Last year, we ran our inaugural Get Grillin' week here at Tom's Guide, and since the weather is warming up, we thought we'd bring it back for another serving. After all, you might be eyeing up one of the best grills for a summer upgrade yourself right now.

Backyard cookouts are a summer staple — after all, the season hasn't arrived until you've had your first flame-grilled hot dog. But there's a lot to consider before you fire up the propane or reach for the bag of coals.

We're going to spend this week focusing on all things grilling, sharing top tips from experts on maintenance and cooking tips and, of course, which kind of grill you should get for your needs. We'll also dive into the right gear to make the most of grilling season so you don't have to panic when the guests start to arrive.

Welcome to The Coffee Lab! I'm Erin, an ex-barista and now a professional coffee gear tester (yes, it's a real job!). I was a barista for three-and-a-half years and now have two years of testing experience under my belt. Although an oat milk flat white had been my go-to order for years, I'm more often an AeroPress or Americano drinker these days.

I know the world of coffee can be, dare I say, exclusive, so I'm on a mission to take the headache out of your daily brew. If you're a beginner, forget about WDT tools and flow rates and all that nonsense. You only need to focus on what's important: taste.

I'll help you figure out which coffee gadgets are worth your money, including espresso machines, manual coffee makers, scales, grinders, and everything in between. Here at The Coffee Lab, I'm all about making coffee accessible and easy for everyone!

I release new episodes of The Coffee Lab every Friday, so be sure to check back for each new video!

Our team attempts to test 50+ TVs each year, using comprehensive testing methodology and tools like Calman Ultimate, a Leo Bodnar 4K HDMI Video Signal Lag Tester, a Murideo 8K SIX-G pattern generator and a a Klein K10-A colorimeter, one of the fastest and most color-accurate meters on the market. We then spend as much time as we can living with each TV in our homes, watching movies and playing games on an Xbox Series X or PS5, just like you would when you buy one of these TVs off the store shelf.

Throughout the years, Tom's Guide has tested several hundred TVs in this way and the manufacturers have never — nor will they ever — have a say in Tom's Guide's unbiased reviews.

Of course, while we encourage you to spend time with each individual review on the site, you may find one of our TV buying guides to be the best place to start your search when shopping for a new screen. These guides collate all the reviews into one place and are overseen by a team of experienced editors.

While most of the TVs we test are in the U.S., we have editors located in Australia and the UK who also publish reviews from time to time. If you don't see a TV reviewed here that you're looking for more information on, send us an email and we'll try to help as best we can.
