Where's the Cheapest Place to Buy a Coffee Machine in Australia 2026?
The cheapest place to buy a coffee machine in Australia depends on the model, but comparing Amazon Australia, The Good Guys and Myer, timing a sale, and going through ShopBack before you pay usually gets the lowest final price.

New to ShopBack? ShopBack Australia is a free shopping app and website. Before you pay for an online order, go through ShopBack first: you tap through to the store, shop as normal, and part of what you spent comes back to you as cash. Join ShopBack Australia for free.
The short answer, with the numbers that matter
Three figures drive most of the difference in what you pay, all taken from the stores' own pages at the time of writing:
- Amazon Prime costs $79 a year or $9.99 a month, according to Amazon Australia's Prime membership fee page. If you already pay for Prime, Prime delivery on eligible items is part of what you have paid for, which can make Amazon's delivered price hard to beat on smaller machines.
- The Good Guys' 30 Day Price Guarantee pays store credit of 120% of the difference if the price of your product drops at The Good Guys or an approved competitor within 30 days. It only applies if you bought Gold Service Extras in the same transaction, claims are made online within 30 days, and the store credit is valid for 90 days, according to The Good Guys.
- MYER one members earn 2 points per $1 spent at Myer, according to Myer. That does not lower the ticket price, but it gives back value on a later purchase.
Then there is ShopBack. ShopBack is a post-purchase discount: go through it before you pay and the effective price drops. On a $600 machine at an illustrative 5% rate, $30 comes back, so the effective price is $570. That rate is only an example; check the live rate on the Amazon Australia, The Good Guys or Myer ShopBack page before you buy.
Coffee machine types and what drives the price
The first decision is the type of machine, because it moves the price far more than the store does. The Good Guys sorts its coffee range into capsule, automatic, manual, drip filter, built-in and cold brew machines, which is a useful way to think about the market.
| Type | Up-front cost | Running cost | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capsule | Usually the lowest | Highest per cup, because you buy pods | One or two cups a day, no fuss |
| Drip filter | Usually low | Low, uses ground coffee | Long black drinkers, batch brewing |
| Manual espresso | Middle | Low, uses beans or ground coffee | People who enjoy making a flat white by hand |
| Automatic (bean to cup) | Usually the highest | Low per cup | Busy households that want cafe style at the press of a button |
| Built-in | High, plus installation | Low per cup | Kitchen renovations |
| Cold brew | Varies | Low | Iced coffee fans |
Two tips save more than chasing the last few dollars on the ticket price:
- Price the whole first year, not just the machine. A cheap capsule machine can cost more over 12 months than a mid-range manual machine once you add pods. If you drink three cups a day, beans usually work out cheaper.
- Check whether you need a grinder. Many manual espresso machines do not include one. A machine with a built-in grinder can be better value than buying the two separately.
Buying a coffee machine in Australia in 2026: where each store is strongest
For coffee machines in Australia in 2026, Amazon Australia, The Good Guys and Myer each have a different strength. Comparing them on those strengths, rather than on a single headline price, is how you find the cheapest option for your situation.
Amazon Australia
Amazon Australia carries a wide range of capsule, manual and automatic machines from many brands, plus pods, beans, milk jugs and descaler. Its main programme is Amazon Prime, which costs $79 a year or $9.99 a month according to Amazon Australia. Prime members get Prime delivery on eligible items and access to member deals during events such as Prime Day. If you only want Prime for one big purchase, the monthly option is the one to compare against the delivery charge you would otherwise pay.
The Good Guys
The Good Guys is an appliance specialist with stores across Australia. Three things stand out for coffee machine buyers, according to The Good Guys' own pages:
- Click and Collect orders are usually ready to pick up in 1 hour during store trading hours, which avoids a delivery fee if you live near a store.
- Seen it Cheaper? is a dedicated line, 1300 942 765, for buyers who have spotted a lower price elsewhere. You can also order by phone or through Pay Less Chat.
- 90 Day StoreCash is a free digital wallet programme that earns rewards on qualifying purchases. You sign up and activate the wallet before you buy.
Myer
Myer sells coffee machines alongside kitchenware and small appliances, and is often a good place to find premium brands during department store sales. Its programme is MYER one, where members earn 2 points per $1 spent at Myer, according to Myer. Myer also advertises free delivery over a minimum spend and Click and Collect from stores; check the current delivery threshold in your cart, because it can change between sales.
Amazon vs The Good Guys coffee machine price comparison 2026
When you compare Amazon and The Good Guys on the same coffee machine in 2026, check four things side by side: the ticket price of the exact model number, the delivery cost to your postcode, any membership you would need, and what happens if the price drops after you buy.
| What to compare | Amazon Australia | The Good Guys |
|---|---|---|
| Membership | Prime, $79 a year or $9.99 a month | 90 Day StoreCash, free to join |
| Getting it quickly | Prime delivery on eligible items | Click and Collect, usually ready in 1 hour |
| If you find it cheaper | Check the listing again before you pay | Seen it Cheaper? line, 1300 942 765 |
| If the price drops later | Check Amazon's terms | 30 Day Price Guarantee with Gold Service Extras (120% of the difference as store credit) |
| See it before you buy | Online only | In store |
In practice, Prime members buying a capsule or entry-level manual machine often find Amazon the simplest delivered price. Buyers spending more on an automatic machine often prefer The Good Guys, because they can try the controls in store and collect it the same day. Neither is always cheaper, which is why comparing the same model number on the same day matters.
Amazon, The Good Guys and Myer: how to buy a coffee machine for less
Here is a simple routine that works for Amazon Australia, The Good Guys and Myer alike:
- Pick the exact model number. Brands sometimes sell near-identical machines under different codes at different stores. Match the code before you compare prices.
- Check all three stores on the same day. Note the ticket price, delivery to your postcode and any member price.
- Add the membership cost if you need it. For Amazon, that is $9.99 for a month of Prime if you do not already have it.
- Wait for a sale if you can. See the sale calendar below.
- Go through ShopBack before you pay. Open the store's ShopBack page, tap through, and complete your order in the same session.
- Keep your receipt and order confirmation. You will need them for warranty, any price guarantee claim, and to check your ShopBack order.
Other Australian stores that sell coffee machines include JB Hi-Fi, Harvey Norman, Bing Lee, David Jones, Big W and Kmart, and brands such as Breville, De'Longhi and Nespresso also sell direct.
Coffee machine best deals in Australia in 2026: when to buy
The best coffee machine deals in Australia in 2026 usually line up with the big retail sale periods. Prices on popular models can move a lot between these windows.
| Sale period | When | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| End of financial year | June, ending 30 June | Appliance retailers clear stock before the new financial year |
| Prime Day | Mid-year, dates announced by Amazon | Member-only prices on Amazon Australia for Prime members |
| Father's Day | First Sunday of September | Coffee machines are a common gift promotion |
| Black Friday and Cyber Monday | Black Friday is 27 November 2026 | Often some of the biggest discounts of the year on small appliances |
| Boxing Day | 26 December | Clearance on gift-season stock |
If your old machine has died and you cannot wait, compare the same model across the three stores that day and go through ShopBack before you pay, so you still bring the effective price down.
How ShopBack fits into buying a coffee machine
ShopBack Australia works with Amazon Australia, The Good Guys and Myer. Think of it as a step in buying, like checking the price at a second store: before you pay for an online order, go through ShopBack first.
How it works:
- Open the store's page on ShopBack Australia: Amazon Australia, The Good Guys or Myer.
- Tap through to the store and buy your coffee machine as you normally would.
- ShopBack tracks the order. Once the store confirms it, the cashback becomes available to withdraw to your bank account.
Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles. That is the difference from MYER one points or StoreCash: those are store rewards you spend at that store later, while ShopBack cashback is money you can withdraw.
A worked example. You find an automatic machine for $900 at The Good Guys. At an illustrative 5% rate, $45 comes back after the order is confirmed, so the effective price is $855. The rate here is illustrative only; rates change and some categories are excluded, so check the live rate and the terms on the store's ShopBack page before you buy.
A few things keep the order tracking properly: start from the ShopBack page, finish the order in the same session and device, and use only codes listed on the store's ShopBack page, because some outside codes can make an order ineligible. The guide to activating ShopBack before you buy has the full checklist.

Frequently asked questions
Where's the cheapest place to buy a coffee machine in Australia?
There is no single cheapest store for every model. For the same brand and model, compare Amazon Australia, The Good Guys and Myer on the same day, then add delivery and any membership cost. Buying during a major sale and going through ShopBack before you pay usually gives the lowest final price.
Is Amazon or The Good Guys cheaper for coffee machines?
It depends on the model and the week. Amazon Australia suits Prime members who want delivery included in a membership that costs $79 a year or $9.99 a month, according to Amazon Australia. The Good Guys suits buyers who want to see the machine in store, collect it the same day, or ask staff to look at a cheaper advertised price.
When are the best coffee machine deals in Australia in 2026?
The biggest price drops usually land around end of financial year sales in June, the November sale season (Black Friday falls on 27 November 2026), and Boxing Day on 26 December. Mother's Day and Father's Day promotions often include coffee machines too.
What type of coffee machine is cheapest to buy?
Capsule and drip filter machines usually cost the least up front. Manual espresso machines sit in the middle, and automatic bean to cup machines usually cost the most. The running cost matters too, because capsules cost more per cup than beans over time.
Does The Good Guys price match coffee machines?
The Good Guys runs a Seen it Cheaper line on 1300 942 765 for buyers who have spotted a lower price. Its 30 Day Price Guarantee pays store credit of 120% of the difference if the price drops within 30 days, but only for customers who bought Gold Service Extras in the same transaction, according to The Good Guys at the time of writing.
Is Amazon Prime worth it for buying a coffee machine?
Prime costs $79 a year or $9.99 a month according to Amazon Australia, so a monthly membership for one purchase can make sense if Prime delivery or a Prime member price saves more than $9.99 on your order. If you already pay for Prime, Amazon is worth checking first.
