    "content_text": "Tassimo Milk: Building Your Own Milky Coffee, in summary: No coffee in the box at all: sixteen milk discs that make hot milk on their own. Run one before a black coffee disc and you choose the coffee, the strength and the size of the milky mug yourself.\nLast reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in September 2026.\nThe single most useful thing to know about this box is that it does not make coffee. It is the milk half of a milk drink, sold separately so you can pair it with whichever black disc is already in the drawer.\nHalf a drink, and that's the point \nMost milk drinks on a Tassimo come as a matched set in one box, with the ratio of milk to coffee decided before you open it. Buying the milk on its own hands that decision back. You pick the coffee disc, you pick how much milk goes with it, and you can make a milky version of a black coffee that has never been sold with a milk partner.\nThe uses are practical. Two milk discs will fill a large mug; one turns a black disc from the drawer into a white coffee; and a disc on its own gives a child a cup of warm milk while everyone else drinks coffee. A milk disc contributes no caffeine, so the caffeine in the finished cup depends entirely on the coffee disc it is paired with.\nOrder, cup and cleaning \nPut the milk disc through first and the coffee disc second, into one cup. Coffee brewed onto milk sinks through it and keeps its crema, while milk landing on top of coffee knocks the crema flat. A wide cup suits the build better than a tall one, and once the foam head has formed, leave it alone rather than stirring it away.\nEach disc carries its own barcode, which is how the machine knows to handle a milk disc differently from a coffee disc without any setting from you. If your machine has only ever brewed black coffee, run a cleaning cycle after the first milk drinks. The discs are made for Tassimo machines only, so a Dolce Gusto or Nespresso brewer is no use here.\nSixteen servings, sensibly paired \nThe box holds sixteen milk portions, not sixteen coffees, so order coffee discs alongside it unless you already have some. The neatest arithmetic is a sixteen-disc black coffee box: the Kenco Americano Grande, the Kenco 100% Colombian or the Kenco Americano Decaff each pair one for one, giving sixteen milky mugs. Use two milk discs a mug and the box makes eight larger drinks.\nIt suits a household that already owns a Tassimo and drinks milky coffee in more than one way, or someone who likes black coffee in the morning and white later on. These are milk discs, so they are no use to anyone avoiding dairy, and the carton carries the full allergen detail. If you only ever drink one boxed latte, the boxed version is simpler.\nThe packs we stock \n\nTassimo Milk 16 Servings (barcode 8711000500224)\n\nWhat to eat with it \n\nMcVitie's Hobnobs Milk Chocolate Biscuits, 262g: Milk chocolate and oats suit a milky mug built on whichever coffee you prefer.\nMaryland Cookies Double Chocolate, 200g: Chocolate cookies that suit a child's cup of warm milk as well as an adult's white coffee.\nBorder Butterscotch Crunch Organic Biscuits, 135g: Butterscotch sweetness sits comfortably beside a round, milky coffee.\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\nIs there any coffee in a box of Tassimo Milk? None. These are milk discs only, so the coffee discs have to be bought separately.\nDoes the order of the discs matter? Yes. Run the milk disc first and the coffee disc second into the same cup, so the coffee settles through the milk.\nHow many milky coffees does a box make? Sixteen if each milk disc is paired with one coffee disc, or eight larger mugs at two milk discs each.\nDoes the milk disc add caffeine? No. Any caffeine in the cup comes from the coffee disc you pair it with, so a decaf disc makes a decaf white coffee.\nWill the discs work in any pod machine? Only in a Tassimo. The barcode on each disc is read by Tassimo machines alone.\nCurator's note: Keep one box in the drawer beside the black discs and every one of them can become a white coffee. Milk first, wide cup, and leave the foam be.
