Exceptional espresso every time
It’s perhaps very telling that the first deal I find on this Friday morning is for an espresso machine. I think the majority of us can agree that a morning dose of caffeine is practically a necessity, and what better way to get it than with this talented KitchenAid model.
Not only is having one plonked on your kitchen counter a convenient solution to a 6 a.m. brew and saving you a trip to your local cafe, but it also cuts down on your usage of takeaway cups, and it can save you money.
Based on our KitchenAid KF6 review, it’s one that’s seriously worthy your consideration. To be honest, I wish I had the pleasure of reviewing this one myself, as my colleague Cat gave it a glowing five-star review, with the only faults being real trivial ones.
Not only does the machine look fantastic in my opinion, but it can brew “exceptional espresso” with a delicious, thick crema. There are plenty of customisable drink presets to choose from, and perhaps best of all, it’s easy to use.
It could conceivably have been deemed affordable at its original price considering what it can do, but you can now grab the machine, bundled with a milk container and hose for frothing with a tidy AU$458 discount at Amazon.

Alternatively, if you want your new coffee machine in a more attractive colour – I’m loving the look of Satin White – you can check out KitchenAid’s range of exclusive colours for the same price.

Sonos headphones sound Ace!
I’m a huge fan of the Sonos Ace headphones, but even I could admit that at AU$699, they were way too expensive when they first launched. So this Afterpay Day deal at The Good Guys, bringing them down to AU$440, is sensational.
I personally find them to be one of the most comfortable pairs of headphones I’ve ever worn, thanks in no small part to a hinge mechanism that ensures they conform to all heads. They sound great, too, although they don’t quite rival the sonic talents from the likes of Sony or Bose, and they have decent noise cancelling capabilities.
Where they do excel, however, is when watching movies, particularly those in Dolby Atmos. The Sonos Ace can support the format, and they really do sound cinematic when you’re watching on your phone. Plus, if you have a Sonos soundbar, you can send the audio from whatever you’re watching on TV to the Ace headphones at the touch of a button – handy if you want to watch something at night and not disturb anyone else in the house.
Plus, thanks to a recently released software update, they now get the long-awaited TrueCinema feature for more immersive movie watching when connected to a Sonos soundbar, and improvements to their ANC abilities. Just make sure to hit the Price Beat button to get the best deal.
