It might be easiest to place your Tassimo in the kitchen area, or another section of your home that gets a lot of traffic.

Don’t overfill the water tank, or the machine might not work properly. Refill the water tank whenever you see the empty cup LED illuminated on the control panel. Whenever this icon is lit up, remove the back water tank and refill the container up to the “MAX” line. [4] X Research source

When you fill the tank 3 times, you only need to submerge the filter.

When you press this button, the LEDs will light up orange. This is the same button you use to turn off the machine.

The service disc looks like a normal T disc, but it causes the Tassimo to dispense water instead of coffee. If you don’t hear a click, the brewing unit hasn’t closed securely. Run a rinse cycle through your Tassimo with your service disc whenever you brew a cappuccino or some other creamy drink.

Since you’re only cleaning the machine, you won’t be drinking anything that the machine brews during the service cycles.

This round button serves as both the start and stop button, and is what you’ll be using the most when you operate your Tassimo. Since the cup is only brewing water, you don’t need to clean your mug afterwards.

You’ll probably have to go through the cleaning process about 3-4 times.

You can fill a rounded, 500 mL (17  fl oz) sized coffee pot using the default height setting.

Try storing your T discs near your machine. Always keep your cleaning disc in the bottom compartment of the machine.

If you don’t hear a clicking noise, lift up the brewing lid again and try closing it.

Don’t remove the cup until the “automatic” and “manual” LEDs are no longer lit up.

This LED is known as the “automatic” light. When the “automatic” light is blinking, then the machine is brewing your coffee with standard settings specified by the T disc. This setting is best for people with on-the-go schedules.

Check online or in your user manual for troubleshooting solutions if your machine still doesn’t work. If no solution seems to work, call Bosch customer service at 1-877-834-7271. [19] X Research source

If you don’t clean your machine frequently, the coffee maker could get clogged, or not work as efficiently. Try running a cleaning cycle after each creamy drink you prepare (e. g. , latte, macchiato).

If you don’t descale your machine, you might notice the quality of your brews go down.

While you don’t need to wipe down your machine every day, try cleaning it at least once per month.
