Breville BES990BSS Oracle Touch Espresso Machine

Owning the Breville BES990BSS Oracle Touch

The Breville Oracle Touch BES990BSS breaks new ground as a bridge between manual and automatic espresso machines. As an update to the Oracle, the Oracle Touch boasts a vibrant touch display, allowing you to scroll through 5 customizable drink options: espresso, long black, latte, flat white, and cappuccino. Just as well, you can save up to 8 personalized drinks; especially useful when there are multiple users with differing tastes. The Oracle Touch has automatic grinding, dosing, tamping and milk texturing, automating the two most difficult parts of manual espresso. You can extract espresso and texture milk simultaneously, enabling you to go from beans to latte in under a minute. This dual boiler espresso machine features a triple heat system comprised of a steam boiler with an integrated heat-exchange and dedicated brew boiler, a built-in grinder and tamping system, programmable shot volumes, automatic rinsing and descaling options, milk frothing controls, PID temperature control, adjustable grind settings, and more. With the Oracle Touch you get nothing less than an all-in-one home espresso solution that combines innovative features with modern technology.

The Oracle Touch brews and steams using two separate boilers to ensure temperature stability and steam pressure. This also means that you’ll be able to brew and steam simultaneously. The Oracle Touch’s settings can be found via the settings button at the top right if your touch screen. Inside, the dose and shot volume of your drinks can be adjusted to your preference. The integrated conical burr grinder automatically grinds, doses and tamps 22 grams for a double shot, similar to the commercial machine in your favorite café. Located on the front of the machine, the main LCD displays the temperature of the boiler as monitored by the Oracle Touch’s PID controller and is accurate within 2 degrees. Using the PID, temperature can be programmed between 190°-205°F. When you begin brewing the PID transitions into a shot timer that counts up from when brewing began.

One of the key advantages to the Oracle Touch is the built-in grinder. The grinder can be adjusted between 40 different fineness settings with a locking mechanism that allows you to grind directly into your portafilter. Based on your preferences you can adjust the total dosage of coffee ground to customize your shots. The Oracle Touch’s grinder is also equipped with an adjustable automatic tamping system that will tamp and level off your coffee for you to keep extraction. The bean hopper on the Oracle Touch holds up to 8oz of whole bean coffee. The hopper can be completely removed and features a bean stopper, allowing you to take it off even when there are still beans inside. The steam wand on the Oracle Touch is truly amazing. Fitted with a powerful 4-hole tip and a temperature probe, you can program the machine to automatically texture your milk on a gradient between a latte and a cappuccino allowing you to make the drinks you want with just a flip of a switch. Alternatively, the Oracle Touch also allows for completely manual frothing so you can hone your barista skills in the comfort of your kitchen.
