Espresso yourself — I’ve found the 7 best coffee machine deals brewing this Afterpay Day

In the world of coffee machines, three constants remain: death, taxes, and the quest for the best deals. During sales events like Afterpay Day, a plethora of discounts are available, though not all are as enticing as others. The models I have chosen below cater to various budgets and preferences, ensuring there is an option for everyone. These machines, whether automatic, manual, or capsule, deliver a rich espresso experience, making them ideal for both beginners and seasoned coffee enthusiasts.

The Breville Barista Pro is currently the best offer available at AU$430. This compact machine ensures a well-extracted shot of espresso and is a great choice for newcomers. Purchasing ground coffee or using a quality grinder for beans is recommended. Don't forget to utilize the exclusive 10% Breville coupon code for additional savings.

The Ninja Luxe Cafe, a staple in coffee machine deal roundups, excels in brewing an array of coffee-based beverages. Its user-friendly interface, aided by advanced technologies, automatically determines grind size and froths milk. The current deal applies exclusively to the Cyberspace color, which is the reviewer's second favorite after Oat Milk.

For those who prefer a more hands-on approach, the compact and efficient machine offers a superb espresso with a manual steam wand for silky, well-textured milk. Despite its limited preset drinks menu, its iced coffee remains commendable, particularly for its space-saving design and daily deliciousness.

The Philips Baristina stands out as the best entry-level bean-to-cup coffee maker. This machine simplifies the entire process by handling grinding, tamping, and pouring, making it incredibly user-friendly. Although it lacks milk frothing capabilities, a compatible milk frother is available for purchase separately.
