Coffee-loving dad? Give him the gift of better brew this Father's Day, with up to 30% off De’Longhi espresso machines
With prices from just AU$477 and a bonus gift pack worth AU$110, you don't need to be heavily caffeinated to appreciate the value
In case you’ve been living under a rock, Father’s Day in Australia is fast approaching, landing on Sunday, September 6. If you’re still in a tizzy as to what to get your dad or other father figure this year, and you know he’s rarely found without a coffee in his hand, then a De’Longhi fully automatic espresso machine has a good chance of making you his favourite child in 2026.
And, just in time for dad’s special day, the coffee machine maestro has knocked up to 30% off a wide range of machines, from manual models that will let your dad experiment with his morning brew, to fully automatic options that will have his cuppa ready in a matter of minutes.
There are far too many superb, discounted De’Longhi coffee machines to list on this page, so below I’ve highlighted three models that are highly regarded by both professional reviewers and everyday coffee snobs. With prices starting from AU$629 and a bonus Essentials Pack worth AU$110 with every machine, there’s something here to cater to all tastes and budgets — and also guarantee a delicious coffee time after time.
This flagship coffee machine can, quite literally, do it all. It can make over 50 coffee-based drink recipes across hot, cold and even takeaway. Yes, if your dad loves cold brew, the Eletta Explore makes it the authentic way, in under 5 minutes. Two LatteCrema carafes are supplied to take care of hot and cold milk foam, Wi-Fi connectivity means dad can fine-tune drinks via an app, or he can get more involved via a colourful 3.5-inch touchscreen display. He needn’t worry too much about fiddling with settings though, as De’Longhi’s Bean Adapt technology automatically adjusts grind, dose and temperature depending on the beans poured into the top-mounted hopper.
If dad doesn’t need all the bells and whistles of the Eletta Explore, then the Magnifica Evo could be more his thing. This premium coffee and espresso machine has seven drink presets, including milk-based drinks by way of the brand’s LatteCrema milk-foaming system, and all recipes can be customised. What’s more, many of the parts are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning, something that other brands often neglect.
The Magnifica Start is more of an entry-level machine but is no less talented. It’s ideal for smaller kitchens, dispensing espresso and creamy milk foam directly into a cup for delicious drinks at the press of a button.
To help get your dad on his way to becoming a master barista, in the lead up to Father’s Day every De’Longhi coffee machine above comes with an essentials pack, comprising a 1kg bag of beans, a bottle of descaling solution, an anti-limescale treatment and a spare water filter, to ensure his coffee maintains its great taste. All told, these freebies are worth over AU$110, saving both you and dad some cash.
