Prime Day is back for a second time this year, and while we could go on about the sale’s awkward name, we’ll go on about the Prime Day espresso machine deals instead. Because unless you want to deal with the chaos that is Black Friday and Cyber Monday—these Prime Big Deal Days discounts represent the best prices you’re going to find on espresso makers and other espresso gear for the rest of the year.
How to get the best Prime day espresso machine deals
No matter the name of the sale or time of year, the very best Amazon Prime Day deals are always reserved for Amazon Prime members. So in order to score the biggest discounts on the best espresso machines, you’ll need to be logged into your Amazon Prime account at checkout.
If you’re not already a Prime member, you can sign up for a 30-day trial at any time. And if you’re serious about upgrading your espresso machine today, we recommend just signing up for your trial right now because the very best espresso machine deals often sell out quickly and you want to be able to check out as soon as you add a new espresso machine or cappuccino machine to your cart.
Like Amazon Prime Day, Prime Big Deal Days are Amazon’s thing. But other retailers often have competing deals, so to help you get the lowest price possible on espresso machines (and coffee makers, and other kitchen gear), we’re monitoring offers on Amazon as well as competing retailers and updating the best deals as they happen. So be sure to bookmark this page and come back often.
All of that said, there are still plenty of great Prime Day espresso machine deals that haven’t yet sold out, so check out the list below whether you’re buying your first espresso machine or you’re ready for an upgrade. As always, our recommendations are limited to gear we’re actually familiar with—no random milk frothers or espresso makers from suspicious sounding companies—so you can shop this list with confidence.
Skip to a specific product below or read on to take in all the espresso machine deals to snag during Prime Big Deal Days.
Breville Barista Express Impress
An improvement on the original Breville Barista Express Espresso machine, this compact semi-automatic espresso machine will help you learn how to pull better shots at home. It has a built-in burr grinder, an easy-to-use steam wand, and a clear pressure-gauge that makes it easy to know exactly how much pressure you’re using so you can adjust as necessary. The built-in assisted tamping system means you don’t need to measure your beans or figure out how hard to tamp them into the portafilter. This counter-space-saving machine is a one-stop shop for cappuccinos, lattes, flat whites, americanos, and more.
De’Longhi la Specialista Arte
This high-end semi-automatic espresso machine from De’Longhi has a built-in burr grinder with eight settings, three temperature settings, a powerful steam wand, and detachable dishwasher-safe parts. It’s another one-stop-shop machine for all kinds of espresso-based drinks and today you can save more than $100 on one.
Philips Fully Automatic Espresso Machine
If you want a more streamlined espresso setup at home, this Philips Fully Automatic Espresso Machine will grind and tamp the beans for you. It also has a built-in milk frother for perfectly-foamy lattes, cappuccinos, and cafe au laits.
Café Affetto Automatic Espresso Machine
Café makes our current top-reigning drip coffee maker, and right now the brand’s sleek, stylish Affetto automatic espresso machine is a whopping 49% off. This all-in-one machine has a built-in bean grinder and a steam wand, and if the drip machine’s performance is any indication, this countertop eye candy will be as functional as it is gorgeous.
Nespresso VertuoPlus with Aeroccino
You might be surprised to learn that quite a few BA staffers love popping our favorite pods into our machines and getting espresso-style shots and cups of coffee with just the press of a button. And this VertuoPlus from Nespresso’s newer Vertuoline makes the whole process super easy because each Vertuo pod is marked with a barcode that tells the machine exactly how to extract the coffee or espresso. It takes all the guesswork out of espresso-style shots, and the coffee it brews is also far superior to anything you’ll get from a Keurig K-Cup or that drip machine you’ve had since college (sorry, Mr. Coffee; we had some good times). This Prime Day offer is an incredible deal because the machine is bundled with the Nespresso Aeroccino3 milk frother, as well as a set of Vertuo capsules to get you started.
Nespresso Vertuo Next
The Nespresso Vertuo Next does everything the VertuoPlus above does—and it can connect to Wi-fi and brew an 18-ounce carafe of pour-over style coffee from a single Nespresso Vertuo capsule. If you don’t need the Aeroccino and you want the ability to brew basically a small pot of coffee from one pod, this is the machine for you.
Nespresso Aeroccino3 Milk Frother
Or, if you already have a good espresso or Nespresso machine and are just missing the frothed milk, upgrade your setup by snagging the Aeroccino3 on sale. It does a beautiful job of frothing all kinds of milks and milk alternatives, and it makes hot and cold frothed milk.
Zulay Milk Frother
If you want the ability to froth milk but you’re trying to save counter space—and cash—opt for this little handheld frother. It’s powerful enough to fully incorporate matcha powder and froth whatever creamy alt-milk you throw at it.
KitchenAid Burr Grinder
Unless you’re using a pod coffee maker or an automatic machine with a built-in grinder, you’re going to need a good coffee grinder at home (just say no to pre-ground espresso beans!). And a cheap little device with spinning blades does not count as a “good” grinder. For the best possible coffee experience, you need a burr grinder. Instead of metal blades violently slashing your beans, a burr grinder breaks them down by methodically rotating them against an abrasive surface. It’s what baristas use at coffee shops and what you should be using at home. Burr grinders cost more than the Edward Scissorhands-style grinders, but there are plenty to be found under $100, and this this Prime Day you can score one for more than 20% off.
Hario Ceramic Manual Coffee Grinder
Professional barista Aki Yaguchi loves using a manual grinder when brewing at home. This compact model from Japanese brand Hario features ceramic conical burrs that can be easily adjusted from a fine grind for espresso to a coarser grind for French Press. This gadget was designed to be portable, so you can use it at home or on the go.
Zroden Milk Frothing Pitcher
Prime Big Deals Days is also an excellent time to stock up on even the most basic espresso gear, like an extra stainless steel milk frothing pitcher. This one is more than 40% off and even comes with a fancy little stainless steel latte art pen.
Tampers
Unless you get a fully automatic espresso machine like the Philips you’ll need to tamp your shot. Choosing a spring-loaded tamper like this Espro will make sure you get exactly the right pressure every time.
