About this item

  • AUTOMATIC MICROFOAM MILK TEXTURING: Self-cleaning steam wand, powered by a dedicated boiler, automatically textures milk to your liking and delivers barista quality microfoam that enhances flavour and is essential for creating latte art at home
  • PRECISE ESPRESSO EXTRACTION: Dual stainless steel boilers and heated group head controlled by digital temperature control (PID) delivers water at precisely the right temperature, ensuring optimal espresso extraction
  • OPTIMAL WATER PRESSURE: The Over Pressure Valve limits the maximum pump pressure throughout extraction, helping prevent bitter flavours; Low pressure pre infusion gradually increases water pressure to gently expand grinds for an even extraction
  • SHOT CONTROL AND LCD DISPLAY: Choose between one shot, two shots or manual control on the LCD display to control how much espresso ends up in your cup to make the perfect coffee/espresso every time

The Oracle is about the  joy of brewing espresso
5 Stars
The Oracle is about the joy of brewing espresso
Why on earth is there so many reviews about the cost of the Oracle?Lets get this out of the way right away. The oracle case more than most espresso makers, you can pick up a super-matic for less that will do one button brewing. you can also buy a very nice grinder and a outstanding high end espresso brewer.. if you are concerned that a bentley tend to need a overhaul each year and that service cost more than life time service on a kia.. then you got the wrong coffeemaker.That out of the way, driving a Oracle is going to cost you money, the beans from Albertson's is a absolute waste of money, I mean its not they are bad at all. but they are NOT that good, and once you are driving a oracle, why not enjoy the flavor it can deliver.So.. Maschine then. if you are reading this, you already know the "WHY".I found myself pondering the Oracle vs the Oracle touch. in the end, i picked the older Oracle to get a little more direct and textured control.. I have not regretted this choice.The grinder is reasonably consistent, I have not had reason to suspect it being inconsistent. I do feel you need to run maybe 2-3 sec after changing grind size when dialing in a bean. so I put the PortaFilter into the grinder and turn it on, then after a couple sec's of grinding, stop by pushing the handle to the right again.. empty and then do a full grind and tamp.BTW> I have left the tamp at default force.. and tweak how fast it runs by the grind size only really.Move the PortaFilter to the Brew Head. make sure to turn it a little extra so its really locked in. push brew and watch your espresso shot brew.. its just so darn beautiful.The thing about the Oracle, I play with beans when nobody is around, and the Oracle will play along all the way.Then early in the morning, just pop in the filter, and do a one button brew. ahhh. you get that fully manual brewer with single button ease when you want it.On and it looks damn good doing what it do. its not looking like a "Im a crazed espresso hobby fanatic", but just like I picked up a really nice espresso maker that suits my lifestyle. and honestly thats really the buying reasoning, its an expensive one of a kind espresso maker, thats in serial production, so its going to be far more reliable than most hand build high end brewers.But what about the barista,?Basically the Barista is just about a Oracle, without the auto-tamp, and the auto-steam.. and actually i think the barista touch now have the auto-steam. I picked the oracle mostly for the dual boiler, auto-tamp convenience (and lack of mess when friends are over) and for the auto-steam.. I wanted a totally step back and enjoy brewer, that I can go nitty-gritty with when in the mood.Ultimately, Not a single regret.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT MACHINE, HAPPY CAMPER
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2015
THIS IS A GREAT MACHINE. BACKGROUND, I HAD A GAGGIA SYNCHRONY SUPERAUTOMATIC FOR 5 YEARS, THEN SOLD IT. GOOD ESPRESSO, I THOUGHT AT THE TIME. BEEN A STARBUCKS DRINKER FOR TEN YEARS IN CHICAGO BEFORE GETTING MY FIRST ESPRESSO MAKER. CHARBUCKS IS MEDIOCRE, BUT THEY SHOWED ME THE POSSIBILITIES. I WAS LUCKY THAT MY GAGGIA TITANIUM LASTED 6 YEARS AND 10,000 SHOTS.
THE TITANIUM SUPER AUTO MADE A SLIGHTLY BETTER SHOT THAN THE SYNCHRONY. I SPENT ABOUT 100 HOURS DOING RESEARCH ON SEMI-AUTO MACHINES, BECAUSE I REALLY BELIEVE ITS THE WAY TO GREAT ESPRESSO.
ROCKET CROSSED MY MIND, BUT THE MESS AND BOTHER SEEMED TOO MUCH .
I SAW TONS OF VIDEOS ON THE BREVILLE ORACLE MAKING ME BELIEVER. THIS IS THE ONLY HYBRID MACHINE THAT WORKS THIS SMOOTHLY , MAKING EXCELLENT COFFEE, WITH LITTLE FUSS. . BEEN TO TOP GRADE ROASTERS AND PLACED MYSELF IN FRONT OF BARRISTA SUPERSTARS ON $10,000 MACHINES. SOME SHOTS WERE GOOD OR GREAT, AND SOME BITTER AND SOUR. $2000 HURT A LOT, BUT I AM SUPER HAPPY. THE RELIABILITY RATING BY AMAZON AND OTHER TEST SITES WAS NEAR 80%. ESPRESSO MACHINES SEEM TO HAVE A 50-60% CUSTOMER PROBLEM RATIO. I PULLED MY FIRST FEW SHOTS WITH A POUND OF SPECIALTY JAVA ESPRESSO AUTHENTICO. IT WAS ROASTED 5 DAYS AGO. I SET MY THE BOILER TO 199 DEGREE TO STAY AWAY FROM A BITTER SHOT. TAMP PRESSURE 3 TAMP DURATION 4 I TRIED 20 SEC SINGLE SHOT, JUST TO TASTE IT. GREAT CREMA AND THE LEAST BITTERNESS OF ANY SHOT I EVER HAD. THEN TRIED A DOUBLE SHOT 28 SEC AND 30ML.
THE POUR OUT OF THE SPOUTS ARRIVED AT THE 11 SECOND MARK. THE DOUBLE WAS VERY SMOOTH . I LOVE THIS MACHINE , SO GLAD I GOT IT. DID NOT SEEM TO HAVE A LOT OF TROUBLE GETTING GOOD SHOTS. MAYBE A LITTLE LUCK OR
SOME EXPERIENCE. I LIKE THAT IT IS NOT MESSY AND EASY TO PROGRAM AND MAKE INSTANT CHANGES. I LOVE THE LOOK OF THE ROCKET 58 , BUT THIS IS THE MACHINE. FRESH BEANS ROASTED TO MED DARK AND 6-20 DAY OLD ROAST DATE.
CLEAN WATER WITH LESS THAN 100 PPM MINERALS. ALSO JUST ORDERED A BOTTOMLESS PORTAFILTER TO SEE SHOT
PRODUCTION AND TWEAK SHOTS MORE. IF THERE BE A NEGATIVE, IS THAT THE DOSAGE CAN'T BE CHANGED.
I READ CHANGING TAMP PRESSURE HIGHER WILL MOVE IT UP 1 GRAM. I GUESS YOU ALSO CHANGE WATER VOLUME TO ADJUST TASTE. I CONSIDERED TEMPERATUE CHANGES FROM 194F TO 204 F COULD HELP. WITH USING THESE VARIABLES
UNLIMITED COMBINATIONS WITH ROAST, AGE OF ROAST, DIFFERENT ASSORTED BEAN COMBO, DIFFERENT WATER, PRE-INFUSION OF THE GRIND, WATER VOLUME PER SHOT, A FEW GRAINS OF SALT ADDED, AND THINGS WE HAVEN'T THOUGHT
OF................HMMMM. PERHAPS THE SO CALLED GOD SHOT MAY BE PULLED SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE. ITS GOING TO BE FUN TRYING AND LEARNING. WAS THINKING OF BUYING SOME KLATCH ROASTED WORLDS BEST ESPRESSO BEAN.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente cafetera semi automática. Grandiosos cappuccinos con filtro naked!
Reviewed in Mexico on January 20, 2020
Esta cafetera la estaba buscando encontrar para comprar porque es una excelente maquina semi automática.
Tiene doble caldera, con lo que puedes espumar la leche y extraer el café al mismo tiempo, aparte de poder agregar agua caliente a un americano, o simplemente para Té.
Tiene dos opciones para agregar agua a su tanque, una es por detrás, pero en este modelo tambien por arriba en la parte frontal, entonces no necesitas estar moviendo la maquina para cargar agua, muy cómodo.
Trae uno de los accesorios por lo que la queria adquirir, la posibilidad de utilizar un filtro naked o bottomless, con el que puedes hacer café con una crema densa y aromática, que dejan al café distinto y a mi criterio más sabroso.
El filtro naked se compra aparte, pero es en este modelo que puedes utilizarlo, porque la mayoría de las cafeteras Breville traen un portafiltro de 54mm, y en este modelo es de 58mm que permite utilizar y conseguir filtros profesionales como el Naked.
Al encenderla por primera vez, creí que la maquina venia fallada, porque necesitas encenderla y dejar que llegue a los 200 grados. Pero la encendía y apagaba varias veces sin llegar a pasar los 165. La deje durante 24hs pensando en regresarla y cuando la volví a prender encendió y llego a los 200. Luego de este detalle no volvió a presentar ningún problema hasta ahora. Y todo funciona a la perfección.
Trae un jarro de acero quirúrgico muy practico para espumar la leche para cappuccinos.
La recomiendo aunque es una cafetera algo elevada en precio, pero vale la pena para tenerla esperando no necesitar cambiarla o comprar otra durante muchos años.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2 years later: Fantastic machine, but not perfect.
Reviewed in Canada on July 16, 2017
This is a long review with 2+ years of updates:

As it can run fully automatic, it is very quick to dial in the perfect shot. Adjust grind to get a nice extraction, then adjust water volume to preference. Automatic milk steaming is very consistent and convenient. Automatic americano function is also great. Pulled dozens of shots in the first few days getting it set up then making espressos for my friends, family, and I.

Then, on day 3, it faulted. I turned the steam temperature knob and the main LCD flickered out. Then it came back, flashing randomly (see video attached). All functions still work, but without the main LCD the menu system cannot be accessed. After unplugging the unit for a few hours everything was back to normal. A couple of days later, the the bottom line disappeared from the main LCD again.

I have NOT contacted Breville (yet); Amazon is sending me a replacement, no questions asked, and I'll ship the defective one back when the replacement arrives. I will not pass judgement on a single defective unit - yes it is so expensive that anything but top quality is disappointing to say the least - but I'll give it another chance. Will update with a more damning review if the replacement is anything less than perfect.

**update 1. Have been using the replacement machine to pull 2-4 shots per day for the last 9 months with no issues. This thing is nothing short of brilliant.

**update 2. As reviewer “Doug” notes, at the 2 year mark my machine also started leaking. Small puddles appeared in the morning. I also am finding I can’t even pull 2 shots and steam a pitcher of milk without it stopping to reheat. Last year I could pull shot after shot for guests and it never skipped a beat. Good thing I purchased the extended warranty. They’re sending a cheque for replacement cost, which should cover repairs and then some. For 2 years this thing has brought me joy. Really disappointing turn of events...

**update 3 - I contacted Breville Canada and they provided me a free shipping label to ship the machine to their shop in Vancouver for repairs. It was returned to me in 2 weeks working perfectly. All free of charge. My only complaint was that the service technicians did not communicate what was found and what was fixed - Just got a machine in a box that works like new. I called Breville and they confirmed that the seals were replaced. Hopefully it will perform consistently for more than 2 years this time. I wonder how much the bill for new seals will be once I’m out of the warranty period...

Beyond the issues I’ve encountered it really is great. When I think about it the failure rate isn’t terrible; I use it at least twice a day to grind and pull at least 3 shots per day, 365 days/year! It leaked after 2 years and was repaired for free. Not sure I could reasonably expect better of a machine this complex...
