If your asking that question this deal isn't for you. You just stick to drinking that instant muck. This is an amazing price.

Most folks use cups with it. If you use a jar I'd imagine it'd hold about 4 cups worth of coffee.

Hope this helps :wink:

​I fail to see the relevance???

I wouldnt buy from currys again, i went to them when my coffee machine stopped working and they just left it sat there for a week and told me to contact the manufacturer

How many jars of coffee does this work out as?

Great price for an excellent product. Bought mine just over 2 years ago after lots of research and paid £399 from John Lewis when they reduced from £600. I also got the £120 freebies which comprised of a coffee bean subscription and in my case de-scalers and an electronic vacuum coffee bean storage jar. However, the milk jug wasn't included at the time which makes this an even better deal.

I think with the coffee club deal we got hand blown Cappuccino glasses, free coffee beans, 6 months supply of de-scaler and an extra 12 month warranty after our initial warranty expires. It is a brilliant machine.

I think in the long run these work out cheaper then the various pod machines and make a far better coffee. What are tassimo pods £5 for eight coffees? Soon mounts up.

I have a ecam 23.450.s that is a couple of years old (but works fine)

is this one a upgrade to mine do you know please?

Anyone know how hot the milk gets, I had one machine where it has a tube and sucks the milk out of a container and that was lukewarm, like 40c, yuk. Don't have a microwave so had to send it back.

This seems like an excellent deal. I have the ESAM5600 and it's fantastic. Produces hot coffees but not as hot as an instant coffee. I sometimes warm the mug first but not always. I have a Melitta at work that feeds milk via a tube and that's not quite as hot as the delonghi but always found it hot enough.

If I was in the market for one, I'd definitely buy this. In fact if I was richer, I'd buy it as a xmas present for my Dad!!

I bet it tastes so much better out of hand blown coffee glasses :wink:

If you get beans from somewhere like Rave where they're freshly roasted, you'll see an improvement again.

Brilliant deal

is anyone know what is free gift?

Get yourself onto Segafredo if you haven't tried it already. Brilliant coffee. B&M occasionally stock a small one

Absolutly! Freshly roasted coffee beans are a must for these machines. The difference is huge and you'll never be able to go back to lavazza.

£349 is a good price for a Magnifica 360S, though the RRP is hideously overinflated.
I think at best you could argue a £100 saving.

Bought this and returned it for the model with the milk wand. Reason was that the milk from the froth container want hot enough. Reviews on Amazon confirm this....

Make sure you get the know how cover about £2 a month, mine has broken twice now. The second one was after a few weeks use.

​Absolutely. We got one of the Sage machines from John Lewis which came with a free trial from PACT. Got us hooked so I guess it worked

Better still, save yourself the hassle and buy from a reputable company. :smiley:
I've had a bean to cup for 5ish years, last calculations showed the cup cost to be equivalent to instant coffee though taste is in a different league.

do these make tastier coffee than nespresso capsules or is the tastes/quality relatively the same ?
much appreciate anyone's feedback on this.

Repost from 3 weeks ago. This site is really weird sometimes. The previous post only got +15 and this time around it is currently +304.

Previous post

I have 2 of these (one at work, one at home). Great machines. Good value. Though I think the Costco deal is better (£400 for a better model). Coffee is fantastic and much better than capsules.

I had had over one year when the first machine broke so pleased I had the cover or wouldn't have got a replacement! The second one was the replacement and I did look after it. I switched the machine off and it made a loud noise and some of the plastic parts inside had broken!

Thanks, looks like I will have to go with the steam wand one.

Nespesso is what I have at the moment, but if you only use 4 a day that"s about £450 a year, beans would probably be less than half that.

Yeh there's definitely money to be saved, I was merely pointing out that these bean to cup machines are less convenient than they might seem due to the extra maintenance/cleaning they require.

If I could have found a self loading type one with an automatic milk frother I think I would have gone for that.

Others that actually own a bean to cup machine might have a better idea on whats involved in looking after them but from what I've read you need to keep on top of cleaning all the chutes that the fresh ground coffee and waste grinds pass through in order to prevent them clogging up and growing mould.

Sure I read something about having to lubricate parts of the mechanism as well, I struggle to find the time to work on my car and that's something I enjoy let alone a coffee machine for the wife....

Totally agree with that, I've had my Nespresso machine for about 3 years and apart from de-scaling every 3 months or so and putting a few bits in the dishwasher, there is no other maintenance to do.

But I am still gonna give this heat as it's a good price. :laughing:

What have you got? Mine is bosch and I have had it just over two years with no problem. I did send it back once due to user error and the guy collecting said he gets lots of Delongis back with failed heating elements.

Heat for the price. But surely only for those with a heavy duty personal habit, or an office, to satisfy.

Is this worth the £50 extra over this model: http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/household-appliances/small-kitchen-appliances/coffee-machines-and-accessories/coffee-machines/delonghi-magnifica-s-ecam-22-320-sb-bean-to-cup-coffee-machine-silver-21485747-pdt.html

I bought mine yesterday after putting off getting one for years because I thought they looked to complicated . First thing in the morning I want my coffee and it want it NOW . this machine can do that

Anyone used the fixed price service/refurb option to keep their machine going?

4 year old Gaggia Brera which I recently replaced the pump and steam selector (total cost around £55-DIY fit). Brera was £270 from Amazon Warehouse, it's made around 15000 shots and looks destined to make another 15000 though I picked up a Philips/Saeco HD8761 (Amazon warehouse - £122!) in May as a backup which lives at my wifes office.

we have a similar machine and i'd never go back to using ground coffee again!

​....legend!
:wink:

Currys changed the price overnight and the current deal is £399 - was £349 - :-(

Has anyone received their "free £120 worth of gifts" yet? I registered mine on 25th November and haven't received anything yet :disappointed:

The coffee came about a week after registering but still waiting for the glasses and descaler. I'm pretty sure they said up to 28 days and it's been longer than that
