The best coffee machine deals, selected by a barista

I've cherry-picked these, so there's something for everyone below. If you like pod coffee, the Lavazza and Nespresso savings are incredible. For those who want a more luxurious bean-to-cup experience or a barista-style espresso machine, there are savings of hundreds of pounds.

Nespresso Vertuo Pop
Nespresso Vertuo Pop: was £99 now £58

The Vertuo Next is a step up in size and capacity from the Pop (my favourite). The two make similar-tasting coffee, but the Next is bigger and normally more expensive.

Lavazza A Modo Mio Desea
Lavazza A Modo Mio Desea: was £249 now £169.45

If you like the convenience of capsule coffee, but you want more artisanal flavours and silky milk (for lattes and the likes) this is the only machine to buy. My only complaint was the price, but with £100 off, this is a steal.

De'Longhi Rivelia
De'Longhi Rivelia: was £749.99 now £629.49

I love no-fuss coffee, which is why the Rivelia is my top pick for the best bean-to-cup coffee. It makes a delicious brew and you can customise each cup that you make, the machine will remember your preferences, and then suggest coffee that matches your drinking patterns. It's the ultimate luxury experience.

FAQs

When is a good time to buy a coffee machine?

Any major sales period will be the best time for you to snag a saving on a good coffee machine. For us, that'll be the Boxing Day and New Years sales, so watch this space for updates.

I've listed my favourites above to help point you in the right direction. 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).

Because coffee machines can range anywhere form £100 to £2000, Black Friday discounts are always hugely significant to the price you pay so it's well worth waiting until Black Friday to buy the model you want, for far less.

Think how many coffee pods or coffee beans you can afford to stockpile with the savings you'll make. Speaking of which, it's worth looking out for deals on those too for Black Friday, for instance you can buy the Lavazza Coffee Capsules (compatible with Nespresso Original Machines) with 28% off (now £30, was £42.50).

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.


I'll be keeping you up to date on all the best coffee machine deals. I'll only recommend deals on coffee machines that I've actually tested and liked, so stay tuned for my cherry-picked selection.
