KitchenAid’s craft coffee machines perk up your countertop

If you love coffee as much as we do, you’ll be stoked to hear that KitchenAid has just released a quartet of new coffeemakers aimed at the craft brewing crowd. The new line includes a coffee press, a siphon brewer, a pour-over machine, and an espresso maker — so no matter what style brew you dig, they’ve got you covered.

The most affordable option of the bunch is KitchenAid’s Precision Press: a souped-up version of the traditional French press. Under the hood it’s equipped with an integrated timer and weight scale, which allows you to get your measurements and steep times absolutely perfect.

If French press isn’t your cup of tea, there’s also a pour over machine in the lineup. The KitchenAid Pour Over Coffee Brewer emulates the technique of an expert barista with a pre-infusion stage that pours just enough water to wet the coffee grounds, then pauses long enough to allow the fresh coffee to “exhale” before the final brewing stage. Apparently this technique creates the “bloom” that marks a great cup of pour over coffee.

Venturing even further into the realm of coffee snobbery, KitchenAid has also released a Siphon Brewer. In the company’s own words, this brewer “reimagines the theater of classic vacuum pot brewers with modern engineering, simple setup and fewer parts. It combines the richness of total-immersion brewing methods with the clean flavor profile of filter-brewed coffee, all without the need for a disposable filter.”

And last but certainly not least, there’s the KitchenAid Pro Line Series Espresso Maker. This thing is a beast. Espresso, lattes, cappuccinos; you name it and this machine will make it. It even comes with an additional frothing pitcher specifically designed to create latte art.

Look out Keurig — the bar has just been raised.

How to format the microSD card on Tapo security cameras
The Tapo C120 out in the rain.

One of the most compelling features of Tapo products (like the Wire-Free 2K Outdoor Cam and Indoor/Outdoor Cam) is support for local storage. Many Tapo security cameras let you install a microSD card, so you don't have to rely on cloud storage to save all your videos – instead, they're neatly stored right on your camera. Before you can start using local storage, however, you'll need to format your microSD card. Tapo has some pretty strict requirements for how this works, but the process itself is remarkably simple.

Ready to start saving all your video clips locally? Here's how to format the microSD card on your Tapo security camera.

Blink Mini 2 vs. Ring Stick Up Cam Pro: Which is the best security camera?
The Ring Stick Up Cam Pro on display the 2023 Amazon Fall Devices and Services event.

The Blink Mini 2 is one of the cheapest security cameras you can buy. It's pretty well-rounded too. It's capable of filming in HD and offering support for outdoor use when paired with an optional accessory, making it a great choice for shoppers on a budget. That makes it wildly different from the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro, which carries a hefty price tag and supports both indoor and outdoor use right out of the box without the need to purchase a secondary accessory.

But is the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro a better investment than the affordable Blink Mini 2? From pricing and video resolution to the installation process and additional features, here's a look at the Blink Mini 2 and Ring Stick Up Cam Pro to help you decide which is the best choice for your home.
