September 29 is well-known for various holidays. Happy Goose Day, Poisoned Blackberries Day, and Attend Your Grandchild’s Birthday Day to those observing. I will mark National Coffee Day. (This should not be confused with International Coffee Day, which is the following day.)
Established by the National Coffee Association around 2009, National Coffee Day previously included complimentary and discounted coffee from establishments like Dunkin’ and Panera, but it seems that many major chains this year are focusing on new product launches rather than discounts. (For instance: Krispy Kreme’s coffee-flavored donuts and Starbucks’ new aerocano.) If you’re searching for bargains, you may need to brew your own coffee at home this year. Fortunately, we’ve discovered some excellent sales to make this a celebration worth having.
Deals From Atlas Coffee Club
WIRED reviewer Matthew Korfhage’s top coffee subscription for the second consecutive year has a multifaceted deal running until October 5. Obtain a 12-ounce bag of single-origin coffee for $5 with any subscription, enjoy a 50 percent discount on pods for Keurig and Nespresso machines, and benefit from up to $50 off gift subscriptions (for example, six months is only $99 instead of $120). Coffee subscriptions make a fantastic gift for those who are difficult to shop for.
Lowest Price We’ve Seen on Our Favorite Super-Automatic Espresso Machine
Korfhage’s favorite bean-to-cup super-automatic espresso machine takes care of everything for you—just fill the hopper, and the Rivelia will assist in selecting grinder settings, extracting your grounds, and even frothing your milk. This is the lowest price this machine has ever reached, with most sales hovering around $1,200. It’s worth considering if you’re in the market.
Save $20 on a Plastic-Free Aeropress
Aeropress is the quickest and best method to manually brew coffee. Traditional Aeropress varieties are made of plastic, but the premium steel-and-glass model is worth purchasing while on sale. Martin Cizmar praised it for its user-friendliness and the espresso-like flavor it yields.
Our Favorite Keurig Is 50 Percent Off
Keurig machines are ideal for offices and homes with varying schedules. The K-Cafe Smart is among our favorites. WIRED reviewer Louryn Strampe commended the K-Café, typically priced at $200. It features six brew sizes, customizable strength and temperature, and a built-in milk frother.
Save $100 on Fellow’s Greatest Hits
Our preferred drip coffee maker sells for $400 and effortlessly produces an excellent cup of coffee. Its elegant design adds a striking element to the countertop. The updated Opus grinder is a strong candidate for WIRED’s favorite coffee grinder, suitable for both espresso and drip. The Opus 2’s new stepless grind system improves its functionality. The grinder retails for $200, making this deal akin to receiving it at half off if you’re in the market for an Aiden.
