DeLonghi Nespresso Essenza Mini Coffee Machine Bundle ($179 with $30 Coffee Credit) from JB Hi-Fi

70

Considering that we will be stuck at home for a while working from home, I was looking for a small coffee pod machine that could fit easily on the kitchen bench. Came across this offer from JB Hi Fi for the bundle and includes a $30 coffee credit on redemption.

Understand that this has been cheaper in the past, but seems to be the cheapest currently with the credit.

Alternatively, you can get a $20 shop credit at TGG, at the same price.

The advantage of this machine is the small size with lots of compatible pods.

  • You should consider the Nespresso subscription if you drink more than 2 coffees a day in your household. $1 or $10 for the machine

    • Only issue with the subscription is the really high per month payments. For the same bundle, Nespresso would extract $910 from you as 'credits that you can use in the store.

      • You get that money as credit to buy coffee. So if you're already committed to buying that much coffee, then the subscription model makes sense

          I agree with dangerdanger here if you goanna drink nespresso coffee everyday get the subscription. I bought a new nespresso machine outright but still find myself spending $60 a month on pods.. I could of got the machine for $1 and got pod credits

    Should check outlet section of delonghi website. They have Inissia for only $79. Inissia has roughly same dimension with essenza.

    • Thanks for this tip. I had been looking for a replacement for my Inissia but didn't want to spend $250 on it.

      Cheers! Had been looking for something to take on road trips. Most air bnb places have decent machines but got stung with but I have supplied you with “international roast 3-in-1” when asking if they had a coffee machine on check in.
      Although not clear if it comes with a milk frother (low priority for my needs).

      • I’m not sure what kind of coffee you expected to be supplied at an AirBnB…

    If you're stuck at home, get a real espresso machine and stop wasting money on convenience junk like these. The unnecessary packaging, expensive per coffee cost and stale-arse beans. Delicious.

      These are fine

        Agree. For convenience, small coffee needs, small kitchens, these are fine.
        For coffee snobs - sure buy and roast your own beans, have your own home barista-grade machines. I personally don't have the time for that degree of commitment

    • I'm kinda with you whichwhatwho. The price of these super small pods and expensive machine for a pretty ordinary coffee doesn't make sense to me either. Only 5g in a Nespresso pod, at least Map etc are 8g and you can get them to around 11g if you fill them yourself (with decent coffee).

      • It's not even my biggest gripe, it's the needless packaging and landfill in the name of convenience. An individually wrapped pod of shit coffee because someone is too lazy to pull a (profanity) shot using beans. You can have yourself a regular espresso machine for a few hundred bucks.

          Yeah, the 'perception' that Nespresso are a more environmentally friendly recycled product doesnt quite meet the true narrative.

          The amount of energy required just to make an aluminium pod alone is quite high.

          To recycle a metal container full of coffee requires a specialist plant / facility, plus transport of a heavy product to get it to such a facility. Again, this uses significant energy

          Then over 70% aren't recycled anyway!

          The spin off plastic brand ones are probably recycled by a very small percentage (need to wrip of foil cover, wash out, place plastic cup in recycling).

          Those who put the whole pod in a normal recycling bin thinking they are are the right thing are actually stuffing up the recycling for everyone else (as it would be 'contaminated') and they will just dump the lot, or like in China, not accept it because it's too contaminated..then dump it.

          So I'm firmly in the refill pods camp, or straight beans. Just bought a second hand Delonghi Perfecta for almost half the cost of this machine.

    • Well feel free to post some deals on a “real” machine.

      • -1

        Literally any other coffee machine that isn't a pod machine.

    This is a great coffee machine and cheap coffee pods always on sale.
