    It's International Coffee Day! Join our Live Q&A with an ex-barista to chat about the best coffee makers, brewing hacks and more (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    When will the obsession with hot bean juice end? Well, I hope it doesn't end. There's little I love more than making coffee — my years as a professional barista can attest to that. If there were an extra day in the week, I would, without a doubt, want to spend it behind the bar in an independent cafe. But now I'm Tom's Guide's in-house coffee expert, meaning I've tested over 50 coffee makers, tried all the weird "hacks", and consumed enough cups of coffee to give even an elephant the caffeine sh

    I tested one of the cheapest De'Longhi superautomatic coffee machines — and it's almost as good as a $2,000 model (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    For a superautomatic espresso machine, the $999 De’Longhi Magnifica Duo is relatively inexpensive. Obviously, $1,000 is still a huge amount of money, but as far as superautomatics go, this errs on the side of “Not too bad”. With lovely milk texture and middling coffee flavor, this isn’t the most impressive automatic machine I’ve ever tested, but it’s still a contender. Relatively affordable in the automatic coffee machine world Espresso flavor can be weak even on highest flavor intensity Why you

    I just tried the world’s first AI espresso machine — I'm a coffee snob, and it was surprisingly... good? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    As a self-confessed coffee snob and director of Tom's Guide's The Coffee Lab, I'm always testing out new espresso products. At IFA 2026, I tried nunc., an AI-assisted espresso machine. Yes, an AI espresso machine. So what does the AI in nunc. actually do? Instead of having to manually dial in your beans, nunc. uses an NFC code to analyze pre-packaged, nunc.-branded beans (you can also use your own beans). Then, the machine analyzes humidity, heat, bean size, and basically every other variable to

    I just watched a robot vacuum actually climb stairs — it took 3 minutes but those steps were sparkling after (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Stair-climbing robot vacuums aren't necessarily a new thing. Last year at IFA 2025, I watched Dreame's Cyber X climb stairs (super quickly, may I add), but I was disappointed with the bulk of the product — and that it's been a whole year and you still can't buy the Cyber X. Now I'm at IFA 2026 in Berlin, and I've just seen Roborock's stair-climbing contraption — the Rover. While this isn't available yet, you can get the new Qrevo Edge 3 Pro — for $1,499 from Amazon. Unfortunately, Roborock's rep
