10.0OUT OF 10 · HOME MACHINE

The pinnacle of the Sage/Breville home range

In my opinion, the Oracle Touch is the absolute pinnacle of Sage/Breville’s home coffee-machine range. The newer Oracle Jet has since arrived—and I will cover that in a separate review—but the Oracle Touch remains an outstanding balance of ease, consistency, quality and control. The touchscreen is responsive, there are enough settings to satisfy anyone who enjoys tinkering, and favourite drinks can be saved exactly as you like them. My overall experience: 10/10.

What I love

  • + Superb consistency and coffee quality once dialled in
  • + Responsive touchscreen with useful drink customisation
  • + Dual boilers make back-to-back coffees much easier
  • + Exceptional automatic milk texturing and temperature control
  • + Premium design that looks excellent on the bench

Worth knowing

  • − A significant upfront investment
  • − Needs a generous amount of bench space
  • − The morning warm-up takes longer than the newer Oracle Jet

What I observed

  1. 01

    The guided touchscreen workflow is simple to follow without making the machine feel locked down. I could customise my favourite morning drink and save it exactly the way I wanted.

  2. 02

    Its dual-boiler design is a major advantage when making several coffees, because espresso extraction and milk steaming can happen at the same time.

  3. 03

    The automatic steam wand is as good as—if not better than—any I have tested at home. I set the milk temperature to 64°C, which gives me the balance I prefer: properly warm without pushing the milk too far.

  4. 04

    As with any espresso machine, the result is only as good as the input. Fresh, good-quality beans make a clear difference and allow the Oracle Touch to show what it can really do.

  5. 05

    If I had to be very critical, the initial warm-up is the one part of the morning routine I would like to be faster. The newer Oracle Jet has the advantage here.

  6. 06

    Overall: buy it—provided the price and footprint work for you. It is a brilliant machine, looks superb on the worktop and can produce coffee that genuinely competes with a good café. If it replaces regular café purchases, it may also offset part of its cost over time.

TWO REASONS TO SHORTLIST

One-touch café drinks with two boilers

  • + Brews and steams at the same time
  • + Hands-on control over espresso and milk texture

Breville Oracle Touch is an integrated grinder machine with an integrated grinder, suited to one-touch café drinks with two boilers. Compare its Australian price band, milk system, heat system and skill level. Its dual boiler system and automatic milk workflow are the two details most likely to shape daily ownership.

TWO REASONS TO THINK TWICE

Upgrade freedom matters

  • − Built-in grinder limits the future upgrade path
  • − Milk components need frequent cleaning

Integrated machines trade some grinder upgrade freedom for convenience. Australian stock, colours and inclusions can vary by retailer.
