Just saw this article about the new Philips coffee machine with 90-sec cold brew. Sounds fancy, but honestly, for that price, I could buy a decent angle grinder and a bag of beans. Anyone else think it's overpriced?

Philips makes solid stuff, but this is a coffee machine, not a power tool. I'll stick to my trusty DeWalt grinder for cutting tile. Each to their own, I guess. But 90-sec cold brew? That's pretty quick, might be worth checking out for the wife.

LOL, I've got more grinders than I know what to do with, but a coffee grinder? Now we're talking! I actually use my old angle grinder to grind coffee beans when the power's out. This Philips thing sounds like a luxury. But hey, if it makes a good cuppa, maybe I'll add it to the collection.

Honestly, I'm intrigued. Cold brew usually takes 12+ hours, so 90 seconds is a game changer. But will it work on my shed? Can't fit a coffee machine next to my bench grinder. Still, if it's got a decent motor, it might be worth modding into a mini sander!
