I test over a dozen of the best coffee makers every year, but sometimes you just can't beat a good pour-over β and a large part of that comes down to the dripper you use. Lots of factors can change the way your coffee tastes (grind size, ratio of coffee to water, water quality, and temperature being just a few), but the design of your dripper has a big impact as well.
For example, the size of the opening at the bottom affects the flow rate, the material (plastic, glass, metal, or ceramic) determines heat retention, and channels on the inside of the brewer can channel water over the whole bed of coffee.
Also bear in mind that different brewers take different filters, some of which are easier to find than others, or cost more. With all that in mind, here are 15 of the best coffee drippers to level up your brewing, with prices starting under $25.
If you've been checking the weather forecast, you'll have noticed that the temperature is set to rise again next week. It might not reach the scorching highs of 40C, but much of the UK is still going to be hot and sticky, so it's wise to grab a fan before stock flies off the virtual shelves again.
Lots of fans completely sold out last week (some won't be back in stock until October), but there are some great deals on models from big brands if you know where to look. I've scoured the web and found six particularly good offers from reputable brands, so you don't end up settling for less than the best.
I borrowed one of these fans during the last heatwave, and it was a lifesaver. Its 'arms' can be rotated 90 degrees so it blows a sheet of cool air over your bed. I saw it selling for over Β£400 in some online stores only a week ago, so this is a great time to snap it up.View Deal
This tower fan is fantastic value at just under Β£60, and can sit neatly in the corner of your room until you need it during a heatwave. It can monitor the temperature of your room, which is particularly smart.View Deal
This app-operated smart fan is still selling for full price at Amazon, but you can get 15% off when you buy it direct from SwitchBot using the code PDDAY15. The code is applied at the checkout automatically. View Deal
Move this smart cordless fan around the house with you, and place it near an open window when the temperature drops to quickly cool the room. It's cheaper in SwitchBot's store than at Amazon with the code PDDAY15.View Deal
You can use this rechargeable smart fan anywhere, and it comes with two bases: so you can convert it into a desk fan when you're working. With Β£20 off, it's great value.View Deal
An exceptionally quiet fan for keeping your bedroom cool at night, this Philips model lets you adjust the height and angle of airflow for a targeted breeze. The discount isn't huge, but at under Β£50 I'm not going to quibble.View Deal

Looking for a deal on a Yeti cooler for your July 4th celebrations? I've got you covered. As the former editor of an outdoor adventure website, I know exactly where to look to find the best offers on Yeti gear, and I have uncovered some great deals that will arrive in time for the big day.
Amazon has some great offers, particularly on soft coolers like the Hopper Flip 8 and 12, both of which are ideal for cans or lunches. There are also big discounts on the roomier Yeti M Series, including backpack-style coolers that make carrying your food and drinks a breeze.
Want a hard cooler? Take a look at Yeti Rescues, where you can find heaps of like-new coolers approved by the company itself, and with big price cuts. It's a smart way to get a top-quality cooler for a lot less than list price. I've tested outdoor gear for years, and these price cuts are rare, so grab them while you can.
