How to Upgrade Your Coffee Gear for the Coming Winter
There’s nothing quite like walking around in brisk autumn weather with a hot coffee in hand. It’s even better if it’s a coffee you brewed yourself, at home, with shiny new coffee gear. Black Friday coffee deals are here, and it’s a great time to score savings on the tools you need. Here we’ve curated exceptional sales on coffee gear the WIRED Gear team has tested, vetted, and put through the paces.
The Best Espresso Machines on Sale
The Cafe Affetto Automated Espresso Machine is a game changer. It’s fully automated and dispenses a perfect Americano with just one touch. The machine is available in white at a crazy low price at Amazon, $10 less than the lowest price we’ve ever seen. The Stilosa budget espresso machine is a favorite with a solid portafilter, reliable steam pump, and steaming wand in a compact body. The popular Mr. Coffee Cafe Barista is less expensive and still delivers great coffee, but it does foam up the milk more than the writer liked.
Coffee Makers for Every Space
The Keurig K-Express coffee maker may be small, but it’s mighty, boasting three different brew sizes and a removable reservoir. The Aeropress makes it almost impossible to create a bad coffee. Its fool-proof method has made it incredibly popular. For those mornings when you can’t be bothered to do more than insert a pod, the Keurig K-Mini Plus is a great choice to take up little counter space.
The Best Grinders and Electric Kettles on Sale
The Fellow Opus burr grinder has ground hundreds of shots of espresso perfectly. The Fellow Ode Grinder feels like a tank and delivers the most consistent pour-over coffee. The VSSL Java grinder is a portable coffee grinder tough enough to survive any outdoor expedition. If you’re a pour-over fan, the Stagg EKG Pro is a sleek and gorgeous electric kettle, while the Fellow Stagg EKG is still a solid choice with all the essential features.
These are just a few of the incredible deals on coffee gear available during Black Friday. WIRED reviews and tests products year-round and rounded these deals up based on actual discounts, not just the discounts retailers claim to offer. We will update this guide through Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
