Hi everyone,
I'm new here so please be nice
I've got some FlyBuys points I want to blow on an espresso machine since we have switched to Woolies and won't be accumulating any more points anyway.
I have the choice between two from their rewards catalogue:
(The Breville I have enough points for, for the DeLonghi I'd have to pay an extra $77.41.)
My preferences and usage patterns:
Point 2 above is why I don't want to spend a significant amount of money on a better machine - couldn't justify the expense.
The other question is whether getting ground beans and keeping them in an airtight container instead of buying a grinder (again, see point 2 above) is a good option.
Thanks a lot in advance!

I've got some FlyBuys points I want to blow on an espresso machine since we have switched to Woolies and won't be accumulating any more points anyway.
I have the choice between two from their rewards catalogue:
- Breville Cafe Venezia Espresso Machine BES250
- DeLonghi Dedica EC 680 Pump Espresso Coffee Machine - Silver
(The Breville I have enough points for, for the DeLonghi I'd have to pay an extra $77.41.)
My preferences and usage patterns:
- I only drink black coffee (my wife doesn't drink coffee), so I don't need a milk frother
- It would only be used occasionally on weekends - only if I want a coffee after 3 pm when the local cafes close (I generally prefer the cafe experience
)
Point 2 above is why I don't want to spend a significant amount of money on a better machine - couldn't justify the expense.
The other question is whether getting ground beans and keeping them in an airtight container instead of buying a grinder (again, see point 2 above) is a good option.
Thanks a lot in advance!
