TJ Maxx in actual stores has the Breville Barista Pro for $499.99! This is not a markdown or refurbished, but probably ymmv. It doesn't show up on their website.

I heard about this deal in the comments of the $679.95 Amazon thread last week. Went to 7 stores on Sunday 12/8, 3 TJ Maxx, 3 Homegoods, 1 Marshalls. All in Eastern Wisconsin. Here's what I found:
- TJ Maxx #2: Three Breville Barista Express for $500
- Homegoods #1: Two Breville Infusers (forget the price)
- TJ Maxx #3: One Breville Barista Pro for $500 that's now in my home thanks to Slickdeals
While some folks in the other thread and reddit mentioned finding theirs on a high shelf or somewhere you wouldn't expect, I swept the entire floor of every store and all the Brevilles were always on a table with a bunch of other large appliances (e.g. Breville toasters, nutribullets, etc.) in the middle of the aisle or adjacent to an endcap near the home/kitchen goods.FYI the box does indeed have a sticker on it noting the Baratza burrs, and I have made some phenomenal drinks already after dialing it in (highly recommend watching a video tutorial for that.) I'm extremely pleased with this machine and hope it holds up over the years. My barista friend, the snobbiest of coffee snobs, said he can make a 7/10 espresso drink on his friend's BBP. For the lowkey snob or average person, I'd say that's a 9 or 10.
As for the Barista Pro vs. Bambino, the integrated grinder on the BBP seems totally fine to me. I had to manually adjust the top burr from the factory setting of 6 to 2, but there's still plenty of room to go finer if I ever need to. I ultimately decided on the Barista Pro over the Bambino + standalone grinder just to bring an end to the analysis paralysis. To keep it simple. I don't have time to go that hard in another hobby lol.
Godspeed to all of you on the hunt.

Good luck with the hunt! They sometimes will have other Breville products, like the Smart Oven, toasters, and kettle

There are at least 3 versions that I know of. The oldest does not come with the dosing funnel. So if you don't see that on the box you know for sure it's an old unit. The newish ones come with one.
The latest one has the dosing funnel + updated grinder.
I honestly would recommend a separate grinder and just get the bambino plus but that's just me. I no longer use the built in grinder on mine. I use a DF64 gen 2 and it's much better than my old one.
