First time coffee machine buyer and after doing the rounds decided to pull the trigger on one of these. So far very impressed. Should pay for itself in a few months.
Currently this is the cheapest on market and shipped via Delonghi eBay store (mixed reviews).
If buying on eBay be sure to use gift cards for another 3% off.
I attempted a price match at JB and was rejected. To my surprise I popped into hardly normal tonight as they were the only local retailer with stock and my plan was to see it in person then order on eBay however they were able to price match after asking the boss and getting “vendor funding”. So I walked out with the machine at $1267 (less Harvey Norman gift card discounts). YMMV.
There is a cheaper model also available which doesn’t have wifi but is pretty much the same (online specs are a bit inconsistent about exactly the difference).
I started making coffee at home before work to save on cost. Now i have a coffee at home and one at work…
