​welcome to the whole point of the EU

It is EUR 259,00 now.

Did everyone's machines arrive on time? Finally bit the bullet on Thursday and said it's arriving coming Monday. But it's still at the preparing for dispatch stage! Will it arrive in time as it's a gift...

​ You're right, I'm getting my machines confused. The lattissima was my Nesspresso machine, my bean to cup is the magnifica s...doh!

Expired already it seems. The amazon cost is €289 now, so £214 at the current exchange rate.

I find living in the EU works as well.

I bought the delonghi lattissima+ bean to cup from John Lewis in January this year. I previously had a nesspresso machine that I used to think was good until I got the new machine. Set up to my taste, and makes excellent coffee time after time. Just make sure you get decent beans - put rubbish in, get rubbish out...

hot hot hot want one but the wife won't let me

Delivery for me was quick and there was no additional fees/taxes added. The machine comes with a 2 year Krups guarantee which can be evoked by contacting Krupps directly within the UK. I bought an adapter for this as taking the plug off might invalidate the warranty. Also, buy an EU to UK adapter, a shaving adapter doesn't have enough ampage.

Fantastic machine!

I ordered it the last time it was on Amazon.de and it was easy. Makes great coffee, the steam wand isn't as bad as people make out either. Never going back to instant.

Can this also produce hot chocolate?

​Stamp duty? Is this a house?!

Doesn't that void the warranty?

great machine. would definitely recommend it.

can I just straight swap the plug over to a 3 pin or will I need an adapter?

The pound to euro exchange rate fluctuates & it takes a while for market competition to cause prices to adjust.

If the pound fell by 20%, prices of every single imported product would not immediately increase by 20%, but there would be a gradual adjustment.

There may be something in it, I bought a Krups machine few years ago, after some time quality of coffee has degraded, strange smell, and the brew was weak even with strength set to max. Tried different cleaning routines, machine was in service, no help, now it's stack in shed and it was £400.

If anyone's near the East Midlands outlet place at Derby, theres a shop there that sells Krups coffee machines. I got my 850b for £200 cheaper than they were on Amazon. Worth looking there.

Surely the point of the EU should be that it costs the same no matter what country with obvious adjustments for shipping.
Buying it from the same company thousands of miles away and shipped internationally at a cheaper price just shows how farcical the whole system is. Or alternatively that they just like to rip us off in the UK.

No need, it's in the EU - no extra taxes.
I recently bought this Melitta E 957-101 for 291 euros (more now) I think it was £6 delivery and was here in less than a week. Fantastic machine, froths the milk as well ( you just put the tube in a cup of milk - automatic).
I would look carefully at all reviews of the one in the op (I considered it) but a good few people on others sites/videos said it was less than reliable and after a while was nowhere near as good months down the line.

Very tempted to order this but do they normally charge any taxes?

no

Nice deal but i'd be cautious of something like this going faulty and requiring replacement.
Any ideas what the policy is for Amazon.de returns and shipping back to Germany?

There's a point to the EU ? :confused:

Is the warranty still valid? Am I right in assuming no you'd have to send it back to Germany if it went wrong?

im tempted after a decent coffee machine..

now 289 euros
