Trade in you old coffee machine

June 2023 – Trade in your old Coffee Machine and lease to own an Italian fantastico !
Remember that old saying “

“The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.” 

― Benjamin Franklin

it’s a race to the bottom on most modern appliances. Even the big brands aren’t what they used to be and if you go into any Big Box Retailer in Australia you’re going to flip a coin, heads it lasts longer than the warranty, tails you’re going to regret the purchase. Just because it’s got a fancy touch screen that connects via bluetooth to another memory hungry app on your phone, it doesn’t mean you are getting a good value item. Making coffee involves electricity and water, build quality is essential to longevity not wifi.
So here’s an alternative to the throw away option .
I’ve partnered with a small Italian manufacturer 969 Coffee Machines to bring you a hand made quality machines that makes great quality coffee year after year. As I said to my inaugural customer when he asked how long it would last, ‘Brian’, they will be making coffee out of this at your funeral reception’. No he was ok with it, perhaps not his wife, but he knew what I meant. A good Italian machine will last 20 years.
Here are a few reasons I would buy a good Italian traditional machine and not one of the Big Brand mass produced machines;

1. Simplicity – there is a lot less to go wrong in a simple heat exchanger machine. This is the main reason why McDonalds dropped the automatic machines and went back to the traditional machines. Less maintenance costs.

2. Yes you can learn to make a Barista quality coffee at home. The kids at McDonalds learnt to use a traditional machine, even I did, and so can you. Coffee becomes more than a quick caffeine fix when you own a nice coffee machine and know how to use it. It’s something you really look forward to each day. Good coffee is about Italian tradition and ceremony. Just stopping and slowing down to make a good coffee is something you can look forward to every day. It’s a nice distraction in these troubled times.

3. The coffee is better – good quality coffee is about the correct grind, the right dose and water temp and pressure. This is the another reason Mcdonalds dropped the auto machines. A Quality coffee comes from a quality barista not a machine.

4. Longevity – our Italian coffee machines are still hand made in Italy. They are beautiful inside and out. The factory can’t knock them out in volume but old Aldo knows what he’s doing. They are made by people who really care. It’s how the world used to be before it was all about the shareholder. These little Italian factories are central to life in these towns. The entire village are proud of their products and the factory.

5. Parts – The coffee industry in Italy is supported by a network of down stream factories that make all the components. All Italian machines, no matter what brand utilize these same factories. So if you ever need a part for an Italian machine, you can get it anywhere, not just me. And here I must remind you of the bottle necks we experience for spares for the Consumer Brands and too often replacement parts are faulty. This is a very important point I just made. Obsolescence is planned and failure is profitable for the cheap stuff. Even light bulbs could last a hundred years if manufacturers wanted them too. Yes this is true, it must be its on wikipedia.

6. And I will make this the final point, PRICE. What you say? surely an Italian machine costs more than those things I saw in the Mall. Yeah but when we calculate price we must consider value. Pay a little more upfront but save year after year. And you will. Thus the higher ticket item is often cheaper in the long run.

Oh there is one other thing and I don’t mean the plastic Island 3 times the size of France floating in the Pacific Ocean, although there will be old coffee machines floating amongst the debris. Yes its true, here’s the story. I’m referring to trade-ins and finance. I will trade your old coffee gear and be generous. So if you are here thanks to a failed coffee machine. Text me 041 6838560. Life is too short to muck around with an inferior coffee machine making crap coffee that will spend the majority of its life in the Pacific Ocean.
I have some beautiful colours coming and models and we are talking to another Italian Factory. Remember we are Factory direct, no middle men.
They are selling like crazy in the NZ market, not just the chrome, the charcoal, yellow are popular. Nobody seems to like Red. The finish quality is excellent. These machines are special. And yes stock is limited, so do some research on the brand and book one. See the range here.

 If you’re after an ex-trade machine with a years warranty, be quick, they don’t last long. See them here.
