A WOMAN has been left convinced she’s bagged the deal of the century with a high end coffee machine, but people have since warned her it's too good to be true.
Coffee is an essential part of the morning for many, with people going all out to buy barista-style machines to ensure they get their fix at the start of each day.
So when one woman saw Lavazza’s A Modo Mio coffee machine going for just £1 with an added subscription fee for pods each month, she thought she’d nabbed an incredible deal to save her tonnes.
Sharing a snap of the receipt on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook, she wrote: “Lavazza has a deal at the moment where if you sign up to the coffee pod subscription you can get their coffee machines for £1 (usually up to £299)”.
She went on to add: “Just be aware, it’s only a deal if you buy their coffee pods anyway, as you have to sign up to a certain No of subscription orders.
“We buy these coffee pods anyway so works for us!”

But people were quick to comment on the major catch to the deal, which she appeared to overlook when making her purchase.
One person wrote: “£1 machine but £450 in subscription…. Errrmm where’s the bargin I’m lost.” [sic]
A second chimed: “Minimum delivery is 10packs at £4.99 each and minimum subscription is 7-9 deliveries, so around £350- £450.
“Personally it would take me almost half a year to use up one subscription so means I'd be tied up with them for 4-5 years?” [sic] followed by a laughing emoji.

A third person explained that it’s not really a deal at all as they said: “It’s not a deal it’s a product, I did this 3 years ago,” before adding: “Still got the machine tho it’s great.” [sic]
A fourth joked: “No wonder they’re giving you the machine for free if your spending nearly £500 on coffee with them,” [sic] with a laughing emoji.
While another warned those looking into committing to subscriptions: “Recession on the way, be careful about commitment to subscriptions…”
But, the person who shared the post hit back at these people, explaining that it’s still a saving for them as they already bought the capsules in the past.
When one person argued: “Not as amazing deal as you think, gotta spend about £450 on capsules/deliveries before you can cancel,” they replied: “…which is why, as said, only a deal if you are using that amount of coffee anyway!”
