Independent summary

The exact TAS112EGB is only 17.1cm wide, has virtually no claimed heat-up delay and uses each T DISC barcode to set water, temperature and time automatically. The £39.99 checked direct price includes free small-appliance delivery, but the appliance price is a small part of ownership: current examples cost about 35.6p for Kenco Americano and 90.6p for a two-disc Costa Cappuccino.

Best for

A compact, low-upfront-cost machine for households prioritising branded drink variety over low ongoing cost

Watch out for

It accepts Tassimo T DISCs only. At two drinks a day, the checked examples model at roughly £260 a year for Americano or £662 for cappuccino before price changes—far more than the machine. Milk recipes can require two sequential discs, so compare stated drinks per pack rather than disc count. Bosch still displayed £39.99 after its stated promotion end date, so confirm checkout. Independent taste, temperature, noise, energy and reliability tests remain pending, so no CoffeeScore is published.

Tassimo T DISC capsules

T DISCs only; Bosch's barcode reader sets the drink programme for each disc. Some milk drinks use two discs, so the pack's stated cup count—not its disc count—is the useful cost figure.
