It has many automatic features that help you when dialing in, and being consistent from shot to shot. The Oracle is a big jump up in price from the other 58mm Breville contender, the Dual Boiler.

I have had an Oracle for several years and make my wife and I a latte every day. It works perfectly and have never had a problem. Even took it to Florida on winter vacation! Would purchase it again in a second! Excellent features and quality.

I’ve had this machine for years. It’s been honestly great. It’s a great middle ground between semi-auto and superauto.

I loved this review! Humour that's drier than the grind, and brilliantly informative. It swung my judgment to buy the Sage Oracle today.

This is a game changer, I'm buying for sure. Just want to acknowledge you for the clear and concise presentation and narrative, you've done a great job here--thank YOU. As I watch all the other videos, they make coffee-making (esp cupucinno and latte) into a nitpicking, no-ordinary, big-fuss, big hoohah and very complicated process. No, it's not intimidating, ANYONE with a reasonable IQ can master the coffee-making after 2-3 weeks, it's not rocket science. But many aficionado make it as if it is so refined, so artful, so extraordinary, so meticulous, so-grandios, so-big-deal process. I think coffee-making ought to be making a cup of coffee simply and consistently. If A.I. is taking over our repetitive jobs, then coffee making is already a robot's job. Man, the amount of hair-splitting tools and process--frankly makes it laughable--in fact ostentatiously pedantic. Maybe some people found their purpose in life to make a perfect cup of coffee, but they shouldn't make it as-if it's a study in making a particle accelerator. Thank you for this video. And I'm anticipating some people spitting at my face for my comments here.

There's a third group - those of us who are interested in diving deeper into coffee but when you have the machine dialled-in you want a machine that gives you consistent results with a minimum of fuss. This is where the oracle really shines - you can spend hours messing with the settings, get your IMS baskets, your bottomless portafilters: then for the next few weeks it'll just keep making you great coffee until you want to change up the beans or something.

Just got one, awesome machine .he is spot on about being able to get the coffees out quick for guests. Also handy is the wheels underneath can be unlocked from the tray section so you can pull it out easy. Plus my one came with a complimentary 450, dollar breville pack containing heaps of good items.

Best review of the Breville Oracle available online; hands down sir.

Show me ONE other machine that wakes up morning, has 58mm portafilter, built in grinder, auto tamper, dual boiler, PID, auto steam with temp. meter. I can help you! There is NONE! This is the ONLY machine with all the features. What a job by Sage/Breville. Such a great machine. You can even set the dose by unscrewing the tamp head and adjusting it to a preferred height.

[mrab]

Great review! One question tho: If you got a second portafilter... Can you brew and grind at the same time..? Thanks!

[jaym]

I could not be happier with my Oracle. Consistent, great results, every morning.

The oracle is such an amazing machine. Have had mine a couple years now and can’t think of a single reason to upgrade to something else.

[Tonyplat]

Absolutely love this machine it's as if Breville read my mind and made a machine purely just for me. I do have the oracle touch model but it's essentially the same machine with even more automated settings. Can't imagine living without this machine.

[dpie]

I own the Oracle Touch, which is the latest model. Its pretty much the same machine but with a touch screen. Its a very expensive coffee maker but if you buy the right beans and get the correct grind setting you will end up with absolute top notch coffee. If you want the best possible coffee with the least effort you should buy the Oracle (if you can afford it). I disagree though with the statement that you don’t have to dial in the grind. You do! Different beans has very different grind behavior. Also I have noticed a difference between grind setting when the hopper is full or almost empty. But you will learn.

[marthinlarsen]

Great review, great job💪these are some very solid and valid points from daily use. The automated warm up funktion alone with the fully automated steam function is really something to consider if you're a little busy in the morning but you still don't won't to compromise your coffee experience.

[karenbray]

Just bought it and Love this machine! Beautiful coffees every time, buy the freshest beans as you can, I want3d a machine that tastes just like a coffee shop and I got just that, very happy indeed wouldn’t look past this model

[pcmactek]

Bought mine a few months back - very pricey, yes, but well worth it. BTW, sent back the dual boiler after a couple of weeks, upgraded to this, never looked back

[California]

7:00 what's the brand of that cup?

[JoeyVaracalli]

I almost bought this guy it’s basically a super automatic with out the draw backs

[flatlander]

I have owned an Oracle for about 3 yrs. I'd like to see you make a cappucino into a clear glass cup, using the auto froth on the cappucino setting, and get enough foam for a true 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk, 1/3 foam, that is supposedly what a cappucino is. Please!

[igalfligman]

Superb review! Just like all the others you have done! It is also very honest! Bravo
