Daily Cup of Love
If you know me, you know that I love coffee. You know that I really don’t function without—at least—one cup of the black elixir in the morning. You know that I love to grind my own beans. You know that my favorite coffee mug is a TABASCO one I got on my honeymoon in 1995. You know that I am particularly fond of iced coffee from that place with the green straw. You know that I’m not loyal to one brand of coffee, but I am loyal to bold flavor and consistency. And, you know I make one killer pot of coffee.
My love affair with coffee started later in life. There was a time where I would fill up a big, blue cup of ice and Coca Cola (not diet, mind you), getting a big huge dose of caffeine and sugar together. I only started drinking coffee when I would hit a coffee shop, late at night, with a girlfriend, where we’d write poetry in leather-bound journals, smoke cigarettes and laugh at the strange folk we’d encounter.
Those late night coffee trysts turned into morning coffee-computer time. Morning coffee-computer time then evolved into coffee-gab time with a girlfriend, on her wooden deck, in the afternoon or an iced coffee playdate at the park. It didn’t take too long to turn me into a full-fledged coffee snob. I’m talking an I-don’t-even-need-any-sugar-just-give-me-bold-flavor-and-I’m-in-heaven coffee snob!
When I went to Housewares in Chicago I met Bosch. You know Bosch? The third largest appliance manufacturer in the world. Well, they introduced me to the Tassimo, a whole new way to prepare and enjoy coffee. The Tassimo allows you to prepare one drink, of your choice, any time you want—no fuss, no muss! This was bound to make my afternoon coffee consumption effortless. Not only would it be easy to make a cuppa-cuppa, but I could now enjoy an espresso or cappuccino (without the full production of a fancy espresso machine, one which I do not have).
I love this baby! It’s easy to use, and it’s super easy to clean, the instructions aren’t hard to follow, it’s beautifully designed, and doesn’t take up too much counter space.
I love it so much that I’m going to make it super easy for you to have a Tassimo T65 of your very own.
(I’m sorry, but the giveaway is only open to those in the US.)
Just leave a comment and tell me how you take your coffee. It’s that simple. I’ll announce the winner a week from today on May 11th!
Now, if you will, please excuse me while I go make myself a Latte Macchiato!
[Disclosure: Bosch provided me with my Tassimo T65, but I was not paid to write this post or do the giveaway. The opinions and sentiments reflected in this post are purely my own.]

Plain black, hot or iced.
Coffee. I don’t get it. LOL. I can’t stand the stuff, and additionally I’ve caffeine free for about a year and a half. More power to you, though. :)
I’m a diet coke girl…but I’ve heard that it makes a mean hot chocolate, too. Love love love hot chocolate!
I drink my coffee strong and black :) *Thanks* for the giveaway!
yum!!! LOVE espresso and mochas!
I have been looking for a cute little machine like this. I like my coffee with hazelnut flavoring and cream. And hot!
I like my really hot with a lot of flavored creamer (usually french vanilla, but I switch it up once in a while)
I don’t drink coffee… but my husband takes it black with just a little cream. :)
Like my grandma made it …lots of sugar and some condensed milk.
oh mishi… i am a starbucks jerk. i order mine 1/2 caff, nonfat, no foam with vanilla. or a dark cherry mocha. and oh, i lust lust lust after a tassimo.
strong and black baby! and often….oh yes, very often!
*hugs*
Any way I can get it. I love it in all forms, except decaf. There’s just no point there.:)
I take mine plain please!
I take my coffee with eyes closed, with cats circling my ankles mewing in their insistent manner, black elixir of life, strong and aromatic, gonna work my way through each delicious flavor of Gevalia crack of dawn ecstasy, serious black – please only black, no additives or distractions, as hot and stiff as I can tolerate. That’s how I take my coffee.
I like simplicity and variety… apparently this machine delivers both! A bold cup of black gold in the morning drives me to get through the day. A sweet indulgence in the evening puts me at ease. Would love to make this a part of my life!
I love my coffee with lots of cream and sugar. I can’t help it, I’m a sweets girl! (And I have a friend that works at Bosch! haha)
I am in love with my Keurig, but I would be willing to cheat with the Tassimo if it gave me the right wink.
I take my coffee with my eyes half shut. well ok at least the first cup. My husband drinks it all day long, you have no idea what kinda of awesomeness this Keurig would bring into our sleepy lives…
1 sugar and plenty of cream :)
I take mine with plenty of flavored creamer and half n half.
