There’s no better time than Black Friday to save money on valuable kitchen appliances, whether for gifting or treating yourself. A good place to start is with the best Black Friday coffee maker and espresso machine deals. This year, I’m already seeing some all-time low prices on a few of our favorite models.
As an experienced kitchenware tester and reporter, I’m poring over the sales to find can’t-miss coffee maker deals. From discounts on expensive machines to even better prices on reliable budget models, these discounts offer the most value. Many Nespresso machines are deeply discounted, including an all-time low price of $419 (40% off) for the Nespresso Vertuo Creatista. This multitasking machine is a big step up from other Nespresso models and is highly recommended for latte lovers. Another one of the best deals I’ve spotted is 21% off the Café Specialty Drip Coffee Maker, which is the lowest price ever on our best overall coffee maker pick.
Be sure not to miss out on the best deals, as machines with some of the most beneficial price cuts can sell out quickly. For more deals, check out all of our early Black Friday coverage across categories.
Best Black Friday deals on drip coffee makers
For coffee lovers who need an easy-to-operate machine that makes reliable java without a long wait, it’s hard to beat a classic drip coffee maker.

The Ninja DualBrew Pro, which is currently on sale at Amazon for $150 (marked down from $240), stands out as an especially good deal for those in the market for a new drip coffee maker.

The DualBrew Pro even includes an attached milk-frothing wand, so you’re all set for lattes and cappuccinos.

Black Friday coffee and espresso machine FAQs
Is Black Friday or Cyber Monday the best time to buy a coffee maker?
If you’re shopping at major retailers like Amazon and Walmart, Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales tend to last for several days. Coffee makers can be found at discounted prices, but if you’re eyeing a popular model that’s likely to sell out (or a model with a particularly big price markdown), you’ll typically want to buy it on Black Friday to beat the Cyber Monday crowds. That said, smaller brands and online-only brands not sold at major brick-and-mortar stores are historically more likely to run sales on Cyber Monday than on Black Friday.
What is the cheapest but best espresso machine?
Price-conscious shoppers seeking an espresso machine should consider the Casabrews Espresso Machine, which earned the top spot for the best budget machine. It has a compact profile that makes it a great pick for apartment dwellers and anyone looking to save counter space. It brews a full-bodied shot of espresso in just one minute, complete with a thick crema layer. The integrated steam wand allows you to streamline your latte and cappuccino-making. On Black Friday, it’s available for $119, marked down from $140.
Should I buy a Keurig or Nespresso?
Keurig and Nespresso count among the most notable names in single-serve coffee makers, but the right device for you depends on your coffee preferences. The Keurig is the best choice for drip coffee drinkers; these devices can make larger cup sizes, and the end results tend to closely resemble a classic American cup of joe. Nespresso, on the other hand, focuses on quick espresso-style coffee, so it’s the right choice if you enjoy straight espresso shots or espresso drinks like cappuccinos and lattes. The final pours coming out of a Nespresso machine will be darker and more concentrated, although you can easily add some hot water to make an Americano.
