Secure the best coffee machine Black Friday deals in 2024

What coffee machine deals to expect on Black Friday 2024

Each year, Black Friday brings a host of discounts on popular coffee machine models, with reductions across a range of options. In the UK, retailers like Amazon, John Lewis, Currys, and Argos offer deals that can range from 20% off on newer machines, to as much as 50% on older models. These markdowns typically apply to models from top brands, including De'Longhi, Sage, Nespresso, and Breville, with prices varying depending on the machine's features and popularity.

Categories of deals

Expect coffee machine Black Friday discounts to differ based on the machine type. Bean-to-cup machines, often favoured by coffee enthusiasts for their fresh coffee-making capabilities, usually carry higher price tags and hence see some of the most appealing discounts. Pod machines like those from Nespresso or Dolce Gusto also tend to see seasonal markdowns, while budget-friendly filter coffee machines may have modest reductions. Black Friday can also bring competitive deals on coffee grinders and accessories, so if you’re looking to fully equip your coffee station, it’s a good time to bundle.

While Back Market’s prices are competitive year-round, Black Friday can sometimes bring limited-time discounts that align with these, depending on stock and availability.

Is Black Friday the best time to buy coffee machines?

The prospect of coffee machine Black Friday savings is tempting, but it’s worth examining price patterns throughout the year to decide if it’s truly the best time to buy a coffee machine. Sites like PriceSpy and CamelCamelCamel reveal that coffee machines are discounted not just in November but also during post-Christmas sales, and sometimes in spring when retailers clear out older models to make room for new releases.

For example, bean-to-cup machines and higher-end models like the Sage Barista Express often see markdowns during Black Friday and then again in January, making it beneficial to wait if you're not in immediate need. Similarly, Nespresso models tend to dip in price in spring as retailers clear stock for newer versions. If Black Friday is past, you might see comparable deals around Boxing Day or in summer.

While Back Market’s prices are frequently as low as, or lower than, many Black Friday deals, the added advantage of shopping for refurbished machines is that you’re able to purchase high-quality models at a fraction of the cost at any time. On Back Market, these machines are priced up to 50% lower than new, offering reliable savings with a consistent approach to affordability.

Is Black Friday the right time to buy?

Coffee machine Black Friday shopping is undoubtedly a peak event, but it’s worth considering your specific needs before joining the rush. One advantage of shopping on Back Market is the stress-free experience that comes with buying refurbished products at a reliable discount all year. During Black Friday, shoppers often experience the frenzied rush of limited-time discounts, leading to hurried decisions and the constant pressure of comparing prices. Back Market’s year-round prices offer an alternative where you don’t have to worry about missing out on a deal.

Another consideration is whether you need the machine immediately. If your current machine is broken or no longer meets your needs, then buying sooner may make more sense than waiting. A refurbished machine can bridge the gap between high quality and affordability, especially if you’re weighing sustainability in your decision. Purchasing a refurbished device supports a circular economy by giving tech products a second life, reducing e-waste, and lowering costs.

What are the differences between coffee machines?

To make your purchase decision easier, we would first like to briefly introduce you to the most important machine types. This will help you make the right decision for you:

• The filter coffee machine is the classic office machine in which a disposable filter and coffee powder are inserted at the top and black coffee usually runs into a pot at the bottom.

• With the espresso machine or portafilter machine, the coffee powder is screwed onto the machine with a sieve. Hot water is then pressed through the sieve and the coffee powder

• With capsule machines, plastic capsules with different flavours are inserted into the machine. They usually work automatically. The best-known brand here is Nespresso. For all those for whom sustainability is important: there are also reusable capsules that can be used several times.

• With a fully automatic coffee machine, whole coffee beans are placed in the machine and ground by the machine. These large machines can be used to produce a range of different coffee drinks.

We have summarised the advantages and disadvantages of the different machine types for you here:

What is the difference between a used and a refurbished coffee machine?

Refurbished means that the used coffee machine has been checked, professionally cleaned and, if necessary, repaired by a refurbisher before being sold.

As a rule of thumb, you can say that you pay the most for new appliances, less for refurbished products and offers from private individuals usually cost the least.

So is it worth finding a private supplier to get the best deal on a coffee machine?

Buying through a private dealer can be worthwhile in terms of price, but you often have to search longer and write to different sellers. There is also a higher risk, as the machine has probably not been checked beforehand and, in the worst case, the seller may not respond to problems.

Our refurbished coffee machines have been put through their paces before being sold. In addition to the statutory 12-month guarantee, you also receive 30-days to change your mind, hassle free! Buying from Back Market means playing it safe!

The Bottom Line on Coffee Machine Black Friday Deals

Black Friday coffee machine shopping can come with some excellent deals, but it’s not the only time to buy. Be cautious when approaching Black Friday discounts, as some retailers artificially inflate prices prior to November, making discounts seem more attractive than they are. Observing price trends throughout the year and purchasing only when necessary can lead to more informed decisions.

Back Market’s value is not just in the discounts but in the quality of refurbished products that help you save money and reduce environmental impact. Every purchase on Back Market comes with a 30-day return policy, a one-year warranty, and potential savings of up to 50% compared to the cost of buying new. Whether you’re looking to replace a machine or start with your first coffee maker, Back Market provides a thoughtful alternative that values affordability and sustainability alike.

A little tip: If you buy a Starbucks coffee for £3 every day, you'll spend £1,095 a year. You could already afford the luxury fully automatic coffee machine like the Sage Barista Express, and spend the rest of the money on a year's supply of coffee! 🙃
