I’d start with these 5 coffee maker deals ahead of Prime Day

A full pot for under $30 or a more ambitious espresso setup, depending on how involved mornings should be

Best Prime Day Amazon Deals
This story is part of the Digital Trends Prime Day 2026 coverage

Some mornings call for a full pot. Others leave barely enough time to insert a capsule. These five Amazon coffee maker deals cover both, plus espresso machines for anyone ready to learn and anyone who’d appreciate a little help. Prices start at $29.73.

Black+Decker 12-cup coffee maker – $29.73 (15% off)

Sometimes a pot of coffee waiting in the kitchen is enough. This Black+Decker lets you schedule tomorrow’s brew tonight and pour a cup before the batch finishes. Saving $5.26 won’t transform the household budget, but a programmable drip machine for under $30 deserves a place here. The early Prime Big Deal price requires a Prime membership.

Capacity12-cup glass carafe; approximately 5 ounces per cup
Scheduling24-hour programmable auto brew
Mid-brew pouringSneak-A-Cup temporarily pauses coffee flow
CleaningRemovable, washable brew basket
ShutoffAutomatic shutoff

Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ – $99 (34% off)

Drop in a capsule, press a button, and leave the measuring and tamping out of the morning routine. That’s the appeal of the Vertuo Pop+, now $99 for Prime members. I’d check the price of the capsules before buying, though, since those purchases will outlast the machine’s discount. This offer doesn’t include a milk frother, so lattes require another purchase.

Key spec/featureDetails
Coffee systemNespresso Vertuo capsules
Drink optionsEspresso and larger coffee servings, depending on capsule
Water reservoir37.2 ounces on the selected model
Heat-upApproximately 30 seconds
Milk frotherNot included

Ninja Pods & Grounds coffee maker – $99.94 (23% off)

This Ninja lets the coffee cupboard dictate what’s brewing: K-Cups when they’re handy, grounds when there’s a bag worth opening. For less than $100, that flexibility is its strongest argument. The specialty setting makes concentrated coffee rather than espresso, and a fold-away frother handles milk. Grounds also unlock larger servings, including a 24-ounce brew for a travel mug.

Key spec/featureDetails
Coffee compatibilityK-Cup pods and ground coffee
Brew sizes6–12 ounces with pods; 6–24 ounces with grounds
Brew stylesClassic, Rich, Over Ice, and Specialty
Water reservoir56 ounces, removable
Milk frotherBuilt-in, removable, and fold-away

Breville Bambino – $249.95 (17% off)

The Bambino is the one I’d choose to learn on. It leaves milk steaming in human hands, fits into a smaller kitchen, and reaches brewing temperature in three seconds. There’s still technique to practice, which is part of the appeal. A grinder costs extra, so the $50 discount helps with a purchase that doesn’t necessarily end at the espresso machine.

Key spec/featureDetails
Heating systemThermoJet with a 3-second heat-up
Portafilter54mm
ExtractionLow-pressure pre-infusion followed by 9-bar extraction
Shot controlsOne- and two-shot buttons
Milk steamingManual steam wand
GrinderNot included

Ninja Luxe Café Pro – $599.95 (20% off)

The Luxe Café Pro asks for more money and counter space, then takes several jobs off the brewer’s hands. A grinder and built-in scale handle dosing, a lever tamps the grounds, and hands-free frothing prepares the milk. The $150.04 discount makes the expense easier to justify for a household making different drinks. Check the cabinet clearance: it’s over 19 inches tall.

Key spec/featureDetails
Drink categoriesEspresso, drip coffee, cold brew, and hot water
GrinderConical burr grinder with 25 settings
DosingBuilt-in scale for weight-based dosing
TampingIntegrated lever-operated tamper
Milk preparationHands-free frothing with five presets

Mori might be the cutest AI companion robot yet, and it reacts to you like a pet
The Pokémon-like companion can blink, dance, act shy, and respond to what is happening around it.
OKA Mori The Nature Companion AI Home Robot

With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.

Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
