Between buying discount electronics and stocking up on makeup sales, make sure you give your kitchen some Black Friday love, too. Though the deals might not be as wild as some other major retailers, the Crate & Barrel Black Friday sale is definitely one of the best of the season. Typically expensive luxury kitchenware like De'Longhi espresso machines and KitchenAid appliances are 20 percent off, giving you a chance to makeover your kitchen before the holiday parties begin.

Starting Nov. 19 and ending Nov. 26, just plug in the code HOLIDAY20 when you checkout to score the Black Friday kitchen savings. Not all of Crate & Barrel's extensive selections from each brand are included, but even professional chefs could find something to love from the array of selected products on sale.

To start, the De'Longhi espresso machines. You could spend hours researching the exact details of the sale's espresso machines — and swooning over De'Longhi's contemporary designs. If you're new to at-home espresso brewing, invest in the De'Longhi Dedica Slimline Espresso Maker. Regularly $299.95 but on sale at $239.96, the compact machine will introduce you to the wonders of pump-style espresso. It's beginner friendly, too: the water heats up to the correct temperature in 40 seconds, for sleepy mornings where you wish a latté would just materialize in front of you. It doesn't hurt that the De'Longhi's cherry red color is delightfully retro.

Already whipping up cappuccinos with the best of them? Use this sale as the chance to go pro. De'Longhi makes luxury at-home espresso machines for the serious brewer, and they're also 20 percent off. De'Longhi's sophisticated, programable Digital Super Automatic Espresso Machine with Lattecrema System is like having a barista available in your kitchen. Just enter in how strong, hot, and creamy you like your beverages, and the machine will make your espresso exactly how you like it with just the touch of a button. The state of the art system originally retails at $1,499.95, and with the Black Friday code, is on sale for $1,199.96.

If you prefer good old-fashioned coffee over espresso, use the code on KitchenAid's Pour Over Coffee Brewer. Anyone that hasn't gotten into pour-over coffee will have their minds blown: The technique extracts rich flavor from cheap ground coffees, and makes freshly ground whole bean coffee an artisanal experience. KitchenAid took the struggle out of brewing a pour-over at home — having to delicately swirl water from a steaming kettle into a slowly dripping glass container first thing in the morning — by automating the process. Awarded with the Specialty Coffee Association's Certified Home Brewer certification, the genius $179.99 KitchenAid brewer is available for only $143.99 with the Black Friday code.

Naturally, word of a sale on KitchenAid appliances may have made your ears perk up for non-caffeinated reasons. Though some of the cult KitchenAid Stand Mixers don't have special reduced prices, the HOLIDAY20 code applies to other KitchenAid products. You'll have to put in a bit more muscle when using the KitchenAid 9-Speed Hand Mixer; but you'll save enough money to make it worth it. Crate & Barrel regularly sells the hand mixer for $99.99, but with the code, you can score KitchenAid's signature powerful mixing technology for only $79.99.

Besides the hand mixer, you can find KitchenAid Stand Mixer attachments, useful appliances, and more in the sale. Keep scrolling to shop eight deals from Crate & Barrel's Black Friday kitchen section, with the espresso machines that will make getting up on winter mornings something you'll look forward to.
