The Ninja Luxe Café Pro is on sale for Prime Day, but this five-star De'Longhi coffee maker is even better with 43% off

The Ninja Luxe Café Pro is one of the most popular semi-automatic espresso machines around, and it's received a generous price cut for Prime Day, knocking it down from $749.99 to $599. That's a respectable offer, but if you're looking for a real bargain on a coffee maker, I suggest checking out De'Longhi's offerings instead — specifically the excellent De'Longhi La Specialista Arte Evo, which is now just $399.95 (was $699.95) and was rated five stars in our review.

Like the Luxe Café Pro, the La Specialista Arte Evo can handle the trickiest parts of the espresso-making process for you, but lets you take as much control as you want as you develop your barista skills. Both machines grind coffee for you directly into the portafilter basket and help you tamp it down perfectly, then make it easy to get exactly the right extraction for consistently delicious and well-balanced results.

We awarded the De'Longhi La Specialista Arte Evo a full five stars in our review thanks to its ease of use, smart looks, and solid build, and it's a great alternative to the Ninja machine if your budget won't stretch quite that far. Sure, it lacks a few of the Ninja's features. such as a tamping lever and automatic milk frother, but it has all the essentials covered and looks great too.
