SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20120209-0E967-2147470366. Matched catalog product: Tassimo Tassimo Cappuccino. Source model text: TAS4511 fd 9005. Incident: I noted the Tassimo recall tonite (2/9) scrolling on Fox news. It's freaky because it happened to me yesterday! I was making an espresso and the hot grounds splattered out at my face. I was not standing really close to the Tassimo and I wear glasses so I had no injury. But I can see how someone could have a facial injury.

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20120405-1E77F-2147468657. Severity: Injury, First Aid Received by Non-Medical Professional. Matched catalog product: Tassimo Tassimo Cappuccino. Incident: Was waiting for coffee pod to brew from my tassimo, didnt seem to be working properly and hot steamy water sprayed on my hand and part of my wrist leaving blisters, I am pretty sure they were first and second degree burns. I am a nurse so I ran under cold water and put some burn cream on and wrapped it up........but I am hoping this does not happen to someone else. This seems very dangerous. Hopefully someones child isnt using this because I would hate for this to happen to a little one.

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20120320-A28BC-2147469124. Matched catalog product: Tassimo Tassimo Cappuccino. Source model text: TAS4511UC/01. Incident: This is a copy of the letter that I emailed Tassimo directly on December 28, 2011..please keep in mind that NO ONE EVER REPLIED TO ME. I called two times and during the call I was hung up on accidently and still never heard back. Since this incident, we put this machine on a shelf...and just tonight we were googling information on the new [REDACTED] machine and came across this information. I am really disappointed that we never heard back from someone about the replacement piece and that i had to find it by googling something different instead of someone calling me after making a report directly. My husband has a permanant scar on his side from this burn. It is horrible.

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20160915-7E5F6-1594388. Matched catalog product: Tassimo Tassimo Cappuccino. Source model text: T20. Incident: We purchased the above referenced coffee maker in anticipation of relocating to the beach after my husband's retirement. However, we decided not to relocate until I retired last month, and therefore, kept this item in the carton to provide ease in moving. When we unpacked it last weekend, as we were moving in, we placed the pod in as directed and were surprised with a shower of water all over the counter. Thankfully, we were not near the coffeemaker and did not get burned. We cleaned up the "explosion" and made sure that we had inserted it correctly and tried again, but the same occurred. We are certain that the pods were inserted properly since we have one of these at our office and it works in the same fashion and has never given this problem. We would, therefore, like to return this for a credit or for an exchange of a similar coffeemaker, perhaps a [REDACTED], without the pod, since this seems to be the culprit. We could then continue to enjoy our favorite Gevalia coffees since they, too, are available [REDACTED].

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20120818-4BA4B-2147464625. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Tassimo Tassimo Cappuccino. Source model text: 3107. Incident: The Tassimo by Braun single serve coffee maker was plugged in to the wall as it says it can in the manual. After 4 months of use it was on the counter and from my room I smelled an elecrical burning odor and started to look for it. I arrived in the kitchen to find the odor coming from the cord of the Tassimo near the plug. The Plug is a GFI since it is in the kitchen. I unplugged the cord witch was hot and left it unplugged. I have not used it since and do not plan to because of my concern it will start a fire in my home. The back water tank was 1 cup under the MAX fill line and there was not a disc in the machine. There were no injuries because I was home at the time and able to smell it the odor.

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 16, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — SaferProducts.gov incident

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20180326-EE823-2147389006. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Tassimo Tassimo Cappuccino (TAssimo coffee brewing system. These coffee makers use a specific coffee pod called a T-disc and the particular pods having issues are their Cappuccino creamer pods which must have been manufactured with a defect that doesn't allow hot liquid to flow out properly, so it explodes and expels hot liquid out the front of the machine. I will add the upc of the T-Disc package and not the coffee maker itself since the sefect is with the pods and not the coffee maker.). Incident: Product is specifically TAssimo brand Cappuccino T-disc pods that are defective. I contacted TAssimo customer service and was told they have had reports of these specific t-discs exploding due to the pods not allowing hot liquid to expel into coffee cup. Pressure of hot water builds up, you can hear the coffe maker stressing and popping and then hot contents are sprayed out toward the user, me! I was told they would do nothing about my ruined coffee maker due to it being outside the 1 year warranty. But more disturbing, they told me to either discard the discs or take them back to the place of purchase which is Bed Bath Beyond. This store is aware of the issues and clearances the defective discs which I purchased not being aware they are defective and possibly dangerous. The company customer service rep ([REDACTED]) told me they have had several recent reports of the pods exploding. So much pressure builds up that it damaged my coffee maker and I had mess to clean up, but luckily I wasn't standing at the time where the creamer pod blew up avoiding getting burned. They were completely disinterested in the issue, and I was given a supervisor to talk to ([REDACTED]) and a case #[REDACTED].
