Tips for buying a coffee machine on Black Friday

1.Look at individual specifications: When thinking about grabbing a new coffee machine and looking at Black Friday discounts, the number one tip to remember is to buy one that suits you, and the best way to do that is to check the specs of each machine you look at.

The features that a coffee maker offers – or doesn't offer – can be the difference between a purchase you love, and one you return a week later. The main thing, even if you feel confident in your skills as a barista, is that you want your coffee machine to be easy and efficient to use. If you're looking for a more manual coffee machine, helpful features to look out for are a built-in grinder, automatic switch-off setting, and pressure gauge, while those who are looking for an automatic coffee maker will want to know whether their coffee maker has a built-in milk frother, or a bin to hold used coffee grounds.

The perfect coffee machine is a personal decision. It depends on how you like to drink your coffee, how much time you are prepared to take to make yourself a tasty brew and how much room you have in your home, as well as the cost of whole beans, ground beans and pods. Whether you like to smash an espresso or slowly sip a cappuccino, there will be a perfect coffee machine deal out there for you this Black Friday – just be sure to check the specs as you shop so you get one that's right for you.

2. Don't be blinded by discounts: It's very easy, with so many deals to sort through, to just find the one with the biggest saving in dollars, or biggest percentage discount, and quickly buy it. I mean, they all make coffee, right? What difference does it make? Well, a lot – and just grabbing the best deal might not leave you with the best coffee machine for your needs.

For example, Nespresso pod machines are fantastic. However, there are two different styles of Nespresso machine – Vertuo and Original – and the pod sizes they use are wildly different. So, pairing a whole bunch of Starbucks Nespresso pods with a new Nespresso Vertuo Next as a gift is a lovely idea – but those pods will be completely unusable with that machine. Pods also cost quite a lot more than beans, ground or whole, though you have to weigh that up with the speed they provide.

Point being, just because a deal has sliced the price of a machine by 70% doesn't make it a deal for you. Be sure to look at all your options, and always follow step one even when looking at a mindblowing Black Friday coffee machine deal.

3. Do your research in advance: The best way to make sure you end up with the right type of coffee machine on Black Friday is to do your research in advance. We advise reading our best coffee machine guide to narrow down the product you're interested in and the specifications you need. Once you have a good idea of what you’re looking for you can approach the Black Friday coffee maker with a good understanding of whether the machine you're interested in is worth the money. This also helps to see what the regular price is without Black Friday, so you can know whether a deal is an actual deal or not. Or, you could just check out our Black Friday deals so you don't need to worry.

When will the best 2024 Black Friday coffee machine sales start?

Black Friday falls on November 29 in 2024, and there are a whole heap of deals worth considering right now as we inch towards that date. However, we expect Black Friday itself to provide the biggest and best coffee machine bargains of 2024.

But don't worry if you have plans on Black Friday – there'll be plenty of deals to choose from. The majority of the early Black Friday deals now live will likely only drop further in price by a small amount, if at all. The entire week leading up to Black Friday will be filled with deals, and Black Friday itself will then run over the weekend, ending with Cyber Monday on December 2. So, if the cost-of-living crisis has you looking to save everywhere you can as we head into the holiday season, there'll be plenty of sales to enjoy.

What Black Friday 2024 coffee machine deals do we expect to see?

Just like all the biggest retailers and products like Apple, Dyson, Nintendo and others, we expect all the big-name coffee brands to be offering hefty discounts come late November. This includes De'Longhi and Breville, as well as KitchenAid, WMF and Ninja coffee machines, with Nespresso regularly seeing price reductions throughout 2024. We expect to see machines from Keurig and Lavazza in this year’s Black Friday sale, too.

There's usually a variety of different machines on offer that cater to a wide range of budgets and coffee-making capabilities, so don't worry about not being a barista – some coffee machines are as easy to use as turning the kettle on.

Bean-to-cup machines with a range of high-tech built-in functions such as a milk frother, grinder and pressure gauge are generally included in the more expensive Black Friday coffee machine offers. Although these coffee machines are usually more expensive, they can save you extra money in the long term because you won't need to purchase additional equipment, such as a milk frother or separate coffee grinder.

There are also deals from Nespresso that allow you to get free or heavily discounted pods when you buy a machine, so they could be on offer during Black Friday, too.

What's a good coffee machine for home use?

Does the coffee maker really make a difference?

In short, yes, the price and quality of a coffee machine will make a big difference to how your coffee tastes.

A high-quality water heater will ensure you coffee is brewed at the perfect temperature, making sure all the flavour comes out, without burning the beans and making it bitter.
