Currently "Not in stock" with Amazon, but I have ordered things from them before and got them. The price isn't low enough to be an error, so I would expect orders to be honoured.
Great little (well, big actually) machine. I have a 4200, but the basic models are all the same internally and just differ in their appearance.

I got one when it was cheap at Argos late last year.
Can't recommend it. I found it to be very hit and miss to get a decent cup of coffee. But the main problem is the infuser was filthy after just one cup, meaning whenever I turned the machine on the water coming through was dirty and brown! The manual says to clean this at least once a month..!
I managed to return it and was glad to be rid of it.

Great coffee machine.
It was heavily discounted on Amazon at Xmas (£170.99 on 28th December) and I bought one. Really pleased with it. This was a prime members only price £170.99 in December 2016
£199 is still a good price.

Been waiting for a decent B2C that won't break the bank. Went the Tesco route as I can just pick it up Wednesday without worrying about cancelled oreders. Thanks OP!

Very tempting but I'm waiting for Delonghi Autentica ETAM29.510.B to come on sale. Alot neater in size.

That's the machine I use. Its great, looks quite decent (still rather large) and produces a great coffee.

Got a similar machine. Had it serviced by Delonghi recently on an offer. Came back with a coffee count of 6k coffees in 3 years.
These machines make a super espresso, the basis of pretty much most coffee related drinks. As the previous comment, use some decent beans.
I'd get another machine in a heart beat.

had this for about 2 years now and is used daily and never given me any problems. Great cuppa... just choose a decent coffee bean to go in it. Don't buy a decent machine and use cheap beans :-)

I believe your 4200 has a dual boiler which should be useful when going between steam and coffee making. But I have the 2800 and lack of dual boiler hasn’t been a problem.

Can I ask how you find the steam wand? With the cheaper espresso machines I've used in the past, I've struggled to get the consistency of milk for a decent latte. Thinking of investing in a bean to cup machine but would like the benefit of being able to actually make lattes instead of cappuccinos! :grin:

Overall I’m happy with it. This machine is the first time I’ve used a steam wand and it took me quite a while to get used to the process of steaming milk. I’m now getting the consistency for latte right most of the time. I do find I sometimes accidentally make a cappuccino but I put this is down to user error (adding too much air)! The machine comes with an attachment for the steam wand which helps with adding the air but I don’t bother using this. I recommend getting a thermometer and stainless steel jug with a narrow spout.

It is noted as out of stock, but Amazon have a good record of honouring those orders.
Made a bit pointless by the Tesco offer above that appears to be in-stock, though.
