Noticed this in the upcoming ALDI Special Buys / current catalogue. If you're looking for a budget-friendly, entry-level espresso setup, this might be worth a look.
Key Specs:
15bar pressure pump
Milk frother function
0.9L detachable water tank
Cool shot function
Dual wall filter
Removable drip tray
literally nothing to do with politics you sound obsessed 💀
@tenpercent: yes because a post about a coffee machine requires a comment seemingly complaining about positive changes to negative gearing
@tenpercent: Nothing cheap about Joy Division. Well, unless you're a brainwashed poorly educated cooker.

James Hoffmann reviewed a very similar product about a year ago and gave it a great review, so it's hard to see how this wouldn't be an improvement on that. Video's here if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX6F_l_KreM&t=636s
It's like they heard him say "they could have cheaped out even further" and ran with it
They've dropped the touchscreen which I see as a huge plus, and James would be pleased!
Curious about this one. It means frother instead of steamer, but it does 15bar vs 9bar in even the Breville bambino plus. And that is around $500!
The Bambino pump does a maximum of 15 bars but at the point of extraction, it's targeting 9 bars which is what you want. It's not just a case of more is better.
All pumps in basic residential machines are the same 15bar pump bud. Like literally the same pump.
I pull em out of scrap pod machines etc and whack them in Magnifca's, Batista Express, Jura… whatever…
There is a spring inside the water lines to the purge tray that they aim to purge anything above 9bar.
Some stuff it up, and you get a 12bar super channeling bitter making poop maker. 8-9 bar is the magic pressure.
Just marketing… almost worked for em…
‘Super channeling bitter making poop maker’ made me happy
You need 9bar for espresso. That's it. Everything above that is released via a valve. Higher pressure pump =/= better quality coffee.
Probably better off getting a delonghi stilosa
Could these do mochas or asking too much?
Believe the Stilosa is also 15 bar. Which is better?
See comment re 15 bar marketing above.
Got the Delonghi at GG last weekend for about $150 with an SMS voucher for $30 and price beat.
Looks a lot nicer than this, not sure if it's any better or worse but lots of aftermarket support and community information on that one.
Makes a decent coffee, not coffee nerd level but good enough.
Which model?
https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/delonghi-dedica-arte-manual-c… $187 with price beat button, then you need the SMS code if you have one.
Far out, looks cheap.
