Oracle Jet (BES985BSS1BNA1)

Love my jet ive had it a few weeks it makes amazing coffee. Tip to adjust the tampfan im pulling 19g of coffee consistantly instead of the 22g standard.

Probably a Sage Oracle Jet. Very noobie friendly

Came to say the this exact thing. Get an Oracle Jet. It’s a great machine that heats up instantly.

The jet has a miniature thermojet right at the group to heat it and help with temp stability.

I think this issue is overblown. I have had my jet for three months and have run light roast through it without any issues.

I like the Breville touch impress. Consistent easy repeatable results with my own beans. But I wish I had the oracle jet. Slightly nicer.

You have a nice budget and for a beginner I don't think there is a nicer semi-auto machine for more consistently good drinks than the Breville Oracle Jet.

The grinder is great...it is stepless and because Breville bought Baratza, the burrs have been upgraded. The Oracle Jet also uses a more robust grinding path that (in my experience) holds the settings much more accurately and should provide better durability over time.

It has been great for me, espresso is really awesome and very consistent. The only thing they really messed up in Jet is the hot water outlet for Americano - it is messy as hell. I saw that dual boilder had a different module for hot water so maybe it works better.
