You pop in the milk pod first and follow it up with the espresso pod.<\/p>\n
5. Compact design<\/h3>\n
In addition to being one of the cheapest Tassimo machines, the Vivy 2 is also one of the smallest. It\u2019s a great choice for small kitchens, dorm rooms and other small spaces.<\/p>\n
The machine is just 17cm wide, 31cm deep and 25cm high.<\/p>\n
6. 0.7L water tank<\/h3>\n
The compact design comes at a sacrifice. You have to make do with a smaller water tank compared to other Tassimo machines.<\/p>\n
Vivy 2 holds 0.7L of water, which is good for just 2-3 cups of coffee.<\/p>\n
Bigger families may need to refill the machine more frequently. But it heats up pretty quickly (less than a minute) so this is not a big inconvenience.<\/p>\n
How easy is it to use?<\/h2>\n
If the thought of brewing a cup of coffee sends you to Costa every morning, the Tassimo Vivy 2 is super easy to use.<\/p>\n
Thanks to IntelliBrew technology, you don\u2019t have to worry about heating water to the right temperature or using the right amount of water.<\/p>\n
The coffee maker figures it out automatically by reading the barcode on the coffee pod you\u2019ve inserted.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s only one button on the control panel with 5 LEDs to indicate the status of the machine.<\/p>\n
Press the button to start dispensing coffee, stop production or get into manual mode.<\/p>\n
The LEDs indicate manual mode, automatic mode, standby, descale and fill water tank. So you never have to wonder what\u2019s causing a problem.<\/p>\n
Thanks to Tassimo\u2019s fast-heating technology, you can make multiple cups of coffee without any delays in between.<\/p>\n
Maintenance is also easy.<\/p>\n
Being a pod coffee machine, there isn\u2019t much cleaning you need to do. Just run an auto-clean cycle every now and then and rinse the pod holder after a while.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll also need to descale the machine regularly. You can get the descaling tablets online or at a local supermarket.<\/p>\n
Overall, pod machines like the Vivy 2 are great for those who want to spend the least amount of time and effort brewing coffee.<\/p>\n
With its automatic mode, IntelliBrew tech and one-button operation, Vivy 2 is especially easy and convenient to use.<\/p>\n
What accessories are included?<\/h2>\n
Vivy 2 does not come with any accessories; just the machine itself.<\/p>\n
If you want coffee pods included, there\u2019s a bundled version that includes the coffee machine and a starter pack with 5 varieties of beverages (Espresso, Latte Macchiato, Americano Grande, Americano and hot chocolate).<\/p>\n
