Breville’s Nespresso Creatista Plus for $389

Keurig may have won the mindshare wars but they are hardly the only name in coffee as coffee has so many ways to make drinks. One such is the union of two name-brands for this gadget that is on sale, a collaboration between Breville and Nestle’s Nespresso…

It’s their “Creatista Plus” stainless steel device, currently on sale for $389 with free shipping by Amazon actual. This is not a lightning deal, so it doesn’t have a ticking-clock; but the price can also change at any point in time; or remain the same for weeks on end.

IF you are not familiar with this device, and if the name “Nespresso” didn’t give it away, note that this can only be used with the Nespresso coffee capsules (similar to the Keurig K-Cups). Check the description, and gallery pictures and nearly 100 customer reviews if you are not already familiar with this!

Tiger PDU-A30U-K Electric Water Boiler and Warmer for $104 (with Clip-ON coupon)

If you make a lot of tea and coffee or need hot (or boiling) almost all the time (eg new baby), one way to go about it is to get a dedicated water boiler and warmer that is connected to AC power all the time and constantly keeps water hot (or near boiling; at your preset temperature), so you can use it right when you need it.

One such device is currently on special at Amazon! It is the 3-Liter Tiger PDU-A30U-K Electric Water Boiler and Warmer/, in stainless steel black, going for $130 with free shipping. But what makes it a deal is that if Amazon actual is a seller, there is a limited time 20% off clip-on coupon that drops the price from $130 to $104~. The coupon depends on the price of the item, so if its price goes up and down, the coupon discount will be a percentage of that new price.

On the same listing there are three different versions, a 3L (this one) and a 4L and a 5L, so if you are reading customer reviews over there, make sure you are looking at the correct model.

This can also be handy at a small business or office, especially if your business is food or drink related.

I am certainly tempted by one of these as I drink much and more tea 🙂

Hamilton Beach 12-Cup Brewstation Coffee Maker (model 47950) for $41

It’s coffee time! There are many ways to brew coffee, and each way has its own pros and cons. If you are looking for a programmable 12-cup coffee maker, there’s a new sale at Amazon, the new condition Hamilton Beach 12-Cup Brewstation Coffee Maker (model 47950) is on sale for the very specific price of $40.56 with free shipping for all (and faster shipping for Prime members) by Amazon actual. This is not a lightning deal, so it’s a sale until it ends.

It has a removable water reservoir which can be a hard to find feature for some who like it. It is certainly easier to move the reservoir under the sink than the whole coffee machine 🙂 Note however that this does NOT have a coffee carafe. It dispenses coffee one cup at a time! So make sure this is how you plan to use it, otherwise it will be an exercise in frustration 🙂

It averages 3.9 out of 5 based on nearly 1400 customer reviews, and it has over 100 questions answered by Amazon shoppers.

Zojirushi EC-YSC100 Coffee Machine for $76 after coupon

Pour-over fans, close your eyes 🙂 This is a fancy digital coffee maker but at a reasonable price, it is the Zojirushi EC-YSC100, currently going for $76 after you apply the $20 off Amazon clip-on coupon you see on the product page. The price of the coffee maker can change, because the coupon is a flat $20 off, the coupon does not fix the price.

The benefits of this thermal carafe brewer is that it has a detachable water reservoir, so you can fill it up and CLEAN it separately from the coffee maker. A thermal carafe is nice too, since the coffee will stay warn longer, handy for a long work or reading session or if you are entertaining friends and slowly drinking coffee along. You don’t want people in your book club to get overly coffee-hyped 🙂

It averages 4.2 out of 5 based on over 500 customer reviews and has over 100 questions peer-answered for this programmable coffee maker. Note however that it does NOT grind coffee beans.

As usual, this is a limited time offer, but a specific expiration time is not known ahead of time. Happy coffee drinking 🙂

UPDATE: but if you need a grinder to go with it, this Mr Coffee IDS77 programmable grinder is currently on sale for $12.38 (limit three per customer at the moment).

They are kinda buried further down the website, but if you slow down, take a deep breath and use a desktop browser, you’ll eventually find them in the chaos and disorder that is an Amazon product page these days 🙂
