If you want to grab a coffee machine deal before Christmas, this is your last chance. I've been able to find some final savings on Sage, De'Longhi, Nespresso, and Lavazza.
When it comes to Christmas, lots of the best coffee machines are at the top of our wish lists. Whilst there isn't a way to predict sales, RRPs remain historically stubborn at a time of high demand. Don't despair though, I have a helping hand.
As a former barista, I'm pretty coffee-obsessed. I've tested over 150 coffee machines and I like to keep an eye on the prices all year round. I've spotted a few of my favourite machines on offer, so I thought it would be rude not to share them.

FAQs
When is a good time to buy a coffee machine?
The best time to grab a coffee machine is in some sort of seasonal sale. They're scattered throughout the year, with Prime Day in the summer and Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Boxing Day, and New Year's sales over the winter. Really good deals are hard to find, so if you see one you like the look of, don't let it pass you by.
Should I buy a coffee machine on Black Friday?
Black Friday is always a great time to snap up a coffee machine deal, because it's when all retailers have their most competitive sales (and you'll still get it in time for Christmas). In 2024, I saw the Nespresso Nertuo Next halve in price and £200 off the De'Longhi La Specialista Maestro.
Is it worth buying a used coffee machine?
Unless it's been used just a few times, don't bother. There's a chance that the person before you wasn't filtering their water or maintaining the machine well, so there will be all sorts of limescale and wear-and-tear hidden inside the machine. If you want to save money, shop for your coffee machine in the sales.
What is the best cheap and easy coffee machine?
If you're not fussed about having freshly ground brews, a Nespresso Vertuo coffee machine will deliver you coffee that's quick and easy to make. If you want something more than just pod coffee, take a look at the Lavazza Desea. Whilst this is still technically pod coffee, the flavours it produces are incredible.
What kind of coffee machine should I buy?
This will all depend on the flavours and types of coffee that you like to drink. I've created a table below to give you a helping hand
| Type | Type of coffee | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bean to cup/automatic machine | Cafe-style, fresh, aromatic | Best flavours, easy to use, luxury experience | Expenisve, often large |
| Espresso machine | Cafe-style, fresh, aromatic | Easy to adjust, fresh flavours, versatile | Expensive, more complex (takes practice) |
| Pod machine | Light, simple | Cheap, easy, speedy, low-maintenance | Compromises on flavour |
| Drip coffee machine | Delicate, light, fresh | Batch brews, simple method | Flavours aren't for everyone, can't do single cups |
| French press | Rich, acidic | Compact, cheap, and fresh | Less versatile (can't make espresso, latte etc) |
I'll be keeping you up to date on all the best coffee machine deals over the winter. I'll only recommend deals on coffee machines that I've actually tested and liked, so stay tuned for my cherry-picked selection.
