No one loves espresso quite like Bethenny Frankel.
As such, you can trust the coffee connoisseur’s recs — like the Hamilton Beach Slide & Lock Espresso Machine she swears by, which is on sale for just $115 at Amazon for Black Friday.
In a TikTok posted on Nov. 14, the former “Real Housewives of New York City” star, 54, waxed poetic about the machine, calling it “one of the biggest surprises” in her coffee journey.
“She’s tiny and tough,” Frankel said of the coffee maker, which is suitable for small kitchens with limited counter space. “She’s got it all. [And] because she’s not too big, I’m not intimidated.”
After demonstrating how she preps her beverage, the Bravoleb showed off the machine’s “best feature” — the built-in swiveling frothing wand and adjustable steam dial.
Among its other selling points? The easy-to-view pressure dial and the two portafilter spouts that allow for brewing two shots of espresso at once.
“It tastes nice. Like, that’s a good little bitch,” Frankel concluded while sipping her drink.
“This little Beach is my baby. It’s like my favorite child: It may not get straight As, [but it] does really well and is really nice to me. And I just have a soft spot for it.”
Frankel added that the retro-looking device would make for an excellent under-$150 gift — and at 23% off, there’s no better time to become your own barista.

When is Black Friday 2024?
The biggest sales of the year kick off on Friday, November 29, 2024. Shoppers have just 26 days between Thanksgiving and Christmas for a shortened holiday shopping period — so plan wisely.
Are early Black Friday deals actually worth it?
We only highlight deals we think are worth it. Particularly for hot items that are at high sell-out risk, we recommend shopping early and taking advantage of pre-Thanksgiving discounts on big-ticket gifts like the cult favorite Dyson Airwrap, Kim Kardashian’s Beats, celeb-loved Ugg boots and more.
Can I shop Black Friday sales online?
Most stores and retailers now offer both in-store and online Black Friday sales, with matching discounts for those that want to shop IRL or virtually.
Why is it called “Black Friday”?
Despite being a great day for the economy, Black Friday still symbolizes the dark side of American consumerism, drawing memories of violent crowds competing for limited merchandise. However, with the advent of internet shopping, retailers and e-tailers continue to see record-breaking sales without the morbid mob mentality kicking off the holiday shopping season.
When is Cyber Monday 2024?
Monday, December 2, 2024 will be all about online shopping at retailers across the internet drop prices for Cyber Monday.
Which is better: Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
It depends! Some, though not all, retailers approach Black Friday and Cyber Monday differently, offering discounts on varying brands and products over the post-Thanksgiving weekend. Some stores use Cyber Monday as an opportunity to drop further discounts on on-sale items.
But beware: if you wait for Cyber Monday to make your purchases, you do risk the chance of products selling out.
