Auto tamping feature is not good
Makes a decent coffee with nice foam but auto tamping feature is hit and miss and can't really be fixed from what I can see.

Best coffee machine
Love the dual boiler aspect t and the powerful frother. Can still be semi automatic and manual and like the ability to choose. Making two coffees is way easier than our old breville.

Coffee as good as the coffee shop
We have had two breville oracle machines. The first lasting about six years with every day usage. Finally decided to update and are very happy we have been able to make cafe quality coffee again.

At a glance
The Breville The Oracle is a premium manual coffee machine for home users who want cafe-style espresso with less barista guesswork. It combines manual-style extraction with automated grinding, dosing, tamping and milk texturing for consistent results. It is great for households that make milk-based coffees regularly and want a polished workflow. The main limitation is its larger footprint and higher price than simpler manual machines.

Things to consider
It delivers a more guided experience than a traditional manual machine, so advanced users chasing maximum control and compact prosumer setups may prefer a more specialist alternative.
Barista experience suitability
High - offers a hands-on espresso feel with automation that lowers the learning curve.
Ease of cleaning score
7/10 - easier than many prosumer machines thanks to guided workflow, but the milk system, drip tray and grinder area still need regular attention.
Beginner friendliness
8/10 - strong for beginners wanting better espresso, though it still benefits from some coffee knowledge and routine maintenance.
Counter space suitability
5/10 - best for medium to large kitchens because it has a substantial bench presence.
Noise level vs category average
Average to slightly above average - the grinder adds noticeable noise during prep compared with simpler manual machines without built-in grinding.
Key benefits
- Automatic Grinding, Dosing and Tamping: Helps reduce prep inconsistency and makes it easier to get repeatable espresso shots at home.
- Dual Boiler System: Lets you extract espresso and texture milk at the same time for a faster, smoother coffee-making workflow.
- Automatic Milk Texturing: Produces silky milk with less trial and error, which is especially useful for flat whites and lattes.
- Commercial-Style Portafilter Workflow: Gives a more authentic hands-on espresso experience than fully automatic machines.
- Programmable Shot Control: Makes it easier to tailor espresso volume to your preferred cup style.
- Integrated Grinder: Keeps the coffee workflow in one machine and reduces bench clutter compared with buying a separate grinder.
- Stainless Steel Construction: Feels sturdy and premium for long-term daily use.
- Hot Water Function: Adds convenience for long blacks and other drinks that need hot water on demand.
Q: Is the Breville The Oracle fully automatic, or do you still make the coffee manually?
A: It is semi-automatic in use. The Oracle automates grinding, dosing, tamping and milk texturing, but you still place the portafilter, start the shot and position the milk jug, so it keeps more hands-on control than a one-touch bean-to-cup machine.
Q: Can the Breville The Oracle brew espresso and steam milk at the same time?
A: Yes. Its dual stainless steel boiler system has a dedicated espresso boiler and a separate steam boiler, so it can pull a shot while texturing milk at the same time. That is useful when making flat whites or lattes back to back.
Q: Can you adjust coffee temperature and milk texture on the Breville The Oracle?
A: Yes. The espresso boiler uses PID temperature control for precise shot temperature, and the automatic steam wand lets you set milk temperature and texture. That gives more control than basic espresso machines that only offer fixed steam output.
Q: Does the Breville The Oracle need to be plumbed in?
A: No. This model is designed to run from its built-in removable water tank, so it does not require fixed plumbing for normal home use. That makes it easier to place on a bench than a plumb-in coffee machine, while still delivering dual-boiler performance.
Q: Can the Breville The Oracle make black coffee as well as milk-based drinks?
A: Yes. It is an espresso machine first, so it can make straight espresso shots, and the hot water outlet can be used to top up for a long black style coffee. It is not a filter coffee maker, so flavour and volume differ from drip coffee.
