Breville The Oracle BES980 (page 2 of 31)

This is the perfect machine to create the ultimate flathead or warren coffee. I wouldn't look anywhere else. Any other brews you make are also sensational, this machine can not be beated

My daily job is a barista so I have high expectations in coffee and what I can get out of my coffee machine

This machine is perfect for me it has a hopper to put the beans in which it then grinds - you can change the grind to make it course or fine to get the best extraction out of it

The machine has the option to steam the milk for you which it does a good job or if you’re like me and prefer creamy silky milk you do it yourself

Easy to clean love it to bits

Brand new units setup per manual instructions. Neither heat past 70C. Myer were great and swapped but Breville aren’t available weekends. Tried turning off many times without success as others have suggested. Have reset the unit as well.

I can’t see what I’m missing. Any advice before I return it and go back to my previous brand?

I have owned my Oracle for about 18 months now. I can't express (get the pun) how great this machine is. I normally use the same bean blend from the same supplier. With the grind setting I have set it on it produces a perfect extraction with a massive crema. The milk frother also does a great job. It is easy to clean the machine. Because it is virtually automatic, once you have set it up to make a cup you can walk away and come back when it's done it's job.

Very happy with this coffee machine. It's so easy to use and makes wonderful cappuccinos. It's very helpful to be able to adjust the temperature and the frothiness of the milk. Our friends and family members can't get enough when they visit. Highly recommend!

my Breville oracle is amazing the quality of machine is second to none, it performs exactly the same time after time, the cappuccinos,mocha,hot chocolates I pump out are incredible.
the coffee is always brewed at the perfect temperature, I would recommend this machine to everyone

Very happy with this machine the coffee is very consistent and the taste is great. The temperature is adjustable to your liking. My daughter and I bought one each. Fantastic.

Love love love this machine
Coffee is perfect every time.
Really easy to use
Only had one issue with it and that is the milk no longer froths like it used to. So can only make flat whites no cappuccino or lattes. Consent affect taste just appearance.
Have tried cleaning all the milk frother part but hasn’t made any difference

Bought this as a wedding gift for my brother. Absolutely loved it. Easy to use and has a lot of settings for everyone's use. There is no standing around holding a jug to froth or steam milk....you just hit the lever and it does it for you with pre-programmed temperature and time! The coffee tastes perfect every time

Coffee quality was an absolute delight, Lavazza ORO and Pablo and Rustys coffee beans worked amazingly through the grind process to give a light fluffy cream'e, a great coffee machine for any home.

We purchased the Breville Oracle from good guys a week ago, absolutely love this machine! We had the Breville Barista previous and loved that machine but decided to treat ourselves with the Oracle. Being a coffee lover this machine does not disappoint. Don’t think we will be buying coffee from a cafe in a hurry. Definitely 100% recommend booking in for the white glove service that is free and provided at purchase of this awesome machine. Emily from Breville was fantastic,could not be happier with her knowledge and the personal service of her coming to our house and showing the features and run down of the machine. Would definitely recommend this machine to family and friends.

Our Breville Oracle is the beating heart of our kitchen! Great machine great coffee
(if you buy fresh roasted beans)
Only criticism is the service costs! Brace yourself come service time! $$$$$
And don’t assume at service time they will replace all the O rings! Yes we paid for a service and had an O ring let go with in 6 months of service and were told they don’t replace anything unless it’s broken!??
Our leaking O ring caused our power safety switch to trip out daily until we fixed the machine?
Breville could do a lot better with the after sale side of business!

I did a lot of research on a number of brands and machines before settling on this one and I couldn't be happier. It certainly is cafe quality, if not better. I've been told I'm pretty fussy about my coffee, but this machine consistently produces a great brew with the touch of a few buttons. If you live in Perth like me, make sure you book in the White Glove demo by Emily, she is very professional, friendly and has good tips on getting the most out of the machine to produce the coffee you and your friends like, as well as cleaning and maintenance.

The quality of the coffee brewed can be adjusted to one’s palette with the variable grind control and brewing time.
Consistency in the quality of coffee being brewed can be controlled daily pending on the age of the beans.
The adjustable temperature control is terrific.

Now I can't say that I am an expert with coffee machines and I fine my self regularly looking at the manual but this is a great coffee machine. It is consistently good and the build quality of it is great. Only issue I face is cleaning it.

The machine produces beautiful coffee, the machine is very consistent, with the veraible temperature
you can have whatever temperature you like. The problem we have had when grinding in to the portafilter, it kept grinding filling the coffee shute above the tamper, and not shutting off.
We contacted Harvey/Norman and Breville arranged to pick up the machine. They replaced the Tamper Gearbox & Assembly + new Tamper Fan. All Steam Boiler pipes & probe seals. Took 3 weeks to get back, All working perfectly, Thanks Breville.
