Stuart's Bosch Tassimo Hot Drinks Machine Forum

This is feedback on a very old issue but since your site came up at the top of search results for "tassimo magnet" I thought I would share for others who still want to try fixing theirs. I noticed that even when the little central button bit of the tassimo float was rusted and missing (leaving a little hole) the float was still magnetic (tested with a compass), but just not strong enough. Made me wonder what the little missing rusted button had been made of, so I read https://www.kjmagnetics.com/blog.asp?p=block-or-extend and then added a 5mm x 2mm spare steel nut in the hole where the rust had come out, and that has strengthened the magnet inside the float and it now works again when put back in the tank. Something like the right size nail head (clipped off the rest of the nail) would probably work too - just needs to something made of steel which fits in the little hole left by whatever rusted out.
