Happy Saturday! I have a pretty nice wide open weekend here that I am pretty excited about. Lots of little mini projects I am considering: I have books to put away in the book room, a desk to set up in the office, paint to pick out for the front room and upstairs living room, reviews to write…
Recently I was picked to host a House Party for the Tassimo Coffee Pot. If you are not familiar with House Party, check it out. These are parties on products anywhere from books, to movies, to food, to beverages, to games, to projects. You sign up for the ones you are interested in and if you are chosen to host you are to invite at least 10 people over to share in the product with you. They can be a lot of fun and you are sent whatever you need to put on the party. In the past I have had two parties around books and one on a movie, this was my first branching out.
I wanted to host this party because I knew I would never buy a $165 coffee pot, which is what this model of the Tassimo is. Hosts received not only the coffee pot, but an assortment of coffee pods to use at the party. I was thrilled when I was selected.
I did have the party and it was a lot of fun. At first, I found the coffee pot to be a lot of work to figure out. I did not even get that the coffee pods that came with creamer was a pod you put in the machine after the coffee part to heat and foam the creamer and then the machine added it to your cup. It was one of my guests who pointed that out to me (thanks Brenda!)
As the evening went on, I actually found the coffee pot growing on me. I liked trying the different kinds and the fact that it brewed one special cup at a time. In fact, since the party, I have not used my regular coffee pot. For todays Saturday Snapshot (give it up for West Metro Mommy Reads!) I thought I would post a couple pictures from that event.
My overall thoughts: I like the Tassimo and yes I would recommend it. They sent in the package 40% off coupons for my guests if they wanted a Tassimo Coffee pot as well as some yummy brunch recipes. We had a great time!
Pop on over to West Metro Mommy Reads and see what other people are posting pics of this weekend. It is deer hunting season here in Minnesota, my Facebook friends are saturated in pics of family members with their deer (what an odd tradition, to pose with your deer….) LOL

Looks like a great party, and who doesn’t love a fancy new coffee gadget. Enjoy!
Thanks… I think I am enjoying it too much. I wake up and look forward to it and in the evening I think I have to have another….LOL
Wow! What fun!
It really was!
We have a Keurig, which isn’t as fancy, but we use it all the time. It looks like y’all had fun!
We did! We had some good food too – my friend Angie made these awesome little mini donuts ( dangerously good!)
Looks like a fun party! My parents are totally addicted to their Keurig. I’m not that into hot beverages in general, but it’s good to have around when I happen to get in the mood for one!
It’s only archery season for deer here at the moment, but after Thanksgiving, I know to expect the usual parade of dead deer pictures. Definitely a bizarre tradition! LOL.
I am happy to report I did not see any deer pictures on the Saturday Snapshots 🙂
How neat! I would love the coffee pot too but probably wouldn’t spend the money on the individual coffee in the long run. I’m cheap:)
I hear you. I found that on the expresso ones, I can use them twice.
Looks like fun! I enjoy the single-serving pots in hotel rooms — especially since they will brew tea, which is what I prefer.
I bet that machine makes fantastic coffee but I drink too much of it to be brewing cups one at a time… not to mention the cost! But I wouldn’t turn it down if it appeared at my doorstep either. 🙂 Everyone looks like they are enjoying their coffee.
Looks like a fun coffee klatch! And yes … weird deer photos are making the rounds in my family and it’s just bizarre!
I haven’t had any luck with House Party. I was excited when I found out about it, but after not being selected over and over again I kind of gave up on it. It always looks like people are having a lot of fun though when they host parties. Glad you are enjoying your new coffee friend!
How fantastic you got selected for the House Party! I have been wanting to get one and keep missing the opportunity.
A friend gave us his Tassimo machine and my husband seems to love it! I’m not a coffee drinker and we can’t ever seem to find the hot chocolate pod things for me to try, so I have no opinion. He doesn’t use it often, preferring to grind his own beans and all that, but he does like to use it when we have guests. Looks like you all had a great time!
