Best deals
Amazon Prime Day (July) and Black Friday (November) typically see 25-40% discounts on coffee machines. Major brands like Ninja, Cosori, and Instant Pot participate in both events.
New model releases
Brands typically release new coffee machines in Q1 (Jan-March) and ahead of holiday season (September). Previous-generation models drop in price when new ones launch.
Avoid full price
April-June and August are typically full-price months for coffee machines. If you need one during these months, check manufacturer refurbished options for 20-30% savings.
R3 tip
Price drops do not change our safety scores. A discounted coffee machine with a low safety score is still not recommended. Always check the R3 score before buying, regardless of the deal.
