@Andreas: Thanks so much for your contribution! I'm getting enough here that I'm seriously thinking of setting up a wiki to gather this all together...
Some quick comments on your notes:
* First, thanks for the tea T-DISC codes - this will help to mock up some barcodes on my end to see if I get similar results;
* Second: I do appreciate taking into consideration the variance of material absorbtion on volume, however, the root "program" is designed to account for this. Ergo, if it outputs 250ml using the mock object, that's a good baseline - sure, there may be slightly less once the real beverage is prepared, but this is immaterial to matching the codes.
Given what I've read from the patent, the Tassimo is a very precise machine when it comes to heating and dispensing water, flow of air, etc. The patent even specifies the type of device that can be used to digitally measure the amount of water - it's really quite incredible!
Hence, while I think there is definitely some variance with the table values, I'm fairly certain that within a minor degree of error, a lookup such as that in Table 3, is accurate - it's just getting the right values for that table that's proving to be problematic!
Thanks again for your input - I'm glad to connect with another curious, like mind!
