Breville Oracle Touch Espresso Machine Review

The Breville Oracle Touch Espresso Machine is a super automatic espresso machine with a touchscreen, and it makes all types of coffee creations.

By doing your espresso shot first and then your milk, you're allowing your espresso shot to die. The best lattes are made by doing your shot which gives you the best Crema to pour your milk over. Here's a tip. Froth your milk; when it is finished, start your espresso shot, and while the shot is pouring, tap your milk crafts on the counter and swirl it. Tap swirl, Tap Swirl, maybe three or four times. This will be thinking up your milk as the tapping kills the bigger bubbles in your milk and thickens it up. By this time, your shot should be finished, and just as soon as your shot is complete, first pour the shot, followed by the milk. You can't beat thickened milk poured over a fresh shot. Never let that shot sit; it should immediately go into your cup with the milk ready to go. While you're pouring the milk on your shot, hold back the lighter foam with a spoon until the end if you want that lighter phone, but this thick, heavier foam is the best. Give it a try. The tapping and swirling is the key. We call it banging out the bubbles, making all the difference. If you noticed on you milk pour, the milk was very watery and that will happen less if you tap and swirl and don't get the milk too hot. Best!

It’s not super automatic, it’s 90% automated. You still have to froth the milk and use a portafilter. You can get a Breville Barista Touch for way less which pretty much does the same thing.

Appreciate all the close of images of the screen and details of the machine. I have low vision and this was very helpful. Can’t seem to find one in the store so this was very beneficial. Thank you

There is a warming tray on top of the machine with an auto start function.

Your shot is too coarse it seems, came out very liquidy and fast try grind 20

Thanks for the nice rundown of the machine’s features. It looks like it would be a lot of fun to play with — and the black finish on this particular machine looks awesome! I do have to agree with the others and say that the shot looked very weak (pretty common in YouTube videos though). Time for a finer grind or maybe a harder tamp. Can the tamp pressure be adjusted?

Good explanation but rubbish coffee you made.. I ll divorce you.. haha

NOT a super automatic machine. It's a very automated semi auto, I think you could even say fully auto but people don't seem to use that. But it's definitely not a super auto, that would confuse people if they're looking for information. A super auto doesn't give you "real espresso".

That was not a good shot, it was way too fast and not smooth at all. Also, the Oracle Touch has a cup warmer on top of the machine.

If that what you just made is an espresso then I'm the Superman.
It's the ugliest espresso brew that I've ever seen.
Either your coffee is not fresh at all or grind is too coarse.
