Pity you didn't read all the responses after your original post or you would have easily found multiple businesses in AUS that were, and still are, selling the BES870 for under $700. Posts like #11, the 4th one prior to your 2nd post.

Looked deep for that half price that was mentioned in Aus, but alas couldn't find it and ordered from over the other side of the world. Pity someone didn't put the URL he found that half price in Aus.

The BES920 was known for failing when descaling. This was rectified I believe by fitting a valve of some kind and the machines which have been fixed are the BEP920. So that's the one to buy.

I had a play at one today in London (john lewis on oxford st). I've been here for about 6 months now and keen to in get back into coffee.
The 920 works pretty well. Looks exactly the same as the 900, except there's a descaling port at the front of the machine.
I thought the price was a bit steep in comparison with Aus; 1200GBP for the BES920 and 200GBP for the Smart Grinder.

I'm surprised by the price increase then - although as I recall the BES900 started at $1500 and then dropped fairly quickly.

From theBES900 threadOriginally posted by SniffCoffee View Post
Also interesting to see the price. Just proves the adage "spend a dollar in Oz, spend a pound in the UK"!
SniffLooks like $1700 is the going rate for the 920 here and in the UK.Originally posted by Jimmytheboot View PostStanding in Harvey norman and there's a Bes920 on the shelf $1699.95

Smart marketing by Breville, on the Sage website the only mention of Breville is as BRG.
$1700 odd and it will sell due to who recommends them, as I said smart marketing.
