Oracle Jet Espresso Machine, Brushed Stainless Steel

Things I did to make the Jet work better for my situation: Run water via the group head through the portafilter, dry it (but leave it a little damp, like someone mentioned) and then grind. 9/10 times it’ll tamp flat. The double shot basket seems to be too polished and it doesn’t grab as well as it s

Well, I'm excited. The Breville Oracle Jet steamer now makes actual microfoam in Auto mode, instead of just hot, bubbly milk. I'm not sure what they changed, but the texture difference is enormous. It still makes way too many huge bubbles too, but the core microfoam is really good. I've always had t

The manufacturer’s like Breville & Delonghi are also forcing you into integrated tamper on their higher end machines : Breville Touch Impress, Oracle Jet & Delonghi Opera & Maestro ! What attracted to 655 was for $450 : semi automatic with 9 bar OPV & 3 way solenoid with weight based dosing with a s

Well....I took the plunge yesterday. Jumped on the Jet train. I was looking at this, Jura's, and the Oracle Dual Boiler.

I would say for anyone who is contemplating this machine, if the price is not an object and after doing your research it’s something you’d really like, go for it!

If you drink a latte running 6 a day for 5 days out of the week you're burning though 30 a week plus tips. That's 120 a month That's 1440 a year. My breville oracle touch was used and abused. I got it and fixed it up for 600. I drink a latte or two a day and have had it for over 3 years now. So with

Breville Oracle Jet or Dual Boiler is what you're looking for. I have the former and it is mostly great. The Dual Boiler has better software and you can simultaneously pull a shot and use the steam wand.... I've not heard of competitors doing auto tamping like Breville does... I have a pet peece wit

For your needs, the Breville Dual Boiler or Oracle Jet are the closest replacements since they keep the built-in grinder with auto-tamp and automated milk frothing. There aren’t many other machines in that $2K–$3K range that combine automation with a semi-manual workflow, so sticking with Breville i

I was in your exact position earlier this year. I won’t call myself a coffee connoisseur but I do like a good cup. Also I don’t have the patience nor perseverance to navigate the technicality of brewing a great cup of coffee. Last but definitely not least, the boss ain’t gonna wait for her cuppa. Af

+1, I think it's just perception than reality. My theory is there's two groups - group A that likes the simultaneity for perceived time savings, and group B that is actually saying they want to pull a shot and also have the ability to steam right away. Group B's need makes a lot of sense, and that n
