The top 3 Breville coffee makers I'm looking out for on Amazon Prime Day as a trained barista

I test over a dozen coffee makers every year here at TechRadar, and Breville's espresso and drip coffee machines are consistently some of the best around. That quality doesn't come cheap, but during Amazon Prime Day I'm hoping to find one of my favorites at a deep discount.

All of these machines are totally beginner-friendly, and will help you achieve consistently delicious results even if you've never tried making coffee at home before.

First, a word on names: these coffee makers are sold under the name 'Breville' in the US and Australia, but 'Sage' in the UK. They are the exact same coffee makers, but the name 'Breville' was already taken by a different company in the UK. Now, on with my wish list.

1. Breville Barista Touch Impress with Cold Extraction

If you're looking for an espresso machine this Prime Day, the Barista Touch Impress with Cold Extraction is a great pick. It's normally pretty pricey, but with the right discount it'll be easy to recommend, helping you achieve perfectly balanced espresso every time even if you've never touched a portafilter before.

The Impress Puck System is my favorite feature, letting you pull down a lever to tamp your freshly ground coffee without having to remove the portafilter handle from beneath the grinder. You never have to move a filter basket full of loose coffee and risk spilling it, and the tactile feeling of the lever is very satisfying.

Cold brewing involves allowing the bed of ground coffee to infuse in cold water (a process known as blooming) before it’s extracted at high pressure. The result is a smooth-tasting drink that’s a good alternative to traditionally-made cold brew, in a fraction of the time. Delicious.

2. Breville Luxe Brewer Thermal

The Luxe Brewer Thermal is the best drip coffee maker I've tested to date, and I've got my eyes peeled for a good Prime Day discount so I can take the plunge and pick one up for myself.

Brewing a batch of drip coffee is, fundamentally, a very straightforward process – you just pour hot water onto ground coffee and let it drip into a carafe – and the Luxe Brewer Thermal keeps things simple while providing a handful of genuinely useful customization options. In my tests, the default settings worked well, but if you don't get just the right flavor from your beans you can tweak the bloom time (how long the coffee is pre-infused with hot water), bloom temperature, brew time, and brew temperature to fine-tune the extraction.

It can also prepare a batch of cold-brewed coffee. Add ground beans and water, and your coffee will be steeped cold for 24 hours. The machine will beep to alert you when it's ready, so all you need to do is add ice and enjoy. Perfect for hot summer days.

3. Breville Barista Express

The Barista Express is a mid-range semi-automatic espresso machine that's a nice step up if you're currently using a capsule coffee maker and want to start getting more hands-on with your morning brew. The Express can dose and grind the beans for you, but you'll tamp the coffee yourself, use the razor tool to get it to the perfect level, and steam your own milk. It's a lot of fun once you get the hang of it.

There are some nice touches too, like the cool-touch handle on the steam wand, aforementioned levelling tool, and a temperature gauge on the milk pitcher to make sure you don't scald your foam (nobody wants that).

This is one of Breville's older semi-automatics, so if we're lucky we could see some very generous deals this Prime Day, potentially knocking several hundred off the regular price.
