At a glance

The Tassimo My Way 2 (TAS6502GB) is Bosch's more flexible T DISC pod machine: 1500 W, a 1.3 l rear tank with an included BRITA filter, and adjustable temperature, cup size and strength with saved preferences. Owners rate it highly for ease of use and cleaning, hotter and customisable drinks, and good drink variety. Common drawbacks are frequent tank refills for large drinks (the filter reduces usable capacity), brewing noise and occasional spitting, no used-disc bin, and being locked into Tassimo pods whose milk drinks use sweetened UHT milk. It suits households that want quick, varied one-touch drinks with more control than basic Tassimo models; it is a poor fit for espresso purists or anyone wanting fresh-milk drinks. Long-term durability has not been independently tested.

Strengths

  • Temperature, cup size and strength can be adjusted, with up to four preferences saved; owners especially like being able to make drinks hotter.
  • Simple one-touch use, no heat-up time and easy cleaning with the cleaning disc and dishwasher-safe parts.
  • Wide drink range via barcode-read T DISCs, and most owners like the coffee and hot chocolate.
Show all (5)
  • Included BRITA filter and a larger tank than smaller Tassimo models.
  • Often seen as good value, particularly on offer.

Things to consider

  • The tank needs frequent refilling for large drinks, and the BRITA filter reduces usable capacity to about 1 l.
  • Only Tassimo pods fit; pod and filter costs add up, and milk drinks use sweetened UHT milk pods.
  • Some noise and spitting during hot brews, and no internal bin for used discs.
Show all (5)
  • Low 3.3 bar pressure means espresso lacks the character of a pump machine.
  • A minority of owners report early failures or sticking pod holders.
Who is it for, and who is it not for?

Good for

  • Households wanting fast, varied hot drinks (coffee, tea, hot chocolate) at the press of a button with personal settings for each user.
  • Owners of older Tassimo machines who want hotter, adjustable drinks and a larger tank.

May not suit

  • Espresso enthusiasts or anyone wanting to froth fresh milk.
  • Heavy coffee drinkers making many large mugs who dislike frequent refills.
  • Buyers who want low running costs or freedom to use other pod brands.

Water tank and BRITA filter

The most frequent complaint is having to refill the tank often, especially with large drinks; some say the BRITA filter takes up tank space or removed it. Expert Reviews says usable capacity drops to about 1 l with the filter fitted. Other buyers find the tank larger than on smaller Tassimo models.

Go to the original reviews

Owners mostly praise how easy the My Way 2 is to use and clean, and especially the ability to make drinks hotter, stronger or larger and save those settings, which many say beats older one-button Tassimo machines. Coffee, hot chocolate and tea quality is generally liked, and it is often seen as good value when bought on offer. The commonest complaint is refilling the tank often for large drinks, with some saying the BRITA filter eats into capacity. Smaller groups mention brewing noise, spitting at the end of hot brews, weak results from certain pods, pod cost and lock-in, confusing instructions, and occasional units that stopped working or had sticking pod holders.

  1. R*** 5/5 20 October 2026 Amazon Colour Name: Black

    Excellent coffee machine at a great price. Nice warm coffee now

  2. K*** H*** 5/5 1 October 2026 Amazon Colour Name: Black

    Excellent reads your coffee pods for the right amount of coffee to milk very easy to use big water containers and very easy to clean

  3. I*** 5/5 30 August 2026 Amazon Colour Name: Cream

    …The My way 2 has great reviews and with good reason. Tasty coffee just like those in a coffee shop but at a fraction of the price. Easy to set up and no tidying up afterwards.

  4. M*** T*** M*** 5/5 25 June 2026 Amazon Colour Name: Black

    Very easy to use. I love the fact that you can choose your cup size, the intensity of your chosen coffee and that you can also choose the temperature. I just love it. The size of the water tank is big, I get quite a few cups out of it.

  5. A*** S*** 4/5 13 April 2026 Amazon Colour Name: Black

    Great product, works great. Good settings for the coffee and super easy to use. The ready coffee is very hot and I like it. The only downside is the tassimo coffee which is hard to find a good variety of the coffee and sizes. Moreover the machine is not campatible with other coffee pads or capsules. …

  6. A*** V*** 5/5 3 April 2026 Amazon Colour Name: White

    …Almost 7 years of daily work for the first My Way I bought I think is a solid reliability argument :). It's Bosch. … Here, the machine is cheap, bur capsules go up in price in time. … It's not silent but not noisier than beans coffee machines with their grinders - so this is not bothering us at all.

  7. K*** 5/5 13 December 2023 Amazon Colour Name: White

    This is great as we can now modify our drinks to our own tastes and even save the settings. … My only complaint is that the coffee tends to splash up the machine (maybe I need to raise the mugs up more) and being the white model, stands out pretty bad. … I picked mine up during a sale so was happy with the price, but at full price it’s not something I’d consider.

  8. A*** C*** 5/5 No date Amazon Featured review; colour not shown

    …It's easy to use, makes great coffee and I use it quite often (though I've only had it for a week now). … It is a little bit loud but I doubt there's a coffee machine that's absolutely silent … You can also save up to 4 ways you want to make a coffee as well as how strong you want it and it is all touch screen…

  9. I*** m*** 5/5 3 April 2025 Amazon Colour Name: White

    …operation couldn't be simpler cleaning is a doddle the price of pods is very reasonable. … if you are a coffee 'snob' then maybe not for you but at least try one from a friend or similar before dismissing this machine…

  10. C*** 5/5 23 October 2026 Currys

    Bought this to replace an old tassimo machine that we had had for years. The My Way machine is a great upgrade - I enjoy the ability to customise drinks and make the water hotter. I also like the fact that it has a bigger water tank than most of the newer tassimo machines. …

  11. W*** 4/5 6 October 2026 Currys

    Great machine you ask savecyour pteference for drinks can change strength .size of cup

  12. P*** 4/5 21 September 2026 Currys

    Very good machine. Simple to use. Looks good. Easy to clean. Setting the options is intuitive… My only issue is the water tank is too small and needs refilling all the time if you like a larger coffee as I tend to.

  13. A*** 5/5 17 January 2026 Currys

    This machine is amazing, the downside is that I am drinking more coffee because each cup is excellent… Only criticism is water tank cannot keep up with my coffee consumption.

  14. D*** 4/5 3 July 2025 Currys

    Bought this to replace my previous Bosch Tassimo. I like the that the strength of coffee can be varied also I enjoy a hot coffee, and that can be varied too. I took the. BRita filter out as it means the water has to be refilled more frequently…

  15. J*** 3/5 6 January 2024 Currys

    It could do with a bigger water dispenser but other than that it’s great

  16. M*** 3/5 14 August 2023 Currys

    The instructions and settings are impossible to understand and they don't come in English. Once you do work it out, it's a great machine for a lovely drink.

  17. M*** 1/5 7 July 2022 Currys

    Improvement Points: Really disappointed I thought hard about which coffee machine to buy , I love Costa coffee so thought this is definitely the one for me, it taste nothing like Costa coffee, I believe it may be the milk that comes in the pack, really disappointed waste of my money

  18. S*** 2/5 3 November 2021 Currys

    Good Points: I loved the fact that it was using Brita water filter so the water was purer… Improvement Points: The fact that I used the machine 3 times and it stopped working, nothing would work on it and I wasted a good couple of pods trying to get it to work. Really disappointed 😔

  19. M*** 1/5 20 August 2021 Currys

    Good Points: Makes a wide range of drinks quickly and easily Improvement Points: The brita filter is expensive to replace and reduces the water capacity by half. Definitely a backwards step in my opinion
