I've got a constant queue of coffee makers waiting to be tested in my kitchen, but if I could only have one, I'd have to go for a Breville. My machine of choice (when I'm not reviewing the best espresso machines) is the Breville Touch Impress, but when I heard that the brand was releasing the Breville Oracle Jet, a souped-up new machine with cold-brewing capabilities, I knew I had to try it for myself.
Released to American audiences in August, and for European shoppers (where it's called the Sage Oracle Jet) in early October, the Breville Oracle Jet is one of the brand's more expensive machines, coming in at $2,000 (or £1,700) and featuring an ultra high-res touchscreen and too many user-friendly features to count. This machine makes so many thoughtful fixes to common espresso machine problems that it's actually hard to know where to start listing them all.
