SOURCE: Tassimo - Can other pods be used?

Hi,
I am not sure if you have a TARGET store near you, but I found some different Tassimo products there this past weekend.

check your torch and make sure nothing is loose. If that does not fix it you will need to disassemble the tip and make sure there is not any debris if there is clean it out and replace any worn parts.

For a Braun machine, unfortunately this is quite normal as it's part of the "purge" once it has finished brewing.

The new Bosch machines do not do this and finish their cycle with a steam purge instead.

The problem is that the barcode on the cleaning disk is recessed unlike those on the pods. It seems that the reader has difficulty reading the barcode that is slightly further away than normal.

I've had this problem this afternoon and solved it by carefully peeling off the barcode from the cleaning disk and "fattening it up" with foam tape then re-applying to the plastic cleaning disk. Works perfectly now, just as well as I was close to throwing the whole machine at the wall.

Hope this helps someone

I rubbed a little cooking oil on the reader and this worked a handful of times, then I used my finger to scrub toothpaste on the reader and that bought me a month. Now I used a magic eraser sponge when nothing else was working and its worked for a few days. Hope this helps.
