The De'Longhi Magnifico Espresso Maker.
Best Buy

We’re always on the lookout for coffee maker deals, but what we really want for Christmas is a brand-new espresso machine. Unfortunately, these savant devices are often thousands of dollars and are overly complicated to use. But what if there was a happy middle-ground between an entry-level espresso maker and a top-shelf barista model? Enter the De’Longhi Magnifica Start Espresso Machine.

For a limited time, Best Buy is selling this espresso machine for $450, which is $50 off its regular price. A Goldilocks device for your steaming-hot morning beverage, the Magnifica has got what it takes to keep your energy up and your taste buds happy, and it’s a part of Best Buy’s Prep for the Holidays sale!

Why you should buy the De’Longhi Magnifica

Espresso machines can look pretty intimidating on the surface, which is why De’Longhi went out of its way to design an espresso machine that just about anyone can use. With its set-it-and-forget-it design, all you have to do is place your mug on the drip tray, select the type of beverage you’d like to brew, and watch as the Magnifica gets to work on the perfect pour.

Not only will you have the ability to brew multiple hot and cold beverages, but the Magnifica also comes with a manual milk frother for adding that special final layer to your artisan drink. The built-in grinder has 13 different settings to choose from and even includes a grounds bypass if you already had your beans ground up at the store. We were also glad to learn that most of the Magnifica’s parts are both removable and dishwasher-safe, making cleanup a total breeze.

We don’t know when the De’Longhi Magnifica is ever going to be this price again, so now might be the best time to save. Take $50 off this espresso maker when you purchase at Best Buy, and be sure to check out some of the other espresso machine deals and Best Buy deals we’ve been rounding up!

Haier is putting AI to work on the chores you barely think about 
Architecture, Building, Furniture

This post is brought to you in paid partnership with Haier

Haier brought its “Home of Intelligent Possibilities” vision to IFA 2026, showcasing products across laundry, refrigeration, cooking, dishwashing, televisions and floorcare. AI, sensors and connected technology featured across the range, but the more interesting question was what those systems actually did. In many cases, they were being used to help appliances recognise what was happening and make adjustments without requiring another instruction from the user.

SimpliSafe wants its new doorbell to stop porch pirates, not just record them
SimpliSafe’s new $200 doorbell can yell at package thieves and call the police
SimpliSafe Video Doorbell Series 2

Video doorbells are great for keeping an eye on what does around your house. But when a package is being stolen, all you get is the footage of someone walking away with our stuff. SimpliSafe is working on making things a little more secure.

The company’s new Video Doorbell Series 2 extends its Active Guard Outdoor Protection service directly to the front door. When the doorbell detects a potential threat, trained US-based monitoring agents can view the live feed, speak directly to the person outside, activate the doorbell’s siren, and, when necessary, request police dispatch while the camera records what is happening.

Apple’s new AI camera features come with a bizarre iCloud storage tax
HomeKit Secure Video footage doesn’t count against iCloud storage, yet adding Apple Intelligence to more cameras means buying increasingly massive storage plans
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

Apple is making HomeKit Secure Video a lot smarter. Its new Apple Intelligence features can describe recorded activity and let you search camera footage using natural language instead of digging through clips yourself.

Getting those features across several cameras is where things get weird. The 2TB iCloud Plus plan supports Apple Intelligence on one camera. Two cameras require 6TB, while five require the 12TB tier. All that extra storage is required even though HomeKit Secure Video recordings don’t count against your iCloud allowance.
