Best of the best

The Oracle Touch

looks like a barista-

operated machine,

it produces coffee

like one, yet all the

clever stuff – dosing,

tamping, extraction,

milk texturing, is done

for you. Not cheap –

but amazing.

£1,999, sageappliances.com

GAGGIA VELASCA

The espresso and

lungo that the

Velasca makes

are as good as

anything you can

buy in most coffee

shops. It produces a

reassuringly old-

fashioned, intense

flavour for your brew.

£479, gaggiadirect.com

BARISTA TOUCH

Cheaper, faster

and with better

frothed milk than

the Oracle, this may

be the better buy for

most unless being

unable to make

coffee and steam

milk at the same time

is a deal breaker.

£999, sageappliances.com

DELONGHI LA

SPECIALISTA EC9335.M

Solidly built using

swathes of brushed

stainless steel

and good quality

plastics, this

looks just like a

small version of a

professional café

espresso machine.

Dynamite coffee too.

£720, delonghi.com

MIELE K 28202 D WS

If you have the

spondoolicks and

60cm of space with

no cupboards above,

this cooler should be

top of your list. Its

clever cooling keeps

foodstuffs fresh

without humidity, and

it’s cavernous.

£875, miele.co.uk

BOSCH SERIE 2 CLASSIXX

KSV29NW3PG

Looking for a mid-

sized larder fridge

that doesn’t cost

the Earth, provides

plenty of food

storage space, cools

quickly and is cheap

to run? Consider this

efficient and well-

made Bosch.

£643, bosch-home.co.uk

LIEBHERR TP 1760 PREMIUM

Arguably the only

A+++ rated under-

counter model on

the UK market.

Despite its diminutive

exterior, inside it’s

like the Albert Hall,

a chilled Tardis with

two separate salad/

veg drawers.

£489, home.leibherr.com

RUSSELL HOBBS RHTTLF1

This A+ rated, 43-litre

counter-top fridge

is perfect for studio

flats, bedsits, student

digs and mobile

homes. For its size,

this dinky chiller

provides surprisingly

ample estate for

most solo needs.

£75, russellhobbs.com

NEFF N 70 B57CR22N0B

The unique Slide and

Hide door is brilliant,

the touchscreen is

handy and the oven’s

no slouch: it enables

you to cook multiple

dishes without that

unfortunate cross-

contamination from

strong flavours.

£789, neff.co.uk

BOSCH SERIE 8 HBG634BS1B

A great all-rounder,

with a dedicated pizza

cooking function, this

is easy to use, easy

to clean, and has a

simple touch display.

A fan constantly

circles heat around

the interior for

even cooking.

£729, bosch-home.co.uk

MIELE H7164BP

Reliable and easy to

operate, this model

comes with plenty

of features that are

going to appeal – like

its Moisture Plus tech

for getting perfect

‘bake off’ results. You

can even control it

from your phone.

£1,300, miele.co.uk

ZANUSSI ZOD35660XK

This electric double

oven is a fine choice

if you’re looking for

plenty of cooking

capacity and some

really useful features

on top, like even

heat distribution,

automatic switch-off

and a bright display.

£399, zanussi.co.uk
