Breville Oracle Jet Espresso Machine is Oprah’s Favorite for 2025

The Breville Oracle Jet Espresso Machine is the kind of device that makes you want to wear linen pajamas, cue up Chet Baker, and pretend your kitchen is a hidden cafe in Paris where everyone communicates with their eyes. And Oprah agrees.

I’ve written about Breville’s espresso machines for years, covering every price drop, holiday sale, and Amazon lightning deal, and let me tell you, this one is different.

At its core, the Breville Oracle Jet Espresso Machine is a dual-boiler, semi-automatic espresso system that takes the guesswork out of café-level coffee. It automatically grinds, doses, and tamps each shot with precision, while its steam wand delivers silky microfoam worthy of latte art (no barista training required). With customizable temperature, milk texture, and shot volume settings, it caters to both purists and perfectionists. The stainless-steel design and user-friendly touchscreen make it as stunning as it is smart — the pinnacle of Breville’s espresso innovation.

So, now, I understand why Oprah herself just put the Oracle Jet on her Favorite Things 2025 list. It’s not just a machine; it’s a full-scale espresso ritual that practically eradicates the need for a cafe. Setting it up is easy and satisfying, and watching it work is hypnotic.

It grinds, doses, tamps, froths, and serves with the same amount of muscle exertion from you as it takes for you to rub your sleepy eyes in the morning. You can hear the engineering confidence in every sound — the low hum, the soft hiss, the gentle click that signals perfection. And it is perfection.
