I’ve been using ExpressVPN and NordVPN for more than a decade, and have been consistently impressed with the exceptional quality of both services and how consistently each one has improved over the years. They're two of the best VPNs in the industry and are neck-and-neck in virtually every category in which they compete, which makes comparing the two both easy and challenging.

ExpressVPN review: One of the fastest VPNs we've tested

June Wan/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways ExpressVPN The servers are optimized for global geo-restrictions and fast bandwidth connections without giving up safety. Slight connection delays are noticeable when switching servers, and the VPN is still relatively overpriced. ExpressVPN is one of the best virtual private networks (VPNs) to ever exist.

In theory, you'd like your espresso machine to contain everything you need to make good coffee, including a grinder for fresh beans. But in practice, this hasn't always been the case.

That situation is changing fast, as consumers start paying attention—and as the conventional wisdom seeps in that grinders are one of the most important components to making good coffee.
