For coffee lovers in the UK, Black Friday 2025 delivered a serious wake-up call — and not just from the alarm clock. The Currys sale, which kicked off on Friday, November 28, 2025, slashed the price of the Ninja Luxe Pro coffee machine by £150, bringing it down from £699.99 to £549.99. That’s not just a discount — it’s a game-changer for anyone who’s been eyeing a pro-grade machine without the pro-grade price tag. The deal, confirmed by The Independent’s IndyBest and TechRadar, is part of a broader wave of kitchen appliance discounts that have turned this year’s Black Friday into one of the most aggressive in recent memory.
Why the Ninja Luxe Pro Is the Star of the Sale
The Ninja Luxe Pro isn’t just another coffee maker. It’s a three-in-one powerhouse that brews espresso, drip coffee, and cold brew — all from one sleek unit. Reviewer Inga Parkel from The Independent tested it extensively and called its hands-free milk frother "incredible," noting how it eliminates the usual mess and hassle of manual steaming. TechRadar added that the machine delivers 9 bars of pressure, a burr grinder with multiple grind settings, and a keep-warm function that keeps your brew at the perfect temperature for up to two hours. "It’s like having a barista in your kitchen," one tester wrote. And with the £150 drop, it’s suddenly within reach for far more households than before.
Other Coffee Deals You Can’t Ignore
The Ninja isn’t the only machine getting a major price cut. The Nespresso Vertuo Pop, a favorite among pod beginners, has dropped from £99 to £57 — a 42% discount. Meanwhile, the Sage Barista Express, long considered the sweet spot between manual control and automated convenience, now costs £475.95, down from £629.99. That’s £154 off — enough to cover a year’s supply of beans.
Even more surprising? The TASSIMO by Bosch Style TAS1107GB is now just £29, down from £89.99. For those who just want a quick, no-fuss cup, that’s a steal. And if you’re after something bigger, the Nespresso Vertuo Lattissima One is £60.99 cheaper than its original price.
Currys Is Betting Big on Kitchen Tech
Currys, the British multinational retailer headquartered in London, has spent the last 15 years turning Black Friday from a U.S. import into a national shopping frenzy. With 2,437 stores across the UK, Ireland, and Europe, the company didn’t just roll out a few discounts — it went all in. Alongside the coffee machines, Currys expanded its sale on November 28 to include LG OLED TVs, Dyson hair care products, and more Ninja kitchen gadgets. "This is one of the strongest line-ups we’ve seen in years," said The Independent’s editorial team.
What’s unusual this year is how quickly deals are changing. TechRadar reported that Currys "expanded its sale today," meaning new discounts are dropping mid-event. That’s a shift from the static, pre-announced deals of the past. Shoppers are now racing to grab items before they vanish — and many are reporting sold-out stock on top models by midday.
Who’s Really Winning? The Coffee Enthusiast
This sale isn’t just about saving money — it’s about upgrading your daily ritual. For years, high-end coffee machines were locked behind a £700+ price barrier. Now, with the Ninja Luxe Pro at £550 and the Sage Barista Express under £500, you’re looking at a genuine democratization of café-quality brewing. And it’s not just about the machines. The accompanying discounts on pods, filters, and even bean grinders mean you can build a full coffee setup without breaking the bank.
"It’s the first time I’ve seen a Black Friday where the coffee deals rival the TV and phone sales," said Marcus Lin, a home tech analyst at UK Consumer Insights. "People aren’t just buying appliances — they’re buying a lifestyle. And Currys knows it."
What’s Next? Cyber Monday Looms
Don’t think this is over. The Black Friday sale runs through Cyber Monday, December 2, 2025. Currys has hinted at additional flash deals and member-only discounts for its loyalty program. Meanwhile, competitors like AO.com and ProCook are playing catch-up — the Ninja Prestige DualBrew is now £208 at AO, and with a membership code, it drops to £197. ProCook’s pod machine is £119.20 with code BF20.
But here’s the twist: the best deals aren’t necessarily the biggest discounts. They’re the ones that make you rethink what you thought you needed. That £29 TASSIMO? It’s perfect for a dorm room or a second kitchen. The Ninja? It’s a full coffee bar in one box. And the Sage? It’s the machine you’ll still be using in five years.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Ninja Luxe Pro worth the £549.99 price tag?
Yes — especially if you drink multiple types of coffee. Unlike single-function machines, the Ninja Luxe Pro makes espresso, drip, and cold brew with one unit. Its burr grinder and hands-free frother eliminate the need for separate equipment. At £549.99, it’s £150 cheaper than last year’s Black Friday price and undercuts competitors like the DeLonghi Magnifica by over £200.
How does the Sage Barista Express compare to the Ninja Luxe Pro?
The Sage Barista Express is better for espresso purists who want manual control over grind size and tamping. The Ninja Luxe Pro is better for versatility — it handles everything from espresso to cold brew and even makes 12-cup batches. The Sage costs £475.95 now, making it a great middle-ground option if you don’t need cold brew or automatic frothing.
Are these deals only available at Currys?
No — but Currys has the most consistent and wide-ranging selection. The Ninja Luxe Pro discount is exclusive to Currys for now, while the Nespresso Vertuo Pop is also on sale at Very.co.uk and Amazon. However, Currys bundles free delivery and extended warranties, making it the safest bet for high-value items.
Will prices go lower after Cyber Monday?
Unlikely. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the two biggest discount windows of the year for kitchen appliances. Post-holiday sales typically offer smaller reductions, and stock becomes limited. If you’re serious about upgrading, waiting beyond December 2 could mean missing out entirely — especially on top-rated models like the Ninja Luxe Pro.
What’s the difference between a burr grinder and a blade grinder?
Burr grinders crush beans evenly, producing consistent grounds that extract flavor better. Blade grinders chop beans randomly, creating fine dust and coarse chunks that lead to bitter or weak coffee. The Ninja Luxe Pro and Sage Barista Express both use burr grinders — a key reason they’re rated so highly. Cheaper machines often skip this feature entirely.
Why is Black Friday such a big deal in the UK now?
Though it started as a U.S. tradition, Black Friday took off in the UK around 2010, when retailers like Currys realized how much demand existed for deep discounts on tech and appliances. Now, it’s a cultural event — with 68% of UK households planning to shop during the sale period, according to YouGov. The rise of online shopping and price comparison apps has turned it into a national shopping sprint.
