Tassimo coffee machines now less than £40 in summer sale
Tassimo has reduced the cost of some of its coffee machines by up to 58%, with some costing as little as £34.99
Investing in a home coffee machine can be a daunting task, especially for those who have never used one before. Not to mention that getting an espresso machine to make a fresh brew without leaving the comfort of our homes can cost a few hundred quid up front.
However, brand Tassimo, which specialises in coffee and espresso machines, has released a number of pretty epic deals on its Happy, MyWay, Finesse, and Style designs, which only require the use of coffee pods to create a delicious morning or afternoon cuppa.
All users need are some coffee pods (the machines are compatible with Tassimo's own range) and the press of a button to create a coffee that would rival the indie cafe down the road.
These Tassimo machines rival the likes of Nespresso's Vertuo Pop Pod Coffee Machine by Krups, which is on sale for £59.99, and Versuni PHILIPS L'OR Barista Sublime Capsule Coffee Machine, now £69.99 from £109.99, both of which run with one touch of a button and require coffee pods. The latter has the ability to pour a double shot too, meaning it can make two cups of coffee at one time, if you so wish.
While these deals are pretty impressive, some of Tassimo's coffee machines have up to 58% off, with many of them costing less than £40. Ideal for newbies to home espresso making.
For example, for those after a cheap and cheerful option to dip their toe into the sea of coffee machines, without the eye-watering price, the brand's Style Friendly - Black is currently on sale for £34.99 down from £79.99. A compact option, it's an ideal first coffee machine for those who don't really have the space in their kitchen, as it measures at 265 x 171 x 320mm.
Although it does come in three colours, the cream and white variants are slightly more expensive at £39.99. Described as having 'hassle-free brewing', the coffee machine is made from 57% recycled plastic and is made with Intellibrew technology. This helps with the brewing of each coffee type, from lattes to rich espressos.
No pre-heating is required and, as previously mentioned, it only requires the touch of one button to make the perfect brew - of course, don't forget to put the pod in. Get it here.
Similar to the Style, the brand's Happy coffee machine is now £34.99 instead of £79.99 and is a little lighter at 1.5kg rather than 2.6kg. Measuring a little smaller too at 265 x 175 x 305 mm, the machine is loved by shoppers for being 'easy to use' and 'making very nice coffee'.
While the cream design is an elegant option that'll certainly brighten up a space and add to it without being too garish (as some appliances can be), the Happy also comes in black for a sleek and stylish look. The machine has an impressive 4.7-star rating with coffee fans saying how it was a 'brilliant machine' and better than they expected.
Someone else added: 'This is my fourth Tassimo, and I would say it's the best. It seems to give a larger drink. I ordered online at a discount and was delivered without a problem.'
Although for some, it wasn't quite up to scratch. One three-star shopper said: 'Machine is very basic, I should have gone for a better model.' For those who prefer a bit more of an intense coffee in the morning, the brand's FINESSE Cream - Coffee Machine has been discounted in the sale to £39.99 down from £89.99, shaving £50 off.
Coming in four different colours, red, cream, white and black, the machine is similar to the aforementioned models in terms of functionality and make-up, but it has been crafted with IntensityBoost technology, which, as the brand describes, helps users to adapt the coffee intensity to their personal taste. Pushing the button for three seconds gives it a more intense taste.
With a weight of 2.75kg and dimensions of 366 x 265 x 157 mm, it's a slightly larger model and has had the seal of approval from Tassimo coffee lovers, one of whom said alongside a 5-star rating: 'I like it a lot, the extra feature to intensify the flavour is welcomed. A big Tassimo fan now onto my fourth machine, bought at a great price.'
While some found that the gadget's water tank was 'too small' at 0.7L, others didn't quite have the same issue, with many saying it was the 'best yet'.
Now, these three models have the button to start the coffee brewing process on the side, where users would place their mug. However, the most expensive model in the deals, which is still a pretty savvy find, has its power button just above the mug and there are a number of different settings to play with.
The Tassimo My Way 2 in Black usually retails at £99.99 but has been reduced to £69.99. Fitted with a BRITA filter, unlike some of the previous models, the coffee machine doesn't just provide coffee and actually be used to create any hot drink - tea and hot chocolate pods from Tassimo can be used with it.
With a larger water tank of 1.6L, a 1500W power (as opposed to the usual 1400W) and dimensions of 285 x 228 x 340 mm, the machine is a little larger and has more capacity to create a variety of different-sized coffees. It also has an automatic power-down to help conserve energy.
Shoppers have been loving the new upgrades on this machine, one five-star rating shopper said: 'This is such a step up from my old Tassimo basic coffee maker. I used to have to keep my finger pressed on the button to top up my cup, which was so annoying. With this little beauty, I simply select the large cup and it's sorted, full cup every time.'
'It is very good I like that it makes my coffee hot and I can have it strong or weak." A second said: 'My only wish is that it's higher, so I can get a latte glass in."
Alongside the features, the aesthetic of the My Way 2 machine has been complimented, as one person wrote: 'Very good looking machine. About the footprint size of a four-slice toaster. You can control the strength, temperature and size of coffee. You can store your four preferences in memory. The water reservoir is easy to fill and has a water filter. It's quiet and efficient, but most of all, it makes great coffee.'
Although for many, setting the coffee machine up proved to be a little difficult as the instructions aren't quite as clear as they could be - it seems. One user shared their experience and said: 'Only criticism so far concerns the graphic-only instruction sheet. The images are just not clear and understandable enough. A fully detailed written instructions in a multi-lingual and illustrated booklet would be a great improvement.'
It's important to note that these coffee machines do not come with a milk frother, and these deals don't always come with coffee pods, so be sure to check whether the deal with the extra pods has been selected before checking out. For a machine with a milk frother, check out the L'OR Barista Sublime, which comes with a separate milk frother and 100 capsules.

However, the hot weather certainly hadn't prevented attendees from putting their best foot forward in the fashion stakes.

Naturally head-gear was the focal point of many of the ladies' outfits with the woman showcasing an impressive display of hats, fascinators and headpieces. Keen to keep their cool, many racegoers came prepared for the hot weather, armed with hand-held fans and parasols. And of course plenty of sunglasses were seen perched on the noses of the well-heeled attendees today as squinting is hardly stylish. The famous event attracts plenty of famous faces, including celebrities, sports personalities and of course royalty. Each year the royal family flocks to Ascot to witness the action. However, on Thursday the Princess of Wales pulled out of Royal Ascot at the last minute as she continues her cancer recovery. It is understood that Kate, 43, was "disappointed" that she wasn't going but 'has to find the right balance' on returning to full time duty. She attended Trooping the Colour and Order of the Garter in recent days plus a visit to V&A East Storehouse last week. Known as the pinnacle of British horse racing, Royal Ascot is not just about the thrilling sport but also a celebration of style, tradition, and culinary indulgence. Kate drops out of Royal Ascot at the last minute as she 'finds the right balance' in return to work after cancer Each year, this iconic event attracts over 250,000 visitors across five days, offering an unforgettable experience steeped in history and glamour. Dress to Impress Fashion takes centre stage at Royal Ascot, with each enclosure offering its unique sartorial expectations. The prestigious Royal Enclosure demands the highest level of formality. Gentlemen are required to don morning suits complete with top hats, while ladies must adhere to a refined dress code: dresses or skirts that fall just above the knee or longer, straps of at least one inch in width, and, of course, a statement hat is non-negotiable. For those in the Queen Anne Enclosure, the dress code is still elegant but slightly more relaxed, allowing for a touch of personal flair. Meanwhile, the Windsor Enclosure is the most informal of the three. Although there's no strict dress code here, smart attire is encouraged to maintain the event's sophisticated atmosphere. A Historic Beginning Royal Ascot has a fascinating history that dates back to 1711. 9 Guests camer well-prepared for the sweltering termperatures Credit: PA 9 Hand-held fans were the perfect accessory for keeping guests cool Credit: PA 9 No hat? No problem! A paradol provided shade to this glam guest Credit: PA 9 This brightly-dressed racegoer was all-smiles as she arrived It all began when Queen Anne, during a ride from Windsor Castle, came across a piece of land she thought was perfect for horse racing, describing it as 'ideal for horses to gallop at full stretch.' This marked the birth of Ascot Racecourse. The first Royal Meeting was held in 1768, and over the years, it has grown into Britain's most iconic racing event, blending centuries-old tradition with the excitement and glamour of the modern day. The Daily Schedule Each day at Royal Ascot is meticulously planned to ensure a seamless blend of racing and pageantry. Gates open at 10:30am, with the much-anticipated royal procession taking place at 2pm, a moment that sets the tone for the day's festivities. Racing enthusiasts can look forward to seven nail-biting races, starting at 2:30pm and concluding at 6:10pm. Beyond the Racing: A Feast for the Senses Royal Ascot is not just a sporting event; it's a feast for the senses. Culinary excellence is a hallmark of the occasion, with 350 chefs crafting an array of exquisite dishes. ROYAL ASCOT BETTING OFFERS - BEST FREE BET RACING DEALS ROYAL ASCOT LIVE - ALL THE LATEST ON EVERY RACE Across the five days, guests will indulge in 220,000 handcrafted afternoon tea cakes, 7,300 Angus steaks, and 3,000 kilograms of salmon. ROYAL ASCOT BETTING OFFERS - BEST FREE BET RACING DEALS ROYAL ASCOT LIVE - ALL THE LATEST ON EVERY RACE The Queen Anne Enclosure, in particular, offers a gastronomic treat at the 1768 Grill, where the renowned Argentinian restaurant Gaucho serves up mouthwatering steaks. As for beverages, the statistics are as impressive as the event itself. An estimated 65,000 bottles of Champagne and 100,000 bottles of wine are consumed, ensuring the celebrations flow as freely as the bubbly. A Grand Affair The scale of Royal Ascot is nothing short of extraordinary. In 2023, the event saw approximately 400 helicopters and 1,000 luxury cars ferrying guests to the racecourse. On average, 60,000 attendees graced the grounds each day, making it a true highlight of Britain's social calendar.

Time for change: watches that are worn anywhere but the wrist
While most watches today are worn on the wrist, originally they came in the shape of fobs — attached to a waistcoat or uniform by a chain or ribbon — or were hung on pins. Later they were put on wrist straps for convenience, a style that was common after the First World War. Now makers are relegating the telling of time to a secondary function. 'We're seeing watches evolve into expressions of personal style as consumers seek more distinctive accessories,' explains Ben Staniforth, of the pre-owned luxury timepiece retailer Watchfinder & Co. 'Worn on lapels as pendants or integrated into couture, they reflect a trend where fashion meets functionality.' This article contains affiliate links that can earn us revenue Arsham Droplet watch, £76,000, If evidence is needed that this is entering mainstream culture, the actress Jenna Ortega rocking up at A$AP Rocky's Met Gala afterparty last month with an antique men's pocket watch by Heuer (known today as Tag Heuer) from c 1914 dangling from her tuxedo bodysuit should be proof enough. And the high echelons of watchmaking have cottoned on to this trend for self-expression too. Hermès debuted its Maillon Libre brooch watch in April. This gem of a timepiece can be pinned to a lapel or sleeve, or worn around the neck with a leather cord — and is a frontrunner for design ingenuity. Despite its established place in the serious fashion sphere, Chanel also knows how to have fun with its designs. The new Kiss Me necklace appropriately takes the form of the brand's cult lipstick. If that wasn't charmant enough, it slides open to reveal a hidden watch dial. Kiss Me necklace in yellow gold, golden beryls, rhodolites, onyx and diamonds, POA, Sixtie sautoir watch in rose gold, white opals and diamonds, POA, Also restringing its pearls is Piaget, which has taken inspiration from its archival necklace watches from the Sixties: the Sixtie sautoir has a lozenge watch dial as its focal point in a masterful melding of high jewellery and horology. And Hublot's long-standing collaboration with leading artists resulted in the release of a timepiece that sent ripples through the watch world last year. Designed by the visual artist Daniel Arsham, the Droplet is tethered to a chain and cased in sapphire glass, offering a clear view of the moving mechanical parts within. This cute kidney bean of a timepiece is as far removed from your grandad's gold pocket watch as you can get. Van Cleef & Arpels is a dab hand with watches that combine complex engineering with stellar gem setting. At first glance, its padlock-shaped Cadenas might look like a heavy-duty bracelet, but take a closer look and you'll find an angled watch dial set among a dazzling mix of gold, diamonds and sapphires. Panthère hinged bangle watch in yellow gold, lacquer, onyx and diamonds, POA, Sundial watch in steel, £128, Cartier is another high jeweller and watchmaker that excels at combining precious materials with covert details. Its new Panthère has Duchess of Windsor glamour in spades with its big-cat hinged bangle: cast in solid gold and set with precious stones, it also fits in a watch dial, revealed by turning your wrist a few degrees. But the most novel creation is by the young, dynamic German brand Nomos Glashütte. Its sundial watch, which can be worn as a ring or around your neck, has a machined hole that lets a beam of sunlight fall on the engraved numbers to tell the hours. It's useless at night, but it will certainly be a talking point during working hours.

Retro US-style roadside diners become tourist attraction in the UK – it's like going back to the 1970s
Plus, Sun Travel visited another American-style diner here in the UK EAT UP Retro US-style roadside diners become tourist attraction in the UK – it's like going back to the 1970s Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE US is so far away, but luckily, there are diners right here in the UK that are strikingly similar to the diners we have all seen in classic American movies. With comfy seating booths, juicy burgers, pancake stacks and sundaes, visitors have confessed the diner makes them feel like they're in the 1970s. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Brightside diners serve up American-style food like pancakes and milkshakes Credit: Instagram 5 The Brightside decor takes people back to the 1970s Credit: Brightside The American-style diners are known for being nostalgic, as well as hearty food. The inspiration behind the chain sparked from the owners' childhood trips to roadside restaurants - in particular, Little Chef which ceased operations in 2017. All of the Brightside diners are open from Monday to Sunday, 8am to 9pm to accommodate those on long journeys and travelling. In the mornings, Brightside has American dishes like Early Rider which is a mix of smoked streaky bacon, The Jolly Hog 'Proper Porker' sausage, egg, baked beans and sourdough toast. There's also pancake stacks with either fruit or bacon toppings and veggie options. Certain breakfast dishes are served as part of the all day breakfast, but other tasty meals include pizza, burgers, fish and chips, and curry. Also served are sides of chunky chips, cheesy garlic dough balls and macaroni chips. Other classic American items include the big selection of milkshakes with chocolate flavours, strawberry, banana, salted caramel and Biscoff. There's also an option to pick from the 'Speedy Menu' for those needing to get back on the road in a hurry. There's also a children's menu as well as vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options.

Across the UK, there are four restaurants, in Honiton, Exeter, Saltash and Ram Jam in Oakham. One visitor to the diner in Saltash wrote: "Thought I'd give this place a try as it's on my way home. Glad I did, the restaurant has cracking retro decor and feel and food was great! Seen somewhere saying it's like Stranger Things, I definitely agree." Another, who had a meal at the Exeter site, added: "Some nice outdoor seating and really cute 1970s style diner done really well." A third visited Honiton and said: "What a great find a fantastic American style roadside diner open all day for breakfast lunch and dinner." These impressive restaurants are ones you will find inside redesigned planes - and there's one in the UK. And Sun Travel reviewed the Mollie's Motel & Diner in Oxfordshire. Plus Travel Reporter Cyann Fielding reveals how she eats on a budget during her travels.
