Afterpay Day might be officially over but Amazon’s filling that sale-sized gap in our hearts with its “Big Smile Sale”.
Kicking off at midnight on March 18 the discounts will be online until March 24 so you’ve got a full week to nab a bargain.
And high on my list of preferred products is the Philips 4300 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine, which usually retails for $1,199 but is currently reduced by 42 per cent to $699.

Now it might look like the kind of machine you’d spot in an upmarket cafe being used by a professional barista but don’t be alarmed, customers are calling it incredibly easy to use.
You can get perfectly textured milk in your next home brew thanks to the high-speed LatteGo system which is made of only two dishwasher-safe parts and no tube for easy cleaning.
There are eight beverage selections at your fingertips, from a powerful espresso to indulgent cappuccino.
Easily select your drink with the espresso machine’s simple one-touch interface and adjust aroma strength and volume with the coffee customiser.
It can store up to two different people’s personal preferences for instant coffee selections and use the “Coffee Customiser” function to make any coffee your own by adjusting intensity, strength and milk length.
And with an almost half price discount, why wait to save?
“This is a brilliant machine and so easy to use. You don’t have to be a coffee snob to get great coffee from this machine,” one woman wrote.
“Easy to use. Easy to clean. The milk container cleans itself and comes on and off easy. Store it in the fridge. Love everything about it!,” said another.
A third added: “After reading reviews on the Phillips 4300 I decided to buy and to my surprise the simplicity of operation is amazing.
“Milk frother does the job perfectly and easy to clean. With a two year warranty, ceramic grinders and a water filtration system it really requires little maintenance and the LED screen takes you through each step logically.”
