A couple of things about the Tassimo. Go to the website and see what
the disks have in them, as I remember it, it is more than just coffee.

And most of the cups produced are of the much smaller 'european' style.
One of the discs was called something 'petit' and I jokingly said that
meant 1/2 a cup of coffee...

And many of their discs are nearly a dollar each...
