King of Joe Espresso Coffee T-Discs for Tassimo Brewing Systems (16 T-Discs)

I purchase King of Joe Espresso quite regularly, and always keep it stocked in the drawer under our Tassimo. I must admit that I feel a little guilty for using single-use coffee discs because of the waste involved. If you find a way to reliably recycle them, I'd love to know. In the mean time before our machine quits working (we've had it now for 3 years, a Bosch), I will keep this type of coffee in the regular stable of choices we have at home. This disc yields a nice bold doppio size shot with a quality foam head on the top. I like it with some hot water added as an Americano, or sometimes I brew it right on top of ice in a tumbler, add a little cream and water, and I've got myself a great iced drink. This stuff is never bitter, excellent tasting, and super quick. It's a bargain compared to Starbucks.

I'm kind of an espresso snob and am a big fan of this espresso. It's very strong, in both taste and caffeine punch, which I love. It's even good cold, for those mornings I totally forget I made espresso and then re-discover the two-ounce pour in my mug a few hours later. The only thing I regret is the lack of recyclable packaging. I would seriously pay double for recyclable packaging, guys. Or refillable. I feel terrible throwing this plastic disc out every day. But apparently I do feel worse when I don't have my espresso.

I would order nothing else but this coffee. Its terrific in the TASSIMO brewer, and its priced great. It comes out like an espresso should. In a 2 oz shot, not like the Keurigs which give you a 4 oz espresso which is unheard of in snob coffee circles. So whether you're drinking it straight up or in an iced coffee, this KING JOE Is delicious. Its highly recommended and comes at a great price. Good shipping and came on time as well. We order no other espresso other than this one! Thanks!

great product. product title and description are a bit misleading, however. the title lists 4.45oz. this is NOT fluid oz. of brewed espresso. the description list each serving as making 8 fluid oz. NOT TRUE. ***these discs make approx. 2 fluid oz. each.*** amazon needs to correct this detail. it would be great if King of Joe did make this product in an 8 fl. oz. disc. i have found that i can brew each individual disc twice to make a single serving and still have a great strong good flavored espresso - not watery, bitter, or weak. try it once for yourself.

Okay, I roast my own coffee beans, I grind them by hand (Zassenhaus), I dial in my shots ... I am <ahem> a coffee snob, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. When I'm feeling lazy -- something that happens in spurts around here -- this is my fallback double-shot. I can't honestly say that my own shots are vastly superior; some are, some aren't. The Tassimo delivers exactly the same shot every freakin' time, no matter what. There is no roasting, no grinding, no weighing, no timing ... just enjoyment. If you're an occasionally lazy home-roaster -- or just someone who wants a good machine-shot -- this is it. [Hint: Go for the "Add-On" product, and save huge money over time! Contrast a buck a brew versus USD 0.60/double shot of perfectly acceptable espresso with crema that goes on forever, and this is the winner hands-down.

Taste good and expensive.

This is excellent coffee! It is difficult enough to get decent coffee in the USA (yes, I am a coffee snob), but this one I approve of. It is even a great espresso. I learned to drink espresso in Italy, so I know what it should taste like. And while King Joe espresso is still not quite there, it is very good. And of course I love Tassimo as it is just so easy to get a cup of coffee. Turn the machine on, insert a t-disc and press a button. When I wake up in the morning that is just about the level of difficulty I can deal with. A note on pricing: For some odd reason it is cheaper to buy the 16-pack then to buy any other amount. So, if you need a lot, just buy multiple 16-packs. Recommended!

I love my lattes. But I am not a fan of the milk pods that tassimo has. Just never tastes real to me. So I want just the espresso to make my own lattes. And this makes a great one. I am a Starbucks addict, and the lattes I make using these pods are comparable in flavour and taste to me. I put just over a cup of 2% milk in a pyrex 4 cup glass jug. I take my stick blender, and froth up the milk for like 20 seconds. I put the jug in the microwave for 2 mins. While that is in the microwave, I brew my pod of espresso. By the time it has finished brewing, I have hot milk in the microwave. I pour that over the top. And I have a latte. If you like sweet latte, you can easily add syrups. For me the most sweetness I can tolerate is a sprinkle of chocolate powder.
