Maybe it’s just the chaos of Prime Big Deal Days getting to me, but I’m ready to admit something: I’m a coffee addict. I drink three cups every morning, sometimes have a pick-me-up after work, and a late-night Spanish Coffee certainly isn’t out of the question. So when I saw this espresso maker deal at Best Buy today, I figured it might be time to upgrade from my tried and true but worn out Mr. Coffee .
The Philips 3300 Fully Automatic Espresso Machine has a 31% discount during Best Buy Prime Day deals, the tech retailer’s 48-Hour Flash Sale competing with Amazon. That brings the price of this machine down to just $550 (compared to its regular $800 price). While that’s a far cry from my $75, battle-tested Mr. Coffee, it’s an enticing, splurge-worthy offer. Savings aside, there’s so much this machine can do that will entice a real java junkie.
The most obvious improvement is the ability to make real espresso shots, not just drip coffee (but it makes that, too). The Philips 3300 has six main modes: espresso shot, drip coffee, cappuccino, macchiato, hot water, and iced coffee. That’s how this thing saves you money. With the Philips 3300 on my countertop, the only reason I’ll go to a coffee shop is for the vibes or a ridiculously sugary frappe. Its discount price of $550 is equivalent to 110 $5 coffees. If you’re like me, you’ll recoup your costs in about three months. If you have multiple latte lovers in the house, it’ll pay for itself in no time.
All you need to make coffee with the Philips 3300 is fresh coffee beans, water, and milk — no barista skills required. The espresso maker grinds the beans and pulls the espresso shot for you. You don’t have to worry about burning your grounds. The milk frother is even automatic. No need to learn any fancy barista tricks — you get perfectly frothed milk every time.
Prime Big Deal Days has thrown plenty of espresso maker deals at us this year. We’re getting everything from simple Keurigs to elaborate machines like this Philips 3300. I’m strongly considering buying the Philips 3300 and upgrading my coffee routine. A real pulled shot made from fresh ground beans, frothed milk instead of Stevia — heck, I might learn how to make latte art. Check out this $250 discount on the Philips 3300 if you’re also interested, but hurry. Best Buy is ending this deal tomorrow, so we don’t have long to make up our minds.
Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.
Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.
With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.
Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
