The other day, I had some friends over for coffee. I had forgotten they were stopping by, and my nearly empty pantry had only two options left: Tassimo Latte and Tassimo Caramel Latte Macchiato. Luckily, these were among my friends’ favorite drinks. Unsurprisingly, they cleaned me out of both beverages.
When it came time for my last guest to pick her drink, she couldn’t make up her mind. She couldn’t decide if she wanted to keep things simple or if she wanted that hint of caramel. Being a notorious flip-flopper, my friend began to irritate everybody else. Each person took turns trying to sway her. I got to thinking, which one was really the better option?
My first thoughts went to the obvious difference in preparation between lattes and latte macchiatos. The average coffee drinker may not know this, but there is a difference: lattes are prepared by adding milk to espresso, whereas latte macchiatos are made by adding espresso to milk. When I remembered this, I considered how my imaginary candidates came from different backgrounds.
I moved to reviewing the Tassimo Latte. I thought about the taste. I always found the Tassimo Latte to be scrumptious. The combination of dairy and coffee flavors is perfect for dessert or a mid-afternoon treat. The plain but distinguished flavor goes down smooth, and my tongue always has a pleasant tingle when I drink it.
Next, I took a moment to reflect on the Tassimo Caramel Latte Macchiato. Similar to the Tassimo Latte, it has a perfect blend of milk and espresso. However, it also has a subtle yet noticeable hint of caramel. Whenever I need a little extra sweetness in my day, the Tassimo Caramel Latte Macchiato is a great go-to option.
A Tale of Two Tassimos
My mind began drifting to a fantasy world where each option was an applicant for a highly sought after position. I imagined I was at my desk doing a final review of their resumes.
