Machine Overview

The Breville Oracle Touch is a semi-automatic espresso machine priced at $2799.95, designed for intermediate users. In contrast, the Breville Barista Express Impress, also semi-automatic, is more affordable at $899.95 and is tailored for beginner baristas. Both machines are made by Breville, showcasing the brand's commitment to quality and performance.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Oracle Touch is activated via a touch screen and utilizes a dual boiler system with a heat-up time of 15-30 minutes. The Barista Express Impress, on the other hand, is activated by buttons and features a thermoblock heating element with a quicker heat-up time of 5-15 minutes. Both devices use vibration pump technology, with the Oracle Touch having a steam boiler capacity of 1.8 liters compared to the Barista Express Impress's 1.9-liter water reservoir capacity.

Features Comparison

When examining key features, the Oracle Touch stands out with its integrated grinder, dual PID control, and concurrent brew steam capabilities. It also includes features such as pre-infusion, a shot timer, and a no-burn steam wand. Meanwhile, the Barista Express Impress has an integrated grinder as well but only includes a boiler pressure gauge, while lacking some advanced features like PID degree control and a shot timer. Both machines are designed with auto shutoff features and include hot water functions.
