Bosch 621101 Service T-Disc for Tassimo T20/T40/T65/T85/Bosch Spare Part

I recently inherited a Bosch Tassimo TAS2002 coffee maker that had been sitting for a few years. Naturally, the first thing I wanted to do was clean it out before attempting to make a hot beverage with it. The individual that gave me the coffee maker said I was out of luck – I’d need a “cleaning disc”, and the one that came with the machine was lost.I immediately turned to Amazon and within 5 minutes, had my solution. I paired this cleaning disc withUrnex Dezcal 5 Packmixed per directions into a solution and put into the machine’s water reservoir. I ran the machine a couple times through with the cleaning solution, rinsed out the reservoir, and repeated the process with normal water to finish the job. There wasn’t much for visible gunk dispensed – maybe the solution was a bit more cloudy on the way out. I’m happy with the results, and the machine now sits in my shared office producing great tasting coffee for the masses.As a price-related aside – you can find these two products packaged together on Amazon sometimes. I went ahead and bought them separately as it was a better value at the time; I received this cleaning disc along with the 5 pack of Dezcal for less than a bundle that only included the disc and a 2 pack of Dezcal.This is a perfect product if it fits your Tassimo machine. There do appear to be multiple designs available, so make sure that this is the one that will fit your machine!

This device is required to “clean” the Tassimo machine. One can download an image of a bar code online and turn a used T-disc into a cleaning disc – but for a few bucks, I went ahead and bought this. Can also be used to make just hot water for tea or other drinks. But I can’t convince my wife to use it – she still makes hot water the old fashioned way – no, not with sticks, flint, and fire – but with our little Hotshot one cup water heater.
