You can currently get the Breville BEC500XT Prodigio Capsule Machine which includes the milk frother for $160.65 from the GoodGuys eBay store using the 15% off discount code. (RRP is $399). I've had one of these (well, the DeLonghi version, but it's exactly the same other than the colour) for a while now, and it's been really good. Even has bluetooth (fairly pointless, but what the hey).

It's $120.65 after claiming the Nespresso cash back. Less cash rewards ($2.46) and the $60 coffee credit the effective cost of the machine for me will be $58.19 - At that price I decided to grab another one of these as a present!

The automatic ejection of used pods is excellent. I also find that after it ejects the pod, it does not drip from the spout (my old one, and a number of other ones I've tried, all seemed to drip and needed a cup to catch that). Only minor issue is the pod holder needs to be checked a little more regularly to empty used pods and water. Not a major ask to do though, so can live with that - generally do it when I top up the water tank.

SPECIFICATIONS
Weight: 3.63 Kilogram
Used capsule container capacity: 19
Empty water tank detection
Automatic ejection of used capsule
Fast heat-up
Folding drip tray for a taller glass
Descaling alarm
Dimensions (WxDxH): 210 x 365 x 260 mm

    Good price.

    I have liked my Nespresso Pixie with its manual eject lever as I can do 2 or 3 short/long cycles before I eject the pod to make it a bit stronger (without using 2 pods per coffee). I wonder if I would regret upgrading to the smarter, auto-eject model..

    • PlasticSpaceman on 20/08/2017 - 13:08

      You could always pick up the pod from the bin and put it through again…. but if you do that a lot, then yeah - you'd probably find it annoying.

      • systmworks on 20/08/2017 - 13:34

        It would pierce different holes and probably leak around the pod.

        • systmworks on 20/08/2017 - 18:21

          Ah what the - bought one - wont know till I give it a go!

  • [Deactivated] on 20/08/2017 - 14:18

    I was thinking of it as well. But finally got the red citiz with milk in store.

  • tuvz on 20/08/2017 - 14:24

    I've had the citz n milk for a few years. Would this be an upgrade, downgrade or same same?

    • Hellfire on 20/08/2017 - 14:37

      Same same

  • dylanando on 20/08/2017 - 14:24

    How loud are these? Will i wake up the whole house if I have one going at 3am?

  • seb07 on 20/08/2017 - 16:19

    Looks like a good little machine, thanks for the Sunday impulse purchase

    • PlasticSpaceman on 20/08/2017 - 17:00

      Don't mention it - always happy to help other people to spend their money. Oh, it should also come with a collection of 16 'free' pods. ;-)

  • CheaperPlox on 20/08/2017 - 17:13

    Anyone know if the frother has the cold function where instead of heating it up, it helps to make an iced coffee instead?

    • PlasticSpaceman on 20/08/2017 - 17:40

      Yep. Press the button and it goes red, heats/froths the milk. Takes about 60 seconds. Press and hold the button for a couple of seconds and it turns blue, and froths for about 60 seconds but doesn't heat the milk.

      • PlasticSpaceman on 20/08/2017 - 17:43

        Oh, and the little spinny thing that does the frothing has a spring on it. Remove it (the spring) if you don't want it that frothy. I tend to leave it off for my 'flat white'.

    This item is temporarily sold out

      It will magically go back in stock the day after the sale ends.

      This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing.

      Error = we forgot to raise the price by 12%.

  • lostn on 20/08/2017 - 19:44

    Is this that Bluetooth one that used to go for $99 a year ago?

    • PlasticSpaceman on 20/08/2017 - 20:23

      Basically. That was the DeLonghi I got (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/282535). This is (was) a better deal at $160 less $100 cashback/credit making it effectively $60….

      • lostn on 21/08/2017 - 13:57

        That's assuming you buy Nespresso's expensive pods that never go on special, and you have to order in quantities of 5 sleeves at a time. The only time I buy them is when there's a promo going on (AMEX CB + free sleeves a year ago), or I can snag a Welcome offer with a free gift.

        • PlasticSpaceman on 21/08/2017 - 14:53

          Yep, but it's still better than the $99 after cashback given this was $120 after cashback and came with $60 credit ie for $21 you get $60 worth of coffee…. just saying. :-)

  • systmworks on 22/08/2017 - 20:07

    I picked up my new coffee machine on the way home from work today. Just processed the cashback + pods claim.

    Was easy to find/set up the machine via Bluetooth in the Nespresso app.
    In the app I named it Kevin. Kevin makes good coffee.

    I did a test schedule of making a Decaf Lungo 5 mins later - and sure enough 5 mins later it make my coffee.
    Cant see a way to schedule any water cycles (to top up) after the pod has ejected though.

    • PlasticSpaceman on 22/08/2017 - 20:57

      Cool. I assume named Kevin after the lead actor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_McCarthy_(actor)) in the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers film that coined the term 'pod people'?

      My claim was processed really quickly….. apparently I already have credit in my account, although I can't login at the moment as it keeps coming up with an exception error. Hmmm.

      • systmworks on 22/08/2017 - 22:12

        Hah you overthought that one.

        My wife chose the name Kevin - I didnt ask why but am guessing after the Minion.

        Although Coffemachine Kevin does roll off the tongue.

        • systmworks on 23/08/2017 - 06:46

          Kevin dutifully made my coffee on schedule at 6:10am while we were still in bed. Pity he can't deliver it to the bedroom!

          I don't use the milk frother so was just a matter of pressing the Lungo button again to add more water and drop in a teaspoon of vanilla icecream.

          The lady at Good Guys has one and thought the Bluetooth feature was a bit pointless since you still have to get up anyway - but having the machine turn on, heat up, and run the first cycle saves time standing around waiting.
          Plus it forces you to get out of bed!
