Features

  • 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

  • GREAT MACHINE, HAPPY CAMPER
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. ... show more

  • A great, if pricey machine!!
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. ... show more
