Yes, the Tassimo Suny will prove capable of brightening up the day for lovers of various hot drinks. It offers good versatility, is very easy to use, quiet and offers great ease of maintenance. There’s not much to fault it as a multi-drink machine. On the other hand, the coffee it prepares is not the most popular, we advise espresso lovers to turn to a more specific machine, such as a Nespresso or Malongo model, for example.
