It supports a rotary pump and has a brew boiler capacity of 0.2 liters, while its steam boiler capacity is 3.5 liters and a water reservoir capacity of 2 liters. The Breville Oracle, on the other hand, uses an LCD screen for activation and also utilizes a dual boiler system, with a steam boiler capacity of 1.8 liters and a water reservoir capacity of 2.5 liters, having a similar heat-up time of 15-30 minutes.
