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.
Is this one any good Tamara?

Have you looked in the second hand shop in Corralejo Tamara.

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.
I love it when a plan comes together. :D
