Product Information

The TAS5542 Coffee Machine is a replacement for many components of the affordable models of this coffee maker. However, this is an upgraded version which is responsible for the sturdier, and superior quality of this Tassimo unit. If you love Tassimo coffee but would prefer your shot to be longer, stronger or hotter, the My Way 2 is the machine for you. Unlike many Tassimo machines, you’re able to alter the drink settings each time you brew, and if you find a combination you want to revisit, you can save up to four favourites in the machine, so there’s no need to toggle the settings every time.

On top of all these, there are also additional buttons which would enable you to modify the length of your brew duration. Aside from this, it also goes with an efficient cable storage solution that can help in keeping most wires out of sight. Debenhams.

Prepare your delicious hot drinks with this innovation in the comfort of your home.The control panel also includes the descale alert and “fill water tank” symbols, which will light up when either of those actions is necessary.

Nevertheless, My Way 2 – as it says in the name – allows for some modifications, such as making your drink slightly shorter. Extracting from same espresso pods gave me about 75ml on the small, 85ml on the medium and 95ml on the large cup setting. (You can’t go rogue and extract a full americano out of an espresso pod meant for a latte. It’s likely Tassimo knows best here and it wouldn’t be a nice result anyway.) Bosch Tassimo My Way 2 coffee quality – Coffee tastes good, but sweetened milk is mostly a let-down A light also comes on when it's time to refill the machine, which happened about once a day in a house of frequent coffee drinkers. I suspect that this is because the filter takes up a lot of space in the tank itself, so while the capacity may be 1.3 litres, the actual capacity is more like one litre.

When it comes to the manufacturing of coffee makers, and any other products related to it, Bosch is a name that is always mentioned. It has always been synonymous to happy consumers and that remains the same up until now. As a proof to this, they have a popular creation – the Tassimo coffee maker, which continues to develop and improve as the time progresses.

The machine also stops you from running water through the same pod twice unless you open the brewing unit and close it again – another example of an automatic safety/quality measure. Like all Tassimo’s machines, it features the Intellibrew barcode technology – essentially a tiny scanner inside the unit that will read the code on your chosen pod and automatically adjust brewing time, water and temperature levels. The machine is always aware which type of pod it is extracting and doesn’t allow for nonsensical adjustments like tweaking coffee strength on a cup of milk. Known as one of the biggest units in the family, this weighs around 3.5kg and measures 30 x 20 x 30 centimetres. Compared to the many newer models out there, this is ideal if you are from a hard-water area. This does not only have a Brita water filter, but it has almost 4x of them. This is ideal both for your taste buds and as well as machine internals. Using intellibrew, the Tassimo single cup brewer is the only system that measures the right time, the right amount of water and the right temperature to make sure your drink is perfectly brewed each and every time.

You need to wipe the dispenser from below the mount and at the base of the machine.

Pricier models also has a liquid crystal display which helps in personalizing your drink and tells you when it’s time to descale your machine or when it’s time to refill the tank. At the front, there’s a drip tray that adjusts into four positions depending on the size of your cup, a pad of touch-sensitive buttons to toggle presets for coffee strength, temperature and amount of water, as well as to save your four favourite settings.
