What the testers found
TechRadar rated it 5 out of 5, the same as the Oracle Jet. It grinds and doses, helps you tamp with a lever, and froths dairy or plant milk on its own. What you give up, per TechRadar's Oracle Jet review: "it lacks the cold brew and cold espresso options and the digital display just isn't quite as swift." Tom's Guide's Oracle Jet reviewer owns a Touch Impress and found the Jet "doesn't quite beat my Touch Impress at making barista-quality steamed milk hands-free."
