Get My Favorite Coffee and Espresso System for Free Just in Time for Father's Day
I consider myself quite the coffee savant. One doesn't simply drink four to five cups a day and have a Lorelai Gilmore-esque need for coffee without becoming a savant. When I was an undergraduate student, I bought coffee at the on-campus cafe daily. And whenever I travel, discovering the best coffeehouse is at the top of my to-do list. Needless to say, I've had my fair share of coffee shop experiences -- and yet, I now prefer to drink coffee at home.
The main reason for this change is the L'Or Barista coffee and espresso system, which is currently free when you order $79 worth of coffee capsules.
L'Or is running several other promotions on its coffee and systems, such as 10% capsule orders, so take advantage before these deals disappear soon. Plus, you can grab the L'Or system and frother bundle for $50 off in all colors.
I bought my mom this system for Christmas and we've both become L'Or evangelists. With this deal, it's not a bad time to gift your caffeine-loving dad (or yourself -- I won't judge) my all-time favorite coffee and espresso system just in time for Father's Day.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
Why I love my L'Or Barista
The Pumpkin Spice capsules are my go-to in the fall, but the iced coffee capsules are my favorite during the summer months.

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 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.
The sleek machine, which is compact enough to fit on a 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 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 for 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.

Trump Administration Blocks California EV Rules, Threatens Higher Tariffs
The Trump administration officially blocked a rule in California that would have banned the sale of purely gas-powered cars in the state starting in 2035. On Thursday, the president signed joint resolutions of Congress—effectively serving as a federal law to revoke California's policy. The president also threatened to raise automotive tariffs in the near future as a way to increase domestic auto manufacturing. On Thursday, President Trump signed joint resolutions of Congress that block California's attempt to ban the sale of purely gas-powered cars in its state. Allowed to stand, the California rule would have required that electric cars make up progressively larger shares of new car sales each year—until 2035, at which point the sale of new internal-combustion cars would be banned—though, under CAFE, plug-in hybrids would continue to be allowed. Justin Sullivan | Getty Images By signing the joint resolutions of Congress, which were passed by a Republican majority in May, Trump reversed the Biden administration's previous approval of the California law. According to a report by , Trump, speaking at the signing event, called the plan a "disaster" and said it would "effectively abolish the internal combustion engine, which most people prefer." The resolutions also revoke two other California clean-air policies—one requiring half of all new trucks sold in the state to be electric by 2035 and the other limiting the amount of nitrogen oxide cars and trucks emit. In addition to signing the joint resolutions, the president also threatened to increase U.S. automotive tariffs from their current 25 percent. The president said raising auto tariffs from their current level could provide more protection for the domestic auto industry. "I might go up with that tariff in the not too distant future," Trump said. "The higher you go, the more likely it is they build a plant here." The latest threat comes roughly a week after the president increased tariffs on foreign aluminum and steel to 50 percent, further increasing pressure on automakers. Jack Fitzgerald Associate News Editor Jack Fitzgerald's love for cars stems from his as yet unshakable addiction to Formula 1. After a brief stint as a detailer for a local dealership group in college, he knew he needed a more permanent way to drive all the new cars he couldn't afford and decided to pursue a career in auto writing. By hounding his college professors at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, he was able to travel Wisconsin seeking out stories in the auto world before landing his dream job at Car and Driver. His new goal is to delay the inevitable demise of his 2010 Volkswagen Golf. Read full bio

FTC Weighs Political Neutrality Pledge for Ad Agency Mega-Merger
Omnicom Group Inc. and Interpublic Group have discussed with US antitrust officials not withholding online advertising for political reasons as a possible condition for winning approval to form the world's biggest advertising agency, according to people familiar with the matter. The unusual merger stipulation was floated in recent discussions between company representatives and officials with the US Federal Trade Commission, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the discussions are private. In December, Omnicom announced its intent to buy Interpublic.
