Tassimo – The Art of the Perfect Cup  
Thank you for purchasing the Tassimo hot  
beverage machine. With Tassimo, you can  
now enjoy your favourite hot beverage any  
time. Rich filter coffee, intense espresso,  
delicate caffè crema, indulgent cappuccino,  
even hot chocolate* and tea are yours at  
the touch of a button.  
The Tassimo machine is designed to work exclusively with  
special pods called Tassimo Discs (T-DISCS). T-DISCS contain  
precisely measured amounts of coffee, tea, chocolate*  
and concentrated milk**. The internal components of the  
T-DISC™ are uniquely tailored to each beverage and guide  
the flow through the Tassimo machine.  
+
=
When you insert a T-DISC, the Tassimo machine reads  
the bar code printed on the label. This tells the machine  
exactly the size of drink, the brewing time and the precise  
temperature required to make your beverage. T-DISCS  
make a perfect team with the Tassimo machine and  
ensure exceptional beverage quality every single time,  
no matter what you choose to drink. T-DISCS are  
available in stores where you typically buy coffee.  
Your package contains  
the following:  
Please read these instructions carefully and completely before using the appliance.

• Quick Start Card  
• Cleaning Disc  
• User Instructions  
• Cleaning Tool

T-DISCS can be stored in their carton dispenser or if you prefer,  
you can transfer them to another container. Whilst you should  
always store your T-DISCS in a cool, dry place, it is not necessary  
to keep them in the refrigerator. Do not keep T-DISCS in the freezer.  
If unopened, your T-DISCS are good until the ‘best before date’ on

other cups. For larger mugs, you can also temporarily remove both the drip tray and the  
cup stand; however, these should be replaced right after brewing. Always keep the  
splashback in place while brewing.

Preparing your machine for use  
PLEASE NOTE:  
IMPORTANT  
Before using your Tassimo machine for the first time, you must  
prepare it by following the procedure below. Your Tassimo machine comes  
with a cleaning disc to use for rinsing and descaling the machine.  
• This appliance is intended for household use only.  
• Place the appliance on a dry, flat and fixed surface  
and keep it out of reach of children.  
• Never use warm water, sparkling water or milk to  
fill the water container.  
Rinse the water container, fill it to “max” with fresh  
cold water and place it on the machine. Check that the  
water container is inserted in the slot of the back of the  
machine. Connect the machine to the electrical supply  
and press the on/off switch located on the back of the  
machine. All the indicator lights will flash. Place a large  
cup (at least 200ml) on the adjustable cup stand.  
• Never open the brew mechanism during brewing.  
In “Auto Mode”, always wait for the indicator light  
to move from AUTO to MANUAL before opening the  
brew mechanism. In “Manual Mode”, take your  
finger off the start/stop button and wait until  
the machine has stopped before opening the  
brew mechanism.  
Open the brew mechanism, position the cleaning  
disc on the T-DISC holder, bar code facing down.  
Firmly close the brew mechanism by pressing the  
clamp down until it shuts.  
• For some drinks, the brew cycle includes a 10  
second pause after the initial influx of water. This  
pause is normal and allows the water to fully  
saturate the product before brewing continues.  
• If during brewing you can hear the machine running  
but no drink is produced, stop the cycle by pressing  
and releasing the start/stop button. Open the  
brew mechanism carefully and slowly, and discard  
the T-DISC. Try again with a fresh T-DISC.  
Wait five seconds then press and release the start/  
stop button to start the machine. You will hear the  
machine run for a short period to fill the internal water  
heater. When the machine stops running, the STANDBY  
light will illuminate.  
• After 10 minutes of non-use, the STANDBY light  
will illuminate. If you are not going to use your  
machine for an extended period, turn it off using  
the on/off switch.  
Open the brew mechanism and close it again leaving  
the cleaning disc in place. The orange HEATING light  
will begin to flash. Wait about a minute until the green  
AUTO light illuminates then press and release the  
start/stop button. The machine will fill the cup with  
water. When the machine stops running, empty the cup  
and place it back on the adjustable cup stand. Repeat  
this step in its entirety.  
• Braun electric appliances meet applicable safety  
standards. Repairs on electric appliances (including  
cord replacement) must only be carried out by  
authorised Braun service centres. Faulty, unqualified  
repair work may cause accidents or injury to the user.  
• This machine is not suitable for use at altitudes  
above 2000 metres.  
Open the brew mechanism and remove the cleaning  
disc. The HEATING light will illuminate. Do not discard the  
cleaning disc after use – you will need it for flushing and  
descaling the appliance. Your machine is now ready to use.

How to use the machine – Auto Mode  
Rinse and fill the water container with fresh cold water. Turn on  
the machine by pressing the on/off switch. Open the brew  
mechanism. Opening the brew mechanism will initiate the  
heating of the water and the HEATING light will flash.  
Open the brew mechanism, remove the T-DISC and discard.  
Your drink is now ready to be enjoyed.  
You can prepare the next beverage right away by repeating  
steps 2 – 5.  
Place a clean cup on the cup stand, adjusting the height of the  
stand up or down so that the rim of the cup is close to the  
brew mechanism.  
• Always remove the used T-DISC from the machine right after  
brewing. When removing the T-DISC, handle it by the thumb  
tab to avoid contact with heated areas.  
• To adjust the cup stand, insert your finger in the centre  
• Please ensure that there is enough water in the water  
container. If the water level is too low, all the indicator lights  
will flash, signalling that the water container needs to  
be refilled.  
of the stand, lift and turn.  
• To avoid spilling over, please choose the right sized cup for  
the drink you are making. See page 3 “Tips for the Perfect Cup”.  
Position your choice of T-DISC on the T-DISC holder, label facing  
down. Firmly close the brew mechanism by pressing the clamp  
down until it shuts. The HEATING light may flash again as the  
machine heats the water to the required temperature for  
your drink.  
When the AUTO light illuminates, press and release the start/  
stop button. Brewing will start automatically. There may be  
a short pause during brewing; this is normal. The AUTO light  
flashes throughout the brew cycle. When the machine has  
finished brewing, the indicator light will move from AUTO to  
MANUAL and then, after a delay of 30 seconds, to HEATING.  
• When the indicator light moves to MANUAL, you can customise  
your cup as described in “Manual Mode” (See page 8).  
• At any time during the “Auto Mode”, you can stop the brew cycle  
by pressing and releasing the start/stop button. The machine  
will stop and any remaining liquid inside the T-DISC will empty  
into the cup.

Cleaning  
Descaling  
Regularly clean your Tassimo machine to ensure best results;  
a simple cleaning schedule (every two days) will keep your Tassimo  
machine working at full potential. Always unplug the appliance  
before cleaning. Never immerse the appliance in water. Never use  
abrasive cleaning products or scouring materials on any part of  
the Tassimo machine. All the removable pieces are dishwasher safe  
except the water container which must be hand washed.  
Descale your Tassimo machine every three months to keep it  
operating at full potential.  
Descaling products are widely available from stores selling coffee makers and espresso  
machines. Only use a product intended for descaling. Mix the descaling product  
directly in the water container, following the instructions provided on the descaling  
packaging. Replace the water container on the machine.  
Place a large cup or mug on the cup stand, insert the cleaning disc barcode down  
and close the brew mechanism. When the AUTO light illuminates press and release the  
start/stop button. The brew cycle will fill the machine with descaling solution. Empty  
the cup and let the machine stand for 15 minutes.  
Machine Exterior  
• The outside of the machine should be wiped down as necessary with a damp soft  
cloth and washing up liquid. Always hand wash the water container.  
Open the brew mechanism and close it again leaving the cleaning disc in place.  
When the AUTO light illuminates press and release the start/stop button. When the  
machine stops running, empty the cup and let the machine stand for 15 minutes.  
Repeat this step two more times for maximum descaling effectiveness. Discard the  
remaining descaling agent from the water container, rinse it thoroughly and refill  
with fresh cold water.  
• It is normal for the removable drip tray to collect water during the brewing process:  
regularly check the water level in the drip tray and empty it when it fills or at least  
once a day. The drip tray, cup stand, and splashback should be removed and  
cleaned; the splashback should be securely positioned before reinserting the drip  
tray and cup stand.  
Open and close the brew mechanism again leaving the cleaning disc in place. When  
the AUTO light illuminates press and hold the start/stop button to flush water  
through the machine. The MANUAL light will illuminate. When the cup is full, release the  
start/stop button and empty the cup. Replace the cup and press and hold the  
start/stop button to continue flushing until the water container is empty. Refill  
the water container with fresh cold water and repeat this step.  
Machine Interior and Brew Mechanism  
• The inside of the brew mechanism should be wiped with a damp soft cloth and  
washing up liquid. A specially developed cleaning tool is included for cleaning the  
bar code reading window. Clean the window on a regular basis to ensure that  
the Tassimo machine can clearly read the bar code on the T-DISC.  
• The piercing unit and T-DISC holder are easily removable and are dishwasher safe.  
Separate the piercing unit into two parts to clean it. The piercing unit can be  
quickly rinsed between beverages if desired.  
Remove the cleaning disc, rinse and refill the water container. Your machine is now  
ready to use.  
• You can use the cleaning disc to flush the inside of the machine between drinks.  
Simply place the cleaning disc on the T-DISC holder, firmly close the brew  
mechanism and run clean water into an empty cup as described in “Preparing Your  
Machine for Use”. This process should also be followed if the machine has been left  
unused for more than two days.  
• After using a milk or chocolate* T-DISC, it is recommended that you first rinse the  
piercing unit and then flush the machine using the cleaning disc.
