Your dream espresso machine is on sale at Amazon for a little while longer

Mashable - Mon, 05/26/2025 - 17:17

SAVE 29%: For Memorial Day Weekend, the Breville Barista Pro espresso machine is on sale at Amazon for $599.99, down from the normal price of $849.95. That's a savings of $249.96 and the lowest price we've ever seen at Amazon.

Opens in a new window Credit: Breville Breville Barista Pro espresso machine (stainless steel) $599.99 at Amazon
$849.95 Save $249.96 Get Deal

For coffee and espresso lovers, the day doesn't really start until we've had our first cup. So, if you want to start your day right, wake yourself up in ways your alarm clock never could with a homemade espresso. Ideally, your espresso shot (or cappuccino, Americano, or iced vanilla latte) will be brewed with an intuitive machine that's easy to operate in your pre-caffeine daze. If that sounds your like your dream morning, there's a Memorial Day Weekend deal at Amazon you should check out.

As of May 26, the Breville Barista Pro espresso machine (in the stainless steel finish) is on sale at Amazon for just $599.99, marked down from the MSRP of $849.95. That's a 29% discount that shaves a massive $249.96 off the normal price. It's also the lowest price we've ever seen on this kitchen appliance at Amazon — and by $100. We first shared this deal earlier in the week while collecting the best Memorial Day Amazon deals, but with the holiday weekend about to end, the clock is ticking on this opportunity.

We get it — dropping almost $900 on an espresso machine feels a bit unreasonable. Plenty of drip coffee machines brew up a form of caffeine for about $20. But the Breville Barista Pro gives you the ability to recreate cafe drinks at home. And with today's discount, you'll be able to save almost $250. If we crunch some numbers, we'll say a latte costs $5 at your go-to chain drive-thru, which means you'll need to make just 120 lattes with the Breville to break even. Plus, there's no line, and you can stay in your pajamas.

The Breville packs in the features, and it heats up in just three seconds. From there, you'll use the built-in grinder that auto grinds with Baratza European Precision burrs to one of the 30 grind settings. The nine-bar extraction will then serve you up perfect crema on either a single or a double espresso shot, and you can top it all off with silky microfoam.

You'll get all the necessary accessories to successful become an at-home barista like like a single and double filter basket, a stainless steel milk jug, and a water filter.

While you're shopping on Memorial Day, snag the Breville Barista Pro espresso machine at Amazon before it sells out. This $599.99 sale price is the lowest we've ever seen Amazon offer, so you'll want to scoop this up before the price returns to normal. You'll be thankful you did each morning.

New leak suggests Grok 3.5 is coming soon from xAI

Mashable - Mon, 05/26/2025 - 17:00

The Grok 3.5 launch is imminent, according to references to the model spotted in some lines of code.

The latest version of Grok doesn't have an official launch date, but that could be coming any day now since mention of Grok 3.5 has been showing up in xAI's latest web build, according to TestingCatalog, which posted screenshots on X.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

The AI news site also noticed a reference to an API, and said it might also be preparing a screen-sharing feature for Grok's voice mode on iOS. This would be similar to OpenAI's voice mode with ChatGPT and Google's Gemini Live features.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

In late April, xAI founder Elon Musk posted that an early beta release of Grok 3.5 would be available to SuperGrok subscribers, starting the countdown for a wider release. More recently, Musk commented on an X post about Grok 3.5, saying it would excel at "reasoning from first principles (truth)," suggesting the new version will have stronger reasoning capabilities.

The model as touted as an "unfiltered" model compared to others that have more safety guardrails. Recently, that backfired with a bug that kept mentioning "white genocide" in South Africa" in response to completely unrelated queries.

The current model, Grok 3, is comparable to rivals with image generation, research, and everyday use, but Grok 3.5 could be a step-up in coding abilities, where it currently lags behind models like Gemini and Claude, according to Bleeping Computer.

Keep an eye out for a Grok 3.5, which could be ship in the near future. When it does, we'll know how Musk's latest model stacks up to its rivals.

Ruggable is (if we’re being honest) pretty expensive. But for what you’re getting: machine-washable rugs that are both stylish and functional, especially for households with children or pets, they're worth the price for a lot of shoppers. In our experience, particularly with their newer and more premium options, they've really stepped up.

If you’ve been eyeing the Ruggable website for a good deal, you might want to check Amazon. Right now, you can get up to 15% off select Ruggable rugs, including those from the popular Jonathan Adler collection. According to price tracker CamelCamelCamel, most of the rugs included in the sale are now at their lowest-ever price at Amazon, while others are at their lowest price since 2023 or earlier.

As part of the Amazon Memorial Day sale, you can find a huge selection of Ruggable rugs on sale, and in virtually every size.

Mashable has reviewed Ruggable rugs favorably in the past, and we appreciate the cushioned pads that make them feel comfy underfoot. "The premium 7-millimeter rug cover was plush, well-designed, and actually looked like a high-quality, durable rug," RJ Andersen writes in their review for Mashable. "The pattern was exactly what we wanted, and it was much easier to align with the cushioned rug pad than our first experience."

Apples new HomePod with a display might arrive by the end of 2025

Mashable - Mon, 05/26/2025 - 14:41

Apple's new HomePod will have a display, and it might arrive later this year.

This is according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman (via 9to5Mac), who claims that the device will launch "by the end of this year," though he admits that the timing is uncertain.

The new device will be a smart home speaker with an added display (a 7-inch one, previous rumors claim), that should one day become a centerpiece of Apple's smart home tech. Other features, per previous reports, includes support for Apple Intelligence, a camera, smart home controls, and a rechargeable battery. While the device will have a built-in speaker, Apple will likely position it as a smart hub instead of just a home speaker.

This new gadget was originally slated to launch in 2024, but numerous delays pushed the launch further into the future.

According to Gurman, the main culprit behind the delays has been Apple's smart assistant Siri. Once a pioneer in the space, Apple has been struggling to bring its AI assistant close to the levels offered by competitors, including OpenAI's ChatGPT, and Google's Gemini.

When the HomePod-with-a-display finally launches, it could be the first of several AI-centric devices Apple plans to produce further down the line. This includes a more futuristic version with a robotic arm; Gurman now claims we can expect it "a year or two" after the first one hits the market.

You can even set up to three touch controls on each bud, and use the "find device" feature to keep track of them.

With a quilted Euro Top, the DreamCloud Premier Hybrid mattress starts off with a comfortable but supportive feel that'll help lull you into sleep. The other four layers are comprised of memory foams for pressure relief and individually wrapped innerspring coils for great support. DreamCloud considers the Premier Hybrid to have a medium-firm feel, and the coils are designed to help minimize motion transfer, which can be great if you share the bed with a partner or the dog.

In a queen size, the DreamCloud Premier Hybrid usually sells for $2,330, but thanks to the brand's Memorial Day sale, you can snag it for just $949.

Memorial Day tends to be a huge day of deals for mattresses and home goods, but those are certainly not the only categories seeing major discounts. TVs of all shapes and sizes are also getting the deal treatment this holiday weekend, making it a particularly good time to upgrade.

Many of the new releases from CES 2025 are officially on shelves, and some of those are even seeing some big price drops. Or if you prefer to stay securely in budget TV territory, you can find a surprising number of 65-inch TVs on sale for under $400 at Amazon. We're tracking all the best Memorial Day TV deals at the three major tech retailers: Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. It's possible new deals will drop as we roll into the weekend, so we'll refresh this list with anything that catches our eye.

Best Memorial Day TV deal TCL 55-Inch QM6K QLED 4K TV $498 at Amazon
$799.99 Save $301.99 Get Deal Why we like it

Just announced at CES 2025 and released in March, the TCL QM6K QLED 4K TV is already shaping up to be one of our favorite TVs of 2025. For a TV in its price range, it gets seriously bright. CNET (also owned by Ziff Davis) took it for a spin and also noted that its detailed shadows during darker movies clearly stood out compared to the similarly priced Roku Pro. It's not as impressive as its more expensive sibling, the QM8, but ultimately, CNET summed up: "For the money, the TCL QM6K has some of the best picture quality, including great black levels, for an LCD-based TV." The QM6K has already seen some impressive discounts since its release, but this is the first time the 55-inch model has dropped this low.

Amazon always comes through with some big TV deals during big shopping events, and TCL is usually leading the way. That's certainly the case for Memorial Day Weekend, with this 27% off deal on a TCL QLED Fire TV. Most budget TVs on sale right now offer basic LED displays, but this 65-incher lets you enjoy pristine QLED-powered visuals without leaving budget territory. It's also a relatively new 2024 model. This TV is powered by Amazon's Fire TV OS, so you'll have full access to your favorite streaming apps (if you have a subscription, of course).
