The KitchenAid Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine is excellent — and now I think all manual machines should feature flat-bottomed porta filters

KitchenAid Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine two-minute review In a crowded market where there are so many fantastic coffee machines, the KitchenAid Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine stands out by being one of the better-looking options on the market. Not only does it look premium, but it feels it too. This machine is solidly built, and the supplied accessories including the removable bean hopper, porta filter and tamper, have a decent amount of weight to them, further adding to the overall premiumness of the machine. It’s available in a range of colors, but I feel my review unit in Porcelain (white) will be the easiest to match with kitchen decor (although I have to admit taking a fancy to the Juniper green, too). If you want to get hands-on with your coffee-making process, it makes the process easier by way of a flat-bottom porta filter that I think should become customary on all coffee machines of...

Insightly CRM review 2026

-
Image
Insightly remains a dominant force among the best CRM platforms by solving the one problem most CRMs ignore: what happens after the deal is won. While most platforms stop at that point, Insightly’s unified architecture treats project delivery as a core part of the customer relationship. With the full integration of its Copilot AI, Insightly has evolved from a passive record-keeper into an agentic assistant that helps mid-market teams automate the sales pipeline and project management without the enterprise price tag of Salesforce. At TechRadar Pro, we don't just look at features; we look at how those features survive a Tuesday morning office rush. To review Insightly, our experts tested the platform's unique post-sale workflow - converting a won deal into a live project to see if data carries over without friction. We spent 30 hours building custom pipelines and interacting with the ne...

The Onyx Boox Palma 2 Pro is the phone-sized color ereader I never knew I wanted, but it won't suit everyone

Onyx Boox Palma 2 Pro: Two-minute review The Onyx Boox Palma 2 Pro is the kind of interesting ereader innovation I want to see more of, even if the biggest appeal is still just how unusual it is. My ereader expert colleague reviewed the original Palma and the newer Palma 2 , but I have been able to use both of these devices as my main ereader, to ensure a good basis for comparison. The Palma 2 Pro takes the same pocket-friendly, phone-like form of the Palma 2 and adds a color E Ink display, more memory, Android 15, SIM support and stylus compatibility. The Palma is already somewhat of a niche ereader (and a niche we are big fans of), so these new features are quite ambitious. The 6.13-inch, 2:1 screen is still the main reason to consider the Palma. It looks and feels more like a smartphone than a typical ereader, and comes complete with a speaker, dual microphones, side buttons, a rear camera an...
