Title: Bosch Tassimo coffee machine
Post by: TamaraEnLaPlaya on December 28, 2017, 18:57:10 PM
Hi
Has anyone seen the Tassimo coffee machines for sale on the island? I can only find Nespresso or Dolce Gusto type machines.

I actually only need a new water tank float if anyone has an old machine I can buy for spares (model T40 or T65). The cost of the spares online are making me consider a complete new machine.

Thanks in hope of tracking one down!

Tamara google Espares, a UK company but they will post out here, we have bought numerous bits from them, splash guard for a food mixer, tank for Krupps coffee machine etc.

Thanks John, eSpares was my first stop but I wasn't impressed with the price and then postage on top, as I can only buy a replacement complete water tank rather than just the float. I'm concerned that this might just be the first bit that needs replacing and I might be better off biting the bullet and going for new.
In the past I have used eSpares for parts for my Samsung vacuum and bits for my Tefal Actifry and been pleased with their service, like you.

Deso - you are a star! When I looked in Electron I couldn't see any but I'll be back there tomorrow, brilliant price as well, thank you so much.

Cockney - good idea, thank you, I'll have a look, worth it to end up with a spare to keep the coffee flowing!

To the people who PM'd me, thank you for all your help as well. This forum really has some friendly, helpful souls  :-*.

Should have known, wasn't as easy as just walking in Electron and buying a Tassimo!
Their online catalogue showed 3 in stock when I checked again this morning before hot footing it to Puerto. Searched the store, none to be seen. Waited ages to speak to a member of staff - they were very busy with locals shopping for 3 Kings. Staff assured me they hadn't stocked Tassimos for at least 2 years. I showed her the online catalogue on my phone and she called a manager who denied Tassimo featured in their stock even though I was showing him their website, until I also pointed it out on their stock control sheet showing on the computer screen next to where we were talking! They had a long conversation and then told me the 'in stock' figures on the website are a combination of FV and Lanzarote stores - I could probably go and collect one from Lanzarote! I asked them to bring one to FV which they eventually agreed to, with a wait of 1-2 weeks. We'll see .........  :-\

Well, Electron came through for me. I had a call from them at 9.30pm on Tuesday evening and picked up the machine in Puerto on Wednesday morning.
Thanks for all the help everyone.
