Thanks unity1 for the discussion. Although you order through TGG ebay store, the Receipt/Tax Invoice is identical to the one you would be issued if you purchased the in store. I have notched that there is no mention of eBay on the Receipt/Tax Invoice, so you would have no problems to claim this cash back offer.

      I have one of these a day. At 75c each. I would pay more for these if I had to, considering the cheaper alternatives (nespresso, gloria jeans, etc) taste as bad as instant.

  • Brouw3r on 18/08/2014 - 22:12

    This is the best capsule coffee I have tried. Should be noted that coles sell the pods now (albeit only 3 varieties, but deciso is the best anyway which they have.) ~$12 for 16 pods.

    I saw a sticker on one of these machines yesterday in coles which said you can claim 32 free pods for buying one, I can't find a link to this anywhere though.

    I got this one last year, and the steamer doesn't work anymore - not that I use it. I don't know if they fixed it with this one, but the one thing I don't like about mine is that it will not stop extracting until you press the button again.

    Edit: For anyone who's after one that does milk too, myer have one for $75 with a steam wand AND separate frother ($124.50 - $50 cash back).

    • gmail92 on 20/08/2014 - 16:17

      Cheers for this. Cancelled my GG order and placed a Myer order. I reckon this is a great deal by itself, since 124.50 is already at a 50% sale until this sunday. Not to mention this GG deal doesnt include a frother. I reckon its also worth publishing as a separate deal if you have the time !

      Also Myer confirmed to be participating in the offer with no potential Ebay confusion.

    Everyone of these capsule machines i try produce a coffee too weak for me. (haven't tried ány from lavazza). There is simply not a large enough dose of coffee in the capsules.

    • cannedhams on 19/08/2014 - 10:19

      Its the same for Lavazza. Nespresso and Caffitaly, they all make really weak coffee. I have a plain old drip coffee pot at home which I prefer because I can make it strong enough to choke a brown dog.

  • luka on 18/08/2014 - 22:17

    You can also get capsules on ebay. Original and not original. Unsure about the quality of the latter ones.

  • chillipaste on 18/08/2014 - 22:17

    legit question - any good? from existing owners?

    • Brouw3r on 18/08/2014 - 22:30

      I would (and recently have to a colleague) recommend this to anyone who is after a capsule machine. The coffee from it is miles above any other pod I've tried.

      Just be advised that this will only give you a shot of espresso (or watered down espresso if you let it). If you want a flat white or a cappuccino, you'll need to get a milk frother.

    • dissin on 18/08/2014 - 22:33

      Best pod capsules I've tasted. Lavazza or illy for coffee. ..cant go wrong

      Various flavours and intensities you can taste the difference. One of favourites is lungo (yellow / brown colour pod) for larger cup size, but stick with small cup instead for that "hit"

    • Mr Wowtrousers on 19/08/2014 - 09:21

      Lavazza is good coffee, but my sister's machine she got a few years ago was always dodgy. Maybe they have improved the quality of the machines …

      I use Aldi ones at work and a Sunbeam Cafe Crema with "real" coffee at home. I feel guilty about the pods and wastage/refuse. They are the plastic water bottles of the coffee world.

    The Espresso button is a manual button.. Instead of measuring 40ml or 50ml and then turning off, it will pour espresso continuously until you press the button again. This means you have to know exactly how much and when to stop.

    Coles is about to have the Minu on special for I'm guessing $49. Some stores have already had it for that price the past few weeks.

  • Paklog on 19/08/2014 - 07:33
    • Happy to recommend this machine - have had one for two years now. Far and away the best pod machine due to the (much) larger dose of coffee per pod. Previously pods only available at H/N, but now Coles have a range and they are frequently on special. H/N always drop a couple of dollars when you ask the question though - just tell them Coles are having a special. Morning coffee is something you can't take shortcuts on so choose carefully! My Mio machine has just been replaced by a fully auto Krups, takes up half of the kitchen bench. Certainly worth it though as I am in WA - the home of the $7.50 coffee!
  • cornucopia on 19/08/2014 - 07:45

    I use a delonghi Pixie and set the (adjustable) water volume to a miniscule half egg cup full (like they do in Italian espresso bars) and using Vittoria coffee it produces a credible intensity. It helps with the flavour if you prewarm the cup (I pop it in the microwave for a minute). With DIY capsules it's 12c a cup. Just sayin'……:-) !!

    • shadow131 on 19/08/2014 - 19:18

  • maverickjohn on 19/08/2014 - 08:24

    The Pods for these don't really make the machine worth it, I have the premium one and it's dumped in the garage. You practically need two pods to make a coffee worth drinking and even then my manual Breville machine makes much much nicer coffee at a fraction of the price.
    The machine is cheap but I just don't see the value in it when coffee preparation and costs are no good

    How does this compare to the aldi expressi machine?

    • Dr PhilGood on 19/08/2014 - 10:19

      Would like to know this too.

      • 00 on 28/08/2014 - 14:02
        +1

        I've compared both. The Aldi machine feels cheaper overall and pushes water through the capsules differently. The Aldi one pierces the top of the capsule only and relies on water to come out of the top also. The 'pins' it uses are flimsy and sometimes the capsules don't entirely pierce and so you waste them. With the LavAzza machine both ends of the pods (bottom and top) are pierced and the water is pushed from one side of the pod, through it completely.

        With the Aldi machine if you run the machine with no pod, water comes out of the nozzle. With the LavAzza the water will just go directly into the drip tray. As the machine is designed to push the water through the pod, if there is no pod then the water just falls into the tray. This caught me out by surprise and I tried running water through it to 'flush' the machine upon first use. However I ended up with a tray and eventually table covered in water.

        I would recommend the LavAzza machine over the Aldi in terms of ease of use and noise also. It is considerably quieter (but that could be just down to the individual machine) and the large pull mechanism to insert/reject the capsule gives you better leverage. With the Aldi machine there is no large handle and sometimes if you don't apply enough force the capsule isn't pierced properly.

        • unco on 28/08/2014 - 14:45
          +2

          Did you pull the "this is not a handle" lever down when trying to flush the machine?
          It worked for me and flowed through the spout.

          It even said on the instruction manual to put a cup under the spout and flush it before first use.

          @unco:

          yep i do this before every cup and to warm up the cup at the same time

          any tips for making a killer cuppa? here's my routine that i've developed:

          1) Insert pod and let the water run until it turns off automatically. This fills up the cup about halfway.
          2) In a separate cup, pour half cup of milk, heat up milk in microwave and then use a whizz stick to froth up the milk
          3) Add the frothed up milk to the coffee cup
          4) Drink

        • Dr PhilGood on 29/08/2014 - 16:49

          @dajackal:

          Wouldn't it be easier (and reduce washing) to heat the half cup of milk first and then drip the coffee into the same cup? This is what I do.

    • Mr Wowtrousers on 19/08/2014 - 13:44
      +3

      I can imagine the coffee being "better" because, well, Lavazza is pretty good coffee.

      At the end of the day, I am drinking pod coffee at work because it is better than the free Nescafe 43 and cheaper than a proper long black each day. I am not necessarily drinking pod coffee because it is "good", I am drinking it because it is "good enough" ;

  • xii on 19/08/2014 - 10:33

    $24 for a coffee machine, feedback seems positive thus far. This machine is a bargain. Even if personally you have a problem with the taste of the coffee, $24 isn't much to drop.

  • dalealford on 19/08/2014 - 10:41

    we have been using one of these ( model up with steam nozzle ) at work and another ( smaller model ) in our caravan when away for the last few years.
    Best capsule machine there is from a taste perspective, without doubt.
    I have a manual machine for when i want to do that, but for a quick shot, or when i am at work and just want the simplicity of pods, this is the way to go.

    Happy to pay more for pods that are decent.
    I have nothing against the Aldi machine having used one too at work, but the coffee while ok just isnt as good by comparison.

    The Divinamente pods ( dark blue / purple ones )are my favourite.

          Thanks for your reply. Did you submit it for cash back claim? Wondering why the eBay part should interfere with the cash back as it is by TGG anyway.

          @peuwayaqdq:
          Sorry late reply. Yes, I did submit hide nothing.
          And I received approval mail today.

    OK I got a copy of tax invoice (not sales order) for both my coffee machine processed by two different Good Guys stores. Both mentioned reference to eBay delivery. Reading the terms and conditions again, one can interpret that third party ebay retailers that are not eligible and TGG ebay should be eligible?

    Bah mine was faulty so I had to return it. Unfortunately they had no stock left so I settled for a refund. Hoping the cash back goes through so I can make $30 profit.

      How come they had no stock? Their eBay store is still selling it.

        ebay orders will be directed to stores which still have stock. It does not mean every store will have stock.
