🗣️ This is an open thread. We want to hear from you! Share your thoughts in the comments and vote in the poll below — your take might be featured in a future roundup. Even though the original company is no longer with us, I believe there are two ways to remember the BlackBerry brand. Either you grimace while recalling the final struggle of uninspired Android devices. Or, you’re like me, and smile back at the 2010s and the brand’s heyday with glee.

wired.com Julia Forbes 2025-10-03 05:09:00

We can’t talk about coffee grinders without touching on coffee makers too. I’ve had rotten luck in this arena, truth be told. I was hoping that the coffee maker I was gifted at my wedding would last a whopping 20 years, like my parents’ did, but it barely made it past my second anniversary. Upon polling friends and family and consulting WIRED tester Matthew Korfhage, the Moccamaster KBGV Select was consistently mentioned as a top pick.
