What makes it a good fit

Made for moments like these
01
Take five minutes back for yourself
Make the first cup a small ritual: choose your beans, prepare the dose and taste the result before the day becomes busy. Adjust one setting at a time as you learn what you enjoy.
02
Make an after-dinner coffee feel personal
Offer an espresso or prepare a milk drink instead of ending the evening immediately after dessert. Keeping your cups, coffee and cleaning tools together makes the workflow more comfortable.
03
Give a new bag of beans a proper introduction
Use a slow weekend morning to dial in your grind and drink volume. The reward is a repeatable recipe that fits your cup and your taste, rather than somebody else’s default.

Your questions, answered
Who is this model a good fit for?
For enthusiasts looking for the BES985 Oracle Jet with an integrated preparation workflow.
Does it use whole beans, ground coffee or capsules?
The integrated grinder prepares whole beans for the portafilter. Prepare the dose and follow this model’s tamping and brewing steps.
How hands-on is the coffee-making process?
You prepare the portafilter and take an active part in the brewing routine. Automatic dosing and tamping.
Can I make milk drinks?
MilQ smart steam wand. Clean the milk-contact parts after use. With plant-based milk, texture depends on the milk formulation and selected setting.
Will it fit my countertop?
Measure width, depth and overhead access before choosing a position. Leave space to refill the water tank and bean hopper, where fitted, and to remove the drip tray. Use the electrical supply specified for the US model and keep the machine accessible for daily care.
How do I keep the flavor consistent?
Start with fresh coffee and appropriate water, clean the drink-contact parts regularly and empty the drip tray and used-coffee container or capsule area as applicable. Follow the model’s cleaning and descaling schedule; milk cleaning and descaling serve different purposes.
