Yep, it's a great piece of kit!

Nothing wrong with giving the advice when it's asked for, or outlining steps that get me to a coffee I enjoy.

Lidl appear to have a good Delonghi coffee machine on offer next Monday!

It's €129 and same one in Brown Thomas is €299!

I'm on phone unable to post link and unsure of model number

It’s this one. Takes pods and ground coffee

Sorry can’t attach photo.

Delonghi Vintage Icona by the looks of it. See it on sale on currys uk for 139 pound so seems lidl are doing a good deal on it.

Quick Google indicate its a grand coffee machine with a mediocre steam wand.

Guess it depends on how it compares to others at this price, dedica in my opinion looks nicer and neater for little more at full price 200 euro in Harvey Norman.

Delonghi is a well known brand and seems a good deal especially if your kick starting.

Hodors Appletart · 11-02-2021 08:42PM

I have one of them, and it's about 8 years old. It needs to be descaled regularly as we live in a hard water area, but that's it. I see a comment above about the steam wand. It's ok, but we aren't into Latte Art or anything fancy like that.

It makes passable to good espresso in my opinion, there seems to be good pressure and the puck is normally not flooded, and there doesn't seem to be channelling. When I have espresso-specific beans, it makes nice coffee.

Hodors Appletart · 11-02-2021 08:48PM

Oh, don't get that machine if you can't grind your coffee fine enough!

The ESE Pods are normally a good price on Discount Coffee though, the stuff in them is ok, but freshness would be questionable.

IrishHomer · 11-02-2021 08:54PM

I always grind fresh beans so the coffee pods not an issue for me

Just an FYI, Velo is now free shipping on orders over €40 not 35 any more.

Been reading this forum over the last couple of weeks, so gave in and bought an aeropress.

How would that compare to a Bialetti pot in terms of quality of coffee?

Way less hassle, and in my opinion the Aerporess and Clever Dripper are tied for best manual brewers available.

The Aero is very forgiving and there are loads of recipes available to get the best, and different, types of coffee from it.

Of course it's all subjective, but for nineteen quid I think you're losing out by not owning an Aeropress

You have me sold anyway - about to go buy one..

She'll kill me yet, if its not whiskey, it's coffee.

I'm Craft Beer, then home brewing, then coffee

Thanks, I needed very little encouragement, and your response was more than enough.

JCDUB · 03-06-2021 12:57PM

It's a real pity, but their website is absolutely terrible.

I can't see any Aeropresses, in the sale section or anywhere else, probably because they're sold out, which is fair enough.

But when I enter the subscriptions area I get a 404 message.

The user interface is really clunky and difficult to use, which is a pity. I wouldn't have minded trying a subscription.

Grrrr... I’ve just committed to a 6-month sub with them, these offers are never in sync with me! Ah well, great deal nonetheless ðŸ™႒
