Kit out your kitchen with these must-have appliances

Whether you want superb tasting coffee at the touch of a button, or prefer to tweak settings and customise the perfect brew with onscreen guidance, Breville’s Oracle Jet provides the best of both worlds.

Available in three décor-complementing colours – Black Truffle, Sea Salt, and Stainless Steel – the first thing that stands out is the colour HD touchscreen with Barista Guidance to help you get your cuppa just right. It even has a dark mode and animated graphics, and Wi-Fi connection keeps you updated.

The Oracle Jet’s integrated precision conical grinder – utilising Baratza European precision burrs with 45 grind settings – automatically grinds, doses, and tamps 22 grams of coffee straight into the 58mm pro-style portafilter.

There are presets for ten popular brews, too: flat white, latte, cappuccino, espresso, long black/Americano, babyccino, hot chocolate, tea, cold brew, and cold espresso. Plus, auto MilQ hands-free milk steaming with alternative milk settings adds to the user-friendliness.

If you’re a coffee lover that likes to get hands-on barista-style, De’Longhi’s clever La Specialista Touch’s suite of handy features will add variety to your brews.

It has a speedy heat up time plus temperature stability for espresso or cappuccino via the advanced Thermoblock system, or you can enjoy a refreshing cold brew using the cold extraction process.

A touch display provides easy guidance for 10 different recipes, and other great tools at your disposal include bean adapt tech to extract maximum flavour, as well as an integrated grinder with up to 15 grind settings.

A nifty Auto Latte Art system has two frothing modes – manual, for when you’re feeling arty, or automatic to let the machine do the work.

Plus all the basic accessories you’ll need are included – get brewing!

Sporting striking retro looks and modern functionalities, the KSM195 Mixer is a must-have appliance, and is now set to bring a ray of sunshine to your kitchen in KitchenAid’s 2025 colour of the year, ‘Butter’.

The appealing yellowy shade is meant to capture the essence of home and the joy of cooking with loved ones and joins a vast range of already available colours – there really is one to suit any décor.

As always, the ten-speed KSM195 brings more than just looks to your kitchen space. It’s packed with accessories to enable you to whip up, well, just about anything.

Two bowls are included – one 4.7l, one 2.8l – and the accessory count includes a flex edge beater, pastry beater, dough hook, wire whip, and a secure pouring shield.

The Rolls Royce of kitchen appliances – if you want the best, then the KSM195 is the one to park on your bench.

Air fryers are a great addition to a busy kitchen, cutting down on fat and saving energy dollars.

This latest entry in Philips’ impressive range ups the convenience factor in several ways, starting with its double drawer design.

A six-litre drawer is perfect for mains – it can even cook an entire 1.2kg chook – while the three-litre one is perfect for preparing sides and snacks. The clever 5000 series can even sync your cooking in both baskets so that everything’s ready at the same time.

Another innovation? Steam! Not only is there a handy steaming function for veggies, fish, and dumplings, this tech is also used by the unit’s handy automatic steam clean function.

And with 12 presets and 19 different ways to cook, you may not use your big oven again!
