I don't know much about the Tassimo and I am glad that it works for you. I love the Keurig and the ability to make any coffee I want with the "My K-cup" or the "Solofill cup". I can buy any coffee at the store and make it in the Keurig with those reuseable filters. I also do not mind buying coffee on-line as I do most of my shopping that way anyhow and I find the on-line prices are much better than the local brick and morter stores. I don't know why your Keurig coffee took a couple of minutes, but when I push the Brew button I have coffee pouring into the cup in seconds. But this is what makes this world go around. Different strokes for different folks.
