Limited time deal. ATL on this machine. From an earlier deal post:

This machine is quick and easy to use, and can be tweaked to create your perfect espresso. It's a great price for a machine of this quality and build, definitely not going to be the same as a top of the range espresso machine, but if you want convenience at an affordable price - this is it!

• 19 Bar Pressure
• Integrated Coffee Grinder (5 settings)
• Self Cleaning Functions
• Variable cup sizes
• 1500mL Water Tank
• Integrated Steam Wand for milk frothing
• Wand is easy to disassemble and clean
• One touch espresso
• 2 year manufacturer warranty

I'm not a massive coffee snob, but the espressos out of this machine aren't bad! Plus you can definitely adjust the beans and grind to get your desired coffee. It's also great because you get an easy espresso without having any capsules to worry about - just throw in your beans and you're good to go!

  Hmm seems the reviews aren’t fantastic though.

  Wow new ATL (vs $322 from 2020!)

  Here's a great in-depth review from @dpark88 at the time:

  I've been using the machine for a week now and my overall rating, taking into account cost, convenience, ease of use, and the end product is 4/5.

  After a bit of trial and error with the grind setting (I dialed mine to almost the finest point and found this the best for my beans), it produced a beautiful single shot with a silky smooth crema. Extraction was spot on.

  Of course, this is for when I make a flat white. Dialing it to around the mid way point is optimal for your long/short black and macchiato.

  The machine is really idiot-proof. No matter what setting you use, it will never come out sour or bitter as the grind settings aren't as varied as a standalone grinder, where you can set them for French press, V60, cold brew, aeropress, etc.

  Now to the cons. The steam wand isn't my favourite as the range of movement is extremely limited. It takes a bit of getting used to, and even then, I wasn't too happy with the result. At this price point however, one can't complain too much.

  The other con is you can only produce a single shot. I knew this when I bought it, but just so people are aware that there's no setting to make a double shot.

  Oh, and it doesn't come with a milk jug. Not a big deal as you can pick these up for $8 at Kmart or IKEA

  Overall, a sturdy, well-made machine that performs very well and is aesthetically pleasing.

  Beans used: St. ALi 'Wide Awake' and 'Orthodox'.

  Hot tip: Don't forget to remove the plastic bag around the grind bin! You wouldn't know it's there when you take the machine out of the box.

  And also a follow up update to that review:

  Have given the machine a very good workout past few weeks. I make at least four coffees a day, every day.

  I've got the steam wand down pat now. At first, I was trying to heat up too much milk in one go (300ml to make 2 coffees) using milk straight from the fridge.

  If you need to make 2 coffees, warm the milk in the microwave for about 40 seconds and then steam as usual.

  Yes, ideally you want to use room temp milk, but I don't want to stand around waiting for 30 mins, so the microwave method does work.

  If you're making 1 coffee (150ml milk), the wand is perfectly fine for this, even if you use milk straight from the fridge.

  At first, I was producing way too much foam for my liking. I struggled to get that smooth rotation going in the jug, but with practice, you'll get the hang of it.

    Sounds pretty solid.

    That comment about the single shot is strange. The description says either single or double espresso

      Can confirm (as I bought one) - there is a double shot button. 🤷‍♂️

  Thanks OP. This looks really good. Unfortunately, as I'm blind, and it has a touch screen, I wouldn't be able to operate it independently. Does anybody know whether a similar machine exists with physical buttons/tactual controls? Used for espresso/black coffee only? Many thanks.

    There are great bean to cup units with tactile controls but nowhere near this price range.

    North of $1000 are the only ones I know of.

    Have a look at the De'Longhi Magnifica black. It gets reasonable reviews, has physical buttons and around $500

  I had one of these for about 3 years before it died last year. Typically 1 long shot per day.
  For what it is, it's not bad but also not great. If you want to use your own beans with built in grinder then this is a marginally passable option but no matter what i did, I could not get it to extract for longer than about 8 seconds at most which ended up giving me a shot lacking much depth. If you've ever tasted the coffee extracted in the first 5 seconds, then the next 5 seconds and so on (depending on your beans and machine) you would know how incredibly different the coffee tastes at each stage.
  Would i buy it again? Unlikely but also because i've moved and now have 3 cafes within a 1 min walk that all do fantastic coffees.

    Thanks, had been considering whether or not to buy this but was a bit put off by what I had read elsewhere. I'll look at other options.
