The Bottom Line
The best model Breville makes, the Oracle Touch builds on the already-impressive Oracle with more grind settings (45), a beautiful color touch display, and the same 1800W, dual boilers, PID temp control of its predecessor.

Breville Cafe Roma ESP8XL

Breville Cafe Roma ESP8XL
Overall Rating: 85
An inexpensive entry-level espresso machine from Breville, the ESP8XL Cafe Roma is a serviceable model most notable for its durability. But you'll need to upgrade for more consistent extraction and better foam.

Breville Infuser BES840

Breville Infuser BES840
Overall Rating: 87
Breville's least expensive machine with a pressure gauge, the Infuser gives you more control over extraction and steaming than both the Duo-Temp and Bambino models for less than Breville's Barista series machines.

Breville Oracle BES980XL

Breville Oracle BES980XL
Overall Rating: 92
One of the most popular hybrid super/semi-automatics, the Breville Oracle offers an impressive list of high-end features: 40 grind sizes, 84 oz water tank, dual boilers (including HX for steam), PID temp control, and more.
About The Coffee Maven

Bryan De Luca

I'm Bryan but most people know me as The Coffee Maven. I grew up outside Boston, Massachusetts and received my Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry from Providence College. My first introduction to coffee was during my college days, when I used it as a source of caffeine to fuel late-night study sessions, but soon I became obsessed with the chemistry of coffee. How did changes to water temperature or contact time affect its taste? Why do beans from Africa taste fruity while beans from Indonesia taste spicy? I launched The Coffee Maven in February 2017 to explore these questions and help others brew their perfect cup. Welcome to my site, and thanks for reading!
