The stainless steel Hamilton Beach 2-Way Brewer can brew a full 12-cup carafe of coffee or a single cup or travel mug. Note that the coffee maker does not come with the travel mug in the photos. In either case, single-serve or carafe, you can easily adjust the strength of the brew (Regular or Bold) with a selector on the front of the machine.

The single-serve function has a dedicated water reservoir and a small brew basket for ground coffee. You can also insert a soft coffee pod in an integrated pod holder. There’s also a multilevel cup rest on the single-serve side so you can use different size cups and coffee mugs without the coffee splashing.

The coffee maker’s LCD screen helps with programming; use separate buttons for hours and minutes to set the time for your coffee to brew  — up to 24 hours in advance. If you oversleep or get distracted, a non-stick warming plate keeps your coffee hot for two hours — after which it turns off.

The Hamilton Beach 2-Way Brewer is an Amazon Choice product and also a customer favorite. Reviews from 9,968 Amazon customers averaged 4.1 stars on a 5-star scale. Reviewers most often praised the Hamilton Beach 2-Way Brewer’s material quality, flavor, versatility, temperature control, and how easy it is to clean.

Normally priced at $90, Amazon discounted the Hamilton Beach 49980A 2-way Brewer Coffee Maker by $53 to $37 for today only. This deal of the day sale ends at 11:59 p.m. PT. If you’re ready for a new coffee maker and would like the convenience of the single cup or carafe brewing with simple brew strength selection, take advantage of this opportunity to pick up an Amazon customer favorite coffee machine at an amazing price.

Ecovacs shows off powerful Deebot X8 Pro Omni robot vacuum at CES 2025

Ecovacs came out swinging at CES 2025, revealing a slew of smart home products running the gamut from robot vacuums and lawnmowers to bizarre window-cleaning robots. The star, however, was the Deebot X8 Pro Omni -- a powerful robot vacuum that makes big changes to its mopping abilities thanks to a new collaboration with Tineco.

Though it didn’t pick up a robotic arm like the Roborock Saros Z70, the Deebot X8 Pro Omni did learn some cool new mopping techniques. There are two big upgrades here, the first being additional pressure while mopping. The X8 Pro Omni can create up to 4,000Pa pressure and spin at up to 200 rpm, which should result in better cleaning than anything else we’ve seen from Ecovacs so far. The other upgrade is a self-washing mop, which continually cleans itself while mopping your floors, ensuring every mess is tackled by a clean mop.

A close-up look at Ballie from the side.

Samsung first revealed Ballie several years ago at CES 2020 -- only for the home bot to go dark, before reemerging with a new design at CES 2024. At CES 2025, Ballie once again took the stage, and Samsung is officially claiming that the adorable robot will be coming to store shelves sometime this year. It’s been a long time coming, but it seems as if Ballie is ready to become your new household companion, and we’re excited about all the possibilities it can bring to your smart home.

Ballie is a home bot that makes liberal use of AI technology. It’s billed as a “self-propelled, autonomous home robot” designed with companionship, health monitoring, and entertainment features to help streamline your day-to-day tasks. Its built-in projector and speakers are the main way it’ll communicate with users, and they seem to be pretty robust.
