Breville Oracle Touch BES990 Espresso Machine
Overview
The Breville Oracle Touch strikes the balance between convenience and quality with dead-simple operation and the prosumer-inspired basics to back it up. True to its name, the Touch flaunts a vibrant 4-inch touchscreen that lets you zip through controls and menus, change settings, and program and save custom drinks—all at the flick of a finger. The streamlined screen means friendlier operation for owners and guests alike, while also enabling custom drinks and labels to make your mornings easier. The Oracle Touch's impressive featureset finds its roots in traditional espresso machine designs: dedicated brew and steam boilers, PID temperature control, a heated brew group, and built-in pre-infusion (to name a few). And just like the original Oracle, the Touch sports an automatic dosing and self-tamping grinder (that now supports both single and double espresso baskets), volumetric shot programming, and best-in-class automatic milk steaming that rivals most cafes.
Features and Functionality
- Dual Boiler - Dedicated brew and steam boilers offer fast heat times and PID-controlled temperature stability.
- Electronically Heated Group - The group head of the Oracle also sports a dedicated heating element to keep shots hot.

- Auto-on - Set a start time on your machine for a piping hot shot right out of bed.
- Oracle Steam Wand - The Oracle's steam wand monitors temperature and introduce an adjustable amount of air, creating the perfect milk foam and temperature every time.
- 58mm Group with Solenoid - The Oracle Touch's brew head is a classic 58mm, and also has a built-in solenoid valve for backflushing.
- Volumetric or Timed Shots - The Touch offers extra flexibility with programmable shot times set by volume, time or monitored manually.
