20/8: As many of you are wondering where your claim validation is being 10 days now, it has been confirmed that they have been a little overwhelmed with claims and will take an extra 5 days to catch up. Also 32 free pods appear to be on their way.

Lavazza currently has a cash back promo on their pod machines until 6/9/15.
The Minu is collecting $50, Target currently selling for $49 (EDIT: Some stores are now selling at $24.50) (normally $59) so technically you can profit $1 (or $25.50) on these.
Still $49 at my local Target as of 14/8.

Like printers they love to make their money from the consumables so entry price is low, but ongoing can be high. Think the pods run about $10-$12 for 16. They are a nice compact unit though, so I grabbed one to keep as a backup if my automatic machine dies. (Cheers to my bro for spotting the special)

Some important info as per the T&Cs:
"Cash back of Lavazza A Modo Mio Minu White Capsule Machines are only available from Target and Dick Smith" so no price matching elsewhere on these ones.

Also the cash back form hasn't been updated completely from the last promo, and after submitting will tell you that its outside the (previous) valid date range but it goes through OK. You'll receive a confirmation e-mail and Lavazza state they will notify you of your claims validity within 10 days. (This has also been confirmed here)

It has now also been confirmed that multiple claims are ok

Not currently available online but should be plenty of stock across Target stores (although is listed under Clearance on Target website so may vary).

Update: Some stores have an extra 25% off clearance items, hence the $36.75 price tag. From the comments so far these are:
TTP SA
Highpoint (low stock)
Adelaide CBD (low stock)
Northland
Merrylands
Innaloo
Miranda
Sunbury (2 left, opened boxes)
Craigieburn (low stock)
Plenty Valley
Armadale

and now it seems some even have it @ 50% off:
Morley

No stock left at:
Tuggeranong
Knox City
Melbourne CBD
Hurstville
Rockdale
Warringah Mall
Caroline Springs
Camberwell
Doncaster
Waverley Garden
Macquarie Center
Parramatta
Airport West
Robina
Forest Hill
Bankstown
Castle Hill

Any more, let me know.

Register your machine here to receive 32 free pods. Thanks Chris

    Just came out having 10 think there is 30on the shelf, priced as $59 scanned as $49, told staff it was 25% off extra at many stores, the bloke said you will have to ask his manager, It was all good to go, separated all transactions. Even the check out dude said its steal normally they code $100.

    • bargainfinder on 06/08/2015 - 22:15

      you bought 10? how are you going to claim the cash back? Don't you need 10 different bank accounts as cash back is direct deposit to your bank? Unless they let you claim more than once for the same model?

      • DEvok on 06/08/2015 - 22:19

        I have quite a lot of saving cards due to Ozbaragin it's not even funny…
        Also doesn't look like in the T&C nothing ls listed that it's one per individual.

      • oliman on 06/08/2015 - 23:17

        How can you say that you need separate/unique bank accounts to claim cahsback of multiple units?

        • bargainfinder on 06/08/2015 - 23:35

          it was a question, with ? at the end. I am not sure, but unless they allow him to claim them all under his name, he need 10 different names/acc details/emails to claim?

  • ckria on 06/08/2015 - 22:22

    Bought one at Northland about 2 hours ago at $36.75 and they had heaps left. At least I could count up to 12 (if there wasn't any behind the shelf)

  • Nicoletta on 06/08/2015 - 22:27

    Just got another targeted deal via email after registering my machine to get the free capsules.

    Get $99 off the milk frother with free delivery AND another free box of pods for only $30.

    For those that have registered, check your emails for this deal!

      How much does the milk frother normally cost? You'd think if they discounted it by $99 you'd be in profit.

    • badarz on 07/08/2015 - 20:11

      I got that deal direct from the website without registering.

  • goms on 06/08/2015 - 23:19

    Reserved one at blacktown. I went to the layby department to pick it up, the box looked dodgy so I opened the box to inspect the condition of the machine. God I was shocked! I found the machine with all the parts scattered in the box without the proper packaging. No styrofoam or plastic covering the parts. In the water jug I can see a tiny white mould. I went to ask the girl at the layby but she wasn't interested on helping so she used the store intercom to call someone from the homewares department to come to the layby. No one showed up after a while and I asked her if there is anyone coming. She did another call went to the back to continue whatever she was doing with another girl and then after a while came back and called up again. One lady came into the layby department asking me if I was waiting for someone and I said yes. She then chatted to the other girl and left, presumably she's not from the homewares department. Then another guy came in and went to the back and was having a chat with the two girls without asking me if I needed any help. I fed up at this point and left the box in the trolley by the counter. I probably have waited about 20 minutes or so, not really sure because I didn't check the time.

    TLDR: Appalling customer service by Blacktown Target and they seemed to be selling a probably returned used product.

    Then I went to Merrylands and got a brand new machine for $36.75, there were plenty of stocks over there.

    Thanks OP, got one from the Parramatta store for $36.75 and combined it with the 5% off paypass from the ME deal! This is amazing if they come through with both the cash back and 32 capsules.

      OP actually explained it in his post - "Also the cash back form hasn't been updated completely from the last promo, and after submitting will tell you that its outside the (previous) valid date range but it goes through OK.

  • DEvok on 07/08/2015 - 01:22

    multiple claims are allowed, but are subject to the following: (a) only one (1) claim permitted per participating product purchased; and (b) each claim must be submitted separately and in accordance with the terms and conditions.

    So to answer your question you can claim more than once, just in a seperate order, so using same name numbers, email, name would be just fine.

    This is like getting a free printer with the replacement cardridges costing more than the printer would have been. Its just a way to lock you into buying their overpriced PODs. I'd stick to a nespresso, better off in the long run. Actually I wouldn't buy either, I use a moka pot which makes great coffee.

    • water on 07/08/2015 - 08:33

      Agree about the moka pot. Unfortunately mine broke after few months. Wish there's a good sale on it cos I'd grab another one.

      yeah i bought this deal and posted it earlier. But apparently the frother can be unreliable - see post in first page (i also summarise my experience with 3 brands of frothers).

      • rawm on 07/08/2015 - 09:53

        Cheers, yep since my comment I did more sleuthing and found comments talking about how unreliable they are. You still think its worth rolling the dice? Surely they arent going to sell a seriously dodgy product, are they? They would've fault tested them perhaps?

        • oak on 07/08/2015 - 10:46
          +3

          $129 frother for $30 with a free box of capsules - I figured it was worth the gamble. The deal that keeps on giving.

          Just spewing the Target I went to was $49 (opposed to the $37.50 or $24.50 that some people are getting)

        • rawm on 07/08/2015 - 10:56

        • lostn on 07/08/2015 - 18:56

          @oak: That frother costs more than the machine itself.

          Coles sells for $84 the machine with a frother included.

      • rawm on 07/08/2015 - 11:04

        Hey edrift, do you know then how much the ALDI frother sells for?

        • edrift on 07/08/2015 - 12:26
          +1

          i can't remember how much it was but it was the most expensive out of all of them. I think maybe $35?

          Honestly i think it's worth taking a gamble on the lavazza one for $30 delivered as you get the bonus free box of pods too.
          I guess if it breaks, just get a refund/replacement.

          I have no idea what the frother looks like, but if it's anything like the official nespresso ones that'll be pretty good! Those ones also sell for $120-130 i believe.

          @edrift: Actualy physically the frother looks very polished and hi-quality. It worked beautifully initially, and went down hill slowly after that. Be warned that you will spend your time trying to clean the contact points, hitting your fist on the lid, and swearing to the machine for wasting your time.

        • rawm on 07/08/2015 - 15:00

  • harper on 07/08/2015 - 19:42

    Still a few left in the Brisbane CBD, but they're for $49. I cant believe I did this but I lost the receipt. I'm guessing a screen shot of the transaction won't suffice when claiming the cashback so is it easy enough to get a refund at Target? The site says 'If you purchased an item from Target and it’s not of acceptable quality or doesn’t match the description, you can return it' Doesn't quite fit either of those boxes.

    • badarz on 07/08/2015 - 20:08

      Try going back and asking for a duplicate receipt. Or you can return it and buy it again. Also the Brisbane CBD price is negotiable. A few have got it at the lower price.

    • jdf on 07/08/2015 - 20:10

      Target are fairly good at retrieving your receipt if you can give them a time frame and the day of purchase and the total amount.

  • lostn on 07/08/2015 - 20:26

    Anyone have any thoughts about the machine itself?

    I heard there's no button for espresso and lungo, and you have to manually turn it off as it's pouring.

    • Nicoletta on 07/08/2015 - 20:46

      That's true but I quite like it as a feature - I can't walk away while it's pouring but it's easier to customise it for different sized cups. Bit of a different process to my previous Aldi machine but worth it for the nicer coffee.

    • imcold on 08/08/2015 - 22:08

      As an oz-bargainer I would try to get 2 cups of coffee into a large cup from a single pod. You need to use it to the fullest before you throw it away. :)

      • edrift on 08/08/2015 - 23:13
        +1

        Don't do this. Your coffee will taste like crap and you're better off drinking instant coffee.

        Espresso pods are only meant to pour out around 40ml otherwise it'll be bitter.

    • edrift on 08/08/2015 - 23:11

      I've had an aldi machine, two espresso compatible machines and a nespresso U machine before this lavazza machine.
      This lavazza machine is by far the most basic and poorly designed machine.
      You need to turn the lever to start/stop the pour manually, eject the pod manually, and potentially empty not one but two drip trays.

      If you don't know what you're doing it's easy to over extract the coffee and pour it too long which leads to crappy coffee.

      However, if you know what you're doing you can make a fantastic cup. In my opinion, the lavazza espresso capsules were the BEST pods I've tried. It tastes like an actual cafe quality coffee.
      It's comparable to when I used to make a coffee with my manual espresso machine.
      It's better than the aldi, nespresso and generic brand pods.

      • msmhw on 09/08/2015 - 08:22

        Is it better than the Aldi machine? I bought one and have the aldi not sure which one to keep.

        • edrift on 09/08/2015 - 11:35

          No it's not. Aldi machine is better but a lot bigger.

    10 Left at Dandenong. I haven't opened box but I'm thinking this isn't such a great deal when you consider the pods. Seems like they have a very limited selection with Mio only model pods that isn't always on sale alot… Might be better to spend a bit more on a machine with a better selection of pods which are probably on sale more.

    Edit - This seems like a cheap way to have pods.. Capsule seals to reuse pods.

    Not much cheaper but at least got hot chocolate.

      Free coffee machine isn't a good deal? Well I guess you have higher expectation than me and deserve a golden badge from MOD.

        Not exactly free, machine cost is built into the cost of pods. Bad if your a heavy coffee drinker. Perhaps I should cut down from my 5 coffees a day. :)

          ???? I am talking about you take the machine home get your cashback and don't use it at all or sell it on Gumtree. How is it not free? Did Lavazza force you to buy their pods?

    Bought this milk frother for $22.50 when I bought this free coffee machine. Seems to have good reviews. http://www.target.com.au/p/bellini-milk-frother-btmf5/544482…

    I picked up what looked to be the last one from Robina this morning. :) $24.50.
    I almost picked up the electric pizza cooker for the same price but told myself 'no'.
