Tassimo T4011
Bosch introduces the Tassimo 4011 Silver, offering freshly brewed hot drinks at the touch of a button with intelligent LED user interface. With the T4011 you've got a fully comprehensive hot drinks machine in a sleek and easy to use design.
Key Feature
Not just a coffee machine
Tassimo provides a variety of freshly prepared hot beverages at just the touch of a button. Your options are near endless with the T4011--coffees, teas, infusions and hot chocolate can be easily prepared, all from the same machine. With 40+ varieties of quality hot drinks under leading brands including Kenco, Twinings, Cadbury, Carte Noire and the NEW Costa range, you'll have access to a vast array of quality hot drinks--most of which can be freshly brewed in just 60 seconds. (Except Cappuccino and Latte Macchiato 2 T-DISCS)
Unique and patented technology
Tassimo's unique T DISC technology includes a product specific brewing chamber and barcode reader, meaning each drink is brewed to perfection. This automatic drink identification allows the machine to manage water amount, temperature, pressure and brewing time, ensuring that every individual variety of beverages is made to perfection.
Easy to maintain
The steam purge at the end of each drink preparation means there is no taste transfer between each different beverage, so your drink will always taste refreshingly consistent. The T4011 requires virtually no cleaning thanks to the dishwasher safe parts and the automatic de-scaling programme. Refilling the two litre water tank is easy due to the flip up handle and you can monitor the water level from the outside using the float.
Simple to operate
The T4011 is incredibly simple and easy to use thanks to the single button operation and just 4 easy steps. Just pick a drink, pop in the disc, push the button and enjoy your drink. It's as simple as that.
Multi light indicator
The multi-light indicator lets you know the status of the T4011 at any given time. There is a standby light, a solid and flashing light to indicate the status of the brewing process, a manual brewing indicator, an empty water tank warning and a descaling light. With this array of handy indication features you'll never need to worry about your Tassimo.
Height adjustable cup stand
Adjust the height of the cup stand to accommodate your favourite cup, or remove altogether to fit in travel mugs and latte glasses.
Manual adjustment
With the T4011 it is possible to customise your drink strength using the dedicated manual adjustment button, giving you exactly what you want from your hot drink.
Cable storage facility
The handy cable storage facility contains the 100cm cable, keeping your kitchen surfaces tidy and clutter free.
Low energy consumption
The T4011 boasts an impressively low energy consumption as it automatically reverts to standby mode after every brew cycle, making it incredibly cheap to run.
Virtually no heat up time
Your Tassimo is ready to go in next to no time with the innovative flow heater. This technology means there is a minimal wait for your water to heat to the required temperature, providing you with your much needed morning drink that bit quicker.
Sleek silver design
The modern design in silver will look great in any kitchen and will compliment any décor.

Customer Reviews
Some people may find the drinks sizes small but I tend to prefer espresso so for me it's not a problem. You can also choose to increase the amount of water added if you wish.
The piercing unit/nozzle needs regular cleaning, especially if you have a lot of chocolate and milky drinks but it's easily removed for cleaning. We bought a second nozzle from the Bosch spares site for about a fiver and rotate them through the dishwasher so it's no effort.
I think the Tassimo represents the best compromise of quality and convenience for day to day use of all the machines I've tried. Factor in the great variety of drinks available and it beats the competition outright in my opinion.
This is a great little machine and a big improvement over the old Tassimo machine. This new model machine is more compact and of a higher build quality than the old one. It has a larger 2litre water container which is now much less fiddly than before and can be very quickly removed/refilled with zero effort. You can prepare about 8 drinks before having to fill up the tank.
The hot drink is now prepared immediately with no waiting for the machine to warm up, it now takes 45 seconds from cold to prepare a standard drink - compare this to a kettly boiling which takes about double that time just to heat the water. A second drink can also be prepared immediately after the first without delay.
The quality of drinks is very high, it produces the best at-home hot chocolate that I have ever tasted! This maybe because the hot chocolate is made from syrup rather than the more commonly used powder. The coffee is also great and comes second only to freshly ground coffee - please remember it takes several minutes and a much more expensive machine to prepare coffee from scratch - this machine does an excellent job immitating those machines! I have not tried the tea so can not advise on those flavours.
The T-Discs (pods) themselves vary in price and flavour from brand to brand. Just standard Kenco coffee costs £2.99 (at Asda, Tesco etc) for 16 servings. This prepares a good regular tasting coffee at under 20p per mug. This is the same price for Twining's tea and Suchard's hot chocolate. For something a bit more fancy you can choose latte or cappucino from various brands including Carte Noire, for £2.99 or sometimes £3.49 for 8 servings which works out at 40-50p per cup. These items require 2 discs and so take a little bit longer to prepare.
Overall I would heartily recomend this Tassimo machine to any potential viewers but I must quickly point out a few of the pitfalls.
- You are limited to what coffee/tea/hot chocolate you buy - this is true of other pod coffee machines, but the Tassimo does have a very good selection to choose from.
- The portion size is too small for some people - hot chocolate is only 180ml. Latte/cappucino is 200ml. While most coffees are 300ml.
- Requires some cleaning (but not much)
I don't know if others work in a similar way, but after setting it up, (quite simple) you put one of two pods into a special receptable and press the button. The machine then reads the bar code which tells it whether or not it needs Water and what quantity. Then it delivers to your Cup and when satisfied it's finished, remove the Pod and drop in the second one - usually a liquid. The Machine reads again and follows the Bar code instructions to deliver the perfect cup of whatever you've chosen.
It's an expensive luxury if you want a few cups per day for example as each one will cost an average of 20/25p per cup. However, if like me, you like the differing tastes but don't over do it and can afford it, it's a little luxury worth having it.
If you register onsite and also order, the Pods will arrive in 3/4 days from the Netherlands.
Just the best thing for coffee wish I had got it years agothe costa coffee is so tasty just like in the shop
