Using the cleaning disc in Tassimo coffee maker, why does it only give me 1/2 cup of water (I would like a cup of tea)?

It is pre-programmed to spin out the amount of water required to rinse the unit, which for me is 1/2 a mug or 1 coffee cup. I agree with other commenters that using this for hot water is at your own risk, as it may pour out residue from previous drinks made. Mine was often brown from coffee residue.

should never use cleaning disk..... that simply is to clean residue in maker. Use tea discs only or boil water on stove, safe way to do it.

I have no answer for you .One thought I have is clean the bar code reader or cycle the machine twice .Another thought is to check the owners manual and see what it says .I see no reason not to use the cleaning disc for hot water as your not running the chemical through it . Hope this helps.

I just zap my mug with water in it for about a minute, then dump the hot water out and brew into the hot mug, works much better for me. My husband likes the tepid brew though, weirdo.

Do you use cold water? Mine has a small amount of steam, but the coffee is still great! Be sure you have it directly on the cup emblem. I don't use the steamer for my creamer. I just use the nuke. Good luck! Try using a dollop of frozen "cool whip" on top. It adds that foamy topping. I also use the full pot of water, so that may be why I have more steam.

I always make 1 or 2 cups only, so, I don't have this problem... Don't make a lot of coffee as well. :)

was told by Dolce Gusto customer service that we should never leave water in the tank, in other words, just put enough water to brew coffee and then remove tank, empty it and replace. Mine's been taken away today and I won't be seeing it for nearly a month. Hope they can fix problem as I have a large stock of coffee that cost me a lot of money.

I fill a coffee cup approx 3/4 of the way with 2% milk (froths more than Vit D). I put it under the steamer for 1 minute - after 1 minute I pull the mug down so that the tip of the steamer (where the steam comes out) sits at the top of the milk and froths until it reaches the top of the mug........ I get about 2-3 teaspoons of froth this way......if you want more froth use less milk in the mug. I hope this helps!!

I occasionally make only 2 cups; it works satisfactorily. I do make sure the tea bags are stuffed down into the bottom of the basket and I may allow another minute of brewing time. Three or more cups is ideal.

No, Tassimo is propriety. It uses a barcode system that can only read a T disc. However, you can consider the option of a re-filling a disc with regular coffee if you prefer other brands than what they sell

Hello Vera, I don't know why - all I can say is how I use it, and that I am happy. I use the typical round filters on top of the filter supplied, since I do not wish to clean it each time. I use a mug, so it takes 2 1/2 scoops for the strong coffee I love. My mug and the supplied mug hold the same amount of liquid. I timed it, and it takes 3 1/2 minutes from the time you push the button until it stops dripping. I then tip the unit to get every drop, remove the paper filter, and I have my morning coffee, the way I like it and saved a ton of money rather than the premeasured pods. It shuts itself off after the 3 1/2 minutes is up; but you cannot turn it off once it is on. It is so small, it would easily fit in my travel case when I go out of town. I am so happy with this that I am giving it as a Xmas gift as well. It is exactly what I wanted! I hope all this helps you, and you are welcome to ask me any other questions you may have. Happy Thanksgiving, Suzanne

I have not had that problem to date. I have noticed, however, that the only way for me to fill the water tank is somewhat at a slow pour rate so none of the water splashes out and into the body of the coffee maker. Could that possibly be the problem you are experiencing? A side note here...I, too, experience a continual blinking of the 'clean' light even after thoroughly cleaning the unit. I would NOT have purchased this unit except for the ability to fill the water from the front without constantly moving the unit back and forth under the cupboards just to fill the water reservoir. On the whole, I would NOT purchase this unit again...but it was inexpensive and ya get what ya pay for. I have not had that problem to date.

Steven, I'm not certain what your problem is in using this filter. Does the bottom of your filter have a tiny hole in it? Without this hole the filter will not properly seat and the top of the Keurig will not open so water can be added. I used an ice pick to make a hole in mine. Of course the hole must be in the correct location. Good luck and maybe this solution will help you.

Yes, I got grounds too with the first few cups I made with the Tassimo......but then we got the hang of it. The problem was we were too shy about 'locking down the "brew mechanism" tightly enough.

Maybe if some type of a filter is used. From the very beginning of using my product I noticed that the. Appliance doesn't keep the coffee as hot, like if the heating element is not working right.

I put half cleaning white vinegar and half water in reservoir. Push the clean button and turn coffee maker on, like making coffee. run thru cycle then run 2nd cycle thru with just water. Hope this helps

You might try using less coffee beans in the grinder. Also, try using the "1-4" feature, so that the water flows a little bit slower.

No you can't. The Tassimo pods have a bar code on them to tell the machine how much water to use.
