The Breville Oracle Touch is everything we love about the Oracle now with an intuitive, full-color touch screen that gives step-by-step instructions for preparing your favorite espresso and milk beverages. It’s still got a dual-boiler, built in grinder and tamping system, programmable shot volumes, automatic frothing, and PID temperature controls, too, making this ultimate machine for learning to brew delicious espresso drinks at home. 

Features & Benefits

The defining feature of the Oracle Touch is the vibrant and intuitive touchscreen display that gives step-by-step instructions for preparing and customizing up to 8 distinct espresso and milk beverages. It walks you through the process of grinding, tamping, brewing, and frothing so you’ll learn actual barista skills as you use this machine. 

The integrated grinder features Baratza European Precision Burrs and can be adjusted to one of 45 different grind settings, making dialing in for specialty roasts a breeze. The automatic grinding system automatically grinds, doses, and tamps 22 grams of coffee for the perfect dose every time. Or, practice your barista skills and dose yourself, whichever you prefer. 

The Oracle Touch is also a dual-boiler machine. The dual stainless steel boilers and group head temperatures are controlled via PID, so you know you’re getting accurate temperatures when extracting. The automatic pre-infusion gently wets the puck before brewing at full 9-bar pressure in order to extract maximum flavor potential from specialty coffees. 

Finally, the Auto MilQ system automatically produces silky smooth microfoam perfect for pouring latte art with no skill required—just set your desired milk temperature and texture and let the machine do the rest. Of course, you can turn this off and froth your own milk if you’re looking to boost your barista skills. 

Why You Should Get It

The Breville Oracle Touch is more than just a powerful dual-boiler machine that allows you to brew and steam simultaneously—it’s an instructional resource that teaches you actual barista skills as you use it. The built-in grinder is capable of precision automatic dosing and there are a veritable ton of other built-in supports to help aspiring home baristas learn the skills necessary to brew delicious beverages with ease. 

You won’t need any barista skills to make great drinks with the Oracle, but you’ll continue to appreciate this machine after you begin to develop them. It will hold your hand as much (or as little) as you like, making it a great first espresso machine for someone who doesn’t want to have to buy a second one anytime soon. 

  • Vibrant Teaching Touchscreen Display
