Kraft’s Tassimo falls short of expectations

Kraft Foods Inc. has not seen the sales growth it once expected from the Tassimo hot beverage system and may take charges as it evaluates the business, the company said.

Kraft has regularly touted Tassimo as one of the products that customers are shopping for. The machine brews single-serve packets of coffee and other drinks. Kraft, based in Northfield, Ill., makes Maxwell House and other coffees.
