711 $1 coffee >>>>>>>>>
That’s 3089 coffees. 8ish years of coffees for the price of this machine alone.
Id take the 7/11 coffeeIf that's what you would prefer to drink then you're definently not their target market.
Guess their target market is fools?
You can get a much better cup of coffee from a setup way less.@dylanando: Wowsers, no need to get salty and insult the community, just stating fact, this machine has a target market, and you're clearly not in their sights. If 7-11 coffee is what you like and prefer good on you.
Tastes like shit, no point.

Rocket appartamento coffee machine + grinder set, starting at $3200 ish
Unless being compact or fool proof is an absolute need (or you just dig the cute touch screen), don't see why anyone should buy the Oracle than this?
This actually does have features that the Rocket doesn't. To name a few… dual boilers, PID temp control, screen with shot timer, automation features including automated milk frother. It's not the set up for me but I reckon they have jammed a lot of real features into a single product which looks good in your kitchen etc. If you're not going to spend the time to learn how to make good coffee then this will also hold your hand and help you get to something decent with less effort.
I stand corrected, i confuse the appartamento to another model of having dual boiler (but it isn't).
Just imo, the Oracle still doesn't justify the price tag… i would still want the breville dual boiler
$3200 for a single boiler? Big oof…
I made a mistake, i want to neg myself now
What's wrong with a single boiler?
Nothing wrong, but you would want to extract your coffee first at the lower temp, and then heat your milk, the coffee extract temp is an important factor. A double boiler maintains two temps.
HX tho
Independent dual boiler
Who cleans, repairs, refills and makes sure in runs well every day? The wife? I just want to press a button and get my coffee, any extra work and the planets rotation changes for me for a machine like this.
For your coffee needs and care level, there is 7-11, Starbucks, Gloria Jeans.
Drinking 1 coffee per day for $1 @7-11, that's 8.5 years of prepared coffee, just for the price of the machine… ☕
No cleaning up, buying beans, maintenance. I'm sold.
A few minutes walk from home to Maccas & coffee shops, & a little further to 7-11.For the times I don't get to the store, the free pod machine suffices.
Was $3019 just before EOFY at appliances online delivered, also got The Good Guys to price beat @ $2950.
Picked up a brand new ‘in the original packing’ at half the price on gumtree…..it seems the guy had been delivered a wrecked machine and then got a replacement but he had had enough of it by then….I don’t know how that justifies selling a brand new one for half the price…. Anyway…. The machine is simply brilliant. Makes awesome coffee with zilch fuss. Downside is that I have stopped liking the coffee from my favourite cafe in the cbd…. Which is a shame. Love the machine
Great result.
justifies selling a brand new one for half the price
When you're dealing in niche 2nd hand goods, you have to drop the price. No one is going to pay more for an item which may or may not come with support or warranty.
I'm wondering why he didn't just return it rather than selling it at half price.
I know & he provided me an email with an invoice from Breville’s authorised repairer stating that this is the replacement for the broken machine and that this can be used to claim the official 2 year warranty!!!

Is this the same? Less than $2000
Edit:
Touch vs automatic. The cheaper one is automatic,Nope this is the previous model
Nope, this is the simpler model. No touch screen.
The touch screen model lets you control a little bit more compared to the non-touch screen model. Both are good though.
Price-wise, I'd go for the non-touchscreen model, but for those who wants the machine to handle everything, then go touchscreen.
For $1000 different with non-essential benefits, better to buy the automatic one.imho.
How is it less than $2000?
My bad, thought it was 2300ish

My advice was always the same: BES920 with very good grinder will be below $2k. With very little investment (time, not money) into skills It will make better coffee.
Agreed. Also, an all-in-one solution is not good when your machine has to under go repairs. My Sunbeam EM7000 is in the shop right now, and I can use the grinder to use the grind for other coffee types.
I have a BES920: $950
Eureka Mignon Specialita: $749Total $1699
The Specialita is a far far far better grinder than the one in the BES990
Got the same combo, you can get the specialita for under $600 if you look hard enough.
You can get it from overseas for sub 600, but I went with the local warranty
Around $1,200 for both if you shop around.
I wouldn't buy an Oracle Touch but I did buy the Oracle to replace my Breville Dual Boiler in 2018. I know I could buy two Dual Boilers and have change, but when my Oracle dies (we all know they do), I will be buying another one. The automation fits in with my lifestyle and I drink more coffee with the Oracle vs the Dual Boiler. If you want to have full control of the process, the Oracle is not for you- but I have better consistency with it because of the auto grind and tamp.
Check Productreview- the Oracle's are popular even if they are expensive.
When the Oracle dies, the repairs are quite straightforward. Don't junk your broken one, but sell it for cheap off Gumtree or eBay for parts.
Totally agree with this assessment. If you want near full automation get it, but if you love the "art" of it, get a proper Italian machine. Horses for courses.
If a coffee boiler's this expensive, that coffee better be goddamn healing elixir
It is, the coffee lets me perform miracles every morning. It's a miracle that I am able to get out of bed for coffee.
Great coffee machine, got it from Bing Lee in May/2018 with 20% off ebay for $2527.40 +Bonus Coffee Promotion
Very good price. Covid tax on these was also huge. When my Dual Boiler went bust, for a "replacment" through HNs extended warranty, they wanted me to pay the difference! Insane.
Bought one after Breville Dual Boiler kicked the bucket. People will scoff at the $3k price tag (HN wanted $3.6k before I finally got the HN owner to call me back following day after idiot on the floor didn't accept AO as price match), but with my wife and I at home alot with WFH, Covid and kids, with up to 5 coffees per day this is great. Yes the touch screen is a bit of a gimmick (I.e. the non touch Oracle would also be good), but the in built grinder and tamp system is consistent (much better than a human doing it), extractions are good once dialled in and milk temp and froth consistency is excellent. Once pre set, you can make coffee one handed and under a minute.
YMMV.
Let me know when there's a deal for an automated coffee machine that'll bring me a freshly brewed cup to the bedside before I get up.
NB: SHE never gets up before I do.
Just bought one Oracle Touch from appliances online - reduced price from $3089 to $3019. Asked the online representative for a discount
Could get JB Hifi to price match that price if Appliance Online could provide a quote.
My humble opinion and advice for people who can't justify its price, and prefer drinking 7/11, Maccas or pods. Instead of investing heavily in a machine like this, I would recommend getting an Aeropress or v60. They are easy to use and clean and make great coffee out of fresh beans you grind with relatively cheap hand grinders. I can't express enough how good they are ( I have a Breville dual boiler that I haven't used in months now because I am enjoying the Aeropress and v60). You can still make cortado/latte if you prefer milk-based coffee.
I am not comparing these to a fully automatic coffee machine they are under different categories but I believe you will get much better coffee than 7/11 or Maccas etc.
I don't have an Oracle, but have a BES920 - one of the nice things about using it is the manual steam lever, which I think is still on the cheaper model but looks like they got rid of it on the touch model.
It is a pity neither have a pressure gauge.
If the two Oracle models were the same price, I would actually buy the one with the steam lever and no touch screen.
With the way we are spoilt with touch user experience on our devices, most appliances that try and do touch UI end up simply reminding me of a bad take on one of last decade's cheap phones.
If they are unable to keep up with what we look at on our devices every day, they should not bother as they will just be making it worse.
Forget those nasty touch screens - give me those lovely lit buttons every time.The Oracle without the LCD touch often goes on sale for less than $2000…the coffee output is the same.
I have this exact model, and love it. The Union Shopper got me it for $2722.
Appliance Online is just above $3200 now …
Wow. Now on AO - $3,869 with a little sticker saying best price guaranteed…
Not sure how this is a bargain if you're after the best coffee set up for $3100.
