Best price i have seen on the oracle touch so far. I assume you could get it cheaper in-store by asking for a better price too.
Breville The Oracle Touch Coffee Machine (Brushed Stainless Steel) $1994 (Was $2444) + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi

Great price for new.
Can get cheaper off Breville eBay for a refurbished model for those who can’t quite stretch the new price.
$1650 here with a coupon but has been lower.
I will be going refurbished on my next machine. Most comments or reviews I’ve found online suggest refurbished models have been care free since purchase.

I bought this new approx four years ago and it has needed to be repaired twice. I would not buy refurbished.

If buying new didn't work out for you, why are you against buying a refurb for a significant discount?
- 1
Because in both instances I was covered by a warranty or ACL. Additionally, since it broke twice new, I have less faith in the longevity of a refurbished unit.

Bought mine 6 years ago and also needed repair twice (the non touch screen version).
Both times only the wand needed fixing, the second time I broke it by being too rough with the arm (accident).
Pretty cheap to fix. I am very lucky as the authorized repairer is very close to my house. So I am very reluctant to buy any other brand.

I had mine break twice in 4 or 5 years or so too. Luckily I had JB HIFI extended warranty and I got full refund in gift cards the second time.
I loved the machine when it worked though.
I changed to a La Specialista Manual Coffee Machine and it has been trouble free for 4 years. It was about $650 on disount. Not quite as many features as the oracle though

Seems new wasn't that great either. Refurbished is cheaper and has already been fixed.
- 0
Same. Within first two years had to go back twice. Apart from that it's been "ok".
Functionally, the pump/infusion/steam aspects of the machine are all great but the grinder is ass. Can make much better coffee with a cheaper machine and decent grinder.
- 0
I concur - I had no end of trouble with this machine.
I ended up getting a less automatic version with the grinder. I had to ACL this via Good Guys a few times.
While it seemed scary to have to grind and tamp it becomes quite easy (and fun).
As long as you don’t change beans every day of the week and need to change the grind it’s fine.
And being less automated it’s cheaper!

Not sure about that at all. There were a number of posts just this week on issues with refurbished models. Having dealt with Breville in the past on warranty and slightly out of warranty repairs there is no way I’d be opening the refurbished can of worms. Unless you have the tools and know how, stick to new and buy extended warranty for a Breville espresso machine

ACL makes extended warranty not strictly necessary, although it's certainly easier and less back and forth so you pay for convenience.
I agree don't buy refurbished.
Breville fixed my 3 year old machine recently when it died out of warranty but it took a few emails and mentions of ACL to get them to offer their 'goodwill' repair…- 2
Agree re ACL vs extended warranty, I’ve never purchased one but this was the one situation I wish I had one. These things (particularly the older dual boiler model) break down, so they make life difficult to reduce their costs. First breakdown was steam wand, fixed under warranty, next breakdown 6 months later (wand and triac - most likely botched first service) just out of warranty - lots of back and forth and had to roll out the ACL and VCAT line, eventually got the “goodwill” line. 1 year later, same issue “goodwill” parts only, had to pay a BS $600 labour. Sold for parts 12 months later after the next breakdown. Grinder still going strong

Two of those seemed relatively resolved with a better solution, including one who got the whole thing refunded, and then sent a brand new machine. That’s a deal I’d risk.
My previous research was that majority of what I read online was good re: Breville Refurbished. This was early to mid last year so perhaps things have changed as others seem to be also finding out.

Its so hard to find reliable information about the different models , the ability to auto dial in the grind or at least make suggestions to increase or decrease the grind settings , and the ability to auto froth plant milks. Seems the top model the dual boiler does those things but unclear if the touch does?
- 0
I don't think there are any models that does auto dial in? The best so far are the guided dial ins.

The top model does auto dial in, oracle dual boiler.
There is a new ninja that apparently does it even better but not available in australia yet.

No, it doesn't.

Its literally one of the selling points on their website that it auto dials in the shot, would have taken you 10 seconds to check.

Get the Ninja Luxe if you want the machine to suggest grinder settings.

It isn't hard, it is top model that will do that.
The older ones like the one posted you dial in based on how much volume is being extended l extracted.
It isn't a perfect science, but it works pretty well and you can make a latte about 90% as good as you would get at the coffee shop once you get a good dial and froth/pour your milk well.

fyi, they are retiring this model. So might be problematic getting support in 5-10 years
- 6
Support from whom? I had my last Breville Oracle machine for 8 years, and Breville still supported it.
- -1
Yep Breville has already launched two newer models Oracle Jet BES985 and Oracle Dual Boiler so they're trying to clear out this older model.
- 0
There is enough 3rd party support out there for parts I reckon you'll be alright for awhile.
But any coffee machine that has been retired by a manufacturer will always be hard to support in 10 years, yes.

very meh machine

The machine is ok but the grinder is sub par
- 0
This is a great machine, personally I like. the 980 as the LCD panel doesn't really phase me.
Like all coffee machines, scale builds up which will kill the heating element. My recommendation is to get extended warranty, ~5 years to ensure you are covered.

Why is this so expensive for a single boiler? What so special? Genuine question as I have the Barista Pro and an external grinder and it does a Greta job.
- -1
Its a dual boiler not single!
The question is valid though about the cost considering ninja have brought out a automatic that smashes this feature set and price, just not available in Australia yet.

Which ninja?
I thought the luxe cafe is available here.

It's dual boiler.

The old Oracle units are dual boiler. The new version has a weird heating arrangement and is not a dual boiler, although there is also a dual boiler version of the new one.
I was surprised when the Oracle brand automatically meant it was not a dual boiler

This is also what I thought. Let me do more research.

None needed. The one OP posted is a dual boiler

I've had the non-LCD model for close to 10 years now - serviced it once last year (replaced one solenoid) that cost me $255. Bloody love mine. You get to be lazy (automatic) when you want to or go a bit more manual when you have the time =).

Have this machine for 5 years.. going nice and strong. Great price

Have the non-lcd also going on 10 years and it’s still the greatest appliance I’ve ever bought. Holding out for the new oracle dual boiler to come in at something around $2,500 and I’ll upgrade

I'm a bit in the same bucket. I wouldn't mind the upgrade but in no rush at current prices

I am seriously considering ditching my choice subscription. All too often the particular model of a thing (and I would consider relatively mainstream) I am interested in was not reviewed in the comparisons, and all too often they seem to prioritise things that frankly do not matter.
I find it a good starting point but still need to do additional research.

I am in same situation, separate grinder is messy and no auto milk frothing, its more a side grade with increased ease of workflow, so hard to justify the cost

Not really unless you want more automation.
Dual boiler with a good grinder makes better coffee.- 2
It is the same. The only difference is the auto tamper with this oracle version. I don't know if the Manuel dual boiler does auto milk froth, but most of the time I do it manually because I use alt milk and you'll get the best finish manually.
- 1
Dual boiler has no milk frothing automation so need to have your own temp gauge making ti way more difficult to get right
- 0
I upgraded recently, mainly because my old Dual Boiler died and base Oracle went on sale for a close enough price to try the upgrade.
In terms of the raw espresso quality there's nothing extra its givng you. If anything a separate grinder gives you more control over dose.
However if you're after convenience I think its worth it. Much more than I expected:
- Auto grind+tamp is way less messy
- I use the auto milk frother all the time. Turns out I only care about getting the shot good, and the milk frothing is pretty much fully automatable. Also helps if my Wife makes me a coffee as she's a non-coffee drinker and doesn't have to figure out how to froth milk.
- All the stuff that matters is still manual depending on your workflow. E.g. I can tare the Portafilter, auto grind+tamp, then weigh the shot after.One thing I'd say is I heard the touch version is much more fault prone. No idea if its true but I was told its the most repaired Breville Espresso machine, due to how they've had to arrange the espresso components around the touch screen or something. And I don't see what the touch screen adds on top of the base model.

had mine for 5-6 years now, has been flawless. actually didn't expect to last this long with no issues.

I am a huge coffee snob - having this machine has saved me a huge amount of money from going to the coffee shop.

An extended warranty on a machine like this is imperative.
I had the non -touch.Bought through TGG's. Glad I bought that piece of mind. 4 repairs in 5 years,.- 2
What problems did you have? I was looking at getting a refurb (non touch).
- 0
Not the original commenter, but BDBs commonly leak from the steam boiler. Damages other components and can cause a chain reaction of problems.
Also not uncommon for descaling solution to trick the control board into thinking the steam boiler is full of water when it isn't, so it heats instead of pumping water in, damaging the element.
- 3
They quite literally replaced half the 'guts' of the machine, over time. Including steam and brew boilers.
In fact, I used to the extent of repairs required to have my warranty extended. So Breville did come to the party but it was a slog.- 0
I got a dual boiler(refurbished) just before covid, it's been really awesome until recently.
To be fair, the number of coffees it's made compared to the amount of maintenance it's been given is not stacked in it's favour. Recently replaced some o-rings and a fitting that had broken causing internal water leakage. Certainly got our money worth from it, still working but has some bad pours occasionally.
Would buy refurbished again, probably like for like.
Worth noting they are very easy to work on, and there's plenty of guides around for most repair items.
