This popular machine is going for $599 (down from $749) at the good guys. Buy it via their eBay store to save an extra $60 with Code HOMEFY (can't see when this code expires unfortunately) = $539. Free click and collect for everyone, or free shipping for eBay plus.

If you're really keen, you can get eight $50 'TCN Gift' gift cards with this deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/703187 (which is effectively 10% back), saving another $40. New total = $499. I say eight because you can't use more than eight gift cards on eBay. Can confirm I have done this successfully and picked up the machine at TGG an hour later.

Could even try with Shopback and get an extra 3% for new customers or 1% back for existing customers - not 100% sure it will work with gift cards though.

Terms:

Items listed on eBay.com.au where a link to these terms and conditions and the coupon redemption code HOMEFY is found in the item listing, or the item appears in the following URL: HOMEFY.

      Wait for a deal on the Bambino / Bambino Plus! You'll still need to buy a grinder to get the most out of it, but gives you more flexibility to manage your space.

      The Bambino Plus used to go on sale for as low as $360, but it has been a while since its dropped that low.

      • spendybeans on 02/06/2022 - 08:42

        My Bambino doesn't let me do timed manual infusion despite what the manual says. I have both and (not the plus) be and this is superior. I'm still getting rid of it though as feel I've already outgrown it with the built in grinder inconsistency

    I am waiting for Breville the Barista Pro.

  • [Deactivated] on 01/06/2022 - 13:59

    Not sure if it's just bad luck or the build quality of these machines have changed since they've generally had decent reviews for previous versions. First machine I got 2 months ago lost pressure after 2 weeks and was replaced with a new one. 2 months later and I'm currently going through the warranty repair process and for the second one because the steam wand and portafilter stopped working. Would have spent the money on something more durable if I could go back.
    Either way good price compared to usual deals and it does make great coffees once you get the settings and technique right.

  • poppingtags on 01/06/2022 - 14:11
    +18

    I've been using this machine for about a year and half now, if you have the space - I think it's one of the best ways to get into making coffee at home! It'll take you sometime to learn the ins and outs (recommend James Hoffman's and Lance Hedrick's videos), but in about a month of making a coffee per day, I was able to make a latte better than most cafes, at a fraction of the price.

    As a daily coffee drinker, the machine paid for itself very quickly with the savings I made from making coffee at home instead of buying out - will be even quicker for you, given coffee prices are expected to rise sharply.

    After a year and half of practice, only the very best cafes could out do me. I actually prefer drinking my coffee at home. Will consider upgrading to the Dual Boiler if/when this dies, but going strong for now!

    • TEER3X on 01/06/2022 - 14:19

      Plenty of good deals on marketplace for precisely those reasons, people just don't put in enough effort to learn how to use the machine.

    Breville dual boiler is where it's at.

    • TEER3X on 01/06/2022 - 15:29
      +2

      Agree but more than double the price when you factor in a grinder, likely triple the price.

      • timmof on 01/06/2022 - 18:11

        …and the dual boiler is large. I purchased it from a previous ozb deal and ended up returning. Now have the bambino + a smart grinder and its a lot smaller footprint, & being split allows a bit more flexibility in our small kitchen, but is a bit messier this Barista Express is basically those two items combined.

    • Jengel on 02/06/2022 - 10:16

      I upgraded from an extremely old Breville Barista Express that had chugged along for 3 years (and that was after I picked it up second hand from a friend who had run it for 5+ years), to a Dual Boiler + Smart Grinder.
      Daily use of the machine is easy and very consistent, and over the last few weeks as it gets colder I've been making more frothed milk drinks - the ability to extract a shot and froth milk at the same time is fantastic!

  • syswong on 01/06/2022 - 16:08

    While it has a tempting price this is effectively the Bambino plus and Dose control grinder combine. The only advantage I see is the pressure gauge but don't think this machine has PID control so feel half bake. It does not have ThermalJet (3 sec start up) nor the Milk temp sensor on the Bambino Plus.

    I am using the Bambino Plus and Smart Grander Pro at the moment and that seem to be a better solution if you can get hold of both at a good price. Since Breville put the RRP up, $400 for the BB+ and around $270 for SGP is consider a good deal.

    The next one up that won't break your bank is Breville the Barista Pro going for $789.00 at EBay. This one has PID control if you are into it and it also has a better portafilter compare to BB+. If I was to choose again knowing what I know now, I am very likely to get Barista Pro instead of BB+.

    • fattymattyd on 01/06/2022 - 16:12

      Where is the barista pro for $789? I'd be tempted at that price.

    • onlinepred on 01/06/2022 - 17:27

      The advantage is that it’s all in one machine with one power cord. I was looking at getting the bambino abs smart grinder but at the time was more expensive and took two power points and more space in the bench.

    • grackfight420 on 01/06/2022 - 17:42
      +1

      Where do you see $400 for the bambino plus? AFAIK TGG commercial is normally cheapest, but they've put up their prices considerably

      • poppingtags on 01/06/2022 - 18:03
        +1

        $500 on TGGC currently which I think is the lowest price going. Would also be interested to know where the Bambino can be picked up for $400.

      • syswong on 01/06/2022 - 20:58

        Appliance Online EBay $479 after code, if you have gift card that that get you pretty close to $400

        I got mine not long ago for under $400

        https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/687909

        Just my opinion, BB+ and SGP is good as a capsule replacement but I still think Barista Pro has all the necessary function for a better solution.

    • sixsense on 01/06/2022 - 21:11

      What beans would you prefer with BB+ and SGP.

      • syswong on 01/06/2022 - 21:31

        Campos is good but BB+ simply lacks the ability to get the best out of Campos beans. You need better control in pressure and temp to use Campos.

        I have not try Airjo but many OZBs seems to like it and the same goes to the Aldi ones.

        I had been using various Lavazza and results are acceptable. Barista in particular impress me for its price point. The ORO also ok.

        • sixsense on 01/06/2022 - 22:04

          Thanks for details, would you go for darker roast with 1:1.5 ratio or medium with 1:2 ratio.

          I tried airjo sumatra light roast and results were sour mostly as BB+ struggles with low temp of 160F. Tried Vittoria dark roast mountain blend and got just one shot right out of about 20. Will try something medium roast but fresher.

          • syswong on 02/06/2022 - 05:22

            @sixsense:

            Thanks for details, would you go for darker roast with 1:1.5 ratio or medium with 1:2 ratio.

            I am not measuring to precision but will get a scale soon….I miss my second hand Z7, don't have to think.

            Also I am not an espresso drinker so not that picky on the extraction, but….

            I would sure stay away from Vittoria.

            if you are into light to medium roast, try grind at 5 (may be even smaller if the flow is too fast) and brew with the single wall double basket. Also try to do a custom pre infusion.

            You may be get a bag of 500g Aldi medium roast and try. its only $8. 🤣🤣

    • spendybeans on 02/06/2022 - 08:45

      This does have PID control (it's a thermo-coupler). You can program the temperature +/- 2 deg C in 1 deg increments

    For those that are keen to buy the Dual Boiler, this might be the last chance in getting it with a standalone price. Having seen TGG, JB and Bing Lee stores sold out of stock.
    Seems Binglee ebay is the last place that has it for around $1000.

    Most places (TGG, Appliance online) are now selling the Dual Boiler Stainless steel with the smart grinder as a package for a discounted price of 1699, which is way over the 999 + 250 price. The Black sesame colour is available for the Dual Boiler but its over 1500.

    Hopefully anyone that want one can pick it up for sub $1000 price.
