My local store as 2, however I can't find a reason to replaced my Breville 870XL. It's still running great after 3+ years.

Not sure why people say it makes good coffee... my friend has this one in silver, and the coffee is too watery to my taste.

It could be the beans they are using (Lavazza from Costco) but It never tasted nowhere near as real espresso ...

I don't know about this unit, but beans make a huge difference. We're pretty much solidly on The Pilot wagon with Balzac as our backup since their Ancaster roaster is in our backyard. Before that, it was Intelligentsia or bust. If we for some odd reason cannot get access to those three, we brew tea*.

And there are are still 3 at $429.93 at the Carling CT in Ottawa, if their stock tracker is reliable...
A hot deal is in the eye of the beholder.

I had to play with my Talea's settings quite a bit before I found the coffee wasn't watery. The problem is the puck is rather small, and I think by default the machine uses too much water for such a small amount of beans. But the beans will always make a difference for any machine.
c'mon get happy!

I tried Pilot's holiday blend and did not like it, went to Sam James instead, which was better. I'll buy a bag of Pilot's heritage blend to compare once I run out. My friend's family run a cafe and they only use Phil & Sebastian. Will see if I can get a bag from them to test out as well.

Beans are always going to be personal, but The Pilot does a good balance of taste and convenience for us. Out of what is readily available (Lavazza, Detour, Balzac, The Pilot, Intelligentsia), The Pilot came out on top.

Just wanted to know if folks think this is a good deal. This seems to be mixed reviews. I was thinking of getting a Nespresso machine or should I get this instead!?

You can get better results with a machine like this provided you are using better coffee than what Nespresso offer.

Super Automatics make very good espresso AND are convenient while keeping the cost per cup down. (There is large range in price from this to the top Super Automatics $3-4000! BUT they are all most essentially the same with basically the same basic components with minor differences like automatic milk frothing, digital timers or even control via an iPad for the huge jumps in price)
Manual machines probably make the best espresso if you take care and know/learn how to use them but also take longer (especially if you are making several cups) and less convenient.
Nespresso makes very good espresso, is easy and quick but also quite expensive per cup.

I started with a Mokita Combi Super Inox (same as the Lelit pl042 - quaha napolitana) about 16 years ago... Great machine, great coffee, and I still have it as a backup unit.

Then about 10 years ago, I got the Saeco Vienna Deluxe (actually was given to me by a good friend - since his wife had switched and using their nespresso machine more than this). In the 10 years that I've owned the unit, I've only had 2 issues with it. First time, it was a power filter which fried (was about $25 for the part directly from Saeco), and took me about 15 minutes to replace. This was due to a problematic neutral from Hydro lines into house. So I'm glad the filter failed instead of the machine.
Then the second time was about 2 weeks ago, when the plastic thumbscrew on the top of the brew group which holds the top shower screen in place, ended up snapping. Cost me a whole $3.50 from Saeco, and installed in about 2 minutes.

Machine makes 2 or 3 shots a day on weekdays, and about 5 or 6 a day on weekends. Works like a charm, simple to use, and consistent. I use mostly filtered water in it, and I clean it with Dezcal (which I buy the bulk pack from amazon) for cheap [under $5 for 7oz]. The single use packets are 1oz/L - so I use the same ratio].

I would not hesitate in buying another Saeco unit, should this unit fail beyond repair.

The Mokita Combi makes great shots also, and you have more control over the whole process. But, shear laziness for daily use, wins and the automatic saeco gets used most often.

PS: If you are in the Montreal/Laval area, I have noticed that "bestcost eelctronique" seems to have nice prices on these machines. They have quite a few at decent prices. Some are refurb, some are open box, some are new. They come with 6 to 12 month warranties. NOTE: I have not purchased from them, and have no affiliation with them. I've just been looking at what they have, and would possibly consider buying from them, since they are about 10% cheaper than even the Saeco refurb prices direct from factory.

Thanks guys for the comments. So last question for those folks that have this machine. Any issue with the longevity of it?

I'm pretty sure that if you can find a store that has it in stock, you can order it delivered to your house for a fee of $17.

Never hurts to ask as I was able to get a price match to $329 in Calgary even though the store I initially ordered a pickup from at that price cancelled it. I wont rub in what our sales tax is on top of that... :D

I also tried to price match the 3100 to $500 but I could only find stores in BC and Manitoba that had that price so they wouldn't do it.
