Some lucky punter can pick up in Dundalk or Limerick (Crescent). Have not found availability elsewhere.

Same, Argos usually do this when they are trying to get rid of the last few items in stock. Disappointing

kam3qnwvebf4jh · 24-05-2017 09:40AM

Thanks OP. My wife just picked it up in Carlow. Fantastic price.

neacy69 · 24-05-2017 09:45AM

no stock anywhere...

Great price, it's £169 on the UK Argos website.

For stock also check ebay store, I got 1 there for €71 including shipping.

Hi there

I bought an older version of this machine about 5 years ago when it was on sale. Its still going strong and I use it a few times a day.

I reserved the one in the Dundalk store. thanks for the heads up, been following this thread hoping one or two might appear again.

Anyone has it reserved and not going to collect? I'd be happy to take it

The lips · 26-05-2017 12:20PM

Slim chance I'd say. I've been refreshing the stock checker constantly!

I reckon staff put them aside and we are only getting the rejects if they change their mind.

sikes · 26-05-2017 03:52PM

I have one in Cork Mahon that I am unable to collect.

It expires at 9 tonight I think.

If there's any chance you don't use it would you pass it on to me please?
Or a code for any Cork shop.

Always the Cork people that grab the bargains:)

We didn't get any heatwave though. Cloudy here the last few days.

ED E · 26-05-2017 07:44PM

Any chance they're not end of line and will come back in? This could be BA of the year.

BA of the year? Some serious competition there with the Dewalt impact wrench and Halfords 3/4" socket set.

Collected mine from Dundrum today, and also got 5 euro voucher, Happy days, Thanks, OP.:D

Really not trying to be a party pooper here but two things are important here. 1. This machine will not be capable of making a decent espresso. No solenoid valve being the main problem for consistency of flow. And 2. The grind, unless you're getting a shop to grind the beans for you to an espresso grind you ain't getting anything that even remotely resembles espresso. Pre bought lavas a etc will not work here. Extraction for an espresso should be between 20 and 30 seconds and should give you roughly double the volume in coffee to grind. For example 18g coffee should give you 36g espresso.
Again not trying to be a party pooper but the old cliche is absolutely true with coffee machines. You get what you pay for. And that's incredibly true with coffee.

You'd be far better off spending you €60 on an aeropress and a hand grinder.

Thanks for the advice. I was just about to enter a barista competition with mine.
