Machine Overview

The Breville Oracle Touch is priced at $2799.95 and is designed for intermediate users, while the Breville Barista Touch Impress is more affordable at $1499.95 and targets beginner users. Both machines fall into the semi-automatic category, but they cater to different levels of expertise and budget considerations. The difference in price highlights the advanced features of the Oracle Touch compared to the Barista Touch Impress.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Oracle Touch features a dual boiler system with a heat-up time of 15-30 minutes, activated by a touch screen. Conversely, the Barista Touch Impress utilizes a thermoblock heating element and has a significantly faster heat-up time of less than 5 minutes, activated by buttons. The Oracle Touch has a larger water reservoir capacity of 2.5 liters, compared to the 1.9 liters in the Barista Touch Impress. Both machines use a vibration pump for brewing.

Features Comparison

Key features of the Oracle Touch include an integrated grinder, dual PID control, pre-infusion, and the ability for concurrent brewing and steaming. The Barista Touch Impress also features an integrated grinder, a PID control, and pre-infusion, but lacks some advanced aspects like dual PID control and concurrent brew steam. Additionally, the Oracle Touch includes a shot timer, while the Barista Touch Impress does not. Both machines offer auto shutoff and a solenoid valve.
