Oracle Jet Espresso Machine, Brushed Stainless Steel

I had this exact thing happen when I first bought my Breville Oracle Jet. Except the fresher the beans the worse the result. Every time I went to the local coffee roaster and bought fresh beans, no matter what my settings were on the machine, it was like pure lemon juice. The ratios were perfect, th

Easiest semi automatic in that price range would probably be the ninja luxe cafe. It grinds, weighs the grounds for you and then has guidance to adjust your shot. All you need to do is tamp really. The easiest semi auto is probably the Breville oracle jet but that's 2k. For anything else you'd want

I mean before everybody jumps in and recommends random machines, you should probably decide if you want a dualboiler (or HX machine) or if a singleboiler is fine for you. Also, just in general which features are important to you. What’s the grinder you already have? - Reason I‘m asking is because I‘

I'm not willing to come out and help, but I can give a few suggestions. r/espresso often has some really helpful people, especially if you have a video of yourself pulling a shot -- they may be able to diagnose the problem. It honestly takes some time when you have a new machine -- both to get the h

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

Like you, I make almost exclusively lattes, and I think the Oracle Jet works perfectly for that. Given the cost of the machine the bigger question you might have is do you have the counter space to have a superior grinder and a smaller single boiler machine? The reason I ask is the biggest thing to

I just moved up from a Philips super automatic to a Breville Oracle Jet. Since it automates the tamping and walks you through dialing in, it’s not that much harder to deal with. It makes much better espresso than the automatics. The automatics all have that plastic brewing mechanism. I found it hard

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

Have a 6 year old Oracle Touch that started to pop our GFCI outlet, likely due to leak. Replaced the orings and steam probes, which did not fix the issue. Seems to be a problem with the steam broiler. Loved the machine so much we replaced it with an Oracle Jet....little bit of a side grade IMO, but

I have hard water so i exclusively use RO water in my espresso machine, kettles, moka pots, ice makers, humidifiers, etc. That scale builds up so much faster than you’d think. Would highly suggest that for you assuming your unit is not faulty. Also, I’m not convinced the clogging isn’t from some dry
