Take on the toughest mornings with this discounted Ninja hot/cold brew system

Getting out of bed some mornings might require the help of an army. That challenge might be easier to face with a Ninja coffee maker on your side, though, especially the Ninja Hot and Cold Brewed System. Amazon is about to make getting your hands on this ninja a whole lot easier, offering a 22% discount, lowering the price from its normal $230 to a much more palatable $180.

The Ninja Hot and Cold Brew Coffee Maker gives you the option of brewing either coffee or tea, in cold and hot brew varieties. True connoisseurs will tell you that cold and hot brewing provide completely different taste profiles, though first thing in the morning, it might be tougher to tell the difference. Six separate brew sizes will ensure you have just enough coffee to meet your needs, whether it’s a small cup for those sunny days or a much larger one for the worst of winter.

A fold-away frother allows you access to cafe-style frothed milk to round out your coffee of choice, and an included thermal carafe helps keep your brew — whatever brew it happens to be — the right temperature longer. Separate baskets for coffee and tea allow easy beverage fixing without accidental intermingling.

Perhaps best of all, there’s no call for pods here; you’ll be able to use loose tea and ground coffee as you see fit. The system will even recognize the individual baskets involved and present options accordingly, so if you’ve filled and slotted the coffee basket, you’ll have access to the full range of coffee choices the device can produce.

The Ninja Hot and Cold Brew Coffee Maker actually made our “Best Last Minute Smart Home Gifts of 2018” list, so whether you’re looking at an early Father’s Day gift, a late Mother’s Day gift, a graduation present, or you’re planning ahead for summer — even if we just got spring started — the Ninja is certainly one to have in your corner. It’s available on Amazon for 22% off normal pricing, going from its normal $230 to $180 for a limited time.

The gaming laptop deals of the holiday season aren't over yet, as there are still some excellent offers, such as Dell's discount for the Alienware m16 R2 with the Nvidia RTX 4070. From its original price of $2,600, the machine is down to $2,100. It's still pretty expensive, but it's actually a steal at that price, and the $500 in savings is huge. You're going to have to be quick in completing your purchase though, as there's no information on how much time is remaining before this bargain expires.

Why you should buy the Alienware m16 R2 gaming laptop
We highlighted the Alienware m16 R2's great gaming performance in our review of the gaming laptop, and this configuration that's on sale comes with the mighty Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card. Combined with the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor and 64GB of RAM, which doubles the recommended specification from our guide on how much RAM do you need, the Alienware m16 R2 won't have trouble running the best PC games at their highest settings. It's going to be ready for the upcoming PC games of the next few years as well -- it will be a while before you need to start thinking about making any upgrades.
