OzBargain favourite coffee machine is $100 off at Costco!
May also be eligible for Bonus Gift Pack valued at $196. As pointed out by "itslittfam" this might be the BES875 model so we need confirmation on that.

Are there actual Breville factory seconds stores?
Yes.
The Sydney Wattle Street store closed down, do you know any other store in Sydney?
In store for $589.99 until 9th May or until stocks last.
This is not eligible for the Breville Gift Pack. The Costco model is BES875, whereas the Breville Gift Pack requires you to buy the BES870.
What's the difference between the two?
The BES875 comes with a thermo jug to monitor the temperature of milk. The BES870 comes with a plain jug.
I've revised the promotion bit until we get a confirmation, thanks.
Add a extra $150 to buy the Single Dose Hopper, else you get 3g of stale beans in every shot.
Or just get cheap scales and only add 18g each time?
The grinder isnt designed for Single Doses, so some amount of coffee gets caught up in the grinder.
Here is a video on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6x-eKMajcTw
I think its more like ~1g
I can live with that. And at worst its yesterday's 1g. I think with this machine, worrying about that is a bit over the top. So many other variables to sort out first.
There will be retention inside the grinder
But if you are using something like this it will be better. Tho it's expensive. https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/945070338/brevillesage-grind…
Would it be worth replacing a De'Longhi Dedica with this?
I already have a grinder, so I'm thinking not… If anyone has a good, non-grinder inclusive alternative around this price to suggest it'd be appreciated.
If you already have the grinder, maybe go for the cheaper Breville Infuser model? Same mechanism as the express without the grinder
Are you happy with your De'Longhi Dedica or is it not good enought and that's why you are thinking about upgrading? I'm planning on buying one in a few months and would like some feedback in the meantime.
It's good overall. If you want coffee for two it gets a little less good, as you really have to wait a while until it rejiggers and gets ready for the second cup. Forget 3+ people..! And it can be a bit inconsistent, depending on how long you leave it on for before you make your coffee.
Overall, for the $150 I paid, it's been a million miles better than instant, a long way better than pods and not far enough behind a local barista coffee that I miss them too much. I'd love something that can do two cups at once, or didn't have the down time inbetween, and was a bit more consistent.
try switch off and on the machine in between, it saves you 10-15 seconds. I think the coffee machine for $200 is a good value but the grinder always grinds a few grams more, is it possible to adjust it?
Great entry machine, great price. Slack sesame is where it's at.
@gonzule - If I'm looking at the right one, it's currently the same price as this offer?
Apparently yes, it's priced the same, but it sometimes goes on sale for 190
Only online delivered or in store as well?
I still prefer the combination of Breville Bambino Plus + Breville smart grinder. main reason is the ability to do auto milk texturing when you are lazy. i know a few friends who bought the express and used it only a couple of times because they cant get the milk texturing right.
It's slightly cheaper in store at $589.99 Could only see stainless models in the Perth Costco warehouse, but can confirm that it's the BES875BSS model so no eligibility on the mother's day bonus.
Fyi - if your buying the appropriate model through good guys commerical it is eligible for this promotion.
Thanks op didn't even realise it was on and now getting a free kilo of coffee as a result (bought the bambino plus)
No problem, enjoy the machine and the free coffee :)
I got one from Good Guys today and they matched the Costco price I just showed Costco website on my phone
Good luck
Just tried to price match this deal in a WA Good Guys store. No luck and said they only work off an approved list and definitely not Costco. Bit of a bummer. Did you say anything special?
Really great beginner machine. Can be messy just incase that bothers you. Worth checking out if you have Breville factory seconds near you, I was able to get a new open box example for $399.
