My kitchen is truly tiny – you can cross it in two big steps – meaning counter space is at a premium. That's why I am switching from a bulky coffee maker to a compact AeroPress during the Memorial Day Sales.
These seriously sleek non-toxic coffee makers combine several brew methods into one to produce barista-grade coffee in a tool that fits in a kitchen drawer.
The Clear AeroPress, available at Williams Sonoma, proves that you don't need the biggest, fanciest machines and years of training to make a quality brew at home. And with $10 off, it's now even more worth the investment.
All prices were correct at the time of publication.
We have loved every AeroPress coffee maker we have tried, and think each one is well worth the money, even more so when they go on sale.
While it might not steam your milk or offer bean-to-cup at the touch of a button, the AeroPress is designed for certified coffee geeks. Crafted from Tritan, a premium BPA-free copolyester, it is durable, shatterproof, and non-toxic, delivering quality coffee without the risk of contamination from 'forever chemicals.'
Our expert barista, Laura Honey, reviewed the Clear AeroPress when it first launched and quickly became a fan, praising its ability to seamlessly brew espresso-style coffee, Americanos, cold brew, and lattes using a single tool. 'If you need tasty coffee on the go, you won’t do better than this. The AeroPress well and truly lives up to its reputation,' she wrote.
'For $50, you won’t find a better coffee maker,' she added, making any discount on it all the more compelling.
For me, the real draw of the portable AeroPress is its size. Designed for travel, whether on a daily commute or a longer vacation, the Clear AeroPress takes up minimal space in kitchen storage. Its durability also means it can be safely tucked into a drawer without the worry of cracking under a little rough handling.
Beyond its function, it is also sleek enough to sit on the counter without disrupting your décor or monopolizing valuable food-prep space, as some bulkier coffee makers tend to do.
While the discount is modest, any price drop on this coffee bar essential is rare, making Memorial Day the ideal moment to upgrade your coffee station.

If you're new to coffee grinding and you don't want to splurge on a high-spec model, this affordable option is a great place to start. It's a solid all-rounder, but it is not a fine-grind specialist.
This compact handheld milk frother won't heat your milk like the Nespresso Aeroccino we reviewed, or the Smeg Milk Frother we gave 4.5 stars, but it comes in at a fraction of their price, and doesn't take up anywhere near as much space in your kitchen. The five-star reviews, of which there are over 220,000, speak for themselves, too, with thousands of happy shoppers finally enjoying more luxurious home coffee for less.
If you really want to bring that café-style coffee home, you will need to pick up some quality syrups and beans. This tiered countertop organizer is a great way to keep these organized, using vertical storage to save space while creating a visual display.

Nothing ruins your brew like stale coffee. This coffee canister features a patented inner plunger lid with a two-way valve that forces excess oxygen out of the canister and locks out excess humidity, preserving freshness for longer when storing coffee beans.
This ultra-sensitive scale allows for readings as low as 0.1g for the perfect bean measurement for home espresso.
