I’m a trained barista, and these are the top 5 Nespresso machines I’d recommend to anyone — all with Prime Day savings

Nespresso machines make brewing consistently tasty coffee easy, without any of the mess of using fresh coffee grounds — and they’re going cheap for Amazon Prime Day. As TechRadar’s resident coffee expert and trained barista, I’ve rounded up a collection of my five favorite Nespresso machines — all of which happen to be on sale for Prime Day in both the US and the UK.

All of these Nespresso machines have been tested and recommended by our team of reviewers, so you can be confident they’ll all deliver great results.

Can’t decide between espresso and drip coffee in the morning? The Ninja Prestige DualBrew System (also known as the Espresso & Coffee Maker Barista System) does both. This all-in-one caffeine station makes delicious espresso using Nespresso Original-style capsules (I tested it with some I bought from a local coffee roaster), which you can brew in three different sizes, with a height-adjustable drip tray so you can use your favorite cups with no splashing. Want to turn your shot into a cappuccino or latte? Use the milk frother on the back of the machine.

On the left-hand side of the DualBrew System you have a feature-packed drip coffee maker, with features including a timer (so you can prepare everything before bed and wake to freshly-brewed coffee in the morning), a drip-stop valve, and a smart hotplate that keeps your coffee hot without scalding it. It’s one of the best drip coffee makers I’ve tested — and it even makes cold-brew.

This is the cheapest this two-in-one coffee maker has been in 2026, and a great buy for Prime Day if you love both drip and espresso, and don’t have space in your kitchen for two machines.View Deal

The UK deal on the DualBrew System is even better; this is the cheapest it’s ever been by a long shot. I really don’t need another coffee maker at home, but with 32% off, even I’m tempted.View Deal

2. Nespresso Lattissima One

Most Nespresso machines just make espresso, but the Lattissima One (made by De’Longhi) also includes an automatic milk frother for lattes, cappuccinos and macchiatos at the tap of a button. It’s ideal if you’re the only coffee-lover in your household and want a personal machine for preparing single servings.

Like the Ninja Prestige DualBrew System above, it takes Nespresso Original capsules, which means you have a huge choice of drinks from big brands and indie roasters alike. After testing your tap water with the litmus strip provided and setting the hardness on the machine, just drop in a pod and use the three buttons to choose your preferred size and type of drink.

Our reviewer Emily Peck was surprised by how quietly the Lattissima One went about its work, and found the resulting coffee delicious. She had to consult the manual to check what each button does (they perform multiple functions) but once she had that down, she was making great coffees with ease.

The Lattissima One always gets some good discounts during sales events, and Prime Day 2026 is no exception. This is Amazon’s best price this year, and the deal applies to both the black and white models.View Deal

The Lattissima One is even cheaper in the UK for Prime Day, and you’ll get the biggest saving if you opt for this attractive pastel green version. It comes with a starter set of Nespresso capsules too.View Deal

The Nanopresso is an ingenious little coffee maker that relies on elbow grease rather than an electric pump to extract your espresso. The standard version works with ground coffee only, but it’s even more convenient if you opt for the version with an adapter for Nespresso Original capsules. After all, who wants to carry loose coffee grounds around when they’re exploring the great outdoors?

Our tester noted that it feels durable and rugged (ideal for throwing in a backpack), and although you’ll need to familiarize yourself with the various unusual-looking components before taking it out for the first time, you’ll soon be able to assemble it and start brewing in moments.

“All you need is access to hot water and some kind of stable surface to set everything up,” said our tester, who was seriously impressed by the resulting espresso. “The Nanopresso actually had us asking why coffee had become so complicated, when all you really need for a wake-up call is a small and mighty piece of kit like this,” she concluded. Why indeed?

Amazon has knocked the Nanopresso down to its lowest-ever price for Prime Day, paired with a Nespresso Original adapter so you can use it with either ground coffee or pods as the fancy takes you.View Deal

There’s also a 20% discount on the same portable coffee-making setup in the UK. Like the US deal, this is a record-breaking price cut, so if you’re looking for an espresso maker for summer camping expeditions, this could be the one.View Deal

4. Nespresso Vertuo Pop

The Nespresso Vertuo Pop is made by Breville (Sage in the UK), so you can be confident that it’s well-made and durable, despite its budget price tag. This mini Nespresso machine is always an affordable option, and it’s even cheaper in this week’s Amazon Prime Day sale. It takes dome-shaped Nespresso Vertuo capsules, which include a wide variety of regular and flavored coffees, including special editions like Coconut and Vanilla (designed to be made over ice) and Pistachio Vanilla.

Our tester Jennifer Oksien called it “a fabulous entry-level coffee maker”, and owning one myself, I’m inclined to agree. It heats up in about a minute (just power it on and wait until the light on top stops blinking), after which you can simply slide in the pod, press down the lid, and hit the brew button. There are no options to choose between different drink sizes because Vertuo pods do that for you — the machine detects which one you’re using and uses the appropriate amount of water without you doing a thing.

The Vertuo Pop+ has a larger water tank than the classic Pop, so you can make drinks for two before it needs refilling. This pistachio green version is usually more expensive than other colors, but it’s down to a record-low price this Prime Day.View Deal

Nespresso machines don’t get cheaper than the original Pop, and the Coconut White version has received a major Prime Day price cut. It’s not quite a record low (it was a couple of pounds less back in 2023) but it’s still a huge saving.View Deal

5. Nespresso Vertuo Next

The Nespresso Vertuo Next is a step up from the Pop, and is noticeably taller, with a larger water tank, more space for your cup, and a bigger bin for used capsules. It’s a piece of cake to use as well, and our tester Sophie Bird deemed it the simplest coffee maker she’d ever used — and considering how many coffee machines we test here at TechRadar, that’s saying something. She timed the whole brewing process from start to sip, and found it took just 100 seconds, making this an excellent option if you’re pressed for time in the morning.

She found the Vertuo Next virtually mess-free as well, noting that there was no splashing when the machine was dispensing coffee — largely thanks to the height-adjustable drip tray. The Vertuo Next is taller than the Pop above, so you can comfortably use larger cups (such as your favorite takeaway cup), and has a bigger water tank for larger brews.

$80 off a top-notch Nespresso machine? Don’t mind if I do! This deal applies to the Vertuo Next in stylish gray or navy blue. It dropped to $90 yesterday though, so it might be worth holding out until Thursday to see if it goes back down again.View Deal

The US deal is great, but coffee aficionados in the UK are even luckier, with the Vertuo Next selling for less than half price this Prime Day. It’s almost as cheap as the Vertuo Pop, so take a minute to consider which will work best for you.View Deal
