"Kayla Solino/ZDNET I'm from the northeast, and I live by a cup of Dunkin'. There's really nothing better to me than the convenience of no-fuss, no-frills coffee from the orange-and-pink chain, but as I inch closer to 30, I've become more interested in maintaining and upscaling my favorite treats in the comfort of my own home."
"Also: The 13 most useful smart home devices I saw at CES 2026 (and would buy if I could) When the opportunity arose to try the Meraki espresso machine , my interest was piqued. Elevating my coffee experience sounded like a great idea, and what better way to do it than with a top-notch option? This dual-boiler machine hit well over $1 million on Kickstarter when it initially launched a year ago. Since then, it has won a 2025 Red Dot award for kitchen design and a 2025 iF Design Award. With all the praise already surrounding this machine, I had high expectations."
