OXO Conical Burr Coffee Grinder

Normally $100, Now $80

This grinder nabbed our pick for “Best Grinder For Everyday Coffee Drinkers” due to its great value. It offers solid grind consistency and is easy to use, making it an excellent pick for people who only brew with an automatic coffee maker or are upgrading to a burr grinder for the first time.

Normally $200, Now $160

The 8-cup model from OXO has unique features that make it a standout, like a drip tray and a smaller filter basket insert.

Breville Bambino Plus

Normally $500, Now $400

It's impressive how much Breville was able to fit into this small machine. Even with its minimal footprint, the Bambino Plus includes an automated steam wand and programmable settings. It's an accessible machine for anyone looking to try home espresso. And as we said in our review, "it’s almost more difficult to make a bad espresso drink with this machine than it is to make a good one." The brushed stainless steel option is the discounted offering, with $100 off.

Espro French Press Everyday P3

Normally $65, Now $40

We really liked how silky and smooth the coffee from this French press during our testing. The dual-wall mesh filter strained out more grit than any other model. This allows the user to experiment with finer grinds, dialing in the perfect brew without worrying about extra silt.

Stagg EKG Kettle

Normally $195, Now $146 at Fellow

If its comfortable weighted handle and angled pouring spout weren't enough, the Stagg EKG truly delivers on temperature precision. It was our top pick for electric gooseneck kettle and the temperature can be set down to the degree. We love it for pourover coffee, and its variable temperature makes it an ideal choice for loose leaf tea as well.

We were impressed by the quality of the espresso shots from this machine during our testing of 13 models. It’s quick to heat, has consistent pressure, and features a commercial 58-millimeter portafilter which makes it easy to swap in professional parts. With a just a few tips and tricks the Gaggia Classic Pro took our top pick for espresso enthusiasts.

Normally $110, Now $80

More compact than our top pick, this handheld coffee grinder is a great, low-cost option for travelers who want to brew on the road without sacrificing coffee quality. Its textured body was easy to hold while grinding, and it delivered a precision grind that nearly matched our favorite electronic grinder.

Serious Eats / Ashley Rodriguez

Spinn Coffee Maker

Normally $980, Now $880 at Amazon

We tested this all-in-one coffee maker for an upcoming review, and were impressed by its fully automated grinding and brewing. While the coffee quality was slightly lower than what would expect from a standard espresso machine or drip brewer, the Spinn can also produce a variety of iced coffee styles that exceeded our expectations. Every coffee brews in under 60 seconds using its unique centrifuge brewing chamber, which completely reimagines how coffee is normally brewed. It's a great alternative to capsule style machines, or for people who want one-touch brewing.

Serious Eats / Jesse Raub

OXO Brew Precision Coffee Scale

Normally $56, Now $49

We recommend everyone use a scale when brewing coffee (for weighing beans, pourovers, and more). This coffee scale is our budget-friendly recommendation and we found it to be the most intuitive to use of the eight models we tested.

Zojirushi Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Mug

Normally $40, Now $26

Normally $55, Now $33

The Coffee Gator French press had excellent thermal stability, which made it a budget pick for in our French press and cold brew maker reviews.
