Oracle Jet Espresso Machine, Brushed Stainless Steel

The second big, big flaw is temperature stability. You know how the Bambino has a PID set at 93c? That 93c is the target output temperature when water leaves the thermaljet. So at the beginning of the first real shot you pull today, when everything from the tubes to the showerhead, to the portafilte

The price difference between the Breville Barista Touch Impress and the Breville Oracle Jet is pretty hard to overlook. The Touch Impress usually sells for around $1,500, while the Oracle Jet tends to land in the $2,800–$3,000 range. That’s roughly a $1,300–$1,500 jump, and for most home users the u

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

The grinder is great...it is stepless and because Breville bought Baratza, the burrs have been upgraded. The Oracle Jet also uses a more robust grinding path that (in my experience) holds the settings much more accurately and should provide better durability over time.

I bought my Oracle Jet at the beginning of the year, after the NYTimes Wirecutter recommended it. I've been having problems ever since. Although it did an OK job with canned Illy beans, as soon as I bought better beans, everything tasted incredibly sour. Also, brewing by volume, I had to go well int

I had the same problem and just returned it. Fiddled around with brew temp, strength, made the grinds coarser, tried different beans (fresh ones roasted less than a week old), but alas, both the espresso and coffee just tasted absolutely terrible. Over extracted and bitter. Maybe it was a faulty mac

Have the Breville Oracle Jet and it’s always much faster on the second shot even after preheating the grouphead and steam wand. It’s frustrating!

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

I have a Breville Oracle (Now 5 years old). It makes good coffee, but is limited by the grinder. I believe the Jet is a thermoblock, rather than a dual boiler system and I understand the grinder is much improved since I bought mine. I recently bought a new grinder (Fiorenzato AGS) that I should rece

Lance Hedrick has exhaustively detailed reviews of both. Meraki, Oracle Jet. Bottom line: Meraki has the advantage of dosing by weight, and a dual boiler is probably more durable than the thermojet. Oracle Jet has more automation, a better grinder (based on Hedrick's comments), and near instant heat
