Prime Day comes only once a year, and last year it was bigger than Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined. The event is typically held in June, but has been pushed back to October this year because, well, it’s 2020.
Until we find out what this year’s deals will be, we’ve included on this page some our favorite coffee items. We’ve covered and recommended all of these items at Bean Poet over the past couple of years. They’ve also proven to be popular with Bean Poet readers.
On Prime Day, we’ll update this page with new deals as they become available. Check back throughout the day—they can go fast!
To take advantage of Prime Day prices you will need a Prime membership. You can sign up for a free 30-day trial that will get you through Prime Day.
You can start your shopping by browsing through the items below. We hope you find something you like.
Bean Poet’s Prime Day recommendations
NEW: Calphalon Temp iQ espresso machine
Day 2 begins with a home espresso machine we’ve had our eye on for some time. The Calphalon grinds, brews and steams milk. It’s the real deal if you want to get into home espresso, and they’re offering it for 35 per cent off.
Today you can get almost 30 per cent off what we consider to be Keurig’s signature brewer, the K-Elite. Probably the quickest and easiest way to get a fresh cup of coffee in the morning, and of course the variety of Keurig’s pod selection remains unmatched.
Great price here on a Nespresso machine that allows you to make both espresso and regular coffee. This one is made by De’Longhi (we explain here) and makes only the coffees but does not froth milk.
NEW: Nespresso VertuoPlus by Breville with Aeroccino and coffees
Here’s another great deal if you’re looking for a Nespresso VertuoPlus with a little more capability. This Breville machine comes with an Aeroccino milk frother and a selection of coffees. Learn about the differences here.
This Cuisinart topped our list of the best coffee makers under $100, and today it’s on for a ridiculous price. It has its own permanent filter so you don’t need to buy paper, and you can program it 24 hours in advance.
Bodum has long been the king of the French press, and we love this single-serve travel press that will keep your coffee hot. A great companion for camping or everyday use.
Wow, we were not expecting this today! Literally our favorite drip coffee brewer at an unbeatable price. The Moccamaster has 50 years of top-notch Dutch engineering behind it and makes great coffee. Deal ends at 7 p.m. PDT Tuesday.
Fellow makes great electric kettles, and while we prefer their gooseneck models for maximum control with pour-over coffee, the Corvo will work well for everything else. Terrific price for this electric kettle.
Casara’s milk frother is highly rated and uses smart settings to froth up milk for cappuccinos, lattes and the link. If you’ve got your espresso covered with another device but have always wanted to add milky drinks to your repertoire, here’s your chance.
Here’s a solid 12-cup brewer for dinner parties and the like. We typically recommend a Cuisinart in the sub-$100 price range, but Hamilton Beach is another solid option and this is a substantial discount. (If you have Alexa, she can make this machine brew!)
People are always looking for a coffee maker with no plastic whatsoever. French presses are among the few options that actually achieve this. The Secura is a good-looking press that makes enough for two people in a single brew.
This is our favourite travel mug to come on the market in the past couple of years. It’s designed with a mouth that’s as wide as your coffee mugs at home, so you get the full aroma and flavor of your coffee while you’re on the go. And it looks quite stylish.
The Chemex brewer is in the Museum of Modern Art and it belongs there. It has appeared in Mad Men and James Bond films, but don’t buy it for its celebrity—buy it for some of the cleanest, most refined coffee you’ll ever brew.
Our go-to pour-over brewer. The Hario is affordable, easy to master, and consistently brews terrific coffee once you get your process all sorted out. If ceramic’s not your thing, look for the glass, plastic, or even copper versions.
The AeroPress is kind of a genius invention and the one we take traveling whenever we’re not sure what the coffee situation will be at our accommodations. Easy to pack, easy to clean and makes remarkably good coffee one cup at a time.
A container for properly storing your coffee grounds might be the best investment you make in your coffee journey. We recommend the Bean Envy canister, and it has proven to be a popular choice with Bean Poet readers.
We’ve said before that French press is our everyday brewing method, and the Espro P7 takes care of the only drawback we can think of: the sediment. A uniquely designed double filter gives you a cleaner cup than you’ll get from any other press.
Our post on plastic free coffee makers has been somewhat controversial, because with most coffee makers you can’t really avoid plastic, you can only minimize it. The Frieling, however, is the real deal and a great-looking device as well.
If you like to jump around between brewing methods as much as we do, then the Baratza Encore is a great electric burr grinder for you to start with. Not for serious espresso freaks, but an incredibly handy machine for just about everyone else.
Anyone who appreciates the importance of a consistent, even grind needs a hedge against finding a $30 blade grinder in a rental unit or AirBnb. The tiny JavaPresse travels well and pairs nicely with an AeroPress to give you great coffee anywhere.
When you’re ready to skip the trips to Starbucks and start making your lattes at home, this is the machine. An easy-to-use, entry-level espresso machine that will make just about every specialty drink you want, and teach you a few things as well.
If all you need is quick and easy espresso in the morning without having to think too much, the Essenza Mini is perfect. There’s plenty of variety in Nespresso’s coffee capsules these days, and the quality is always high and consistent.
Nothing fancy here, just a good, reliable drip coffee brewer that can brew every morning for a couple, or enough for a decent-size dinner party. An affordable coffee maker that can last a long time if you treat it right.
Percolator coffee isn’t big with the hipsters, but we have a lot of readers interested in the Presto. The reason? Strong coffee! If you like it big and bold, not many machines can do it like a percolator and this one can brew for quite a few people as well.
‘The Scoop’ is a great choice if you just want a simple, easy-to-use single-cup coffee maker. It brews in about two and a half minutes, and all you need to do is rinse and refill the reusable filter to get it ready for your next cup.
A good gooseneck kettle takes care of the messy splatter that results when you try to make pour-over coffee with a conventional kettle. This Bonavita model is unbeatable in its price range and will change your life if you haven’t tried a gooseneck.
We got into roasting at home a couple of years ago, and we can assure you it’s a lot of fun. The FreshRoast SR540 makes it as easy as popping corn. You’ll always have the freshest possible coffee, and it will save you a ton of money in the long run.
Here’s a machine that will let you feel like a real roaster. The Kaldi Wide has a metal drum that rotates above a gas flame and can roast more than half a pound at a time, making it a good choice for roasting beans as gifts for friends and family.
