The Tassimo TA 1400 is an ok coffee machine. It makes a decent cup of coffee, and if they have your preferred coffee type, this may be a good choice for you. However, for the same price the Keurig B60 is a better buy. I use a Keurig at work and bought a Tassimo for home, figuring that it would be similar in features to the Keurig. I found the Tassimo lacking in comparison. Here's what I like about each:Tassimo:Nice looking machineWater filter is a good plusThe ability to do milk based drinks like lattesKeurig:Also nice lookingWider selection of coffeeYou can buy a filter that allows you to use your own coffeeIncludes a menu driven LCD that allows you to adjust things like temperature, auto-start time, cup size, etc. LCD also gives you status message so you know what the unit is doingThe side mounted water cannister is more convient than the rear mount of the Tassimo (strictly preferance here)
