      Good Guys at Loganholme Hyperdome are selling the EM6910 expresso machine for $540 and are throwing in the EM0480 for free.

  • antman on 22/12/2011 - 09:55

    This is a very good deal. The 450 is the same as the 480 apart from having a plastic body. So you still get a good quality burr unit and strong motor.

  • 51kabunka on 22/12/2011 - 09:59

    Great entry level grinder….just note that the grinding becomes inconsistent as the hopper gets low on beans, so try to keep a few in there, rather than let it get too low ;)

  • hes21 on 22/12/2011 - 10:05

    I'm 2 years grinding beans for over 4 coffees a day (using the 480 which is the same apart form ascetics).
    Great for domestic machines. I've now got a commercial so I grind on the finest setting which works well, but I can't choose a finer grind when I want.
    Great grinder. Replaceable burrs if you ever get to that point.

      If you call up sunbeam support line and explain, they will send you out a paper thin washer that after installed (just fits under the bottom bur) will give you a much finer grind.

  • yanman on 22/12/2011 - 10:23

    Fantastic deal. This has been one of CHOICE's recommendations for a while.

    Great grinder. always use setting 14 on my EM0480 and it produces a great coffee out of my machine

  • smudbud on 22/12/2011 - 10:50

    Anyone know how this compares to a Breville baroma coffee grinder (BCG450)? I've found the breville to have rather course grinds and hoping the sunbeam would be finer

    • nubzy on 22/12/2011 - 10:52

      there are 25 settings on the Sunbeam. If you go down to 1 it is VERY fine like sand.

      If you are using it on an espresso machine then the manual reccomends a setting of 12-16, I have found 14 to be perfect.

    • robotdad on 22/12/2011 - 10:52

      Some of the Breville grinders can be modded to remove the last stop, which then results in a very fine range of grinds.

      • slow on 22/12/2011 - 20:09

        The BCG450 can be easily modded (google it) as mentioned. Having said that mine seems to grind really fine for espresso unmodded so they don't all seem to be equal…

    Administration Service Fee (1.5%) $1.12

    wtf?

  • mshanann on 22/12/2011 - 11:36

    That in combination with :

    Saeco Aroma
    www.amazon.it/dp/B000EE22VM

    would be a good cheap little setup …

    the Aroma is 138 euro delivered to Australia (aka $178 AUD)

    Articoli: EUR 118,01
    Costi di spedizione: EUR 20,00
    Totale IVA esclusa: EUR 138,01
    IVA: EUR 0,00
    Totale ordine: EUR 138,01

    btw.. here is the exact same coffee machine on amazon.com (not amazon.it)…
    www.amazon.com/dp/B001418XCQ

    Cost of entry level coffee machine and grinder then would be
    $178 + $76 = $254

    • quickling on 22/12/2011 - 11:51

      you gotta be careful buying electronics from amazon us anyway…

    Great deal. I've already got the Sunbeam EM0450 (or 480 I forget) and have been very happy with it. Buying this as a possible gift for parents or GF. Keep in mind that even if people don't drink espresso a good grinder and fresh beans will make all coffee better.

  • lostincanberra on 22/12/2011 - 13:15

    I use a Rancilio 'Rocky' doserless - and it produces nicely ground coffee with good results through a 'Gee' machine at home. It cost $400+ though. At the price quoted, the EM0450 is really good value for a proper grinder!

    • lostincanberra on 22/12/2011 - 13:57

      …and so I've bought one too. For the office. Shame that the coffee machine that I'll be grinding for is so ordinary - but as ndenham (hereabove) points out, fresh beans and a decent grinder should make an appreciable difference.

      • nubzy on 22/12/2011 - 14:16

        My Sunbeam machine only cost $200 (and just saw it on clearance last week for $100!) but paired with this grinder it produces a far better result than many of the local cafes.

        • mooboy on 22/12/2011 - 15:25

          Hey nubzy, which Sunbeam you got and do you know if still on clearance sale and where? I had a friend ask about a coffee machine combo for $200(ish) and I told her she was dreaming…

        • Geewhizz on 22/12/2011 - 15:33

          Hey nubzy, which Sunbeam you got and do you know if still on clearance sale and where?

          Ditto.

          Hey mooboy,

          It is the Sunbeam Cafe Crema

          I saw it for $100 in Target Macquarie centre, could only see one box though.

        • mooboy on 23/12/2011 - 09:39

          Thanks heaps, will pass the info on :)

      • mooboy on 22/12/2011 - 15:20

        How do you find the GEE machine? At this price, I'm kind of tempted to get one for office too, then just combine it with a plunger…

        Then again, my desk is messy enough without grinds everywhere…

  • MrMaxwell on 22/12/2011 - 13:21

    This item is not in stock and looks like it will be delivered early next month (no solid ETA) as I just called.

    FYI.

  • noise36 on 22/12/2011 - 13:40

    Amazing price for a great grinder!!!

      I wouldn't call it a great grinder. But, as lostincanberra says, it's a proper grinder. But yeah, still an amazing price.

  • baybeans on 22/12/2011 - 15:24

    Nice find. An excellent choice for anyone looking to spend <$80 on a grinder. This is a conical burr grinder vs a flat burr, which gives you a more precise grind and even grind, especially useful for use with domestic espresso machines.

    • robotdad on 23/12/2011 - 07:48

      Yes yes yes…Coffee adventure indeed…..Time for everyone to get second cracking!*

      *6-8 minutes in, 1st crack (sounds like popcorn)…not roasted enough……8-12 minutes start of second crack (cellophane crackling noise)..STOP! Its just right…hellow 120g of roast coffee!

      the smell that fills your whole house after embarking on this adventure is worth it :) especially come xmas with visitors, beats fruity candles and incense hands down…

      • Geewhizz on 23/12/2011 - 20:05

        but then a rotten egg would beat fruity candles too. It really is hard to beat the smell of fresh coffee though.

      • robotdad on 23/12/2011 - 22:11

        I don't. The chaff that fills the house gets everywhere…roasting is best done outside…..Also the coffee roast stink lasts about three days…..Strangely, I always feel a bit wired after an evening roast.

    • antman on 24/12/2011 - 09:59

      is that the normal price, and does it work ok for roasting?
