What is the best time to buy a coffee machine?

Black Friday and the pre-Christmas period offer the best discounts, especially on bean-to-cup machines. Early October is also good for small appliances.

Are coffee machine sales reliable?

Not always: some 'was' prices start from an inflated level. Check the price history to tell a real drop.

Should I wait for Black Friday for a bean-to-cup machine?

Often yes: that's when absolute drops are biggest on these pricier models. Watch your model's history.

When to buy a coffee machine for less

Updated : July 2026

Coffee machines, especially bean-to-cup models with a grinder, can be a real budget. Choosing the right buying moment saves noticeably. Here's when to buy.

The best periods

Black Friday & Cyber Monday: the biggest discounts of the year, notably on bean-to-cup machines. See Black Friday 2026.
Before Christmas: a classic gift, lots of offers.
Early October: a good period for small appliances in general.

Bean-to-cup vs pods: different logic

Bean-to-cup machines (often expensive) see the biggest absolute drops during major events. Pod machines, cheaper, are regularly on sale — but watch the ongoing cost of pods.

The essential reflex

Always check the price history: in this category, some "was" prices restart from an inflated level. Also compare retailers.
