In love!! What we’ve been waiting for
We bought our Breville Oracle touch machine last week from Harvey Norman and have been using it easily since but didn’t realise how little we knew about it until we had Tanya from the White Glove service come today and show us all the tricks about the best coffee machine. Tanya was very helpful, friendly, patient, very experienced and knowledgeable about the machine. She answered all of our questions and the tips to maintaining it. Looking forward to making our own best coffee, couldn’t have asked for more.

Look no further. Breville has produced the ultimate coffee machine
The Breville Oracle Touch is a beautifully designed domestic coffee machine which out performs all of my previous machines, including both Jura and Saeco. The twin boilers, the infinitely variable control over temperatures, grind adjustability, and the ability to make coffees to a precise specification time after time leave competing machines well behind.
The Breville in home training (free with your Oracle Touch purchase) will assist you in understanding the intricacies of good coffee making and show you how easy it is to replicate consistent coffees to suit your particular preference.
Well done Breville and thank you to Tanya for imparting great coffee making knowledge

Simply the Best!
As far as home coffee machines go, this is the best one I've ever used or tried! It makes an amazing coffee and the whole process is really simple yet you still have great control over the finished product. There are so many handy features such as the built-in timer so the machine is ready and waiting for you in the morning or the ability to save personalised drinks with your name. Cleaning is a breeze too with the automated milk wand cleaning function. It's certainly not a cheap machine but you really can't go wrong with this machine if you want café quality coffee at home.

Great Machine and Superb Coffee
If you are wanting a coffee machine that delivers delicious espresso and latte with that fresh coffee aroma the Breville Oracle is for you. After our fully automatic DeLonghi machine died we looked at lots of different machine types. Then Charmaine at Good Guys Orsborne Park provided gave us a demonstration. The Breville Oracle was a stand out compared with all the other coffee machines. While it takes a little longer to use and clean than our previous machine it is worth the time as it produces a far superior coffee and I now don’t need sugar...Read more
in my latte because it’s not bitter. Emily in WA provided our White Glove Service explaining every aspect of the machine in detail ensuring all our questions were answered. We now know what coffee to buy and how to get the best coffee from the machine. It was extremely worthwhile having Emily come to our home, in fact it was an absolute delight to spend over two hours with Emily learning about our Breville Oracle. Fantastic service. Thank you Breville, Charmaine and Emily. We are enjoying the best coffee of our lives

I have been using the oracle touch from when they first came out.
I have used 2 other coffee machine before and they were more in repair than being in use.
This machine is very easy to use and cleaning as well.
it took me a while to make a perfect cappuccino.
I had my machine replaced with a new one when the grounding basket was stuck.

Finally a great coffee at home
It took a bit of tweaking, but with the help of the excellent Ryan from the White Glove Service (completely free, in your home, one hour demo as part of buying the Touch) we can now make an absolutely perfect coffee every time. Simple to use, quick, no mess. The price is a hurdle but this beats other home coffee experiences hands down.

The best wake me up
Purchased by my hubby as my mother’s day prezzie in May 2018.
It has replaced my old Delinghi machine. It’s buit with great thought. The accessory drawer fits well with easy access. The water tank size and the access to fill it, so easy. Love how I can customise my drinks, the temperature and brew amount absolutely fabulous. The best tasting coffee with cafe choice is awesome. It’s so quick & easy. The touch screen that incorporates all the instructions is a blessing. The customer service number is visible for easy access.
Now the best part...Read more

Inspiration to get up in the morning.
Purchased this machine after lots of research and justification. Love the fact that it’s dual boiler and making coffee to take to work rushing out the door is easy and fast. The auto start up is fantastic, it’s ready to use when I’m ready for my morning takeaway. Great touch screen and individual program feature is fantastic so you will never forget your favourite brew. Simple to use and clean up is minimal. Now working on my latte art.

Amazing Machine
This might be a slightly biased review because I absolutely love this machine or at least I love the coffee it makes me every morning!
I have been having all sorts of fun playing home barista since we got it. The machine itself is beautifully made and robustly finished in stainless steel. Its a real, proper coffee machine so there is a learning curve and the coffee you use has a big impact on the final results.The art of frothing milk is what I am working on at the moment but I'll have that down soon, I think. Cleaning up is a breeze to because of the quality components its made from. Very happy customer here,

Awesome Machine and white glove service was amazing
So impressed with this machine when we first purchased two weeks ago but now after having Tanya from Breville come into our home today and give some advice we won’t be leaving the house for coffee ! Wow the white glove service offered by breville is amazing we can now produce coffee at home at Cafe standard . Highly recommend the machine but make sure you take up the white glove service and let Tanya turn you into an at home barista!

Fabulous machine, worth the money!
This was a big deal for us to spend this money on this machine but it has been worth it in my opinion. It is surprisingly easy to use, looks fabulous, requires virtually no care, easy to clean (the surface doesn't show marks easily), you can customise all the settings to ensure you get the coffee the way you like it every time. Was quite easy to set up and looks fabulous. It feels like a real quality machine. Breville service amazing to date also. And the Good Guys were awesome to deal with also!

Great coffee easy to use machine
I have enjoyed using a high end manual coffee machine paired with a commercial quality grinder for some years until recently purchasing my Breville The Oracle Touch BES990 from Harvey Norman.
That said my old pairing was messy & you always had to wait at least 30 minutes for the manual machine to warm up where as the new machine makes no mess & is ready to brew from turn in just 5 or so minutes.
The quality of the Brevilles extraction is almost the same as my previous $4000 manual machine & the milk texturing is almost as good as what I ac...Read more
hieved too. Probably made 10,000 plus coffees on my old system. The key difference here is that a pure novice can achieve cafe quality coffee & my wife will happily use the new machine but was reluctant to use the old system. At the price point my only negative is not in its operation, which I believe is superb, but rather in the plasticky build feel of the machine compared to my stainless steel machine of old.Similar opinion?

Great product, great after sales service!
First real coffee machine we bought. A bit skeptical being a newbie had no experience or whatsoever doing the process. I checked reviews online, went to Harvey Norman to have a look and was assisted by a lovely sales lady who took time to listen on my concerns and straightaway referred this product to me and wifey. (Not knowing I was already reviewing Breville)
Moving forward we are already happy on using the machine but when Tanya arrive from white glove service by Breville and showed me more the functionality of it I was more amaze on how great this machine is. Great customer after sales service by Tanya. Money worth spending☺

Oracle by Name, Oracle by performance!
I love this machine and in fact have purchased 4 of the same. None of which has let us down. The ability to control all functions is a bonus as I am fussy about my coffee. It pack plenty of power across steam, heat and grind and I couldn't be more happy. The original white glove service was excellent, however I believe this has been discontinued. The price tag is up there, however in my opinion worth every cent. Theres nothing else on the market other than commercial machines which in a lot of cased don't tick the boxes the Oracle does. Do your self a favour and get one:)

Spoils you for having coffee out
This machine is so easy to use - out of the box it makes nice coffee but my tuning it to your taste it makes great coffee. Very easy to clean, I like the steam purge on the steam nozzle to clean out the milk from the nozzle- we have had a Saeco for many years (it served us well) but various parts started failing on it - this machine makes much better coffee and much more consistently just by the touch of a few buttons.
Major problem now is that we are so critical when we buy a coffee in one of the many coffee shops - maybe we can produce a pa...Read more

Brilliant Machine that meets all expecttions
We bought our Oracle Touch in Jan 2018. The coffee is amazing, the taste is absolutely as good as that bought at our local Fremantle boutique coffee house - which also roasts beans of amazing quality. The machine met all expectations from the start but after we booked and experienced the White Glove service with the amazing Emily (WA) who informed us of all the possibilities this machine offers, and realised the Oracle's true potential. Emily set personalised coffees for the family and helped us maximise the quality of the coffees we could prep...Read more
are at home - thanks Emily, you are amazing and we are now drinking cafe quality coffees at home - awesome. Emily was with us for over 2 and a half hours!!!! I am thrilled with the machine, service and quality. So glad I bought this machine and not another expensive European machine which was my original idea. Thanks Emily for your expert service.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Oracle Touch + White Glove Service = WINNER!
Superb machine - best coffee we've made in years. Simple to use, super easy to clean and it makes an exceptional cuppa! The machine does the heavy lifting and gives you the consistency, taste and texture you'd expect from the laneway cafes! Great product to own. Best of all, we took up Breville's White Glove Service in Melbourne and Tanya came by today and brought our skill making up to a whole 'nother level!! Tanya was extremely patient, friendly and knowledgeable and showed us her many tips and tricks to get even more out of what is already a great product. Can't wait to perfect our latte art!! Thanks Tanya & the Breville team!

The Perfect Coffee
My husband searched for weeks, reading reviews, watching Youtube, and speaking to baristas. We wanted the perfect coffee, the same as you would get when you go to your favorite cafe. We actually found it with the Oracle touch. Once more, the best part to buying this machine, apart from the great coffee, is the white glove service that is offered. At first we didn't think much of it when Harvey Norman offered the service as part of the package, but, when Tanya actually came to our house and spent time talking to us about what we like and don't...Read more
like in a coffee, what we expect from a coffee machine, all I can say, is that if you don't take up the offer, you are a fool!! We thought we had it all under control, but as Tanya said it's all in the grind, and a few simple facts about the coffee bean. The service was actually an experience, well worth the time, it's amazing how the little things make a big difference!! Tanya is so knowledgeable and down to earth, when talking to her, that you feel like you're old friends catching up over a cup of coffee. The machine sells itself, it's the white glove service you need to make sure is part of the sale...best thing ever!!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

The best coffee machine
I love this coffee machine- I got it for Christmas 2 Year’s ago- and can honestly say it’s still awesome. Semi self cleaning and self tamping. The shots come out perfectly. I don’t find much different in the cappuccinos or lat’e setting. We had a problem just the other day with steam coming out the bottom of the machine- took it to the authorised repair place in Ballarat( they are great to deal with by the way) it has a broken steam inlet valve. A credit to Breviile- who I rang - and they have their own customer service team just for the oracle machine. They have honoured the warranty even though it is out by a few weeks. So to re cap- great machine, good service product back up and awesome care from Breville.

Ok so time for an update review. It’s the new year 2022. The coffee machine has stopped working effectively again. No milk texture at all..Off to the authorised repair place - which is an hour away - ... Read more
to go with the repair place that is authorised to repair this machine - the last place we took it to-which was also a repair place -but not preferred oracle - took 4 weeks! So far the new place has had it for a week. Rang and informed me - 2 x solenoids have gone in switch and pump, steam wand needs replacing & seals around the pump are leaking. The tidy sum of $650!! Considering it was looked at and fixed in Dec 2017 - just over a year I would not expect problems so soon. I’m not sure I will buy this brand again - whilst I was dropping off the machine another guy was picking his 1 year old oracle up and complaining that he shouldn’t have issues this soon. My hubby likes the fact that its easy to use - I would prefer a manual machine that has less parts to break down. Next time it stops working will probably be its last!Similar opinion?

Questions & Answers
shamra tankersleyasked
How do you run the descale cycle on the 990 machine? I open the descale with a screw driver. Now what?
1 answer
I simply ran the descale clean cycle after selecting it in settings.
However I only use filtered water in the machine and our water in Auckland, NZ is not very hard, so descaleing isnt much of a problem here.

I cannot remove the grinding parts for cleaning, cannot turn to unlock, is jammed solid. Do not want to force it.

I continue to be impressed with my first Breville Oracle Touch and recently bought a second machine for another home. Both are now providing consistent coffee just as I like it. Well done Breville.
