Yes, the Tassimo Suny will prove capable of brightening up the day for lovers of a variety of hot drinks. It offers good quality versatility, is very easy to use, silent and offers great ease of maintenance. There’s not much to fault it as a multidrink 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.
