    Seems cheap. Any good?

    • kiriakoz on 18/06/2022 - 15:12
      +5

      Yes, it's good. If all you need is a simple automatic coffee maker, I recommend it. It'll make you an espresso, a cappuccino or a regular coffee. Some of the more expensive models have more options for customisation but if you're happy with those options, this is good. I think I paid closer to $600 a few months ago so price has gone down too.

    • mrgeckoz on 18/06/2022 - 16:58

      I have the 4300 with few more beverage options.
      I think this is great value. At this price point you could only buy an espresso machine without the milk system.
      The brew unit however seems to be a little bit shabby, compared to Delonghi which feels more solid and better built. But have been working well with over 100+ cups made so far.
      The design of the milk carafe is smart, easily cleaned rinsed and dishwasher safe. There are a couple of negative reviews due to leaking caused by cracks. Mine also has cracks but no leak so far.

      • kiriakoz on 18/06/2022 - 17:29

        Where are your cracks? Just curious for me to know where to look out for it.

        • mrgeckoz on 18/06/2022 - 18:31
          +1

          Mine is located at the circle on the transparent part of the carafe, where steam and milk mixes.

      • ATangk on 18/06/2022 - 17:56

        is the latte macchiato much different to a latte

        • mrgeckoz on 18/06/2022 - 18:32

          No not for me, YMMV.
          Cafe au lait is very different though.

  • TEER3X on 18/06/2022 - 15:05

      that seems wasteful

    looks small and ugly. Wouldn't you rather pay $100 more to get the Breville barista?

    • TEER3X on 18/06/2022 - 15:22
      +9

      This is a fully automatic, the barista express is a manual coffee machine. Not a valid comparison I'm afraid.

      • May4th on 18/06/2022 - 15:32

        if all you want is a stock standard no frills FW/cap and is time pressured during the week would the automatic give on par coffee to the barista express? have a BE and have no complaints but it's hard to find the time during the working week

        • ATangk on 18/06/2022 - 17:57

          What do you think of something like 7/11 coffee?

          • May4th on 18/06/2022 - 20:41

            @ATangk: i'd rather drink tea..not sure whether it's the beans that contributes to the bland taste? we have an automatic at work and it spits out passable cap/lattes but you can definitely taste the difference between that and barista express

        • TEER3X on 18/06/2022 - 18:10
          +1

          Barista express is better, you can get pretty decent coffees out of it, while the delonghi auto is good but has its limitations (pressurized basket, doesn't grind very fine, works best with medium Dark to dark beans, milk frother is underpowered, etc).

          That said, if I had the time and money, I'd get a dual boiler and a very good grinder. If I just had the money, maybe an oracle touch.

      No

      This is truely fully automatic. But yeah the Breville Barista may get you more precise coffee taste to your liking I believe.

  • sonome on 18/06/2022 - 15:46

    I'm so torn between this and the Delonghi Magnifica Evo (290.62.B) on sale at Costco for $800.

    Anyone have any experience with either? Is the Delonghi worth $250 more?

    • Drakesy on 18/06/2022 - 15:54
      +1

      Delonghis are good
      Can recommend

    • TEER3X on 18/06/2022 - 15:58

      Evo is apparently the same as the S, but with digital/fancier controls.

      I'd get the Philips since it has auto milk frothing

      • sonome on 18/06/2022 - 16:01
        +1

        The one at Costco also has the auto milk frothing. Apparently there are different versions of the Evo, which is extremely confusing!

        • TEER3X on 18/06/2022 - 18:11

          Magnifica S at Costco also on sale for $649, until July I think. Although it's actually cheaper on eBay.

          • Pythagoras on 18/06/2022 - 19:25

            @TEER3X: 599 at bing Lee and David jones for the magnifica S. Not sure whether to get the Phillips or delonghi

    Bought this for my parents so when I go there I don't need to drink shitty nespresso pods. They didn't want a manual machine. Hopefully it's ok.

      You’re not an ozbargainer, who buys a $530 coffee machine because he can’t tolerate a pod every once in a while

    • mrgeckoz on 18/06/2022 - 19:51

      Espresso shots that come out of this machine is beautiful (for me)

    • tunzafun001 on 18/06/2022 - 20:40
      +1

      Refill a couple of Nespresso pods with Freshground coffee before you go. Top with alfoil. Can actually make a decent cup with the right stuff inside. But they are like 6 grams…so take 2. Easy as.

  • pointnlarf on 18/06/2022 - 15:54

    If no specific need for auto milk frothing… This or magnifica s?

    • jnbluv2h on 18/06/2022 - 16:30

      I can't compare, but I own a Magnifica S and I've got no complaints so far at all. I am tempted to buy this though, because of the auto milk frothing… Seems to be a function to make my morning easier 😂

      • pointnlarf on 18/06/2022 - 16:38

        We use the magnifica at work and they are pretty bulletproof… Wondering about reliability of this one…

          The Magnifica S at my work has been pumping 20 coffees a day for 6 years and it's still going. Wild thing.

      • TEER3X on 18/06/2022 - 19:21

        Which beans and what settings are you using?

        I've found mine pretty picky when it comes to settings (with the beans I have), and any deviation, coffee comes out less than ideal

        • mrgeckoz on 18/06/2022 - 19:52

          I’m currently on grind level 2-3, tried level 1 and pump is struggling to push the water out, drips very slow, so I turned it back to 2-3 and works perfect.
          Many baristas also suggest to use fine grinds for automatics to extract the most out of the beans.

          Did you buy from the shop called Bufan Shop or Amazon AU?

          • handles1 on 15/07/2022 - 14:09

            @Saladman: I bought one from Amazon, then a couple of nights ago on last day of Prime Day, I bought a mate one from Bufan Shop because the price is similar. As it happens they sent me a DHL tracking number for a delivery in Vic today (I’m in Tas) so I asked what was going on, and they got in touch to tell me it was their mixup of course, and would issue a new shipment and tracking number.. they have no feedback/sales, so not sure whether it will show up. To be fair, delivery from these guys did say a month.

            • Saladman on 15/07/2022 - 20:09

              @handles1: Did you get the same message this is what he messaged me:

              “ Dear customer, we take your question very seriously. I just consulted the warehouse and the warehouse replied with the wrong tracking number.
              I will arrange for a reshipment and provide a new tracking number. I will notify you when the goods are shipped.

              If you don't receive it within 15 days, don't worry, I'll give you a full refund.
              please wait patiently
              thank you very much ”

              • handles1 on 15/07/2022 - 21:25

                @Saladman: Exactly what I got. I said no, saw they had done it to other people, requested an immediate refund. I then chatted to Amazon Customer Service who requested the refund from the third party, who have processed the refund in full about half an hour ago. I’ve now REordered it for my mate directly from Amazon for the extra $90 or so, cos the machine is worth it 👍 Good luck!

                • Saladman on 15/07/2022 - 21:40

                  @handles1: Thanks I replied to the guy asking for a refund then told Amazon straight away hopefully he issues the refund asap

    • kiwizz on 18/06/2022 - 16:34

      I have the Bambino plus and was thinking the same. I'm gonna guess its a question simply of manual or automatic… and maybe bench space, although with the Bambino you still need a grinder.

      If you don't desperately want a fully automatic I'd really recommend the Bambino Plus. I bought one at the start of COVID and it has served me really well. Definitely beats the coffees I've had from similar fully automatic machines I've had.

      • AussieDaddy on 18/06/2022 - 18:43

        Cheers. Yeah, since I have a dedicated grinder I will wait for a deal on the Bambino Plus.

    • TEER3X on 18/06/2022 - 19:26

      Bambino plus if you have the time and patience for it. The auto milk frothing is very good and you can start that while you get your shot together. Only thing I hated was the lack of temperature control.

    Novice question, but do you have to flush the milk lines etc after each use? And, assuming so, is it a pain? I like the idea of fully auto except the cleaning part!

    • mrgeckoz on 18/06/2022 - 19:53

      I chose this over Delonghi was just because of the easy rinse and dishwasher safe milk carafe. No tubes or small parts at all!!!

        Apparently you choose the Cappuccino option and then just stop it before it does the coffee (milk goes first). That’s what one of the reviews said anyway.

        • jamba on 19/06/2022 - 05:37

          Or you can choose the ground coffee cappuccino option and just don't put any ground coffee. You get frothed milk.

    Tempting when RRP is $899. But the Aquafilters cost about $30 each, and according to the manual only do ~95 litres through them and it suggest to replace every 3 months. But you can just stop using and revert to descaler like a true ozbarginers. Also need to 'Consult the lubrication table and lubricate the brew group with the Philips grease' every 2 months, so there is a bit of overhead with this machine. Looks like you can't store the milk frother in the fridge either, manual suggests you need to clean it after every use which is a bit of a pain.

    Replacing the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)
    After 95 liters of water have flowed through the filter, the filter will cease to work. The AquaClean light turns orange and starts to flash to remind you to replace the filter. As long as it flashes, you can replace the filter without having to descale the machine first. If you do not replace the AquaClean water filter, the orange light will go out eventually. In that case you can still replace the filter but you first need to descale the machine. When the orange AquaClean light flashes:
    1 Take out the old AquaClean water filter.
    2 Install a new filter and activate it as described in chapter 'Activating the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)'.

    Replace the AquaClean water filter at least every 3 months, even if the machine does not yet indicate that replacement is required.

    Deactivating the AquaClean reminder
    If you do not want to use Philips AquaClean water filters anymore, you can always deactivate theAquaClean reminders (AquaClean light flashing orange):
    1 Press the on/off button to switch off the machine.
    2 When the machine is switched off, press and hold the AquaClean icon until the light in this icon goes on. The start light starts flashing.
    3 Tap the AquaClean icon again to deactivate the reminders. The light in the AquaClean icon goes off.
    4 Press the start/stop button to confirm your choice.
    5 Press the on/off button to switch on the machine again. The AquaClean reminders are now deactivated

    • cuteseal on 18/06/2022 - 18:55

    • Crimzic on 18/06/2022 - 19:10

      Looks like the filter is not needed. Water in Sydney is very soft anyway so descaling isn't needed often if you are in this city. My Delonghi requests that every ~300 cups of milk based coffee.
      Regarding the brew group lubrication, it is required for every coffee machine, even for those that don't state this in the user manual (e.g. Delonghi; I lubricate it once a year).

      • TEER3X on 18/06/2022 - 19:27
