Amazon’s Prime Day has finally arrived and that means deals on just about everything. It’s a deluge of deals, a veritable apocalypse of deals, and it can be really overwhelming to try and sort through them all, so we’ve done that for you. Here are the best deals on coffee gear, espresso machines, coffee subscriptions, and more.
The WIRED Gear team tests products year-round. We sorted through hundreds of thousands of deals by hand to make these picks. Crossed out products are out of stock or no longer discounted.

Coffee Machines
The Breville Barista Express is one of our top picks for high-end espresso machines that include a built-in grinder. It’s spendy, but it does everything. It includes a burr grinder for the fine consistent grind you need for great espresso, and pairs that with the famous Breville build quality. This machine is built like a tank. The exterior is stainless steel, the knobs and buttons all feel solid and durable. It’s like the Cuisinart Stand Mixer of espresso machines: expensive but built to last.
Sometimes you just need a plain old automatic coffee maker, and one of our favorites is the Hamilton Beach 2-Way. It’s a standard drip coffee machine, but also includes a secondary spout for brewing a single cup of coffee (and it even fits most travel mugs, so you can set your mug there the night before work). It’s well made for its price point, and brews good coffee. No bells or whistles here.
Cuisinart’s Programmable Coffee Maker is another good option if you’re looking for a solid everyday driver for brewing a standard cup of coffee. The automatic functions work great, making it super easy to get set up the night before. One of my favorite things about drip coffee makers like this one is the way it fills your house with the smell of fresh brewed coffee. The automatic timer means you’ll get to wake up to that smell every morning.
While not technically an espresso machine since it doesn’t produce up to 15 bars of pressure during brewing, Bialetti’s Moka pots brew a potent cup of coffee comparable to espresso. Since it’s a stovetop percolator, it doesn’t need power to function, making it a good pick for camping.
Accessories

Chances are you’ve seen these kettles sitting on the countertop at your favorite cafe. Fellow’s Stagg EKG electric kettle has a long narrow gooseneck for precise control when you’re brewing pour-over coffee, but it’s also a great everyday electric kettle and looks great on just about any countertop.
It’s easy to think you’ll never need a handheld milk frother, but let me tell you, it’s a great kitchen utensil to have on hand. Not only can it quickly whip everyday milk into a creamy froth, it’s also great for whipping cream, mixing cocktails, and more.
Following in the footsteps of its namesake, the Instant Pot Milk Frother is actually a multifunction device that can heat, steam, froth, or whip your milk to just about any consistency you can imagine. It’s also a cute little countertop appliance and tucks in nicely beside any coffee machine.
For Cold Brew

This is one of our favorite cold brew makers. It can make up to 32-ounces of coffee at a time: All you have to do is pour coarse grounds into the little basket, pour some cold water over it, and stick the whole thing in the fridge for about 24 hours. Cold brew makers are lifesavers during heat waves, especially since you can stock up before the heat actually hits.
Some Great Beans

Atlas Coffee Club is on our best coffee subscriptions list, and for good reason. Not only does the subscription make it easy to keep your home well stocked on fresh-roast coffee beans, but depending on which options you choose during checkout you can get all kinds of different coffees shipped straight to your door. In our opinion, the best way to find the best coffee for you is to just try a bunch of different coffees. Atlas makes that super easy and approachable.
