As a coffee drinker I just have to say, it tastes more like hot water than for coffee. Too bad - because that was once much better and also the reason to buy me a Tassimo! The taste was very good indeed! Since you have reduced the capacity of the capsules it tastes no longer. I'd rather pay a little more for good taste! In the "normal" Caffé Crema capsules the taste is still good - the capacity is indeed higher compared. Unfortunately, there is the Tassimo machine is not the possibility to reduce the amount of water (eg small cup) - I have always manually cancel the filling so that the taste is right. Now I'm thinking about myself entirely to abandon Tassimo - for me is one that is primarily the taste and not only the price!
