Black Friday is now only a couple of weeks away, and you're in the right place to find all the best deals on espresso machines. I'm scouring all the big retailers (and plenty of smaller ones) to find you the biggest savings on coffee makers from big brands including De'Longhi, Smeg, and Breville so you can save time and well as money.
Black Friday lands on November 29 this year, but there's no need to wait until then to get a great deal on a coffee machine. Lots of big stores have already launched their official Black Friday sales, and more will be going live in the next few days.
In the UK, De'Longhi has just flung open the doors to its official Black Friday sale, with some huge savings like the excellent PrimaDonna Soul for £854 (was £1,379.99). In the US I'm keeping a close eye on Breville, which has launched a bundle of early Black Friday deals on small kitchen appliances, but no coffee machines just yet.

This manual coffee maker launched earlier this year, and this Black Friday deal is the first time it's dipped below full price. It's a striking manual machine that offers a light guiding hand to help you get the best results possible. This $200 discount is a huge price cut for such a new machine, and a great Black Friday deal.
This powerful, feature-packed espresso machine is a souped-up version of the excellent De'Longhi Magnifica Evo (check out our full review) with more drink options, a larger milk carafe, more control over milk texturizing, and an improved control panel. This is its lowest ever price at Amazon, with almost $200 off.
There's a third off the price of this premium compact barista-style espresso machine in Amazon's Black Friday sale. Our reviewer Cesci Angell gave it a full five stars, and said "I’m not exaggerating when I say that I love this". Praise indeed, and at this price it's even easier to recommend. If Amazon sells out, the same machine is just 95 cents more at Best Buy.
This retro Smeg coffee machine has also received an enormous discount with this early Black Friday deal. It's a great entry-level manual machine, and received four stars when we reviewed it in December last year thanks to its ease of use and smart Italian style.
Our reviewer called this "a compact Nespresso coffee machine that's great for single servings", and awarded it four stars out of five. With over $100 off, it's one of the best deals we've seen in Amazon's early Black Friday sale.
Not only has this compact Nespresso machine received a hefty price cut ahead of Black Friday, bringing to back down to its lowest ever price, it also includes an Aeroccino milk frother for making lattes and cappuccinos quickly and easily.

With £700 off, this is easily the most exciting coffee maker deal I've seen this Black Friday. The PrimaDonna Elite is a fully automatic machine that puts 13 drink options at your fingertips, creates hot or cold smooth foamed milk automatically, and lets you create personal profiles and tailor your drinks via the Coffee Link mobile app.
This super smart espresso machine has received a huge Black Friday discount of over £500 at De'Longhi's online store. Our tester praised its user-friendly interface and menu of 21 drink options available with a quick tap of its responsive touchscreen. The machine even adapts the grind size to suit your choice of coffee beans. See our full De'Longhi PrimaDonna Soul review to learn more.
This premium manual espresso machine is an excellent Black Friday deal at John Lewis, with £200 off. Unlike most espresso machines, it's capable of brewing both hot and cold, and give you the choice of using a manual steam wand for silky smooth milk, or an auto milk system to save valuable time.
This is the espresso machine I have at home, and it very rarely gets a significant discount, so this is a deal well worth checking out. It's a fully manual machine, and a professional barista recently told me that it's one a lot of pros have in their own kitchens. It's compact, stylish, and extremely well made - I've had one for years, and it still looks and works like new.
There's a huge £180 off this sleek bean-to-cup coffee machine at Lakeland for Black Friday. When she tested it, our reviewer Sophie Bird praised its ability to make "barista-worthy drinks", sturdy build, and ability to make two espressos at once thanks to its dual spout (see our full De'Longhi Magnifica Evo review for more details). An excellent fully automatic option if you want to take the hassle out of preparing coffee in the morning.
This is a massive saving, and one of the best Black Friday espresso machine deals we've seen so far in 2024. The Smeg BCC13 is one of our all-time favorite espresso machines, and this is the same model with a manual steam wand rather than an automatic milk frother. That's actually a bonus if you want to use plant-based milk, because the auto milk system is optimized for dairy and doesn't work brilliantly with alternatives like oat or almond.
Marks Electrical has beaten Amazon's best price on this compact bean-to-cup coffee machine, which our reviewer gave four and a half stars out of five. It's much smaller and more affordable than a typical fully automatic espresso maker, and includes an auto milk frother for lattes and cappuccinos.
There's a huge 46% off this premium Nespresso machine at Amazon right now - the cheapest it's ever been by miles, and its second price drop this month. The joy of a Nespresso machine is that there's none of the mess or hassle of weighing and grinding your own beans, and whereas most only make espresso, this model also has a steam wand for cappuccinos and lattes.
Very has beaten Amazon's Black Friday deal price on this excellent little espresso machine, which our reviewer gave 4.5 stars out of 5. It heats up fast, offers lots of customization options for your drinks, and boasts a particularly good milk frothing system (something many affordable espresso machines struggle with due to their relatively low pressure boilers).
This excellent manual unit earned a place in our roundup of the best espresso machines thanks to its compact design, and ability to take either coffee grounds or pods. Unlike most budget espresso machines, it also has a steam wand for milk frothing. A great buy, particularly at this price.
Tassimo has knocked a huge 61% off the price of this compact single-serve coffee machine, and thrown in 24 coffee pods free. It's an exceptional early Black Friday offers, and applies to the machine in cream or black.
This compact single-serve coffee maker is one of the cheapest around this Black Friday. it takes Tassimo pods, which are widely available online and from supermarkets, and include options from Costa, L'OR, and Cadbury's. It's available in black, cream, and white.

Black Friday espresso machine deals: FAQs
When will the Black Friday espresso machine deals start in 2024?
Although Black Friday itself isn't until November 29th, retailers are launching their sales earlier every year, and we're expecting the first Black Friday sales to start several weeks in advance. For example, Amazon used to confine most of its sales (including big savings on espresso machines) to the week surrounding Black Friday, but last year it launched its sale on November 17th - two full weeks before the day itself.
Most deals will end on Cyber Monday (December 2), but some may stick around longer. We'll be keeping this guide updated throughout the whole period to let you know which espresso machines are still in stock, which deals are likely to sell out, and which prices have just been cut further.
Is Black Friday the best time to buy an espresso machine?
In our experience, Black Friday is definitely one of the best times of year to pick up a new espresso machine, with offers starting well ahead of the day itself and continuing right the way through to Cyber Monday (and occasionally beyond).
What Black Friday espresso machine deals do we want to see in 2024?
This year we've got our fingers crossed for some great Black Friday deals from big brands like Ninja, Smeg and De'Longhi, both of which have released some great automatic espresso machines this year. We might even see the first big price cut on the excellent Smeg BCC13, which earned a place in our roundup of the best espresso machines a couple of months ago.
Everything from pod coffee machines to barista-grade coffee makers received major discounts last year, with offers like 29% off the De'Longhi Dedica Arte Espresso Machine at Amazon in the US, and £400 off the Sage the Oracle Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine at Amazon in the UK.
Many of last year's best Black Friday espresso machine deals sold out fast, so it'll be important to move fast when the machine you want goes on sale. We'll bring you the latest info on stock levels throughout the sale period and let you know about hot deals that are likely to end soon.
