This is the lowest price ever on a super-automatic espresso machine we love, with a push-button frother and touchscreen featuring 18 espresso, latte, and iced-coffee drink options. WIRED Reviewer Matthew Korfhage also appreciated the grinder that lets you easily swap beans.
Ninja
Luxe Cafe Premier Series Espresso Machine
We gave this semiautomatic staple a 7/10 for its beginner-friendliness and excellent milk frother that can help even newbies make quality cappuccinos and lattes.
Breville
Bambino
This little machine punches above its price class with a thermoblock for immediate heating and a PID (proportional, integral, derivative) temperature controller for consistent brew temperatures.

Keurig
K-Café Smart Single Serve Coffee Maker
Though Keurig’s latest flagship machine ditched the controversial K-Cups, these plastic pods are still a beloved convenience for many, and for them, we recommend the K-Café. It comes with a milk frother for fancier drinks, as well as BrewID, which can identify your pod and suggest custom brew settings. WIRED reviewer Louryn Strampe also appreciated that it was easy to clean.
Nespresso
Vertuo Pop+ Brewer and Aeroccino 3 Frother Bundle
Reviewer Louryn Strampe’s favorite pod machine for espresso, this deal includes a milk frother for the full coffee shop experience.
Keurig
K-Brew + Chill Coffee Maker
Prefer iced coffee? There’s a pod machine for that. We compared hot and cold coffees on this machine using the same K-Cups, and they came out equally strong.

This is the least expensive grinder WIRED reviewer Matthew Korfhage recommends to make good coffee—it’s got 30 settings for everything from espresso to French press. This price is for the silver metal version shown, but the blue plastic version is even cheaper at $88.

Kingrinder
K6 Manual Coffee Grinder
If you want precision grounds for less, you’re going to have to do the work yourself, but this hand grinder had better consistency of grind than any flat burr we tested under $1,000.

Zulay
Kitchen Milk Frother Wand
Yes, there are fancier milk frothers on the market (like the Subminimal Nano Foamer, which is also on sale, for $40), but WIRED reviewer Boutayna Chokrane and I both own this Zulay frother and can’t say enough good things about it. Mine has been through all manner of abuse, from espresso drinks and protein shakes to falling in the sink and being mostly submerged in a too-tall glass, and after a year and a half of near-daily use it’s still going strong.
