Hi all
I'm on the hunt for one of these machines - does anyone have any tips or places to look? I've set up a price alert for AmazonAU on CamelCamelCamel and have subscribed to Home & Garden deals here on OzB
Cheers

If it's possible spending a bit more might be better. I had a barista express that I didn't use that often and it's started buzzing, that means the solenoid is on its way out. This is after 2 years of infrequent use with standard descaling and blackflushing.
This video might be helpful.

If possible try to score a deal on the Gaggia or Rancilio Silvia.
Setup price alerts on https://pricehipster.com/?q=breville%20barista%20pro
Subscribe to a search on Ozb - e.g."Breville Barista" in case anyone mentions it in a bigger grouping deal eg 20% off Bing Lee
Follow major retailer sales, like ebay, the Good Guys, Myer, David Jones that have blanket sales on categories or across the entire store
Try stack gift card discounts (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/discounted_egift_cards) with a decent priced deal at a major retailer.
Try private membership schemes like The Good Guys Commercial - sometimes they have competitive prices beyond standard sales.
