£199.99

50°

FOUND BY: Macca19820 1 year, 2 weeks ago

Enter Discount code FR001 for an extra £10 off. Not sure if this still works though.

* Coffee tamper
* 4 x 250g illy classic ground espresso coffee
* 1 x 250g decaf ground espresso coffee
* Standard milk jug

Part of review:
This is arguably one of the most 'famous' espresso machines in the consumer world. It's been featured in countless movies, routinely on television shows like Will and Grace, and even Mikhail Baryshnikov played around with one extensively on Sex in the City while training that woman (I can't remember her name, nor do I want to - Sarah something) about the niceties of making espresso in the home.

Why's this being voted cold? A quick search on the web shows it's over £300 most place and even on the Espresso Crazy website a reconditioned one without the extras is £225.

Is there a better deal out there that someone wants to post?

People aren't supposed to vote cold without saying why, but they do all the time, especially when a deal is first posted. Indeed it happens so often I wish they'd ban any post asking 'why has this deal been voted cold?' as it seems to appear in every other listing.

I voted hot, btw, for the price. But I wouldn't buy one myself. Espresso machines take up a lot of room, they're a pain to clean, and making coffee is so much of a faff compared to a £15 stovetop Bialetti...

These look great - as an ornament, the coffee is not so good,got rid of mine after a few weeks and went for a Rancilio silvia a much better quality coffee machine all round - if a little utilitarian looking. I went originally for looks and it cost me!!

Just my 2p's worth.
