Black Friday 2026 falls on Friday, November 27, with Cyber Monday on Monday, November 30, and in coffee gear the sales now start a full two weeks earlier: in 2025 Amazon's De'Longhi discounts were live by November 12 and Breville's Barista range was at its low by the day itself. This page is our standing guide to that window. It is built to be useful today — before a single deal is live — by answering the question that actually matters in September and October: should I buy this now, or wait for November? We answer it the only honest way we can, with what these brands actually did in previous years, cited from the retailers and publications that recorded it.
Live deals
No deals are live yet. When Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers go live in November, we will post them on this page — verified against the product's real recent price, not the inflated “list” price — and update the date at the top. Until then, nothing on this page is a current discount: the figures below are last year's, and the buttons show today's live price.
A word on how we work, because deal pages are where honesty goes to die. We do not predict discounts and we do not invent percentages. Where we say a product went on sale, we name the year, the price and the source. Where we found no reliable history, we say “data unavailable” rather than guess. The prices on the buttons come from Amazon through our normal price data layer, are refreshed daily, and vanish rather than go stale. And every product below is one we already recommend in its own roundup — a deal on a bad product is not a deal.
What historically goes on sale, and what rarely does
The pattern in coffee gear is unusually clear once you look at a few years of it. The big mainstream brands discount deeply and predictably. The specialty and prosumer brands mostly hold their prices and offer bundles instead. Here is the record, brand by brand.
Reliably discounts: Breville's Barista range
The most dependable Black Friday discount in home espresso. On Black Friday 2025 the Barista Express sold for $550 against a $750 regular price, the Barista Pro for $680 against $850, the Barista Touch for $800 against $1,000, and the Barista Touch Impress for $999.95 against $1,500. Press releases from 2021 and 2022 record Barista Express discounts of up to 25 and 29 percent in those years too. The Bambino Plus has repeatedly appeared at $399.95 against $499.95 through 2025, not only in November. For the base Bambino, we found no reliable Black Friday history: data unavailable.
Reliably discounts, and deeply: De'Longhi
De'Longhi runs the broadest sale in the category, and it starts early. In Amazon's early Black Friday sale on November 12, 2025, the Magnifica Evo was $549.95 against $899.95, the Magnifica Start $499.95 against $799.95 (and a simpler variant $399.95 against $599.95), the La Specialista Arte Evo $449.95 against $676.29, the Stilosa$99.95 against $149.95, and the Dedica Duo $199.95 against $299.95. That is roughly a third off across the line. If you want a De'Longhi and can wait, wait.
Discounts, moderately: Baratza, Fellow, AeroPress, Timemore
- Baratza. The Encore ESP was 20 percent off at $159 for Black Friday 2025, and the standard Encore appeared at $119.95 through a roaster's Black Friday promotion the same year. Modest, real, and often through retailers rather than Baratza directly.
- Fellow. Fellow ran a sitewide 20 percent Black Friday sale in 2023 (the Ode Gen 2 at $276, the Stagg EKG Pro at $204) and discounted again in 2025, with the Ode Gen 2 at 17 percent off and the Stagg EKG at $159.96 against $199.95. Consistent, in the 15 to 20 percent range.
- AeroPress. An official Black Friday sale of up to 25 percent in 2025: the Original at $29.97 against $39.95, the Clear at $37.47 against $49.95, and 10 percent off the Premium. Reliable, though the dollar saving is small.
- Timemore. Advertised up to 50 percent off select gear through its own store for Black Friday 2025. Deep, but “select gear” — check whether the C3 ESP or the Black Mirror scale is actually included when it goes live.
- 1Zpresso. Rarely in sales as a rule, but all models were discounted for Black Friday 2025 according to one deals tracker we consulted; we found no reliable figures. Treat a 1Zpresso sale as a bonus, not a plan.
Modest holiday cuts: Gaggia
The Gaggia Classic moves less than the mainstream brands. Whole Latte Love ran a Gaggia promotion from November 14, 2025 through January 5, 2026, with the Classic Pro E24 at $399 in stainless and $499 in colors — a community post at the time noted that beat Amazon's own sale price by about $50. Expect tens of dollars, not hundreds, and expect the best price at specialty retailers rather than Amazon.
Rarely discounts: Rancilio, Jura and the prosumer tier
The Rancilio Silvia is listed at Whole Latte Love with an identical “regular” and “sale” price, and the Silvia Pro X appeared on a specialty retailer's Black Friday 2023 page at $2,195 — the same price it carries on Amazon today. Rancilio holds price; retailers add free accessories or bundles instead. Jura is the same story: retailers advertise “free gift” packages around Black Friday rather than price cuts, and the deals trackers we read describe Jura machines as rarely seen in sales. For Comandante, the one Black Friday listing we found was at or above its usual street price. If you want a Silvia, a Jura or a Comandante, buy it when you need it and look for a bundle, not a markdown.
Data unavailable
We found no reliable Black Friday history for Eureka grinders, the DF64 and DF54, or the cheap third-party accessory brands (WDT tools, puck screens, dosing cups, basic scales) that churn through Amazon promotions year-round. For the accessories, the practical advice is that the savings are dollars, not tens of dollars: buy them when you need them.
Beans: the roasters go on sale too
Specialty roasters discounted heavily in 2025 — Stumptown 20 percent sitewide, Onyx 15 percent, La Barba 30 percent, Klatch on a tiered scale up to 25 percent. Coffee is a fresh product, so stock up for a month, not six. Our best beans for espresso roundup is the shortlist.
Our current top picks, with live prices
The picks below are the products we already recommend that also have the most useful sale history, so you can decide whether to buy now or wait. The button on each card is today's live Amazon price with the date it was checked — the number to compare any November “deal” against.
Buy now or wait for November? By product class
The honest answer depends on the kind of gear, because the sale history is so different from one class to the next. This is the guidance we would give a friend in September.
- Breville Barista-series machines (Express, Pro, Touch, Impress) — wait. Discounts of $150 to $500 are documented for Black Friday 2025 and cuts of 25 to 29 percent for 2021 and 2022. This is the most reliable wait in the category. Our best Breville machines roundup ranks the line.
- De'Longhi bean-to-cups and entry machines — wait, and start looking mid-November. A third off across the Magnifica, La Specialista, Stilosa and Dedica lines was live by November 12, 2025. Our best De'Longhi machines roundup covers the range.
- Breville Bambino Plus — buy when it is a hundred off, whenever that is. The discount recurred through 2025 outside November. Base Bambino: data unavailable, so buy it when you need it.
- Rancilio, Jura, Comandante and the prosumer tier — buy when you need it. They hold price. Look for a free-accessory bundle rather than a markdown. Our best prosumer machines roundup is the field.
- Gaggia Classic — mild wait, and shop specialty retailers. Tens of dollars, over a window that in 2025 ran from mid-November to early January.
- Baratza grinders — buy when you need one. Twenty percent is real but modest; a good grinder today beats a slightly cheaper one after two months of bad coffee. If you are buying a machine in the window anyway, pair them.
- Fellow (Ode, Stagg) — wait if you are within a month. Fifteen to twenty percent has recurred in 2023 and 2025 on the brand's own store.
- Hand grinders — Timemore wait, 1Zpresso buy. Timemore ran a deep “select gear” sale in 2025; 1Zpresso is on sale rarely enough that waiting for one is a gamble.
- AeroPress — either. A reliable 25 percent, but on a small number. Wait only if you are stocking up on gifts.
- Accessories (WDT, scales, pitchers, baskets) — buy when you need them. The savings are dollars, and we have no reliable history to promise otherwise.
- Beans — wait to stock up, but only a month's worth. Roasters discounted 15 to 30 percent in 2025. Coffee goes stale; a deal on six months of beans is a deal on five months of bad coffee.
How to tell a real deal from a fake one
The oldest trick in November is the inflated “was” price: a product that has sold at $550 all autumn is suddenly “$750, now $550.” Three checks defeat it. First, compare the deal against the product's recent price, not its list price — the button on every card on this site shows the live Amazon price with the date it was checked, so you have a dated reference point that was true before the sale began. Second, compare against last year's sale price, which is what the history above is for: if the Barista Express is not near $550, it is not yet a Black Friday deal. Third, check the seller. Amazon's own listing and the manufacturer's store are the ones with real warranties; a third-party seller undercutting both by a lot is usually a gray-market or refurbished unit. When we post live deals here, every one will have passed all three.
The holiday gift guides
If you are shopping for someone else, the deals are only half the question — the other half is what to buy them. We wrote a gift guide for every recipient and budget, each built from the products we already recommend:
When this page changes
We update this page in three stages. Now, in September and October, it is the history and the buy-or-wait guidance above. From mid-November, as the early sales open, we post live deals in the box at the top — verified against recent price, last year's sale, and seller — and refresh the date beneath the title. Through Black Friday weekend and Cyber Monday we keep that list current, and after December 1 we mark what has ended. The historical record stays on the page all year, because next September you will be asking the same question we answered here.
