    "content_text": "Tassimo L'OR Americano: A Brazilian Long Black, in summary: One T DISC makes one long black, so this box gives fourteen cups. The discs name a single origin, Brazil: low in acid, full in body, nutty and cocoa-leaning, which is what an americano needs.\nLast reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in September 2026.\nEvery cup from this box comes from a single disc, so fourteen discs make fourteen americanos, where the milk drinks on the same machine need two discs a serving. The discs carry a named origin, 100% Brazilian, and that choice of coffee is the real reason to pick this box over a house blend.\nWhy Brazil suits a long cup \nAn americano is mostly hot water, and whatever the coffee brings has a long way to travel through it. A bright, fruity single origin can grow tiring over a big mug, because the sharpness keeps arriving sip after sip. Brazilian coffee sits at the other end of the map: low in acidity, heavy in body and leaning towards dark chocolate and a toasted, nutty note rather than citrus or flowers.\nThat profile is why the cup holds together down to the last mouthful. The body gives the bottom of the mug some substance, the cocoa note runs through the middle and bitterness stays restrained. Home brewing usually turns bitter through too much contact time; on a Tassimo the machine sets the contact time and the volume from each disc, so that route is closed.\nWhat the barcode decides for you \nTassimo's Intellibrew system reads the barcode printed on every T DISC and sets the brewing time, the water temperature and the volume itself. That is why the machine asks nothing of you first thing in the morning, and also why the front panel will not let you stretch one disc into a bigger drink.\nFor a large mug, run two discs into it; one disc in a big mug simply makes a weak coffee. For a white americano, let the disc finish and then add a splash of hot milk, rather than brewing onto cold milk. The Brazilian body has enough weight to read through dairy, which not every black pod can claim, so the coffee does not vanish under it.\nChoosing between the black discs \nThe Tassimo discs we carry include several black coffees, and they divide by what the pack promises. The Kenco Americano Grande and the Costa Americano carry those brands' own long blacks, the Kenco 100% Colombian names a different single origin, and the Kenco Americano Decaff covers the evening. Choose this L'OR box when you want a round, low-acid Brazilian cup that stays easy to drink all morning.\nTassimo began in France in 2004 as a Kraft Foods system, and since 2008 its brewers have carried the Bosch name. The discs fit Tassimo machines only, not a Dolce Gusto or a Nespresso brewer, and no adapter changes that. When the box is empty, Podback, the UK pod recycling scheme Tassimo joined as a founding partner, is one route for the used discs; check the carton and your council.\nThe packs we stock \n\nTassimo L'OR Americano 100% Brazilian Origin Coffee, 14 Pods 119g (barcode 8711000588031)\n\nWhat to eat with it \n\nLotus Biscoff Caramelised Biscuits, 250g: A caramelised biscuit picks up the toasted, nutty middle of a Brazilian cup.\nMcVitie's Digestives Dark Chocolate Biscuits, 433g: A big pack to keep pace with fourteen morning cups, its dark chocolate finding the cocoa note in the coffee.\nMaryland Cookies Caramel & Chocolate Chip, 200g: Chocolate chips and caramel for the mid-morning mug; a low-acid black coffee has no sharp edge to argue with them.\n\nElsewhere in the Tassimo range \nTassimo Cadbury Hot Chocolate, 8 Pods 240gTassimo Cadbury Mocha, 10 Pods 160gTassimo Costa Americano Coffee, 12 Pods 108gTassimo Costa Cappuccino Coffee, 6 PodsTassimo Costa Caramel Latte Coffee, 6 Pods 173.4gTassimo Costa Latte Coffee, 6 Pods\nThe full range is on the Tassimo brand page.\nFAQ\nDoes one disc make one americano? Yes. The americano is a single-disc drink on this system, so fourteen discs give fourteen cups; it is the milk drinks that take two discs a serving.\nWhat does 100% Brazilian origin mean for the flavour? Expect low acidity, a full body and a nutty, chocolate-leaning middle rather than bright fruit, which is the general character of Brazilian coffee.\nHow do I make a bigger mug? Run two discs into the same mug. The barcode fixes each disc's volume, so one disc cannot be stretched without turning weak.\nCan I drink it iced? Yes. Brew two discs into a jug, give it a minute to settle, then pour it over a glass packed with ice.\nWill these discs fit a Nespresso or Dolce Gusto machine? No. T DISCs are made for Tassimo machines only, and there is no adapter.\nCurator's note: Let this be the everyday black box and keep the sweet pods for treats. Two discs in a big mug on a slow Saturday is how it shows its best side.
