Starbucks is great and all, but does anyone really have time to wait in that line every morning?

Make your own barista-style coffee at home with the Nespresso Inissia Espresso Machine, which is $83 off today. Yeah, we’re freaking out too.

Skipping Starbucks and its line in the morning initially seemed like a time-saver — until you realize your home coffee maker produces java as hot as lava and you have to wait ten minutes anyway. Isn’t this supposed to be the future?

Conservative internet dudes are smashing their Keurig coffee brewers to take a political stand, and reader, they might just be on to something. 

It’s definitely not the point they’re trying to make, but it’s a point all the same. Keurig machines and the coffee pods they squirt hot water through are extremely bad — for the planet, for consumers, and evidently for Sean Hannity’s Fox News program, from which the java giant pulled advertising this weekend. 

Some quick background on this mess: Hannity’s in the spotlight for playing nice with Roy Moore, a Senate candidate accused of pursuing relationships with teenagers while he was in his 30s. In response to a tweet from Angelo Carusone, the president of Media Matters for America, Keurig said it removed ads from Hannity’s show. Read more…
