Is freshly ground coffee with hot steamed milk something you order at your local Costa and Starbucks? Look no further as Amazon's latest coffee machine price drop may finally convince you to swap expensive takeaways for an at-home barista maker.

Well, it helped me curve my fix, since getting my hands on the Breville Barista Max I've not stepped foot into a coffee house for my usual go-to; a cappuccino topped with cinnamon. The stylish stainless steel machine will grind, filter, and steam a cup of your favourite brew in minutes.

To make the coffee taste even better it's a machine that's top of Amazon's early 2023 Black Friday deals, one of many which have skyrocketed to the sale page this November 1. While it usually costs a whopping £449 it's currently £150 cheaper as latte, cappuccino and espresso lovers can pick it up for £299.

Even without the price drop, it's still a piece of home tech I'd urge anyone to consider adding to their Christmas wishlist or split with a family member this Black Friday, it's a hefty price to gulp but worth every penny if you already spend £4 a day on a 'to-go' cup, a cost which would amount to more than £1,400 a year.

It certainly stands out from other models on the market, not only down to its professional look, but its features too. From the built-in grinder, group handle to collect the freshly ground beans, single and double shot filters to the hot water steamer and attached milk frother, it has everything you could need.

As home and lifestyle brands are propelled to the top of retailer's sales this Black Friday it's not the only option around, I may be biased as it's something I use in my home every day, but there's more. As the early Black Friday sales hit I've rounded up some top spotted machines.

My top coffee machine picks this Black Friday

As much as I love the Breville Barista Max it's on the pricier side, even with the £150 discount. Having a scroll around some of the early Black Friday price drops it's not hard to find more deals for eager shoppers. From another bean-to-cup option to pod capsule makers, as a self-proclaimed barista (mega coffee lover) here's what I'd recommend.

Sage the Oracle - £400 off at Amazon

One if you really wanted to splash the cash as the Prime retailer reduced the price from £1,799 to £1,398. Similar to the Breville Barista model this Sage machine screams coffee shop thanks to its stainless steel material. Like any other high-end bean-to-cup model it's fitted with an in-built grinder and tamper to create a smooth-tasting blend.

Delonghi Magnifica - £159 off at Currys

Like the Breville and Sage options above this Delonghi model will also allow you to grind coffee beans at home, no matter your preferred taste. Whether it's Peruvian, Ethiopian, Columbian, or a local London blend, the flexibility of flavours is what influences many to go for the non-capsule options.

Nespresso Vertuo Pop - £41 off at Amazon

An option for those with less time to make a bew in the morning, pod capsule machines are perfect for quick and easy coffee making. And the Nespresso Vertuo range is one of the top on the market. Unlike other machines the Vertuo can make a whole range of different coffee in one click of the button you could have an espresso, full mug, alto or a 150ml gran lugo mug.
