I’m a trained barista, and there’s £600 off one of my all-time favourite coffee makers for Black Friday

I’ve tested over a dozen coffee makers over the last year, and I was delighted to see that one of my favourites, the Siemens EQ900, is now just £899 at Mark’s Electrical (was £1,499) for Black Friday. That’s easily the best Black Friday deal I’ve seen this year.

It gets better, too. If you register as a Marks+ member for £19.99, you’ll get a further £45 off on top. Factoring in the subscription, that brings the total price of the EQ900 down to £873.99.

I tested the EQ900 Plus, which has an extra compartment on the side for a cleaning tablet, but is otherwise exactly the same machine as the one that’s on sale. It was an absolute joy to use, and produced the best latte macchiato I’ve ever had from a home coffee machine. My biggest issue was its price, but with this incredible Black Friday deal, that’s no longer an issue.

Today’s best Siemens EQ900 Black Friday deal

There’s an enormous £600 off this super-automatic coffee machine for Black Friday, and Marks+ members get a further £45 off on top. An annual membership costs £19.99, so it’ll more than pay for itself straight away. This model is almost identical to the EQ900 Plus I reviewed earlier this year, which makes incredible espresso and foams milk to perfection.View Deal

The Siemens EQ900 is a brilliant espresso machine regardless of your level of experience, offering two brewing modes: Comfort and Barista. In the machine’s Comfort mode you’ll only need to pick a drink from the menu, then make a few easy choices: aroma, strength, and cup size.

If you’re feeling more adventurous, Barista mode lets you fine-tune your drinks by tweaking grind size (which has the biggest impact on flavour), brewing temperature, pre-infusion time, and milk ratio.

The EQ900 is the only coffee maker I’ve tested this year that has two bean hoppers, which is a feature I absolutely love. I drink a lot of coffee, but I prefer to switch to decaf after lunch to avoid a restless night’s sleep. With the EQ900, you can switch between two different types of coffee on the fly. Each hopper has its own grinder to avoid cross-contamination – and it also means you can choose different grind sizes.

If you’re shopping for a premium coffee maker this Black Friday, you can’t go wrong with this one. Take a look at my full Siemens EQ900 Plus review for more details.

The LatteGo series are superb compact espresso machines, and this model has received a huge price cut of over £230 for Black Friday. Its milk frothing system is particularly good, producing creamy foam using plant or dairy milk, and without any awkward tubes or pipes to clean. A top choice for delicious coffee without the hassle.View Deal

This smart-looking automatic espresso machine is less than half price at AO.com right now, and one of the best deals I’ve seen in this year’s Black Friday sales. Just put your cup on the drip tray, select your drink (and tinker with the options if you like) and within two minutes you’ll have a perfect coffee. There’s an extra £22 off on top if you’re an AO.com member.View Deal

Amazon is still selling this premium espresso machine for full price, but AO.com has knocked off an impressive £150 for Black Friday. When we tested the Barista Express we found it incredibly easy to use, even for beginners, and particularly appreciated its automatic tamper, which helps you get the right pressure to make a perfect puck. AO.com members get a further £23 off on top.View Deal
