte. Less sugar and caleries than coffee shop products, and of course lower cost. Monthly purchase service good - easy to get to quantity needed for free shipping and very responsive to last minute order changes especially by phone.
CONS: MANUFACTURER NOT INTERESTED IN BEING MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY OR SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. Emailed with concerns about plastic discs not being marked with recycle symbol so not accepted in my town's service, no bulk packaging available for mail order, no ability to refill discs, no fair trade products available and Newman's Own having signed with competitor. Did receive email response, but customer service rep provided canned, ignorant answers. (complete email response attached at end of review).
Machine still sounds like a loud garbage grinder when processing so don't be surprised. CHECK CAREFULLY to make sure cleaning disc is included in box when purchasing - missing for both my brother and I, and you can't make your first cup without it. Limited selection of decaf and chai tea products.
RESPONSE FROM TASSIMO
Dear Tassimo? Customer:
Thank you for your email.
Please be advised that the majority of our packaging uses recyclable material: most paperboard, and all glass and metal and many plastics maybe recycled. To determine if packaging is recyclable check to local recycling facilities.
We appreciate you taking the time to e-mail us your suggestion and we will be forwarding it to the appropriate department. (disc that can be filled)
We hope this information will help you understand how we conduct our coffee or green bean purchases. Because of the amount of coffee we require for our business, we do not purchase green coffee beans from individual farms cooperatives directly. Tassimo is available with several coffee brands which obtain coffee from all over the world. Most of our purchases are made through commodity brokers and sanctioned for quality by our expert tasters, to insure that the beans meet our flavor quality standards.
In order to change the overall green coffee sourcing system (commodity market), the total world market would have to change the way coffee is purchased. Since we do not see this happening in the near future, our focus is on supporting sustainable solutions that foster long-term, meaningful improvements to growing practices. Our goal is to help coffee growers achieve added value for their coffee, which will generate increased revenues and better overall conditions for their communities.
We hope this information has been helpful.
The decaf products available are as follows
Gevalia Decaf Cappuccino
Gevalia Decaf Espresso
Gevalia Signature Blend Decaf
Maxwell House Blend Decaf
