Amazon has the perfect coffee maker on sale right now for student dorms, apartments, and small living spaces. It’s called the Keurig K-Mini, and it’s a single-serve K-Cup or pod-based brewing machine that makes up to three different cup sizes of coffee. Amazon is offering it for $30 off right now, at $80 total with free Prime shipping and free returns. You can grab it in either the black or white models for that price, your choice.

If you’re not looking for one of the more eccentric ways to get your coffee fix, and you don’t have a lot of space to work with, the Keurig K-Mini is the perfect option.

The removable drip tray comes out so you can fit a travel mug if you want to fill one of those instead. You can also use a K-Cup universal coffee filter to brew your own ground coffee, but you’ll  have to get that attachment separately.

The 11 best Sean Connery movies of all time
These films starring the Scottish actor rise above the rest
best sean connery movies ranked seanconnery1

Connery leans on the classic Bond Aston Martin on the set of Goldfinger.
If you're too young to remember the hype around Sean Connery, ask your parents or grandparents what it was like to be a movie fan during his era of stardom. There wasn't a person on the planet who didn't immediately think of Connery when listing the actors with the biggest screen presence. But what is it that makes this man so incredibly iconic? Could it be because he never changes his voice for movies because “the emotions should be the same, internationally”? Perhaps it’s because of his unique Scottish accent that any novice impersonator is sure to try and mimic. All we know for sure is: Connery’s James Bond is -- for an overwhelming majority -- the best and most memorable of all 007 iterations in history.
Though his big on-screen break was as the devilishly handsome and smooth secret agent, real fans know that Sean Connery was much more than that. Besides being a respectful, earnest, and successful actor, Connery spent his first 25 years -- starting at the age of 7 -- working manual labor jobs and eventually joining the Royal Navy at 16. Truly a man of many hidden talents, he also took dance lessons for 11 years, was offered a soccer contract with Manchester United, and also spent time working as a nude model for art students after being honorably discharged from the military.
There are so many reasons to love the late, great Sir Sean Connery, but we are here to praise him for his most memorable on-screen performances. Yes, James Bond will, of course, be mentioned, but we also bring out the later films in his career that made him so much himself. So mix yourself a vodka martini “shaken, not stirred” and help us celebrate the shining star that was Sean Connery.

The best James Bond books by Ian Fleming
Want the thrill of adventure from the safety of your couch? Then crack open any of these James Bond books

We all have our favorite version of the iconic British secret agent that is Bond, James Bond. But before we thank Connery or Craig for their on-screen portrayals of the spy, we need to bow to Ian Fleming, a naval intelligence officer turned novelist who gained literary acclaim for being the author of the James Bond books.

He wrote “thrillers designed to be read as literature” and, while publishing over a dozen books, cracked open a world of exotic adventure, ultimate babes, gadgets, and gear, ultimately shaping the spy genre as we know it. When you want to dive into the thrill and adventure of working for the MI6 - while in your pjs on the couch - we've put together a list of Ian Fleming’s best James Bond books, and what makes them live and let die.
