Opinion

I don't own one. The hardware itself looks great (very compact), and the pods include the most coffee. I'm satisfied with the Map Bella (Caffitally System) machine, and like it even more after this tip I posted previously https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/176753
Too bad Lavazza haven't licensed the system for other brands. Unless the pods come down in price, or are frequently discounted, this machine may prove popular to hack (reuse empty capsule pods) with own ground coffee, if that's even practical. Also a missed opportunity for Lavazza/Coles not discounting the pods a few $ while the machine is being promoted/discounted.

SUPERMARKET CAPSULE/POD COMPARISON
* Lavazza A Modo Mio range $10.99 ~ $11.99 (16 capsules each with 10g coffee, 160g total 7.5g coffee, 120g total) - 67c/pod (Sometimes discounted)
* Caffitally (e.g. Gloria Jeans ~ $7.50) 16 capsules each with 8 grams coffee, 128g total - 47c/pod (often discounted)
* Nespresso capsules (e.g. L'or Espresso ~ $6.50) 10 capsules each with 5-6g coffee, 52g total - 65c/pod (often discounted)

    A number of the Lavazza pods were on special at Coles last week for $8. I just had 7 boxes delivered last night. With free delivery plus a $10 coupon and $15 cashrewards they came down to less than $5 per box.

    Also David Jones has them on clearance if you can find any in store. Also $8 or $9.

      Neat, good to know they are being discounted. Will edit my post.

      • gadgetguy on 06/05/2015 - 19:23

        Just picked another two boxes at Myer also discounted to $10.13. I cleaned out David Jones!

    I own this system.
    It is correct that these pods are not regularly discounted.
    After in the past month there have been specials at coles & woolies (woolies started stocking them recently).
    These were included in the Myer Appliance sale and also commonly included in The Good Guys Ebay sale.
    I usually get at 20-30% off and stock up.

    Naturally the best coffee is bought direct from Lavaza. The coles variety isn't as good (better than nespresso imho). Tried the new red box and wasn't for me. Got a couple from the DJ sale and they're pretty good.

    SUPERMARKET CAPSULE/POD COMPARISON

    For a proper comparison, you should post $/kg

    • Lavazza A Modo Mio $10.99 ~ $11.99 (16 capsules each with 10g coffee, 160g total) - 67c/pod (Sometimes discounted)

    so $67/kg (compared to $15/kg at Coles today for beans. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/192786 ) 450% ?

    • Cafitally (e.g. Gloria Jeans ~ $7.50) 16 capsules each with 8 grams coffee, 128g total) - 47c/pod (often discounted)

    $60/kg.

    • Nespresso capsules (e.g. L'or Espresso ~ $6.50) 10 capsules each with 5-6g coffee, 52g total - 65c/pod (other brands also often discounted)

    $125/kg.

    • existence on 06/05/2015 - 16:24

      I would love it if the Modo Mio pods can be refilled easily with ground coffee. Doing this with Caffitaly pods is too involved, and I probably don't have the patience for a manual machine.

    Any good coffee machines recommendation. old style. No pods…only ground coffee. Around 100-200 bucks

    • dannyeei on 06/05/2015 - 17:30

      If you PM me I can give you a code for a Nescafe Dolce Gusto coffee machine which retails for $120 for $55. Not everyone likes it but I'm a big fan of it. The latte and americano are pretty great but their other varieties leave a little to be desired

      Don't forget the conical-burr coffee grinder, which may cost more than the espresso machine and certainly more than a drip-filter machine.
      But it will soon pay for itself as you buy 1kg bags, instead of 250g ground packets, which will be stale (or at least missing aroma) before you finish them.

  • tpanon on 07/05/2015 - 11:17

    @danielslater811 thanks for offer but I am not interested in pod coffee machine.

    @Manic - Agreed mate. Any recommended grinder?
