the tassimo uses small flat discs that go into the machine and they have a bar code printed on them that the machine reads. the machine is rather square in shape. there is no coffeepot; there is a place to insert the cup. behind this is a water tank. the disc fits on top of the machine; you open up a lid and insert the disc in a certain way. i like it because it is quick, easy and convenient; no mess. i get my discs from amazon, which has quite a good selection. i lead an extremely busy life between work and other activities. yes, they are a bit pricey, but i feel that i have reached a stage in my life where i can enjoy a few pricey things. i don't go clubbing or anything like that, and this is one of my small luxuries.
