My wife entrusted me with the task of finding a coffee machine.
I am the coffee maker in the house and the mornings are getting harder as I get older.
I have been researching this for probably a month while our old machine slowly cracks and dies and our pod supply dries up.
We drink ~3 cups a day each. Did the maths on 5 cups a day and we will save approximately $300 a year going from pods to beans, ROI = 2 years!
This machine can do beans or pre-ground, it does 2 cups at once, you just push a button.
It has been $750-799 for a while now.
This just popped up this morning and I pulled the trigger!

    Good machine. I believe it won a Choice award last year. Sold ours recently after 18 months of use. So much better than a pod machine.

    • silverx on 23/11/2020 - 10:30

      Why did you sell yours?

      • mick01 on 23/11/2020 - 10:39

        I wanted to try a manual coffee machine.

        • silverx on 23/11/2020 - 10:41

          Ah okay. Is it better?

          • wilnor on 23/11/2020 - 10:54

            @silverx: depending on what manual machine you are looking at but generally they are better than fully automatic.

              @wilnor: Dang. I've pulled trigger on this. Ah well coming from creatista I guess I'm happy if it at least match it

        • kiitos on 23/11/2020 - 10:49

          What did you get?

            @kiitos: Rancilio Miss Silvia and a Rancilio Rocky grinder. Great coffee, but much more time and effort required, compared to the Delonghi.

    $599 from Myers on eBay right now.

    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/233401772357

    I'd prefer local stock over ordering from the UK.

    • bobzor on 23/11/2020 - 10:32

      I did the maths on this too!
      I'd prefer the extra $90 to buy 90 x 7-11 coffee's while I wait for my new machine to arrive!

      • gadget on 23/11/2020 - 11:00
        +2

        More to the point. Is $90 worth it for 2 - 3 years or more warranty (under ACL).

        • ccrap on 23/11/2020 - 11:06

          Well use 5%off ebay gift cards, and then the question is just over $45. Arguably you could use 3-4% off gift cards for Amazon too, but even after discounts the gap would be less than $90. Great find OP

      You can also get it direct from delonghi here: https://www.delonghi.com/en-au/products/coffee/coffee-makers…

      Sign up to their newsletter (when prompted by the website) and you'll get a code for 10% off, taking it to $539.09 delivered. Seems like a good option if you want an AU plug and Consumer Guarantee coverage under the ACL.

      • bobzor on 23/11/2020 - 15:04

        They are out of stock for this machine on the website

          took more than an hour to get the 10% discount code.. by then its gone :(

  • robotdad on 23/11/2020 - 10:39

    Can confirm it's a solid and reliable machine. Ive had one for 2+years.
    Easy to clean, but also seems to put up with a very extended period between cleans.
    It can use ground or beans.
    For better flavour, use beans.

  • khepri on 23/11/2020 - 10:44

    Awesome machine, so much easier than cleaning after a manual and the flavour is just as good in my opinion.

  • crackman on 23/11/2020 - 10:44

    I have this machine (in silver). Love it! My only gripe is that it asks me to empty the grounds container too frequently (there is barely any in the container anyway), but I suppose that's good habit anyway.

    • sween64 on 23/11/2020 - 13:02

      Same here but the bottom pucks are often mouldy. I wonder if there’s also rule in the machine to empty them on a maximum time interval.

  • mitch01 on 23/11/2020 - 11:26

    I love mine but the milk frother is really only designed for badly prepared cappuccino milk. I leave the metal attachment off it and I am able to steam nice flat white milk but every few coffees the plastic part pops off into the jug as it's obviously not designed to be used that way. Otherwise it's top notch and great value!

    • 01001111 01000010 on 27/11/2020 - 17:06

      Yes great machine and I’ve used manual ones for years but won’t go back now (at least for home). I did the same with the wand but got sick of the black part popping off. Went back to the silver attachment and after a lot of trial and error can make really silky milk. You do need decent milk and beans.

      • mitch01 on 01/12/2020 - 07:10

        Thanks for the tip!

  • badonde on 23/11/2020 - 12:00

    Very solid machine and great price.

  • [Deactivated] on 23/11/2020 - 12:28

    Is this the best automatic machine for the price range?

    I'm thinking of using up all my pods, then selling my free pod machine that I received and buying something like this and which I can use beans.

    • sween64 on 23/11/2020 - 13:03

      Sell the machine with the pods.

  • nebsta on 23/11/2020 - 12:42

    Assume this comes with a British plug. Does anyone know if the power cord is replaceable?

    • sween64 on 23/11/2020 - 13:03

      Usually they are just a three pronged “kettle” cord. So easily replaceable.

  • debo on 23/11/2020 - 12:44

    Thankyou OP for giving up on pods. I appreciate people enjoy the convenience of pods, but as an eco-minded person I am bothered by the waste of energy through manufacturing/distribution and the trash when they are thrown out. I know there may be some new recyclable initiatives recently with pods, but a LOT must be thrown out. Also all the organic matter of the used beans are not going back to the 'earth' properly. At least with your new machine, you can throw the grounds out to compost/gardens.

    • Jonzay on 23/11/2020 - 13:02
      +3

      There are some good ones. I've been using 100% reusable stainless steel pods compatible with the Aldi pod machine. I grind the beans, fill the pods, use them then scoop out the used grounds and store them to give to friends for their gardens. Nothing goes to waste.

      • BartholemewH on 23/11/2020 - 18:38

        Sounds quicker/easier to use a machine with a group handle tbh.

  • littlegreenman on 23/11/2020 - 12:57

    Had this machine for over four years. No complaints, unlike @mitch01 ours froths the milk well.

    • mitch01 on 23/11/2020 - 20:49

      Mine produces a lot of froth with big bubbles no matter how I hold it with the metal part attached. Without I can get velvety smooth flatty milk (disclosure: I have worked as a barista). What's your experience with the metal attached? Tons of foam or not?

  • sween64 on 23/11/2020 - 13:04

    I’ve got the ECAM 23.460 which is similar but has an automatic milk dispenser. It’s a great machine!

  • ChickenTalon on 23/11/2020 - 13:07

    I got mine as a factory second from Delonghi here: https://www.delonghi.com/en-au/factory-seconds/seconds-shop/… $529 delivered. And the Mrs would only accept a machine in silver, which is a bit more expensive.

    None avail at the moment, but they pop up every now and then.

    Love the machine, took a while to get the bean/dose/grind setting correct and the instructions are a little bit lacking, but now it's running really well. Produces a great espresso.

    • skinny on 23/11/2020 - 13:26

      But you can get a brand new one for $539 (see above)

  • s3n on 23/11/2020 - 13:11

    If you're getting older probably better to have an automated milk frother especially if you're spending $500

    The factory seconds post above this is a good way to get a cheaper one

    I got a similar one to this (no auto milk) but for $280 or so last time there was a sale

  • skinny on 23/11/2020 - 13:23

    I have had this machine for 6 years now.. lately, the water does not flow via the coffee powder, but via the side straight back to collection at the bottom. Tried to get a quote and they quoted $250 + parts.. I think it may be wise to go for a new one. For people who are thinking of overseas model, warranty is important as it is not cheap if you need to have it repaired (I also had it repaired once under warranty)

    • polarq on 23/11/2020 - 13:49

      would delonghi not support warranty in au as this is from UK?

      • skinny on 23/11/2020 - 21:00

        I am not sure.. According to Amazon website it does say local warranty may not apply.

  • Harby7 on 23/11/2020 - 15:16

    Recently got the Delonghi Eletta for around $850 on amazon prime day… should i return it for this deal? I do like the added milk container with the Eletta however for the ease of use when lattes, caps etc

  • paperkut on 23/11/2020 - 15:26
    +1

    Bought this machine for $559 in March 2020 and would highly recommend it. Milk frother is not the greatest tbh but it's so much more convenient than a manual machine and flavour I'd say is pretty equal.

  • fastnet on 23/11/2020 - 15:32

    In June 2018 Amazon had a deal on the the De’Longhi Magnifica for $247. I'm just waiting for something like that to pop back up!

    • bobzor on 24/11/2020 - 16:18

      That's the old machine, they were probably clearing stock.

  • DingoBlue on 23/11/2020 - 15:38

    All please note this is an espresso machine not an automatic cappuccino machine, it only has manual milk.

    "Automatic" and "fully automatic" seem to be rubbery terms these days.

    • Naigrabzo on 23/11/2020 - 16:30

      This has automatic grinding, tamping and brewing; but not automatic milk frothing.

      Auto milk frothers are not that great though are they? [ Looks at my BES920 and Breville smart grind ]

  • jaren11 on 23/11/2020 - 22:14

    Will I still get warranty buying from Amazon UK?
    And will the power plug be the UK type?

    • Jumpup on 28/11/2020 - 01:17

      It’s $580 at EBay for eBay plus members.
      I rather play it safe and canceled my amazon order and got the local one because you never know what will happen with warranty.

  • CI on 25/11/2020 - 00:21

    Does anyone know how I can find the same posting routing through amazon.com.uk - because amazon au doesn't ship to UAE, and amazon uk does, but the price is coming up as $680 AUD (when I google the same model on amazon uk)
