As glittering snowflakes float past my window, the aroma of fresh-brewed Starbucks cappuccino wafts sweetly through my kitchen. How deliciously odd. Blogging from my log cabin in the woods, no Starbucks in sight, I’m typically resigned to boil water for tea.
Picture a world of tasty delights awakening my senses when a new beverage machine arrived for review. No really. Imagine what that might feel like in your own kitchen because I’m giving a brand new Tassimo T20 BrewBot to one lucky reader for the holidays! (See special purchase offer below too.)
UPDATE: This contest is now closed (but you can still read the review below). Congratulations to Lisa Berkery, winner of the Tassimo Brewbot from ThisOneWildLife.com!
MEET THE T20 BREWBOT
Our household felt we had to thoroughly test our machine (and the box it came in) before offering one to you. Yes, we’re totally jitzed on caffeine but, before heart palpatations render us useless, we shot this video of the BrewBot in action, from setup to that first satisfying sip:
Thanks to the BrewBot, I look forward to serving 23 family members and 2 new boyfriends [not mine] exactly what they want to drink during this year’s holiday celebration. With little real estate for pots of separate hot beverages in our kitchen, the BrewBot will do it all and more, leaving plenty of counter space for cookies and cakes. Cleaning is so simple and all parts slide easily into place. I have to say, my only wish is that the T DISCS were recyclable.
WHAT MAKES THE BREWBOT SO SPECIAL?
- Using bar code technology, the BrewBot reads each beverage T DISC and knows exactly how much water and pressure at which temperature is required to make that perfect cup every time.
- Because brewing takes place inside the T DISC, preparing different drinks, one after another, leaves no flavor transfer from cup to cup.
- Drinks are made in about 1 minute.
- An exclusive flow–through water heater makes for faster, quieter brewing.
- A true space saver, it’s 11 inches long, 7.9 high, and 11.8 deep, and weighs just 7.08 lbs.
- Tassimo offers more than 40 beverage and flavor varieties to satisfy everyone with 13 distinctive beverage brands. (These include Milka, Gevalia, Maxwell House, Suchard, Mastro Lorenzo, Twining’s®, Kenco, Jacob’s, TAZO®, Nabob, Carte Noire, Seattle’s Best Coffee® and Starbucks brands – including Cappuccino Primo and Latte Primo.)

I love the 1 cup at a time idea!!
Favorite feature would be the fact it offers more than 40 beverage and flavor varieties. There is something for every taste bud and You won't grow bored of it. 😀
I really wanted to get one of these for me and the hubby this Christmas but unfortunately finances won't allow that, maybe I will win it if not there's always another time. Good luck everyone!!!!! 🙂
As an avid coffee/tea/espresso drinker, this would be heavenly! Not only can it make drinks…but it can read!:) The barcode-deciphering is a pretty sweet deal. I used to work in a cafe and now that I have immersed myself in the "real" world of 9-5, I really miss those (free) fancy drinks. This would make my morning routine perfect:)
We'd love this! It's been on our wishlist for months!
I'd love it for my Mom. She is not a coffee drinker although all of the kids, son-in-laws and daughter-in-laws are! It would be wonderful to have a decent cup of coffee, let alone a fancy coffee drink, while visiting her. She is out in the middle of nowhere, so we can't even run out for a coffee–it would take an hour round-trip!
This would make all of our visits home so much more enjoyable! Think Mom would get a kick out of using it for guests, too!
My favorite feature is it's size – it will fit perfectly in the Winnebago!! =)
I love that theres no coffee grounds to deal with!
I love that drinks are made in about a minute!! That and it does one cup at a time!!
We purchased the Tassimo this past weekend and we are thrilled with the machine. I love getting that fresh cup of coffee every single time. I am glad we did not purchase the Keurig like we were going to.
I'm so excited because I just ordered my first Tassimo the other day. Can't wait to taste all the coffee disc choices I made. A free FREE Brewbot T20 would be nice for my office.
Can this Brewbot get any better?! The variety it offers is just magical, you can use it for every occasion every day. My favorite feature of the Brewbot would have to be its simplicity and easy to use feature. The technology is so fascinating! How can it create over 40 beverages in one cute machine? It's amazing and I hope to own one!
I've wanted one of these from day one!! Fingers are crossed. Merry Christmas, me! (oh boy, I hope!)
i LOVE how its qquiter then the rest! the one i have now is so loud it wakes up the whole house! i hope i win one so i dint have to wake everyone up!!
I love that there is so much variety with the drinks and the flavors. I also have to be honest here…I love the fact that they have color inserts…how fun is that?

I love the no flavor transfer if you brew two different kinds of coffee back to back and that it takes less than a minute

I love the barcode technology feature. I think that it's so cool that by reading the bar code, you get the perfect cup!

I love how cute it is. I have a mambo jumbo coffee pot now that doesn't fit under my cabinets. so it sits out in the middle of my counter (and i hate it)

I think the best feature is, that you can make more than one drink. Coffee, Tea, Cappuccino, Latte and Hot Chocolate. I would love it for my kids too. They love Hot Chocolate.

i love the fact it can make so many different drinks
I liked and commented on tassimo fb page
my wife really wants this she drinks everything it makes
Favorite feature hands down is that in the morning, when my neurons refuse to fire until infused with caffeine, this loving, caring, partner reads the package for me via barcode and delivers the sustenance my brain is craving in about a minute. 🙂
I love that it brews Starbucks….which sadly, my Keurig does NOT 🙁
Was I supposed to mention that i followed all the steps and added them? because I did…. just wanted to make sure since i saw people adding that in their comments, better to be safe than sorry.ha ha
No Diana, you don't have to tally all your entries here. Once one person did, everybody started. I'm monitoring all three spaces and have all your entries recorded. Good luck! 🙂
We only need comment once then?
Correct. Just comment here about your favorite feature. You don't have to leave separate comments about your tweet or how you wrote on Facebook. It won't hurt or help your chances, and it was never required. Best of luck!
I LOVE that I could make me a cup of expresso in ONE MINUTE!!
Thanks so much for the quick answer! Easy to fulfill requests! I did finish the fulfillments AFTER my first comment. lol…the tweet 😉 and I subscribed to your feeds. Looking forward to hearing things you have to say *Appreciate

Thank you all for playing! It's been great fun to read your comments. I wish you all the very merriest of holidays.
My favorite feature is that it only makes 1 cup at a time. I'm the only coffee drinker (addict) in the house. 😀
