There’s an easy way to do coffee and there’s a hard way. Being a proud masochist, I’ll happily dive into the messy business of bean-crushing and milk-frothing if I can taste the difference. Thankfully, the Sage Duo-temp Pro delivers in a big way. It takes a bit of practice and plenty of washing up to whip yourself up a decent brew, but with a steamer and espresso filter built in you’ve got the right tools at your disposal. It isn’t even very fiddly to set up – just fill up its water tank, wash and slot in its filter gear and you’re pretty much good to go. £300 / sageappliances.co.uk
