Our favorite coffee makers

These are the first machines I would look for in the Presidents' Day 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.

When to shop the best coffee maker deals

Presidents' Day coffee maker deals

Following the holiday period, the Presidents' Day sales offer more great coffee maker deals. Many stores continue with their discount strategy through the two months of the new year, allowing you to grab high-quality machines at a fraction of their original cost. January and February are a key time for restocking kitchen essentials, including coffee makers, as people focus on home refreshes and setting up for the new year.

Plus, in previous years, we’ve 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.

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.

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.
