Water Tank and Filter

• The most notable difference between the TASSIMO and the TASSIMO Suprema is the water tank. The TASSIMO has a 68-ounce water tank that you can remove to fill, but it doesn't have a water filter. The TASSIMO Suprema has a slightly smaller removable water tank, which holds 61 fluid ounces, but it also includes a special water filter and an LCD monitor that tells you when it is time to change the water filter.
