If you didn’t have time to shop Black Friday deals this past weekend, don’t worry — Cyber Monday is here. Our shopping editors have been tracking the best Cyber Monday kitchen deals for weeks, and some of our Kitchen Lab experts’ favorite coffee makers are currently on sale at some of the lowest prices we've seen. If you're looking to upgrade but can't decide between Nespresso and Keurig, we did the research to determine which brand is offering the best value deals right now.
SHOP MORE OF OUR FAVORITE CYBER MONDAY DEALS
To find the deals worth your money, I focused on top-performing machines from Nespresso and Keurig that were tested in the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances & Innovation Lab. I then compared savings and analyzed the price histories of each item on sale for Cyber Monday. In addition to my research, I consulted our Kitchen Lab experts to gather their insights and opinions.
The best Nespresso Cyber Monday deals
From now until the end of Cyber Monday, Nespresso is offering 30% off select machines with two free sleeves on its website. The deals include some of our top-performing coffee makers from Lab tests, including the Vertuo Plus, which our Kitchen experts rated the best overall Nespresso machine. "If you're someone who likes starting the day off with a large cup of coffee but craves espresso for an afternoon pick-me-up, the Vertuo Plus machine is for you," said Senior Reviews Writer & Analyst Olivia Lipski. It's also on sale on Amazon along with some other machines, but you won't get the free sleeves with your purchase.
You may also ant to consider stocking up on pods right now. Nespresso is offering three free sleeves with the purchase of at least 10 Vertuo Sleeves or Original Sleeves, but our Kitchen Appliances & Innovation Lab Director Nicole Papantoniou says this deal "feels gimmicky" since you have to purchase 10 sleeves to get the three free ones. Luckily, we also found a great deal on Nespresso sleeves on Amazon. Right now, you can take 28% off the Nespresso Capsules Original Line in flavors Arpeggio Intenso, Livanto, Roma Intenso, Ristretto Intenso and Palermo Kazaar.
The best Keurig Cyber Monday deals
From now until December 3, take up to 50% off Keurig's coffee machines on the brand's website with code COFFEEMONDAY. Some of our experts' favorite machines are on sale, including one of our top picks for the best dual coffee makers, the Keurig K-Duo Plus Single Serve & Carafe Coffee Maker, which is discounted by 35% on Amazon.
You can also save 22% on the Keurig K-Supreme Plus Smart Coffee Maker, which we rated one of the best single-serve coffee makers. There are more coffee makers on sale on Keurig's website, so you're sure to find an option that's a good fit. You can also take up to 54% off Keurig's coffee pods: Buy a pack of 24 Breakfast Blend pods for less than $8, which is over $9 in savings.
Nespresso vs. Keurig: Which Cyber Monday deals should you shop?
The short answer: Nespresso deals are rarer, but you'll save more money overall with a budget-friendly Keurig.
“Nespresso rarely offers sales,” says Papantoniou, making this Cyber Monday deal a must-grab for espresso fans. She also points out that discounts on Nespresso sleeves are highly unusual, presenting a rare chance to stock up on pods at a lower price.
If you’re wondering whether Nespresso or Keurig machines are better overall, both have consistently excelled in our evaluations and earned high praise from consumer testers. That said, coffee enthusiasts might lean toward the cost savings of a Keurig, while espresso lovers may find Nespresso more appealing. “K-Cups offer truer coffee options that are closer to drip coffee,” says Papantoniou, whereas Nespresso excels in espresso-making. “With Nespresso, you can choose from espresso capsules, double espresso capsules, coffee capsules, and more,” she explains. “It offers a wide variety of sizes and coffee types.”
Ultimately, the choice between a Nespresso or Keurig machine this Cyber Monday depends on your personal preference, budget and available counter or storage space. But, Papantoniou notes that while Keurig machines are often available at good prices on Amazon, the current Nespresso deal is unlikely to happen again anytime soon. That said, if you’ve been eyeing a particular Keurig model and it’s now 50% off, it’s a deal worth jumping on.
