Black Friday is, without a doubt, the most anticipated date for deal hunters and shopping fans. I think it is the time when we Americans take the opportunity to renew our kitchens, bedrooms, home technological heritage and even the closet. This day is celebrated on the last Friday of November, just after Americans finish their turkey and start fighting for the best deals. In 2024, mark your calendar: November 29, the perfect time to let your credit card fly (responsibly, of course).
It is the ideal opportunity to renew gadgets, buy Christmas gifts or simply celebrate yourself with something special. For example, on Black Friday in 2023, I found an air fryer with a 70% discount. 70%! The truth is, I didn’t need it at that moment, but after weeks of cooking everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) in that wonder, I understood that it was love at first offer. I haven’t stopped using it until today, and it has been one of the smartest purchases I have made in years on Amazon, where I almost always shop around this time.
The espresso machine I found on Amazon: It’s worth more than I paid
This year, among the thousands of offers on Amazon, I found a little gem that will make coffee lovers happy: the Breville The Infuser Espresso Machine, with a 42% discount. Let’s talk about this beauty, because trust me, you won’t want to pass it up. For those who believe that coffee is not just a drink, but a ritual, this machine is the one, as if they were made for each other. The Breville The Infuser Espresso Machine is not just any coffee maker. This little beast takes you right to the professional barista level, but from the comfort of your home. And, with that 42% discount on Amazon, Black Friday is the ideal time to bring it to your kitchen.
This beauty of culinary engineering combines four infallible keys: the correct dose of coffee, optimal water pressure (no more and no less than what the baristas indicate), adjustable temperature control and a microfoam worthy of latte art. It is extremely easy to use, because you only have to adjust the size of the espresso you want, choose between 1 or 2 shots of coffee, or customize the exact amount you want, if you like large cups of coffee (like me ).
Low-pressure pre-infusion ensures that every particle of coffee is exploited (in flavor, that is), while the digital PID system adjusts every detail in 2°F increments. Translation: There’s no way to ruin coffee, even for the less adept at brewing it like me. Then there’s the milk, which can be frothed with its 1650W power wand that creates microbubbles that will make your cappuccinos like those in the best coffee shop in Rome. On Amazon it is on sale, during the days of Black Friday, for $349.99, reduced 42% from its original price of $599.95.
