I am one of those people who simply cannot do anything without coffee in my system. I am not at all ashamed to admit it, in fact I would say I am rather proud of it. I just don't function well without some of that warm, smoky, delicious liquid in my bloodstream. My kids know not to talk to me until I've had at least a few sips of my morning cuppa, and when it comes to getting anything done, work, household chores, even running, I can't do it without some coffee in my system. Or at least, I don't do it very well.
I've worked in any number of professional settings in my time, and the coffee was always terrible. It was usually those big machines that made a whole pot at once, which would sit there and develop that awful burned flavour. And no one ever wanted to be in charge of cleaning out the pots at the end of the day. In one place of employment, a coworker and I started a campaign to get a one-cup coffee maker so that we could have fresh coffee whenever we wanted it. Admittedly, the campaign went nowhere because we never really got past the planning stages. But there is no question that it was a good idea. Single Serve coffee makers are perfect for offices large and small, so that the employees can have fresh coffee without the waste.

Lucky me, I am getting the opportunity to test drive a new Tassimo Professional Brewer and it's on its way as I write this. Since I no longer work in an office enviroment, my husband has happily agreed to allow me to bring it to his office so he and his coworkers can try it out. I have a feeling that I am going to be a pretty popular lady around those parts!
The Tassimo Professional Brewer is quite the machine, it would seem. It doesn't just brew single-serve coffee, but it also makes cappuccinos and lattes using Gevalia coffee and real milk creamer. I'm a sucker for a good cappuccino, so that's the feature I am excited to try. The Tassimo Brewer also brews Twinings Tea and Suchard Hot Chocolate. With such premium brands available in their T Discs, I don't see how this machine won't be a hit. I wish it had existed back when we were trying to get a coffee maker like this into our office, I might have campaigned a little harder!

I have to say, the folks at Tassimo are pretty smart about creating single serve coffee makers for the workplace. They've designed the Tassimo Pro Brewer so that the T Discs cannot be used at home. Each T Disc has a double bar code that makes it incompatible with home Tassimo Brewers, meaning that employees can't pocket the discs. The brewer also has an LCD display for clear instructions for brewing and maintenance, and brews specialty drinks in under 2 minutes.

It certainly looks like a great machine, and my husband's officemates are looking forward to my visit.
