Espresso Machine Sales and Deals: The Best Discounts Right Now (June 2025)

This Stilosa from De'Longhi is a budget-friendly, compact option that we found easy to fit on crowded counters, but its 5.5/10 score reflects real limitations for frequent users. During our review the machine's manual operation required patience to master and lacked advanced features that higher-end models include, and some testers found it could be messy to use when frothing milk by hand. If you're after an inexpensive starter machine for occasional espresso, it's a practical choice; just be prepared for more hands-on maintenance and inconsistent results compared with pricier models.

During our review this De'Longhi Espresso and Cappuccino Machine impressed with consistently strong espresso shots and a creamy manual frother that made latte art achievable, earning it a respectable 6.5/10 for value. We found the compact size ideal for countertops, but our experience shows noise during brewing can be loud and a few users reported durability issues over time, so long-term reliability is a concern. If you want solid espresso and a dependable frother in a small footprint, this machine performs well — just keep in mind the potential for noise and maintenance.

On a tight budget the Imusa 4 Cup Espresso Maker ($41.99) is attractive for small kitchens because it’s very compact and brews up to four cups with a manual steam wand for basic cappuccinos and lattes. During our review we found it’s approachable for occasional use, but the machine’s slower heat-up, lack of a built-in grinder and reported mislabeling issues limit its appeal for regular espresso drinkers. If you travel light or need a cheap backup, it does the basics, but don’t expect speed or advanced features.

Small kitchens will love the Breville Bambino Plus — at $200 it's one of our top-rated picks and in our testing it earned a perfect 10/10 for value and performance. We found the ThermoJet fast heat-up and automatic milk frother with adjustable settings produce café-quality crema and reliable microfoam almost every time. During our review the unit’s compact footprint was a real plus, though the portafilter can be stubborn to lock and the small drip tray fills quickly. If space and speed matter, it’s hard to beat.

On a tight budget the CM5418™ at $169.99 is a solid compact pick — in our testing it scored 7/10 for delivering decent espresso without the premium price. We found it fits easily under cabinets and produces flavorful shots that punch above its cost, but our experience shows trade-offs: the included plastic tamper feels flimsy, the steam wand runs louder than competitors, and the small water reservoir means more frequent refills. If you want a capable starter machine for small spaces, it’s an economical choice.

The De'Longhi Magnifica S earned a respectable 7.5/10 in our testing by grinding fresh beans for each cup and delivering robust flavor consistency thanks to its built-in grinder. We found the automatic cleaning features helpful for maintenance, but the steam wand can be messy — it sometimes spits water onto the counter during warm-up — and the symbol-based analog control panel confused a few testers at first. During our review this machine shined for anyone who values fresh grinding and easy upkeep, but plan for a short learning curve with the controls and wand handling.

We found the Philips 3200 Series to be a user-friendly, consistent performer and it scored an 8/10 in our review — the touchscreen and built-in ceramic grinder with 12 settings make customization straightforward. The LatteGo milk system impressed us with easy cleaning and minimal parts, which is a practical benefit for daily use, but during our testing the milk texture was less velvety than barista-level systems and the machine runs noticeably loud while grinding and brewing. If you prioritize intuitive controls and low-maintenance milk cleaning, this one is an excellent mid-range pick, though expect slightly thinner foam and a bit of operational noise.

We found the Philips 2200 with LatteGo to be one of our most user-friendly picks, earning an 8.5/10 thanks to its intuitive touch display and the creamy LatteGo milk system that cleans up in seconds. During our testing the built-in grinder and AquaClean filter made maintenance and flavor consistency straightforward, although the water reservoir is on the smaller side and the machine can be a bit noisy. Our experience shows this is a great everyday automatic for folks who want easy maintenance and reliable milk drinks without complicated customization.

If you want convenience without sacrificing too much control, the De'Longhi Magnifica Start (7.5/10) is a solid midrange pick at $649.95 that we found balances one-touch drinks with a surprisingly capable built-in conical burr grinder (13 settings) and an automatic milk frother you can stash in the fridge. In our testing the touchscreen makes recipes accessible but has a small learning curve and requires extra taps for stronger shots, and the unit gets noticeably loud when grinding. The compact self-cleaning system helps upkeep, though the water reservoir runs small for households that brew a lot.

The Magnifica Start Espresso Machine at $449.95 (7/10) gives you a lot of convenience for the price with a built-in grinder and automatic milk frother that we found made everyday drinks simple and consistent. In our testing the grinder can be annoyingly loud—about 78 dB—so it’s not ideal for early mornings in quiet homes, and the lack of a milk jug in the box means an extra purchase if you want clean milk steaming. Overall, our experience shows it’s a strong value if you prioritize fresh grinding and low-maintenance operation.

Priced at $449.95 the De'Longhi Magnifica Start scored a respectable 7.5/10 in our testing for giving reliable, fast espresso without a steep learning curve. We found the built-in grinder with 13 settings and quick heat-up make it easy to dial in shots, and removable dishwasher-safe parts simplify maintenance. During our review the machine’s noise during grinding stood out and the water reservoir is on the small side, while some plastic trim feels less premium. It's a good midrange pick if convenience and fresh grinding matter most.

At under $100 the De'Longhi Stilosa is an attractive entry-level pick that we found fits tight countertops and covers the basics: espresso, cappuccino and lattes. In our testing it was reliable for simple shots, but the manual frother and analog controls mean you'll spend time learning technique, and we noticed inconsistencies in temperature and brew strength that affect espresso quality. During our review the Stilosa's compact size and low price make it a practical starter machine, but buyers seeking steady cafe-style results should expect a bit of a learning curve and some trial-and-error.

The Breville Barista Express scored a solid 7/10 in our review for its built-in conical burr grinder with 16 settings, which we found excellent for dialing in fresh, customized grinds. Our experience shows the machine can deliver café-style shots, but the steam wand heats slowly — taking up to a minute to reach serving temperature — and the grinder sometimes produced clumpy grounds that needed extra distribution tools. During testing you get a high degree of control over extraction, yet expect a bit more hands-on work to manage grinding and steaming quirks.

The Bambino Plus earned a standout 9.5/10 in our testing for delivering café-quality espresso in a compact footprint, and we appreciated the ThermoJet fast heat-up that gets you brewing quickly. Our experience shows the automatic milk frothing with adjustable settings produces consistent microfoam for lattes and cappuccinos, which is great for small kitchens, but note there's no built-in grinder so you'll need pre-ground or a separate grinder. During our review the portafilter could be stubborn to lock and the drip tray filled faster than expected, yet its speed and reliable milk system make it our top pick for small-space performance.

The Barista Express Impress ($799.95, 7.5/10) combines a built-in conical burr grinder, assisted tamping and a backlit LCD that in our testing made dialing in shots straightforward and repeatable. We found the machine delivers fresh-grind flavor consistently, but the steam wand is slower—taking nearly a minute to heat milk—and the single-boiler Thermocoil setup forces you to wait between brewing and steaming. During our review it proved a dependable semi-automatic for people who want fresh grinding without stepping up to a commercial two-boiler build.

During our review the Breville BES840XL ($599.95, 7/10) stood out for its pre-infusion and PID temperature control, which we found improve shot consistency and extraction quality in a compact footprint. It’s a solid choice if you want hands-on control without taking up too much counter space, but the single boiler means you can’t brew and steam simultaneously, and some plastic components on the drip tray feel less premium. Also factor in the added cost of a separate grinder since one isn’t included.

At $699.95 the De'Longhi La Specialista Opera feels like a semi-pro home machine, and in our testing it scored 8/10 for its feature set. We found the built-in grinder with 15 settings and Smart Tamping Technology deliver consistent grind and dose, and Cold Extraction makes quick cold-brew-style shots. During our review the grinder compartment’s nonremovable design makes cleaning fiddly, and the steam wand can overheat milk. If you want integrated grinding with repeatable results, it’s worth the counter footprint.

For serious home baristas the Barista Pro (9/10) is a standout—our experience shows its ThermoJet heating system gets you brewing in three seconds and the integrated conical burr grinder provides extensive grind control for dialed-in shots. The manual steam wand lets you sculpt microfoam for latte art, which helped this model earn its high rating in our testing, but it’s a sizeable investment at $1,699.95 and has a learning curve that newcomers should expect. If counter space and budget allow, it rewards hands-on brewing.

If you want speed with user-friendly controls, the Barista Touch Impress ($1,699.95, 8/10) blends a fast warm-up and a clear touchscreen that we found makes crafting custom drinks easy for beginners. In our testing the built-in grinder and quick heat-up were real time-savers, though some users reported durability issues after several months and the unit’s size and price make it a significant countertop commitment. During our review it shined for intuitive, reliable daily use—just be mindful of potential long-term support concerns.

De'Longhi’s Rivelia ($1,199.95, 6.5/10) is built around speed and simplicity: in our testing it starts in under a minute, runs quietly, and the large removable water tank and easy bean swaps make daily use frictionless. During our review we also noticed it doesn’t quite deliver the nuanced, café-style espresso that manual techniques and higher-end grinders produce, and it can be a bit spattery when frothing—something to watch if you care about clean steam performance. It’s a great pick for fast, easy drinks but not for espresso purists.

At $1,995 the TK-02 aims for customization but in our testing it landed a 6/10 because the promise of unique espresso profiles comes with practical headaches. We found the touchscreen interface and built-in grinder let you tailor shots precisely, and the automatic milk system adds convenience, but during our review the milk tubing proved hard to clean and the machine’s startup time — about five minutes — felt slow compared with competitors. Our experience shows it’s powerful for tinkerers who accept higher maintenance and price.

If you need a machine that tucks into a small kitchen, the Dedica Duo delivers with a slim footprint and a clear digital interface; in our testing it was easy to stash under cabinets and brew basic espresso, Americano and even cold brew-style shots. We found the manual milk frother is the machine's main shortcoming — the steam wand lacks the power for silky microfoam, so lattes require extra effort. During our review the lack of a grinder and no self-cleaning meant more hands-on maintenance, and at a 6.5/10 score it's a solid space-saving option if frothing finesse isn't your priority.

The IMUSA Espresso/Cappuccino Maker is a very budget-friendly option that we found approachable for beginners and tight spaces, but its 5/10 score reflects trade-offs in durability and capacity. In our testing the compact design and simple analog interface made it easy to operate, yet components showed signs of wear with heavier use and the four-cup limit quickly proved too small for larger households. During our review the manual frother demanded technique to get decent foam, so it's best suited for occasional use or travelers who need an inexpensive, portable espresso setup.

We found the Espresso Machine with Grinder at Target ($260, 7/10) to be a great value for versatile home brewing: the 30-step grinder, 20-bar pump and a 360° rotatable steam wand let you customize grind and milk texture for rich shots and latte art. During our review its bulkier footprint and modest 8-ounce bean hopper mean more counter space and frequent refills for heavy users, and the lack of a self-cleaning system requires hands-on maintenance. For the price you get solid performance if you don’t mind the upkeep.

The Ninja Espresso & Coffee Barista System ($279.99, 7/10) is a versatile kitchen workhorse that we found handles both espresso-style shots and drip-style coffee with approachable controls and an included frother for lattes and cappuccinos. During our review it impressed for everyday flexibility and easy cleaning, though it lacks a built-in grinder and advanced customizations like temperature control or pre-infusion; a few users also reported minor water leakage after brewing. If you want a multi-use machine without premium bells and whistles, it’s a smart midrange choice.

The De'Longhi Dedica Arte ($199.95) is a visually appealing compact machine that in our testing earned a 6.5/10 — it saves precious counter space but demands practice to get the best results. We found the slim footprint and simple analog controls make it easy to stash and use, yet our experience shows the steam wand requires technique to produce consistent microfoam and the portafilter locking mechanism can be stiff. If you want an attractive space-saver and don’t mind a learning curve for frothing, it’s worth considering.
