What’s so great about Breville’s The Oracle Jet?

1. Cafe quality coffee at the touch of a button

You don’t need to sign up to a day-long barista course to operate The Oracle Jet. It has a simple, brightly-lit touch screen that allows you to swipe and select the exact coffee you want to make. 

It’s also great for afternoon coffee catch ups with friends and family at home, as you can easily prepare everyone’s weird and wacky coffee orders without having to debate the difference between a cappuccino and a cafe latte. And yes, before you ask, there are settings for different milk types, so you’ll always achieve the silkiest microbubbles even if you’re using soy, almond or oat milk.

The value [The Oracle Jet] offers in terms of convenience, consistency, and customisation justifies the investment. Whether you’re a coffee novice or an experienced aficionado, it’s sure to impress and satisfy your coffee cravings.”

2. Precision without thinking

Making exceptional coffee requires precision. The grind has to be just right. The amount of coffee used has to be just right. The extraction temperature has to be just right. The extraction pressure has to be just right… and, well, you get the picture. It’s all too much to think about before you’ve had your morning coffee. So just let the machine do the thinking for you.

I am able to walk away while my milk is heating up and not worry about burning it. The taste is restaurant quality!”

Real time sensors also allow the machine to analyse how the coffee was extracted, so you can make adjustments to the grind and improve your technique with each cup.

3. Worthy of kitchen counter status

In recent years there’s been a trend to hide away as many kitchen appliances as possible, but The Oracle is so pretty and so practical that you’ll want to display it proudly on your kitchen bench. It comes in three timeless colourways (brushed stainless steel, black truffle and sea salt) that will fit right into your home’s existing decor. 

Unlike other coffee machines on the market, The Oracle Jet has a compact footprint as everything including the grinder, tamper and milk frother are contained within the machine’s sleek frame. 

The machine itself is also quite a compact size for the sheer ability it has. I have limited bench space as well as low cupboard heights and it slotted in beautifully.”
