Oracle Touch (BES990)

Can you put the drip tray into dishwasher? I always do that on my oracle touch

Get the Breville Oracle Touch. You can upgrade the girlfriend later.

No regrets so far, 2 days in. lol. It’s so quiet! The steam wand is so powerful compared to other machines I’ve used (Breville Oracle touch, Breville Nespresso pod machine). Its small footprint is much appreciated, though I find myself already longing to get a drip tray with an integrated scale for that little bit of extra cup room. Heats up quickly, and seems to heat the portafilter up quickly as well, if I forget to lock it in place the night before. One question: I seem to be setting the Df64V grind setting at least 5 or more notches higher than with the flair 58. Is this normal? I’m using both with filter paper at the bottom and the flair 58+2 puck screen at the top…

As a former 2 times Oracle Touch owner, don't buy it. It broke, twice. Descaling issues and more. I have a Bambino Plus and a seperate grinder (Eureka) - tastes sooo much better than the Oracle.

As an owner of the oracle touch. I can vouch that I have amazing coffees every single day. Amazing machine

The barista pro is the best of the affordable ones. I started with the express later upgraded to the pro had that a while loved it then thought to upgrade to the oracle touch hated it now I have the oracle jet and so far I love it.

I have the touch one. It's life changing. Solid 7.5 to an 8/10 coffee and its 3 buttons to press. Highly recommended over the lower end models. Auto milk and frothing is glorious.

I’d always go with the non touchscreen model. I had the regular Oracle with buttons, and a friend had the newer touchscreen version. After using his machine, the interface really bothered me and it was noticeably slow to navigate. I’d also imagine the software will only get slower or more buggy over time. I also agree with the other responses that it’s best to avoid an all in one machine. The built in grinder is extremely frustrating to use and struggles to grind consistently at the dose you want. It took less than a week before I was so fed up with it that I ended up buying a Niche Zero.
