Higher priced breville machines

I got the Oracle Touch in 2021. Probably made 3,500+ in that time. Also during that time, had to send it in for service three times. The third time I had to beg Breville to let me send it in even though it was against their policy to service the same machine more than twice. Ended up replacing it wi

The Dual Boiler vs The Oracle Touch for the same price?

Oracle touch is a bit more complicated - ie more parts that is more likely to fail. Saying so, it is a fantastic machine if you like something semi-automatic. I have the Oracle. So much easier as I have young kids. The upper end coffee machines Breville uses baratza grinder, ie it is better than you

New Barista Pro Grinder Slipping

Welcome to the club, happens frequently to my Oracle Touch even after switching beans and thorough cleaning. Sent mine back a few times and their service is super but they just clean it and send it back, just for the same thing to occur. IMO a Breville known deficiency in the units.

Please give me a reason NOT to buy a Breville Barista Pro

Worked in the kitchen retail store before and a few months ago the barista pro along with the regular older Oracle touch and precision Brewer showed up on the list for items eventually going out. Unless things have changed recently. Reason for? I wish I could tell you. I personally think Breville re

What is a lower income spending habit you’ll never give up no matter how financially secure/rich you get?

It's a $3500 machine. I got it direct from the supplier when they first came out at a discount. Kind of dreading it's eventual demise. https://www.breville.com/en-au/product/bes990

Soapy water after running a cleaning tablet cycle [Breville Oracle Touch]

The Breville Oracle touch has a cleaning cycle that is pretty foolproof. You put a tablet on this silicone cap that goes on the basket and then the cycle runs automatically. You can repeat the cycle without a tablet. In either case, it backflushes the system. Descaling is a whole separate process. T

Dual Boiler - Not a Buy For Life Machine

Wow what? I’ve been considering getting the oracle touch, jet or dual boiler, for a while but this thread literally just ended any desire to get a Breville/Sage machine. Not servicing more than twice is insane.

Replace solenoid or replace machine?

My breville express is over 10 years old now. Not sure how old exactly I bought it used. I had to replace the water pump and solder some wires. That was 5 year an ago. The express is nice because it’s low tech. My dad bought the oracle touch. Really nice machine but the boilers leak which is pretty

The Oracle Touch; is this "good"? [Maintenance]

BEFORE YOU DESCALE THE ORACLE TOUCH Make sure your boiler water sensors are working. Brevtech has a guide on this. Its a common issue to blow thermal fuses from descaling and brick the machine from an owners point of view. This also varies based on model. Do a little homework before trying to descal
