[London Drugs] Oster All-in-One Coffee Maker $99.99 Reg $349.99

So many other deals from London Drugs as well.
Thank you OP

I would consider buying this if it had a built in coffee grinder. Reviews are mixed but hard to find a great machine for under 100$ regardless.

How the heck does this make espresso.

If you click on pic 2 & 3 on the London drug website, the drip basket can be swapped for an espresso portafilter.

With that being said, I have my doubts in the coffee quality it produces.
- is the waters hot enough?
- pressure this thing will push through?

Well can't find this model anywhere but LD & Canadian Tire. So probably a model number customized just for a handful of Canadian vendors.

$99 is probably the wholesale cost here. Canadian Tire had a sale in the spring for $100 off list, this must be the final closeout.
Few details, didn't see any reputable reviews but if you were already in the market for a $100+ coffee maker it's probably a deal.
I won't be buying one though. Not enough info.

Just for laughs, found it cheaper on one website @ $85. But is that site fishy. Just shouts scam, did a lookup on the domain and was not surprised to find that it was created earlier today. Almost as bad as buying this item at Canadian Tire would be.. where CT still has it at $350. Because you know Canadian Tire really hates price reductions.

It looks like Oster and Mr Coffee share the same model https://www.amazon.ca/Mr-Coffee-BVMC-Oc ... B07RG7ZSG5

+1 to the OP
Useful link as it has more product info and some Amazon user reviews.
More evidence that this is a solid deal for a low to mid-level all in one machine.

some bad reviews about the k-cup attachment, but otherwise looks decent. Oster makes amazing blenders, not sure about the coffee machine tho

would just get a really nice dedicated espresso machine, especially to make nice espresso when hosting guests

Are there better Machines at around this price point ? I was looking mostly for a capp. maker.

Thanks, the bf loves coffee and has just recently taken an interest in making his own espresso etc. This will make a nice christmas present!

Hope you never have to deal with Oster customer service. Very slow at responding.

In terms of price, this is a hot deal. You don't see lower prices very often unless you import from the US. And that is a lot harder to do these days with the closed border.

You can find a few basic espresso or cappuccino machines under $100. E.g. here is a cappuccino only machine for $54 US. Now that ought to convert to about $75 Cdn. But in Canada the same thing sells for $123. You seldom find competitive prices in Canada. This is a typical pattern. E.g. I want to buy a popular TV which you can find on Amazon.com for $799 US ($1,100 Cdn). But the best price you will find in Canada at Costco.ca or Amazon.ca is $1,500 Cdn.

Bottom line, unless you stumble across another hot deal, you aren't likely to better this price in Canada. If you are interested read the Amazon reviews. I don't think this machine will win any awards but it will probably do as well or better than a lot of machines costing more.

You can find a few cappuccino only machines on Amazon.ca around $75 with apparently reasonable reviews. So looking around there is probably your best alternative. E.g. here or another one here. Keep in mind these will not make drip coffee, although you could still make an Americano.

I have used this coffee maker for 3 days now. It is pretty versatile. I tried to make espresso, cappuccino and latte and they all tasted good. That being said, the original price, $349, is a bit overpriced, but for $99, I think it is a decent deal. My only concern is its longevity.

PS. Breville also has the same model, which looks to be sold in the UK.
