[Electronics-talk] Tassimo brewers; was Keurig 2.0 accessibility

[Chip Orange]

Thank you for passing this along.

I can whole heartedly recommend a competitor model from Tassimo.  It uses barcodes on its pods for brewing instructions as well, but in addition, it allows pods filled with uht milk, chocolate syrup (for hot chocolate), and other liquids (so that you can brew a capachino without dealing with the milk yourself).  It only has one button (to start), and as far as I know, all of the various models of Tassimo brewers only make one size drink (they just vary in their physical size, how much water their resivoirs will hold, etc.).  I have been excessively please with it and the variety of drinks available (I am enjoying pumpkin spice lates this fall).  

Tassimo can be found at Bed Bath and Beyond and online, and their price for pods is competitive with K-cups, and so is the price for their brewers.

Hth,

Chip

Subject: [Electronics-talk] Keurig 2.0 accessibility

We recently purchased a Keurig 2.0 model 200.  We subsequently returned it 
to Walmart, and got an older Keurig model 40 they still had on the shelf.  I 
was unable to use the unit, because you need to select a cup size using the 
touch screen.  This would have been doable, except that if you, by tapping 
the up button, exceed the maximum cup size of 10 oz, the selection wraps 
around to 4 oz.

I'm sure that this has been discussed, but there are many Keurig messages in 
the archives, and I didn't browse them all.  I heard on another list that 
blind folks were using this unit successfully, and I wonder how?

I spoke with a manager at Keurig, and he told me that he'd heard of this 
once before.  Honestly, I didn't get the feeling that Keurig is concerned 
about this, or that they plan to do anything about it.
