Why I love my L'Or Barista
Every morning, I wake up giddy to make my coffee. The Onyx Espresso capsules are my consistent go-to when I make my favorite salted maple iced lattes, which are perfect for warm, summer mornings, but I'm also a huge fan of the iced coffee capsules. Since I've perfected my morning caffeine routine with the L'Or Barista, I no longer feel any need to buy coffee out. In fact, I prefer making my coffee and espresso drinks at home since I can use my machine to tailor them to my mood on that given morning.
I also love how quickly the machine heats up -- a flat 25 seconds to be exact. Nothing feels worse than waiting and waiting for a coffee machine to turn on, heat up and brew up a batch of java. Mere minutes can feel like an eternity when I'm exhausted and desperate for the energy that first cup of caffeine brings me.
What comes with the system?
The Pumpkin Spice capsules are my go-to in the fall, but the iced coffee capsules are my favorite during the blistering summer months.

The L'Or Barista is a single-serve machine that uses high-pressure brewing to make both coffee and espresso beverages at home. The system can brew six different sizes of hot or iced coffee, as well as espresso.
Of course the sleek machine that's compact enough to fit on the kitchen counter is a highlight, but the capsules are also an exciting treat. Since you'll need to spend $79 or more for a free system, you can opt to taste of a variety of capsule flavors. I've tried the Caramel, Hazelnut and Le Tigre coffee capsules and numerous espresso options -- it's genuinely hard to pick a favorite.
Why this makes a great gift
At its discounted price tag (usually $199), the L'Or Barista would be a great gift for any coffee connoisseur in your life. In fact, my mom tried mine, became obsessed, and would subtly bring it up until I finally bought her one this past Christmas. The current sale would provide the perfect opportunity to get some key Father's Day or graduation shopping done (wink, wink).
Basically, this system comes with everything you need for a complete at home barista experience, while taking any hassle out of the process.

Walmart Deals of the Day: Grab Apple's Latest AirPods for Less Than $100
If you're on the hunt for some great bargains, you've come to the right place. CNET's dedicated shopping experts have years of experience tracking down the best deals out there, finding the top picks available at Walmart every single day. For today, July 31, those include a rare discount on Apple's latest AirPods 4, $70 off an enameled Carote Dutch oven and 50% off the EcoFlow power station. The AirPods 4 are the latest generation on the market, and discounts like this are rare. These earbuds are an excellent and more affordable alternative to the AirPods Pro 2 (if you prefer an open-ear design), featuring the same H2 chip with Bluetooth 5.3, plus improved sound, spatial audio support and excellent voice-call performance. Our reviewer hailed them as a "worthy upgrade" over the previous-gen AirPods 3, especially when they're on sale. Carote's 5-quart Dutch oven is perfect for broiling, braising, baking, roasting and more, making it an essential for any kitchen. It's seriously versatile and can be used on gas, electric and induction stovetops, as well as in the oven. The pot combines the excellent heat retention and distribution of cast iron with an enameled coating that's great for more delicate ingredients, like fish or eggs. Plus, the lid has self-basting stalactites that help prevent your dishes from drying out while they cook. EcoFlow makes some of the best portable power stations, and this Walmart-exclusive Lite model is now half off. It has a 950Wh battery capacity, enough to charge your phone over 80 times or power a speaker for more than 50 hours. It also boasts a 1,800W output, so it can handle some larger appliances, making it a great option for power outages and emergencies. With 15 AC, USB and DC inputs, the unit can power multiple devices simultaneously, and it can be charged up to 80% in less than an hour.

Today Is Your Last Chance to Save Over 50% Off EcoFlow Power Stations and Solar Panels
Whether it's a summer of camping, RV trips or you want a backup power supply at home in case of emergencies, portable power stations and solar panels can be an essential. But that doesn't mean they're always affordable -- a whole house backup system can set you back thousands of dollars. But right now, EcoFlow, a brand that consistently holds a spot on our best power station list, is having a massive flash sale, with some items discounted by as much as 58%. It's also worth keeping in mind that EcoFlow offers the best discounts to members. Membership is free, but it does require you entering your email address. Among the many bargains on the site, you can snap up the EcoFlow Delta Pro portable power station for just $1,799, which is a pretty dramatic $1,900 discount. The Delta Pro offers 3.6Wh at its base, but is expandable up to 25Wh with the addition of extra battery packs. It offers a 3600 watt AC output which increases to a max of 7200 watts with additional batteries. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. At 51% off it's hard to find a better price. If you are dead-set on not setting up a membership, you'll still save. The non-member price is $1,999. Add a 400 watt solar panel to the package and what would ordinarily cost you $4,898 will be $2.169. You can also consider the EcoFlow Delta Pro bundle which includes two 220-watt solar panels and a free carrying bag, on sale for $2.399. That's over half off, as the regular price is $4.997. This sale offers you the chance to invest in a portable power station, or if you have one already, add on battery packs and solar panels at a discount. Why this deal matters From portable power stations for road trip adventures to whole-house backup systems, it's not hard to drop a lot of money up front. Saving as much as (or in some cases more than) half off on top-rated backup power solutions is never a bad idea.

Galaxy Z Fold 7 Breaks Record for Highest Number of Fold Preorders
Samsung's latest foldables are already making quite a statement, beyond their bold new designs -- or maybe because of them. The phone-maker said in a newsroom post Thursday that the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is its thinnest foldable yet, racked up more preorders "than any previous Z Fold device in US history." It added that both the Z Fold 7 and the Z Flip 7 saw a more than 25% hike in total preorders compared with last year's handsets. Carriers also saw an uptick in sales. Samsung says there was a nearly 60% jump in preorders for both phones cumulatively, compared with last year. In a statement, it added, "In-store shoppers are taking advantage of getting their hands on the devices, with thin, light and compact designs, as well as camera improvements being among the top interest drivers." Watch this: Galaxy Z Fold 7 Review: Samsung Finally Nailed the Foldable 07:14 A CNET survey from June found that 30% of people list the camera as a top consideration when upgrading their phone. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 packs an impressive 200-megapixel main camera, which can serve up images on par with those from the top-of-the-line Galaxy S25 Ultra. It's a significant milestone for Samsung, but also for foldable and thin phones overall, since cameras tend to take a hit due to hardware limitations. But Samsung worked around that by developing smaller, more advanced components for both the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and its skinny predecessor, the Galaxy S25 Edge, which came out in May. Not surprisingly, another top consideration when buying a new phone, according to CNET's survey, is price. The $2,000 sticker on the Z Fold 7, which is $100 higher than last year's model, is likely to be a deterrent for many shoppers -- though it clearly hasn't stopped the phone from breaking early sales records. The Z Flip 7 also comes at a rather hefty $1,100, though this year Samsung also introduced the slightly cheaper Z Fold 7 FE, which starts at $900. It's not just preorders for the Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 that saw a spike. Even after general availability for the phones kicked off on July 25, Samsung says, "momentum for both devices remain strong, with orders continuing to outpace the previous generation by more than 25%." The Z Fold 7 is also outperforming sales of last year's model by around 50% since it hit store shelves, according to the company. A fresh form factor brings fresh excitement The sleeker build of both foldables, particularly the Z Fold 7, can help entice new buyers who are hesitant about switching to a new form factor. In another CNET survey from earlier this month, 15% of respondents who don't own a foldable say it's because they're too bulky. The Z Fold 7 helps to remedy that with its slim profile, which measures 8.9mm thick when closed and 4.2mm when open. That, along with a wider 6.5-inch cover screen, makes it feel as close to a standard slate phone as possible and places it in the same camp as other thin foldables from Chinese companies like Honor, Oppo and Huawei. "Foldables have reached an inflection point as they are becoming a mainstream choice for users," Drew Blackard, Samsung's senior vice president of mobile product management, said in a statement. "Now, on our seventh generation, we've addressed consumer feedback year after year and have arrived at the kind of experience you can't get on any other device. When people go hands-on with a Z series device, they're hooked -- and now it's all coming together with record-breaking numbers." In an exclusive interview with CNET ahead of the launch of the new phones, Blackard expressed similar sentiments, noting that, "There's no longer that trade-off of, 'Well, do I want a traditional bar-type smartphone, or a foldable?'" He added, "You'll kind of get the best of both worlds." Samsung added that although black is usually the top color choice for Z Fold users, blue shadow made up about half of Z Fold 7 preorders. (I tested the blue shadow version myself and found the color to be a good balance between eye-catchingly bold and practically subtle, thanks to its deeper hue.) The coral red version of the Z Flip 7 "has also beat expectations," Samsung said, making up 25% of preorders for that phone. "These trends are remaining steady through the first week of availability," the company added. This all comes as Apple reportedly plans to launch its own foldable next year. The iPhone maker hasn't confirmed or shared any details, but that hasn't stopped the rumor mill from churning. A report from JPMorgan earlier this week notes that the first foldable iPhone is expected to launch in September 2026 and could cost $1,999. Apple is reportedly teaming up with Samsung Display to create a crease-free display.
