Oracle touch was postponed because it costs an absurd so I am thinking about going with a drip coffee maker.
I have a KA personal coffee maker that is perfect, the problem is that it's too small for my morning needs and I don't want to brew 3 times I a row, too much hassle.
I also have a Ninja Coffee Bar. I hate that thing more than anything. If I could, I'd drop it from the top of WTC only to see it breaking in zillions of pieces.
Years ago, I had a Philips Café Gourmet coffee maker that was beyond perfect. It boiled all the water first and then released all at once. It was amazing, coffee was HOT and bold.
I'm somewhat inclined to get the Breville, based o my experience with other Breville products that performed way beyond my expectations. Expensive, but worth every cent. HOWEVER it scares.me.because all reviews say it is Gold Cup whatever crap and people seem to be very happy because it doesn't scorch the grounds. For a Brazilian that's BS. So much work roasting (incinerating) the beans to achieve that wonderful and perfectly balanced bitterness and then brew it in lukewarm water and end up with a cup of dirty water that tastes like pee. The idea of buying the Breville only to discover it's another coffee maker that makes warm coffee scares me.
Kitchenaid, on the other hand, had the syphon coffee maker. No doubt the coffee gets REALLY hot, but there are two negative points: 1) it was discontinued, but its still available on Amazon (ok, almost $100 cheaper than the Breville) and 2) it looks extremely fragile and I'm afraid it can break soon.
I also saw a third option, a Delonghi 3x1 specialty brewer. It works somewhat like the Café Gourmet, but the first thing I noticed and hated was the portafilter INSIDE the carafe, so it's a pain to use if you make big batches.
I drink average 1 liter of coffee every morning, and then sometimes make another half liter or 1 liter by the afternoon.
Does anybody here have the precision brewer by Breville? Opinions please.
Oh, and regarding espresso, later I'll buy a cheaper Breville model. I've read too many complaints about the Oracle Touch that I mentioned in other thread.
