Our favorite coffee makers
These are the first machines we look for in the sales. They are the highest-rated coffee makers at the top of our buying guides. It's a good idea to put these 5-star machines on your wishlist before the sales kick-off, so you can rest assured you'll invest in a high-quality coffee maker deal, rather than a panicked bargain.
The clue is in the name: this is a professional quality machine which delivers barista-worthy result. Breville's machine is the perfect balance of hands-on and automated. User-friendly and well-designed, it’s the best espresso machine that I’ve tested.
If you're looking for ease, this machine is fully automatic. All you have to do is tap a screen to gain access to over 52 styles of coffee. Every cup is top quality, from cortado to cold brew. It's a brilliant option for busy, hands-off coffee snobs.
This was our favorite automatic machine for ages, but De'Longhi's newer, sleeker models took beat it to the top position. It's still a really great machine and I've seen it as much as 50% off in the sales this year. So, if you love quick lattes and cappuccinos – you'll want to keep an eye out.
This coffee maker can brew anything from a single shot to a whole carafe of coffee. It's easy to use and one of the most affordable models on the market. That's why it's the 5-star-rated winner of our buying guide this year.
This is the best single-serve coffee maker on the market. The pods taste like actual fresh espresso, not just instant or filter coffee, and there's a huge range of delicious flavors to choose from. It's one of the fastest coffee makers we've tested, making hot coffee in around 30 seconds.
You won't find better than this seamless, stylish design. The Espro P7 makes the best French press coffee and cold brew you'll ever taste. It boasts stainless steel, double-insulating walls and the finest filtration, too.
This made the best cold brew coffee maker of all the ones I tested. It's easy to use, neatly designed, and feels more premium than the price tag suggests.
This is the number one in so many ways: it's the first moka pot design, made by the first moka pot makers, and it's the best in all moka pot buying guides. However, it won't work on induction stoves.
When to shop the best coffee maker deals
Black Friday coffee maker deals
Black Friday to Cyber Monday was a great weekend for coffee lovers and bargain hunters alike. Most major retailers slash prices, and many top coffee brands get in on the action (Nespresso, De'Longhi and Philips all run Black Friday coffee maker deals) – so these the perfect days to score a machine you’ll love without breaking the bank.
Whether you’re after a classic drip machine, a sleek espresso maker, or a state-of-the-art bean-to-cup model, the Black Friday coffee maker deals offer options at every price point.
If you miss a Black Friday coffee maker deal or want to compare prices, Cyber Monday is a second chance to score major savings across brands and models.
Holiday season coffee maker deals
Retailers like Amazon, Wayfair and Walmart run holiday season discounts on everything from entry-level brewers to premium espresso machines – ideal for gifting. Top brands like Nespresso, Breville, De’Longhi, and Jura frequently see discounts, especially on their older or smaller models.
January coffee maker deals
Following the holiday period, the January sales offer more great coffee maker deals. Many stores continue with their discount strategy through the first weeks of the new year, allowing you to grab high-quality machines at a fraction of their original cost. January is a key time for restocking kitchen essentials, including coffee makers, as people focus on home refreshes and setting up for the new year.
In previous years, we’ve also seen discounts on premium coffee makers that didn’t sell out before Christmas, giving you another chance to buy that coveted machine at a lower price.
Amazon Prime Day coffee maker deals
Amazon Prime Day might be my favorite time of year to find coffee maker deals. The event is held annually in mid-July (with an additional fall event in October), Prime Day brings deep discounts across Amazon’s extensive selection of coffee makers, espresso machines, and coffee accessories.
Last Prime Day, I found savings of up to 55% off on brands like Keurig, Nespresso, Breville, and De’Longhi. For Prime members, early access to lightning deals and extra savings on select items sweeten the deal even further, while those new to Prime often qualify for a free 30-day trial – so everybody can enjoy the discounts and speedy delivery.
Labor Day coffee maker deals
Labor Day isn't just a holiday – it's an excellent time to shop for coffee makers, with sales often extending through the entire holiday weekend and into early September. As one of the last big sales events before the holiday shopping season, Labor Day deals some generous discounts on coffee makers. It’s a great opportunity to pick up drip coffee makers, espresso machines, and single-serve brewers for 20-40% off.
How we find the best coffee maker deals
It's actually my full-time job. All year round, I research the best coffee makers, exploring the newest models, rigorously testing popular machines, and tracking price trends to identify the best coffee makers with standout features, value, good design, and reliability. I continually update our best coffee maker buying guide throughout the year, documenting price drops and comparing prices so we’re always ready when the biggest discounts hit.
With years of experience, I know which retailers consistently offer the most competitive coffee maker deals. Amazon is unbeatable for its vast selection, while Walmart and Best Buy excel in appliance sales, and Target and Wayfair are my go-tos for bundle offers and good-looking espresso machine discounts. I’m always on the lookout for value-packed bundles that include extras like milk frothers, coffee pods, or extended warranties, so you get the most out of every purchase.
To catch the best coffee maker deals, I also use price-comparison tools. Timing is everything, especially for seasonal sales. Deals go live at different times, so I check early and late in the day to catch midnight drops, restocks, and the day’s best savings.
How we test coffee makers
At Homes & Gardens, we take our coffee maker tests seriously. Before we feature them or recommend you buy them, each machine will have been tested by our experts and compared to models from top brands like Breville, Nespresso, and Technivorm.
Where possible, we test how a coffee machine fares on making espresso, Americano, and cappuccino. This lets us see the range that a coffee maker has, across milky coffee as well as more intense and flavorful shots. However, if a coffee maker claims to be able to make a vast menu of different coffees, we'll test them all and let you know about them in our 'special features' section. We make sure to use the same coffee beans in each test, so that we can compare how well the flavors and aromas of the coffee has been extracted. If a machine can froth milk, we will test non-dairy milks too, as these can be temperamental.
We'll make notes on everything from aesthetics to cleaning and maintenance, so that you can get a holistic idea of what these machines are like to live with before you invest in them. If you'd like to find out more, you can visit our dedicated page to learn how we test coffee makers.
