Keurig K-Cup System vs. Tassimo System
One of the most common questions we receive is a comparison of two major single serve brewing systems, Tassimo and Keurig. Here are the key similarities: 1. Both units use a pressurized hot water delivery system that punctures the coffee vessel (k-cup
or t-disc) and forces hot water through the vessel for delivery. Here are the key differences: Tassimo: 1. Uses a smart bar code reader to read the coded t-disc lid. Based on the product the Tassimo will adjust brew time, temperature and amount of water for an optimized drink.
Keurig: 1. Uses multiple sensors to measure cups size as selected by the user to give the appropriate amount of water as desired. The
Keurig relies on the user to determine the final brewed product, through K-Cup and drink size selection. Keurig offers some K-Cups
that are "extra bold", which contain more coffee than a standard K-Cup for a stronger brew.
The bottom line... Tassimo is a newer, more technologically advanced system that can brew more authentic drinks like espressos and lattes. However at this time, the systems and pods are a little more expensive and there are fewer choices. The Keurig system relies more on the coffee drinker to brew the perfect cup, but is less expensive and holds more options. Over time we believe each single serve system will continue to evolve and improve the experiences of coffee drinkers everywhere. |
