  1. No one hurt

    Made Aug 21, 2012, sent to the company Aug 31, 2012, published by CPSC Sep 17, 2012

    The product, in the report: White Bosch Tassimo T20, bought in July 2011 at Bed Bath and Beyond.

    I received the new T disc holder because my coffee machine was affected by the recall of the disc holder. The new holder does absolutely nothing to fix the described problem. My coffee maker spilled ground coffee and hot water before and does so after I installed the new part. I feel like this fix is just a pacifier for consumers but not a fix to a bad product. I still believe that the machine is dangerous and that I could get burned from it. I always stay 2 feet away from it when I am making coffee. I called Bosch and informed them about the problem but they don’t seem to care and don’t want to take care of my issue. It is unfortunate that I have to go this route but a dangerous product needs to come off the market. I wish I could just return the machine and buy a different coffee maker.

    The product, in the report: Bosch Tassimo Single Cup Brewer Model # TAS6515UC/03 Serial # A11038288769 12/26/11

    I own one of the Bosch Tassimo coffee makers affected by the following recall: “Tassimo Single-Cup Coffee Makers Recalled by BSH Home Appliances Due to Burn Hazard”.

    I contacted Bosch and did receive a part, per the recall “solution”. I installed the part according to the directions and have been using the machine ever since. This morning, the machine exploded while brewing an espresso using a new disc I had just ordered from Tassimo. Thankfully, I was in another room. I was unhurt but am concerned that I may have been burned if I was close to the machine. I did take photos, but they are a little blurry.

    I thought you needed to know that their so called fix is not fixing the problem. I feel there is still a risk of burns. Another gentlemen had posted a similar account on YouTube.

    Made Mar 17, 2012, sent to the company Mar 27, 2012, published by CPSC Apr 10, 2012

    The product, in the report: The Tassimo Bosch T20 Base Brewer-TwinGrey

    I bought a Tassimo for the convince of making latte’s and cappuccino’s at home. Several times the machine blew hot water and coffee grinds burning my hands and splashing on my arms. I have made several calls to the customer service. Eventually not only was the espresso T disk causing over flow but the regular [REDACTED] coffee would have coffee grinds all in the coffee cup. I was told to use the yellow disk to clean the machine. I have done this many times. Eventually they sent me a part. But by the time the part came I explained that my machine now does not make hot coffee, and an 11 ounce disk only gives 4-5 ounces of coffee that is at most warm. I am told they have no start up date to begin making the specialty coffees, and that they are out of production. That leaves me with mostly burned fingers, scalded hands that have healed and a broken specialty coffee maker and no coffee to go into it except the same [REDACTED] coffee I use in my [REDACTED] maker. I ordered my machine from Tassimo directly than to buy it at [REDACTED]. If I had bought it at [REDACTED] I would at least been refunded the money. $97.00 is what I paid. I do not want to sue them, I just want my money back. I should mention my husband also was burned as he ran to my aid to help.

    The product, in the report: Tassimo coffee Brewing system

    My husband and I were making a cup of coffee just like we do every morning when our coffee maker made a funny noise and when the light quit blinking and it should have been ready to open I opened it up and the minute I opened it exploded hot coffee grounds and it came at me and hit me in the left side of my upper chest area and it felt like a brick hit me, and I was wearing a heavy sweatshirt but the heat burned throught to my skin and left a pink burn spot on my chest area, had I not been wearing the sweatshirt I think I would have been burned really bad, coffee granules went everywhere, they were sprayed all over me luckily they didnt hit my face and I thank God my son wasnt standing there with me at the time.. I was in shock from what had happened, it had scared me so bad because it had felt like I had been hit with a brick or rock in the chest! Whoever would have thought coffee grounds could feel like that! So I went in on my computer and went to custemer service for Tassimo and told them what had happened, and I never heard back from them I waited for a couple of weeks and still nothing, and then I receive an email from direct delivery that my order was on back order and they wouldn’t be shipping it for awhile, so I just let it go and thought maybe it wouldnt be to long but I never heard a thing from them, so one day while shopping at bed bath and beyond I decided to just go ahead and pickup a few packages of our t disks to get by untill our order came and that is when I found out about the recall, but I still needed to talk to someone because our coffee maker not only exploded that morning but now it was leaking water around the seal because evidently it got so hot that it melted the plastic seal inside the lid and now we have a leaky seal, and I needed to know if we could get that replaced or what, so I went home and tried calling the company and I never did get a call back. They have never sent me any kind of a recall notice and we bought our machine from their website, and we have been getting home delivery’s for several years now. They are not returning my calls or answering my email I sent to customer service. I have yet to hear anything back at all!

    The product, in the report: Tassimo Single Cup Coffee Maker Black

    The consumer stated that her coffee maker is a potential burn hazard as the consumer’s daughter was operating the coffeemaker and much like the hazard cited in release 12-106, the coffeemaker unexpectedly dispersed coffee grounds and hot water in the direction of the consumer’s daughter. The consumer stated that her and her daughter were in the process of making cups of coffee for company they were expecting.

    The consumer stated that the contents of the coffeemaker made contact with her daughter, landing on her arms. The consumer stated that her daughter was not injured severely and did not feel the need to seek a doctor for treatment. However, the consumer feels that the incident could have worse effects since her daughter was expecting at the time. The consumer stated that the inner mechanism of the coffee maker appeared to have melted.

    The consumer called the firm a few weeks ago at the corporate location on February 1st. The firm did not seem very interested in what the consumer had to report in regards to the product incident. The consumer became upset and decided to discard the product. The consumer was informed later that the product was on recall. The consumer stated that her home was not damaged by the product. The consumer did not call the firm about the incident.

    The product, in the report: Tassimo TAS200 FD: 9105 coffee brewer

    We have one of the recalled Tassimo brewers - I just heard about the recall about 20 minutes ago. About 1 of three times that we use the Tassimo it steams and spits hot water when opening the top to remove the spent disc. We tend to leave it for awhile before removing it, if we are not making a latte. I have gotten mildly burnt a couple of times, but nothing severe or lasting.
