It’s fairly pricey considering it doesn’t include an oven and/or grill. And it looks good in all-silver, but it’s not the poshest looking microwave in town. Instead it differentiates itself with unusual controls designed for keen cooks. This dual-system approach give the Oracle the ability to handle making drinks in a very intuitive way. In other words, you don’t have to head to the milk frother to make an Americano.

You could save some money by buying Sage’s Dual Boiler espresso machine along with a separate grinder, but the Oracle is a far neater solution. First, the machine’s large water reservoir sits at the rear of the machine, but a flip-up flap means that you can refill it without moving the machine at all. Cleaning the Duo Temp Pro Espresso Machine is also very easy. It is equipped with features like a ‘Full’ indicator light that tells you when the removable drip tray needs emptying. There’s also an inbuilt scale filter in the water tank to reduce scale build up and the unit also comes with a cleaning kit. So while it’s not automatic, you are given the tools to keep it clean.

The smart defrost program only works with particular types of food, so instead we did a timer defrost. It took just over a minute and was visibly ready as it was starting to inflate. The pitta bread came out warm but not cooked and it was impressively not soggy, compared with other microwaves. It tasted surprisingly fresh. Historic Heston Cookbook (1ed.).
