I have owned a Tassimo Joy for around 5 years, I tend to buy L’Or espresso capsules as they have a bold flavour and have varying strengths, but for the days I need an extra kick I may only have mid-level capsules, so I would have a double. Step in the Tassimo My Way, an incredibly easy machine to use, now I get to have not only a stronger coffee, but I can choose a shorter or longer coffee too, all from the same pod. I currently only have L’Or Delizioso, but it turns out a lovely strong coffee. As for other drinks, my wife has Caramel Latte Macchiato, the biggest benefit she finds in this machine is the ability to change the temperature of her drink, if she is taking one to work she will have it hotter, if she is drinking one in the house she will have it slightly cooler. You will get a coffee exactly as you want it, the only downside is there are so many variables when it comes to 2 capsule drinks it may take a few tries, but they all come out amazingly, so it’s no chore. As for ease of use, my 3 year old can use it, I also have my 67 year old, very useless with tech father here for lockdown, even he has found it easy, you just touch what you want to change, for example if you want a stronger coffee press 3 beans, want it shorter press the small coffee. Then when you’ve got your perfect cup just hold a number and it’s saved for you. I cannot comment on cleaning yet as I’ve not needed to, a standard clean is simply using the orange disc, but the biggest clean you’ll ever need with one of these machines is if you pierce the disc incorrectly (usually by not paying attention and using a lot of force) this happened twice with my old machine, coffee and grounds get everywhere inside the disc holder, the Joy was a nightmare, you couldn’t get into the nooks and crannies, whereas this machine seems to open wider, with easier access to the barcode reader. Setup is very easy, you’ll be getting amazing Brita Filtered coffees in minutes, the large capacity tank means you’ll have to fill less than others, the one issue I found with the Joy is that the tank had to be tilted back, then pulled out, so if it were close to a wall you’d have to move the machine just to fill the tank, the My Way has a lift off tank which is idiot-proof. Also loading the tank back in feels far less worrying than the joy, the lid is on the tank itself, whereas the Joy used the machine itself to cover the tank, so when it’s brimmed I would often spill a little when tilting it back in.

This was a Christmas gift. It has gone down a storm in the house, my kids now appear to be becoming part of the artisan cafe culture. Its easy to use, cleans itself after each drink and the water tank holds plenty of water. What I really like about this model is that you can makes the drinks your way. There are 3 strength settings, 3 cup size settings and even an extra hot setting. These apply to your basic coffees, not necessarily the chocolates. Tassimo have now set up a pod recycling service as well which I really like. The coffees are nice, smell good and easy to make. It is not necessarily full on Barista level but given the cost I was not expecting that. Its been less than a month and this machine has had a load of use. Lets see how it lasts but as of right now I'm a big fan.

After my La Pavoni Europiccolo (£500+) finally gave up the ghost after five years or so and my Nemox Grinder (£200+) disintegrated not long after, I capitulated and bought one of these machines, because I simply can't afford to replace these items. And I got fed up experimenting with different coffee beans and their optimum grind parameters. I'm not an espresso afficionado, I prefer my coffee with milk and just a hint of sugar. I've just made my first L'OR Latte Machiato coffee and I simply cannot believe how incredibly good it tastes. It's so good that I'm going to make another one as soon as I've finished writing this comment. And then perhaps another one after that! Wow, no more fuss and trial and error, no more bitterness, no more mess to clear up, just great tasting coffee at the press of a couple of buttons! I'm finally in my coffee heaven after many years of hit and miss attempts at becoming a home barista.

Omg the instructions are a nightmare to follow and very poorly thought out. After an hour we resorted to manual exploration and trial and error. Finally success! It is actually easy to use though you would never know it from the endless small diagrams, numbers and sometimes odd names that tell us nothing. A written example of how to make something simple very complicated. Now the moan is over I can say I love it. Its so easy to use, a pleasing to look at apparatus to look at, & the symbols are self explanatory really, and it makes fabulous frothy, smooth coffee in a very short time and fills the kitchen with the heavenly aroma of roasted coffee. This would've got five stars if it were not for the instructions.

Purchased as a present for family relative staying with us. Found it very easy to use with a good selection of drinks available. Easy to clean. Coffee/drink pods recyclable which is a plus. A shame the relative took the machine with her when she found her own home.

I purchased this as I had the old style one. I really love Tess and my drinks and this machine is really good. Has a built-in water filter. You can out the amount of drink and strength. I think this is the best one I’ve made. I love it.

My way 2 is the one with britta filter and large water tank and it is really good. Put your favourite temperature, strength and it saves it so all you have to do is press and it makes it your way. I would like more coffee choices in the t pods but hopefully they will come. Well worth the money
