As Taste Recipes<\/em>'s shopping content director, I see a lot of pitches for so-called smart kitchen appliances. From toasters with touchscreens that end up covered with buttery fingerprints to WiFi-enabled fridges that mysteriously eat up a portion of your monthly data plan, I've found few smart products that live up to the hype. So, when Breville sent me their latest espresso machine\u2014a device with a giant digital touchscreen that asked for a WiFi password upon setup\u2014I was skeptical. Was this espresso-maker-turned-computer-hybrid really going to improve my morning coffee routine?<\/p>\r\n

As it turns out, this smart espresso maker is incredibly impressive. After nearly three months of testing\u2014and at least one software update\u2014the Breville Oracle Jet<\/a> has replaced my previous espresso maker and even caused me to forgo my beloved local coffee shops because the coffee I make at home is that<\/em> much better.<\/p>\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"I Tried It\" product_name=\"Breville Oracle Jet\" short_description=\"This smart espresso maker blew me away with its performance.\" image=\"2121945\" pr_name=\"Breville\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.breville.com%2Fen-us%2Fproduct%2Fbes985\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on Breville\" retailers_2_name=\"Sur la Table\" retailers_2_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1\" retailers_2_display_text=\"Shop on Sur la Table\" retailers_3_name=\"Williams Sonoma\" retailers_3_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.williams-sonoma.com%2Fproducts%2Fbreville-oracle-jet-espresso-machine%2F%3FcatalogId%3D79%26sku%3D2662095%26cm_ven%3DPLA%26cm_cat%3DGoogle%26cm_pla%3DElectrics%2520%253E%2520Espresso%2520Machines%26cm_ite%3D2662095_14571727833_pla-1830762825772%26gad_source%3D1%26gclid%3DEAIaIQobChMIiY-v8KPhiAMV3QZ7Bx1Q3xLnEAQYASABEgJiSvD_BwE\" retailers_3_display_text=\"Shop on Williams Sonoma\" \/]\r\n

What is the Breville Oracle Jet espresso machine?<\/h2>\r\n\"Breville\r\n

Introduced in the fall of 2024, Breville's newest espresso maker is an all-in-one machine that's programmed to make over a dozen different espresso or tea-based beverages and counting with the push of a button. It arrives with pre-programmed favorites like espressos, lattes, cappuccinos, Americanos, cold brew and tea\u2014plus more creative options like shakeratos, babyccinos and even espresso martinis. (Breville has pushed software updates to the machine to add more pre-programmed drinks, thus the need for WiFi.)<\/p>\r\n

The high-definition touchscreen guides you step by step, offering customizable controls to suit your preferences. What's most impressive is the \"Barista Assist\" feature, which alerts you to potential mistakes\u2014like using the wrong grind size if your espresso takes too long to extract. I found this fussy at first but quickly realized that the machine's recommendations did improve the taste of my espresso shots.<\/p>\r\n

Yes, it's yet another \"smart\" product, but Breville's has figured out a way to make its futurist features truly useful: brewing the perfect espresso. It feels like having an expert barista assisting you with every cup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
