Comparison: Auto Milk Systems

We always get asked, which superautomatic makes the hottest milk with the best foam? So we decided to put four brands to the test to find out how the milk foam quality and temperatures stack up. In our comparison we took our favorite model from the following brands: Saeco, DeLonghi, Breville and Jura. The Breville Oracle might seem like the odd one out since it isn't a true superautomatic, but it also isn't a true semi-automatic. So while it might not be a fair comparison, we felt it fit into the big picture nicely. As you might have expected (and we did too) the Breville Oracle won the comparison. The Oracle allows you to set the temperature of the milk you would like as well as the foam quality. And to be honest, it would be hard to replicate the quality of the milk off the Breville even using a traditional steam wand. The Saeco Exprelia Evo came in second, or first if you remove the Oracle from the lineup. The Exprelia Evo gave us milk that reached 124.5 degrees fahrenheit, the hottest out of the other super automatics. The foam was tighter than the milk foam on both the Jura and the DeLonghi. So if you are someone who loves your milk based espresso drinks, we might recommend you look at the Saeco line up. Of course, the Jura and the Delonghi both have some great features that make them stand out as well. Because milk isn't the only feature one looks for in an espresso machine.
