Sage - The Oracle Touch, Brushed Stainless Steel

Product Information

If you don’t like the idea of struggling to turn a heavy coffee machine around every time you need to remove the water tank, then don’t worry, Sage isn’t keen on the idea either. Underneath the drip tray, a plastic dial allows you to deploy wheels under the machine. Turn the dial, and the wheels make it possible to easily spin the Oracle around without lifting it or dragging it across the countertop. Sage Oracle Touch review: Coffee quality It's hard to beat the coffee made by a professional barista with a commercial machine, yet the Oracle Touch emulates numerous of the same traits. The Bambino and Bambino Plus come with the same portafilter, it's not the same higher quality more pro looking portafilter that you get with all the other Sage machines, it's a cheaper portafilter with more plastic, and with stubby spouts, and I'm just not a big fan.

Breville Worldwide is the manufacturer, and they sell their coffee machines all over the world, but the Breville brand name was sold in Europe in the 80s, so they can't use that name here, which is why they sell under the “Sage Appliances” brand in the UK and most of Europe. Quite often I'm asked whether I'd go for the Gaggia Classic Pro vs Sage Bambino Plus, that's a very common comparison question, but I think the Duo Temp Pro is a much more obvious comparison to the Classic. Who are they for? As with integrated grinder espresso machines, this kind of machine is best suited to people who want to develop home barista skills. You can reduce the skill requirement by using the dual walled baskets they all come with as well as the traditional baskets, but if you don't want a learning curve, you'd be much better looking at the assisted machines. This is essentially the same machine as the Creatista Uno, only in a more premium all-stainless steel shell, and with a colour digital display, more milk texture and temperature settings and one touch milkies. The Breville Oracle Touch is significantly more expensive than the Breville Barista Touch because it has a Dual Boiler design. This allows for simultaneous extraction and steaming, while the Barista Touch only performs these functions separately. • SizeWith the best coffee subscription in the UK , you'll never have to worry about running out of great coffee; we'll ensure that you always have the perfect espresso at your fingertips! To help you decide if this machine is best for you, let's walk through the pros and cons of the Sage Barista Touch.

The cleverness doesn't end there though, the user interface on the Precision Brewer gives you control over brew temperature, bloom time, bloom volume and flow rate, so this means you can play around with these variables to dial in the beans you're using, to get as close to perfect as possible. The Oracle Touch, like the Barista Touch, features a three seconds heat up time, perfect for those who need their coffee in a hurry. Its integrated steel conical burr grinder allows you to enjoy freshly ground beans without mess or fuss. If you're considering getting into the home barista hobby at the very entry level, and you were thinking along the lines of DeLonghi Dedica, Swan Retry and so on, and doing some modding or buying an aftermarket standard basket portafilter, I'd recommend considering the Bambino instead. I don't think there's anything wrong with the original burr set to be honest, but Etzinger burrs are well known, they're the burrs used in Baratza grinders, so this tends to make home barista users a bit happier, whether it actually produces much difference in cup quality vs the original burrs.

Sage The Oracle Touch Key Features

The Sage Oracle Touch also has an automated rinsing, descaling and cleaning mode, so you can easily keep your machine in top condition. These machines will produce stonking latte art worthy microfoam, so if you're someone who wants to make cappuccino, latte, flat white etc., via a Nespresso machine, I don't think you can get better than the Creatista machines. This might not bother you, I've not actually heard this complaint from many people at all, my dad has the bambino and he's more than happy with the portafilter. I'm just so used to using heavier weight portafilters with metal splitters, that it feels a bit weird using the lighter weight portafilter with the little spouts. By now, I think you’ll have a pretty good idea if the Oracle Touch is for you. In short, if you want to get the absolute most from top-quality coffee beans but simply don’t have the patience or knowledge to handle a fully manual machine, then the Oracle Touch is in a league of its own. Now we are set to make either a single or double shot, simply select what you require and hit “brew”, The Oracle will take care of the rest.
