Bosch TASSIMO-VIVY-TAS1252 user manual

The main difference between the TASSIMO VIVY and VIVY 2 models lies in their design and updated features.
1. Design: The TASSIMO VIVY has a round, compact design with a single button control, while the VIVY 2 features a more streamlined and modern design with a touch-sensitive control panel.
2. Water Tank Capacity: The VIVY has a slightly smaller water tank capacity of 0.7 liters, which is enough for around 3-4 cups of coffee. In contrast, the VIVY 2 has an increased water tank capacity of 0.8 liters, allowing for a few additional cups of coffee before needing to refill.
3. Energy Saving Mode: The VIVY 2 comes with an automatic energy-saving mode, which switches off the machine after a period of inactivity. This feature helps conserve energy and reduces electricity consumption.
4. Adjustable Cup Stand: The VIVY 2 has a height-adjustable cup stand, which allows you to use different cup sizes and mugs without splashing or spillage. The VIVY, on the other hand, does not have an adjustable cup stand and is designed primarily for standard cup sizes.
5. Updated Design Options: The VIVY 2 offers a wider range of color options compared to the VIVY. This allows customers to choose a machine that matches their kitchen or personal style preferences.
Overall, the VIVY 2 offers a more user-friendly design with added convenience features compared to the earlier VIVY model. However, both machines are capable of brewing delicious hot beverages using TASSIMO T-Discs.

The Bosch Tassimo Vivy 2 coffee machine is compatible with T-discs or capsules, which are specifically designed for use with Tassimo machines. You can use a variety of pods including coffee, espresso, cappuccino, latte, hot chocolate, tea, and various specialty drinks. There are many brands that produce Tassimo-compatible pods, such as Costa, Jacobs, Kenco, Twinings, and more.

On the Bosch TASSIMO Vivy TAS1252, red lights typically indicate a fault or a problem. Here are a few common red lights and their meanings:
1. Red Light Next to the Power Button: This usually indicates that the machine is in standby mode and is ready to brew a drink.
2. Red Light Under the Water Tank: This indicates that the water tank is empty or not properly installed. Check if the tank has enough water and is firmly placed in its position.
3. Red Light on the Front Panel: This light can indicate various issues, such as an empty drip tray, misaligned or blocked piercing unit, or a need for descaling. Refer to your user manual for specific troubleshooting steps based on the light pattern displayed.
