Pay $69 at Target (in store only) and claim your $75 cashback from here and end up with $6 in your pocket and a free coffee machine. Full Terms and Conditions can be found here

As well as the $75 cashback you can also claim a FREE Variety Pack Big thanks to DoubleUKayG for pointing this out.

Copy of receipt http://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/39370/22205/image.jpg

The capsules in the box were expired so the gave me a new box of capsules for free.

These are not on the shelves but are either in storage or in the office. I rang Target customer service on 1300 753 567 and was told there are quite a few stores in Melbourne with stock. Possibly other states too but I didn't ask. Call customer service to check whether your local store has stock.

Not to be confused with the Delonghi Dolce Gusto Genio 2 - EDG465B which is selling at Target for $144 ($69 after cashback)

Same machine selling for $134 (before cashback) @ David Jones - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/135746

If you can't find stock at Target try Officeworks (Big W has stock but won't price-match - exception)

MOD: The URL is now changed to Target. It's not available online but might still be available in store. However as other OzBargainer has commented, Target has now claimed that they have no stock left.

        Bankstown. It was the last one. I checked and their is an empty box on the shelf, they may have the machine in layby or something.

        They also knocked down $4 on price bc the capsules were expired. They let me keep them too haha

        So $65 all up. And $10 profit after cashback. Its been a good day today :)

    as per condition 2. "This offer applies only to the purchase of the following NESCAFÉ DOLCE GUSTO machines: GENIO, MELODY and CIRCOLO. (Note – PICCOLINI & MINI ME machines are excluded from this offer.) "

  • Pacify on 15/04/2014 - 17:03

    Man, the companies sure are pushing their Capsule machines hard. Not surprising i guess, since they make massive, massive mark up on the capsules themselves (What was the figure? Like 100$ a kilo for the actual coffee? I cant remember).

    They kinda make sense for an office, but who would want one to use at home?

    • tessel on 15/04/2014 - 17:16
      +2

      A friend of mine has one and somehow she thinks it isn't that expensive. I agree with you but she seems to believe that the $15 I spend on a 400g jar of coffee lasts as long as her 12 capsule pack or whatever she buys. Each to their own, I guess.

      • Pacify on 15/04/2014 - 17:37
        +6

        Strange. you an get a kilo of freshly roasted specialty single origin coffee for $25 or less.. that's an awful lot of capsules lol.

        Seems like nesso capsules work out at $120-140 a kilo. ouch. Thats one hell of a gold mine haha

        still don't understand this new capsule coffee rise in popularity. I guess its easy? Bit depressing how much waste they must produce if the pods are one time use made out of plastic :O

    • imcold on 15/04/2014 - 18:56

      Nothing is stopping you from getting two cups of coffee out of one capsule so lol ^^.

    • redraoh on 15/04/2014 - 19:37
      +2

      I have one at home and use it. Manual machines require much more cleaning and effort.

      I think it'd make less sense in an office. A lot more coffee would be consumed. They are better off with decent auto machines and cheap beans.

      • sane on 15/04/2014 - 21:00
        +2

        Do they?

        You have to fill both with water.

        You have to empty the grounds or pod into the bin.

        You have to fill the filter or drawer with fresh coffee/pod.

        About the only significant extra I can see is you need to freshly grind some coffee (turn dial on grinder, that's it), and put the portafilter under the tap.

        Hardly that much extra effort, for a much nicer cup and much lower costs.

        • redraoh on 16/04/2014 - 07:44

          For the same price machine, I find the pods taste better. I had a $200ish Breville machine that I barely used and ended up selling. The coffee it produced wasn't worth it. You could barely distinguish between different beans.

          With my Nespresso machine, I just have to clean the milk frother every day and once in a while I'll give the machine a decent clean. I fill it with milk and a pod, press a few buttons, come back in a few minutes and it's done.

          I might look into it again, because I'm getting a bit bored with pods. Whilst drinkable, they are still nothing on a decent takeaway coffee every now and then.

          BTW, do you recommend a brand/model?

        • Pacify on 16/04/2014 - 12:40

          Intresting. I always found the pod coffee ive tried to be bland with a hint of plastic, no where near the quality of some freshly roasted beans

    Worth noting that due to the out of date capsules, lots of stores won't sell these unless instructed to remove the old ones and put in new ones. I imagine generally this would be at the manager's discretion,

    • unity1 on 15/04/2014 - 17:18

      That's what happened to me. See my receipt above. I was given a brand new box of capsules as compensation.

      • scatman00 on 15/04/2014 - 17:22

        Seen the receipt, hence the post. The stores that 'have stock' but speaking directly to the stores they can't find them, suggests they are likely 'quarantined'. Hence people may struggle to purchase any if they can't get 'approval'.

  • JudasX on 15/04/2014 - 17:17

          I think if you ring up the Target stores directly they don't or can't check stock on a computer. I've rung up on a few times in the past and each they had to check the shelves in person. If there's only one or two items left sometimes it's hard to find.

    Let me suspect about the $6 on profit. As per the definition of "cashback" you are reinbursed from the amount you paid in the first place. Usually one need to upload a scanned copy of the invoce and then they will reimburse only $69 and not $75. Still the deal is great for the few lucky ones who manage find the machine in stock.

    • MoBeigi on 15/04/2014 - 17:42

      They will reimburse $75 or you can complain. I suspect Target are the ones losing a little money here.

      • patoruzu on 15/04/2014 - 17:45
        -7

        You can complain your "cashback" on the amount you paid. There is nothing forcing them to reimburse you more than what you paid. Look for the definition of reimbursing in the dictionary.

        But be sure that the canonical idea of cashback (which by definition cannot be greater than the paid ammount) prevails in the general case of non-trap products.

        Since here it is only $6 maybe they will not care and they will go ahead, since they are more than happy for having trapped a new fool into the far-from-bargain-coffee-capsule's world.

    • knackers on 15/04/2014 - 18:05

      you must live in an alternate universe, patoruzu

      • patoruzu on 15/04/2014 - 18:22
        -5

        Maybe, and you are the one who lives in the real world where you can "come back" to places you have never been before and people can "give you back" things you did not give them in the first place. Neat.
        Still, since the difference is only $6 maybe they pull the trigger as it is.
        But what I am saying is that they have all the right to look at your invoice and decide to reimburse only the paid amount: if they do so they would be acting 100% legally. Claims would not apply.

        • AJW on 16/04/2014 - 11:33

          It is not a reimbursement offer, it is a free $75 eftpos card with any purchase of the model. There is no minimum spend mentioned. Please read the T & C's

        • patoruzu on 16/04/2014 - 19:34
          -2

          So then the word cashback would not apply and it is incorrect claiming this deal is a cashback. It is something else then: not cashback.

  • loulou1 on 15/04/2014 - 17:42

    I rang Carindale, as CS said they have 5 in stock. the 5 they have are the new machines not the old ones, they searched high and low including in their 'banned and out of date items' and they don't have them there. so CS was probably looking at the new machine stocks instead of the old ones.
    I bought the Genio 2 yesterday and got sad when I saw this bargain posted, but since it looks like I couldn't have gotten one anyway I am not so sad now

    • JudasX on 15/04/2014 - 18:26

      I spoke to CS about an hour before you did, and I specifically told them it was the older one and not the newer one. They confirmed the price at $69 too. Though, I had the same luck when I called through to Carindale.
