Every now and then, a single coffee or espresso machine seems to dominate the conversation around what an accessible home device can do. Over the past year in home espresso machines, the device that best represents that same sweet spot in the Venn diagram is likely the Breville Oracle Jet, a handsome and unapologetically luxe touchscreen machine with a built-in grinder that makes genuinely delicious cups of espresso. This doesn't mean the Oracle Jet machine is perfect, or universally admired. It's a touchscreen machine, one whose operation will be intuitive for anyone who can figure out a Kindle or an iPad. Within 20 minutes of unboxing the Oracle Jet, you can find yourself nose-deep in a foamy cappuccino—without even bothering to crack the printed manual.
