The Oracle bridges the gap between automated and manual coffee machines by only automating the most complex parts of a manual process. If you're looking for a top of the range home coffee machine that's easy to use, then the Oracle is definitely worth considering. You also have the option customise certain features including water temperature, milk texturising and how strong you want it. This is to help ensure you get the perfect cup of coffee every time.
A lot of standard coffee machines will only grind 11-13g of coffee, therefore they do not taste as rich or full-bodied as a coffee you get from your local coffee shop. The Oracle gives you exactly the right amount of grounded coffee without the unwanted mess, the dose ranges from 19-22g. This dose amount will create a rich, full-bodied taste and with a porta-filter that is provided, you will be able to create great tasting coffee.
The Oracle uses a digital temperature control and a triple heat system, that ensures the temperature is kept at its optimum temperature of 93˚C. This precision technology detects and minimises any fluctuation during extraction, ensuring the temperature is kept constant.
The Oracle also features an overpressure valve which is a commercial feature that limits the maximum pressure throughout the extraction, helping prevent bitter flavours in the shot. It also has true low-pressure pre-infusion, which gradually increases the pressure to gently expand the grinds for an even extraction.
Quite often the sweet milk with microfoam texture can be the perfect finish to a coffee. The Oracle uses the steam wand to automatically texturise your milk to your choosing. Simply choose the temperature and how much foam you would like to accompany your own version of a classic coffee style. For example, if you opt for less texture you can create silky smooth latte and a more texture gives you a great creamy cappuccino.
Another advantage of this coffee machine is you can create the perfect milk whilst brewing your coffee, once you’ve finished with the steam wand, it will automatically clean itself. This whole process minimises waiting time and gives you more time to actually enjoy your coffee in the morning. Not to mention, the personalisation of increasing or decreasing the foam will allow you to create your own latte art.
There's also a One Touch Americano feature which delivers a double espresso, just like a commercial machine would. This is done by filling the cup up with hot water whilst filling the cup with coffee through two separate spouts.
