I have been using it for about a week. I have wanted it for about 2 years, since I saw it at a William Sonoma and tried a sample and loved how it operated. I have a Saeco super automatic machine that I have used every day for over 10 years. It is slowly breaking (display stopped working, water tank occasionally leaks, can't run the decalcifying program anymore). So, I didn't need this machine now. But, I was going to need it. The Saeco is a workhorse and I never expected to last as long as it has. I thought the coffee tasted fine from the Saeco. But, I realized it tasted like crap once I got this machine. Very easy to set up. There are a few things to know about operating it that requires reading the manual. But, day to day operation is pretty simple. It takes way longer to get ready than my Saeco. But, you can easily program it to turn on at a designated time. The main display is more old school than it needs to be. In this day and age, they can use something more than an old school lcd display. For some of the functions, if you don't know what it supposed to be displaying, you won't understand it. Probably used it for the aesthetic. I really like the manual part of this machine. It is still essentially an automatic machine. But, you have an espresso basket to put in one port for the grinds to be dispensed into and tamped. Then, you move it to the other port and it makes the coffee. If you make a triple cappuccino, like I do, it is a bit more work than pressing the espresso button 3 times, like I did on my old machine. With this, I have to move the basket from one port to the other, then bang out the grounds in the included barista ground disposal thing, rinse it off and start the cycle again and do that 3 times. You also have to move the cup for the coffee off the machine when you remove the espresso basket or you risk knocking it over. That takes slightly more time than a fully automatic machine but it is more the attention it requires. If you want to multitask while the machine does all of the work, this machine is not for you. One nice feature that saves time is that you can froth the milk while the espresso is being made and you can do that hands free. So, compared to my Saeco, the active time making a beverage is about the same, since the Saeco required my attention in frothing the milk. I think this machine provides the perfect amount of manual interaction in an automatic machine - and the interaction that I want. I would love to get a shiny La Pavoni and a professional grinder, learn the perfect amount of pressure to tamp and have that for the weekend and a fully automatic machine for the work week. But, I don't have the money or the counter space for that. This machine gives me close to both experiences. I get to use an espresso basket (which makes it feel more like an authentic coffee making experience) but still not have to worry about tamping it perfectly and watching the coffee come out and stopping it when it makes the right amount. Yet, you can still experiment with the time for the water flow to control the strength of the coffee. You can control the water temp, the tamping pressure, the grind and a bunch of other options. Or, you never have to fool with those settings. Did I mention it makes amazing coffee? It does. It tastes incredible and the froth is perfect every time. I haven't even used espresso beans in it yet. I have been using some light roast that a local roaster made and was given to me as a gift mixed with some Philz dark roast that I had left over. Only comment/complaint is that you only have one portafilter size. It only dispenses a fixed amount of grounds. So, the button for a double espresso isn't really a double, compared to the single. At a coffee shop, they would use a different size filter for a single and a double and a different amount of coffee in each. So, if you want a full strength double, you really have to make 2 singles. You will have something different if you just let water flow through the same grounds for an extra 10 seconds. Small price to pay, though. Other comment/critique is that the milk can be tough to clean off the bottom part of the frother and you really should do it each time.you use the frother. Didn't have that issue with the Saeco that used a plastic frother tip.

I've been a fan of Breville's espresso machines for years going back to a really inexpensive one I bought 9+ years ago that is still working. It isn't the greatest machine, but it produces decent, if not great espresso. A little more than a year ago I got a Breville 920XL that is still working fine with an easy repair I did recently. So I decided that the Oracle would better fit me because I'm remodeling the kitchen and would like to reduce the counter space usage. Got the Oracle a couple weeks ago and it was DOA! Called Breville and they offered a fix I could do, but it didn't work. They sent me a replacement which did the same thing. But this time I remembered that air locks are sometimes a fact of life. So I opened the 2 boiler drains and then turned it on and let it run until some water came out. Closed the drains, the machine kept going and filled the boilers and heated up. All is good!! BTW, I had called Breville on this second unit and they were going to pull one from the warehouse and fully test it before sending it out. That's going above and beyond IMO. Now for the review of the Oracle itself. After doing all the preliminary things such as bringing it up and flushing things as the instructions said, I then proceeded to brew an Americano with the default settings. Nearly perfect, though it was a bit thin. Well within range of dialing it in. After 2 more runs with changed grind settings, things are spot on! Pulled a very sweet Americano. Next was to test out the automatic frothing/heating of milk for a Cappuccino. Worked perfectly, I was impressed by how well it does it. The milk was at the proper temp (140F) and the consistency was like wet paint, just like it is supposed to be. The cleaning flush for the steam wand is wonderful! You do the milk, wipe the steam arm down with a damp cloth and push it back into place and it automatically does a few cleaning spurts. Very nice. Overall this machine is excellent IMO. Looks good, works good and my experience with Breville says it will last quite awhile and they do back up their stuff quite well. There are all sorts of adjustments that you can do as you learn this machine. Brew temp, pre-infusion time and pressure, Americano volume, shot temp and volume and Tamp time and pressure are all there, as are auto-start and auto-stop. BTW, Americano has 3 built in settings and you can add 6 more settings depending on how you like your Americanos. The auto-steamer has temp and type adjustment so you can set the temp you want the milk to get to, and the type for a Latte or a Cappuccino or anywhere in between. It is a well thought out implementation. I noted some other reviews that saw issues with descaling. I think that is probably earlier models as there has been a firmware change to aid in that not being an issue. I've descaled my 920XL which is the same basic design as the Oracle's espresso side a few times with no issues.

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.

I really wanted to love the Breville Oracle. On paper, it promised barista-level espresso with the convenience of automation—exactly what my household was looking for. Unfortunately, after months of hands-on use and exhaustive efforts to get it working properly, I can’t recommend this product to others. The core issue? The machine fails to deliver consistent extractions. Despite dialing in grind settings and following every official guideline, the shot volumes were wildly erratic, range of over 40 grams. As an engineer, I took this seriously: I ran multiple rounds of quantitative testing and compiled a detailed performance report, which I submitted to Breville support. Breville’s response? To their credit, they engaged. But the cycle became exhausting: • I completed multiple live video troubleshooting calls with their team • I sent in the original unit for authorized repair • When that didn’t work, Breville sent me a brand-new replacement • I ran the same structured testing on the new unit—and got the same inconsistent results After all that, Breville continued to suggest another repair, ignoring the bigger picture: this isn’t an isolated defect, but appears to be a design or systemic performance flaw. To make matters worse, because I bought through Amazon and was patient enough to work through Breville’s full support process, I’m now outside the return window and they refuse to offer a refund or buyback, even after acknowledging my months-long good-faith effort. I posted my full report on Medium, Reddit, and Home-barista. I'm not able to link to it in this review. If you're considering the Oracle for its promise of convenience and consistency, I recommend waiting until Breville addresses this issue or provides a clearer guarantee. The steamer function was great, though. And if they sold a stand alone version of the steamer I would buy that. — Erik H.

I bought this unit in 2015 and, after about a day of tinkering with settings, was off and running making great espresso & lattes. A lot of reviews here talk about issues with the machine around 10 months to 2 years. Being a very heavy user of this machine I too had issues (popping circuit breaker or GFCI, valves chattering, not getting to temp, turning off). All of these were the because of the same issue; there are these little red o-rings inside (lots of them) that eventually dry out through all the thermal cycles. This causes liquid or stream leaks and the main circuit board is directly over the boilers. Basically this can cause any number of random issues. After searching around the internet I ran into the same instructions in another review here. Buy the red o-rings (5 bucks for ~100 of them) take out the 2 screw near the front LED lights (phillips) the two torx at the back of the machine, and the two behind the water tank. The top lid of the machine will come off and can offer easy access to the boilers. I then turn the machine on and look for the leak (being careful not to get burned or electrocuted). After letting the machine cool and unplugging there is a small clip that can be pulled out and the o-ring is on the other side of the leaking line. Over 5 years, I replace an o-ring or two every 8 months or so. When the top or side of the machine is getting very hot or I notice a leak sound it's time to swap an o-ring. Or if any other random issue crops up and it always fixes it straight away. Another tip to get this unit to live and I know this will be controversial... don't descale it. The software is buggy, the valves can break or stick, or you can wind up with a bad sensor. Especially if you have a water softener. If you have very hard water give it a shot if you want but I personally would take my chances there. Lots of reports about the machine breaking during descale. Best of luck!

It really pains me to write this review. I love this machine. I want to give it 5 stars. I've used this machine for almost 2 years now. The reason for the 2 stars??? Well, its what I've been through over those 2 years. In that time, I've had to send it back for repair, twice. This second time I fought hard to get a full refund and Breville agreed. What I Like - EVERYTHING about the machine's functionality. If you use high quality beens, this machine makes amazing coffee consistently with little mess. it really is everything you want in a top end dual boiler machine. What I DON'T Like - IT BREAKS! By putting everything you could possibly want in one small package, all the parts need to be small, cheap, and mostly plastic. When it works, its great, when it doesn't... read on. What I REALLY REALLY REALLY Don't Like - Breville Customer Support. The machine pump broke about 1 year after purchase. Sent it for repair and it took 3 weeks to get the machine back... well, not exactly all of it. Just most of it. Parts were missing (and it was still broke when I got it back). Then they shipped a brand new machine, it worked fine. For 6 months... then it too broke, same issue. During the troubleshooting of the first issue, someone in the support team recommended descaling the machine with vinegar, even sent me a nice video on how to do it. I only came to find out with the second failure, from the same support team, that dual-boiler machines shouldn't be descaled at all. I pushed to get a full refund after they asked me to send the unit back to them. They insisted that I'd be contacted by their accounting team once the unit arrived and a refund would be issued. That didn't quite happen. I had to put in several irate phone calls after the machine arrived at their facilities to get a check issued. Breville: The CONCEPT of this machine is great. Make it actually work by using quality parts. Fire your support team as they don't follow up on anything they say...a

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.

I have used a lot of espresso makers over the decades and they all fall short in either water temp consistency, pump reliability, ease of cleaning, steaming/frothing quality, you name it. I can't find a single aspect of this machine that is not fantastic. It is consistent in all respects and simple to keep clean. This was clearly the result of years of experience coming together in an elegant design that works great. Best features? - You can pull shots on this as fast as you care to prepare the cups and it does not seem to slow down. It's always ready for the next shot. I am not recommending you start a business with this machine but I am confident that it will meet any home need you may have. We drink a lot of coffee and I have personally ran as many as 10 double shots sequentially through this (some prep time per drink intertwined) and it keeps up just great. - The milk frother is every bit as good as they claim. It just works. Perfect very time. Keep it clean and it will keep you happy. - Changing out the beans is easy. You can unlock the hopper and it closes off so you can take it off, exchange the beans, and put something else in without making a mess in the process. If you are into multiple hoppers you can swap them. I just change the beans occasionally. - The timer let's you set the Oracle to automatically turn on whatever time you choose so the 3-5 minute warm up is not a factor. This is a phenomenal product. Seriously. So happy to have found it. Thanks Breville!
