If you’re waiting until Amazon Prime Day to finally buy a new espresso machine, here’s a bit of advice: Start shopping now. Amazon has already dropped hundreds of deals on top-quality espresso makers ahead of its two-day Prime Big Deal Days event, which runs October 7 and 8. Breville, De’Longhi, Gaggia, and Nespresso are just a few of the major espresso machine brands that are already deeply discounted by as much as 40% off.
Among some of the best early Prime Day deals we spotted: our test topping Breville Bambino Plus, the space-saving Nespresso’s Vertuo Next, and Ninja’s do-it-all Espresso Luxe Café, which makes espresso, coffee, and cold brew.
These marked-down espresso makers are already selling fast, so it’s a good idea to snag your favorite before they go out of stock. See some of our favorite early Prime Day deals below.

Who can shop the Prime Day Sale
Historically, the very best Amazon Prime Day deals (a.k.a. the lowest prices on the best products) are reserved for Amazon Prime members. Prime members get free shipping on Prime Day deals too. If you’re not already a member and you want access to all of the best Prime Day espresso machine deals during this summer’s four-day sale, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial before the sale starts. (What you do with that membership after the sale and before the end of the trial is between you and your browser.) That said, just like with the early Prime Day deals that popped up in the weeks leading up to the sale, there are still plenty of great deals to be found on Amazon and at competing retailers during the big Prime Day sale, no membership or coupon required. We’ve rounded the best Prime Day deals on espresso machines
The best Prime Day espresso machine deals
Breville Bambino Plus
The Breville Bambino Plus was named our best budget espresso machine, and it’s 20% off ahead of Prime Big Deal Days. The easy-to-use machine heats up in seconds and pulls a delicious, crema-topped shot every time. It also froths milk automatically. Just place the jug beneath the wand, select your desired foam setting, and push the steam button. The machine takes over from there. If you want to play barista, the Bambino Plus lets you tinker with the brew temperature and time, and you can also steam milk manually.
De’Longhi La Specialista Touch Espresso Machine
There’s a lot to love about the De’Longhi La Specialista Touch. It has presents for nine different coffee drinks, including espressos, cappuccinos, and Americanos; includes a built-in burr grinder that saves specific settings for different beans; and has an automatic milk frother for creating velvety latte art. If you’re a cold brew drinker, good news: The La Specialista Touch also features a cold-extraction setting that yields a smooth-tasting coffee.
Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Maker
The Nespresso VertuoPlus is one of our favorite pod machines, but the Vertuo Next is almost identical. It makes deliciously rich, crema-topped espresso and can brew up to 18 ounces of pour-over-style coffee. The machine has a sleek, space-saving design, with a water tank positioned behind the unit.
Breville Barista Express
This is Breville’s least expensive all-in-one espresso machine and it was once one of our favorites (that honor now belongs to the Breville Bambino Plus). It’s a good option for beginners with 16 grind settings and a steam wand. If you’re an espresso newbie, we recommend using the included double-walled filter baskets to help ensure you brew to the right pressure.
Gaggia Classic Evo Pro
One of our testers, a former barista, found the Gaggia Classic Pro to be a reliable machine for making morning Americanos, after-dinner affogatos, and espresso shots with “picture-perfect” crema. The semiautomatic machine calibrates the boiler and water pressure but allows you to control the length of shot pulls. It also has a commercial-grade portafilter, filter basket, and steam wand that keep the taste and texture of drinks consistent.
KitchenAid Fully Automatic Espresso Machine
KitchenAid’s espresso machine is packed with smart features that let you create 15 coffee drinks with minimal effort. Its automatic dosing technology grinds beans to the ideal volume and consistency based on the drink you select from the touchscreen menu. It also automatically froths and heats the exact amount of milk you need for your beverage.
De’Longhi La Specialista Opera Espresso Machine
“I genuinely didn’t know you could make espresso with bright crema on top at home until I got this machine,” a reviewer said of Breville’s La Specialista Opera. “The texture of my lattes is smoother and creamier, the quality is better, and it’s so easy to use.” The machine brews five different drinks, has a built-in burr grinder with 15 grind settings, and features smart-tamping technology so you always get an even tamp and consistent extraction. It also includes a powerful steam wand and a cold setting for making cold brew.
Breville Infuser
One of Breville’s slightly older models, the Infuser is similar to the Barista Express but without a grinder. It pulls a flavorful shot and comes with a decent steam wand that operates via dial. While it may not have all the bells and whistles of newer Breville machines, it’s worth snapping up while it’s 33% off.
Ninja Espresso Luxe Café Machine and Drip Coffee Maker
Ninja’s popular Luxe Café machine is a triple threat. It’s an espresso maker that pulls both double or quad shots; a drip coffee machine that makes classic, rich, or over-ice styles; and a cold brew maker that can also make cold-pressed espresso. The Luxe Café automatically grinds beans to the appropriate size and volume for your drink, and has a hands-free frothing system for creating hot and cold foam.
De’Longhi Magnifica Evo
Small and simple, the Magnifica is an automatic machine that can brew seven drinks, including espressos, cappuccinos, lattes, macchiatos, and iced coffee. “I love the automation, the selection of coffee or espresso, and the frother to perfectly steam milk,” a reviewer said of the compact espresso machine. “I can adjust the grind and bean strength, can use it for hot water, or set it for an iced coffee. Highly recommend.”
Breville Barista Touch Impress
For years we resisted recommending any machines with a built-in grinder, until we tried this one, which includes an excellent one that incorporates hardware by iconic grinder company Baratza. The quick-heating Impress has 30 grind settings, a “smart tamping” lever for a perfect coffee puck, and a superior automatic milk steaming system with presets for eight drinks.
Bosch 500 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine
Bosch’s no-fuss machine features an intuitive touchscreen panel with automated settings for crafting nine different drinks. It has an integrated milk frother, gives you the option to grind your own beans or use pre-ground, and can dispense two drinks at the same time.
