- Breville Oracle Dual Boiler brews coffee and steam milk at the same time
- It is first launched in Australia for AU $ 4,499 (about $ 3,000 / £ 2,200)
- Global release dates and prices are expected to follow soon
Breville (known as Sage in the UK) has launched a new espresso machine with a double boiler so it can brew coffee and steam milk at the same time – and it has one of the highest price tags I’ve seen for a home manufacturer.
As apparatus retailer reports, Breville Oracle Dual Boiler is launched first in Australia before a wider global release. It is not yet available to buy, but costs AU $ 4,499 (about $ 3,000 / £ 2,200) when it goes on sale at Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi and The Good Guys.
Oracle Dual Boiler is a new big sibling of Breville Oracle Touch, which for a long time had a place in our Roundup of the best coffee machines you can buy for your kitchen.
The new machine has a well -known full color touch screen and offers two different interfaces: a menu -driven option for fast breweries with automation at all steps and a manual state (complete with pressure call) if you want to take control yourself.
Two boilers, four cores
As the machine’s name suggests, its largest point of sale is its double boiler, which means you can brew coffee and texture milk at the same time and don’t have to wait for the boiler to return to pressure before you start using the steam rod.
You can steam milk manually or use Brevilles Automilq system. This is the same technology used in the barista touch, impresses with cold extraction, which I underwent a few weeks ago, and works especially well with plant-based milk such as soy and oats.
This is not Breville’s first machine with two boilers (the original Breville Oracle also had a double cooking system), but it is the first to also offer full automation and touch checks that make it easy for beginners to use-all-driven by a quad-core processor.
I hope to test the Oracle Dual Boiler when it arrives hit in the UK to see how it compares to its rivals (including premium and mid -range coffee machines) and whether it deserves somewhere in Techradar’s Roundup of the best espresso machines.
