    Overview

    The Breville Oracle is a machine that will earn you a reputation as the barista of your friend group. Just don’t tell your friends you sat back while the machine did all the hard work. Owning an automatic coffee machine doesn’t mean you are lazy or you care less about coffee. This machine is packed with a raft of features that will help you better understand the craft of espresso.

    The machine will grind, dose, and tamp your coffee into the portafilter, and its automatic steam wand will heat and texture your milk to give you a fine microfoam. Because the machine contains dual boilers, you can steam milk before your shot finishes extracting. If you take your coffee black, there’s a One Touch Long Black button on the machine’s top interface to deliver two espresso shots and a stream of hot water

    Give your hands a rest without giving up your morning or afternoon ritual with the Breville Oracle fully-automatic coffee machine.
    Auto grind, dose, and tamp

    Packing your coffee grounds into the portafilter is arguably the messiest part of preparing espresso. This machine’s fully-integrated conical burr grinder will automatically grind, dose, and tamp 22 grams of coffee. All you have to do is choose the grind setting that works for you.

    Independent dual boilers

    Don’t sit around twiddling your thumbs while your espresso extracts. This machine’s dual boiler technology will allow you to steam milk at the same time. This is handy for when you have friends over and everyone puts their hand up for a coffee. The espresso boiler delivers a consistent temperature for optimum flavour, while the steam boiler uses instant, powerful steam to produce a velvety microfoam.

    Built-in grinder

    One drawback of having a grinder separate to your machine is that ground coffee can sit inside the grinder and lose its vitality prior to extraction. An integrated grinder means your coffee is extracted immediately after it is ground, preserving all the oils for a rich crema. There’s a unique grind setting to accommodate every type of roast.

    Auto steam wand

    Using a manual steam wand is synonymous with hot hands. You can adjust the milk temperature and texture using the touch screen menu, while the wand purges itself of milk residue when turned downward.

    After 10 year and 8000 cups I will buy another one.
    I have just had to retire my first espresso machine, which was the Oracle Breville. After more than 10 years it has been a very reliable machine to create high quality coffees I have just sent it off to another service, and unfortunately (but not expected) my old machine is ready for retirement. However, to get 10+ years and close to 8000 cups out of a domestic machine like the Oracle is defintely exceeding my initial expectations. It has been struggling over the last 6 months or so, but I managed to still produce great coffee, until we now have mutually agreed (the Oracle and I) that it is time to let it go. Needless to say, as I know exactly how to dial in this machine (we also have one at work) and the right bean to use (big fan of The Little Marionette), I will now be looking for a good deal on my next Oracle.

    The Oracle
