It’s $10 more than it was last year, but it’s still a pretty reasonable price overall.
Looks like there are no Aussie stores to price match with if you’re boycotting US companies.
CamelCamelCamel.
2-3x more expensive that supermarket pods, but the problem is being stuck in the Lavazza pod ecosystem that has significantly less third party products than Nespresso.
$0.53 per pod when bought via Amazon S&S, and even less if paying with gift cards etc.
@puffinfresh: Good price if/when you find the variety that you really enjoy. 96 pods is an investment.
I agree with your point about the ecosystem constraint. I take this machine with me when I am travelling - it's small and light and goes into my carry-on luggage.
Every capsule coffee Ive ever tried tastes like its made from 20% floor sweepings.
Why did you taste floor sweepings in the first place
To compare, obviously?
It sounds like you spilt coffee on your floor.
Gee, I wish my floor sweepings tasted like your floor sweepings.
That's like a dollar per cup of coffee and the machine is yours. Why not! Bought one. Thanks
I bought this machine at TGG (Price Check) last year for a price in the $40s. It is pretty good, and the pods are routinely on sale at Coles/WW for $9.45 (16 pack). Amazon usually price-match and you can therefore get them for about $8.50 S&S.
From what I've read (and taste), there's more coffee in the Modo Mio pods compared with your standard nespresso-machine pods. Have worked my way through a few varieties of the Modo Mio pods - this is my favourite https://www.amazon.com.au/Lavazza-Espresso-Machines-Barrel-A… (but seems to less commonly on sale) and this one is also decent https://www.amazon.com.au/Lavazza-Modo-Passionale-Coffee-Cap….
Might make myself a cup now. It won't win any coffee awards (and I was a sceptic about pods) but I pefer this "instant coffee" than the nespresso-pod coffees I get served at friends' homes.
Can you use any other brand pods in this machine?
Nope, these modo mio are like Caffitaly ones but half as tall.
I’m still using mine on a daily basis three years later. The capsules were $9.50 for 16 for many months until it reverted back to $13.50. Before the long term drop of $9.50 I regularly got it at ‘half price’ for around $6.75 per box.
I’m now just hoping the old 50% deals will be back again.
and also any recommendations for the milk frother
This has been as low as $20 late 23.
Been using different Lavazza models for 10 years
Bought a $349 Lavazza Voicy (built in Alexa) in 23 for $59 during Prime Day
All machines are still working.
Pods bought on sale.
Used to get the machine free or profit with Lavazza redemption. Plus 32 free pods. Lavazza stuffed up - sending me 480 free pods.
$1.08 per capsule isn't much more than Nespresso pods - and they don't even come with the pod machine!
