I test coffee makers for a living and 3 of my favourite espresso machines are going cheap for Black Friday

Looking for a new coffee machine this Black Friday? I test them for a living, and several of my all-time favourites are deeply discounted at Amazon right now, including the Siemens EQ900 Plus, now £1,599 (was £2,199) and the Philips 5400 Series for £380 (was £619.99). These are record-low prices, and far cheaper than last year’s best Black Friday offers.

Black Friday isn’t until 28 November, but all the big online retailers are launching deals early – and these are some of the best I’ve seen anywhere. Personally I’m a particularly big fan of the EQ900 Plus, which I had the pleasure of testing back in February.

Its standout features include two hoppers so you can switch between beans whenever you want (with two grinders to avoid mixing them), an excellent milk system that makes thick, stable foam, and a super convenient cleaning program. Take a look at my full Siemens EQ900 Plus review for more details.

It’s extremely easy to clean too; the milk system is made from just two pieces of hard plastic that are both dishwasher-safe, so there’s no struggling to wash things by hand with tiny brushes. Take a look at my Philips LatteGo 5500 Series review for more info – the only difference between the two machines is that the 5500 Series has a few extra drinks in its menu.
