Whenever I go to coffee shops where they show how your order is actually made, I think to myself, “I could do that at home!” Then I get home, look at my equipment, and realize I’d be better off just going somewhere that can do it for me. My dream is to eventually have my own fully functional coffee nook at home and the energy and drive to make my own coffee. There are machines that can help you achieve that now, and this newest one from Sage seems like a doozy.

The Sage Oracle Dual Boiler is Sage’s newest high‑end espresso machine, designed to bring café‑level performance into the kitchen. It features two independent boilers, allowing you to pull a shot of espresso while steaming milk at the same moment, eliminating the typical waiting time between brewing and frothing . This dual‑boiler system is a hallmark of professional machines and gives the Oracle a clear edge over single‑boiler models.

Designer Name: Sage

Control is flexible: users can switch between fully automatic and manual modes. In automatic mode the color touchscreen guides you through a menu of 15 preset drinks, handling grinding, dosing, brewing and milk steaming with a few taps . Manual mode unlocks granular adjustments, like for temperature, pressure, flow rate, so enthusiasts can fine‑tune each shot to their exact taste preferences . The machine’s PID temperature control maintains water at the optimal brewing temperature within ±0.1 °C, ensuring consistent extraction shot after shot.

The hardware is built for durability and precision. A professional‑grade 58 mm stainless‑steel portafilter provides a solid seal and even pressure distribution, while the included knock‑box offers a convenient place to discard used grounds . The compact footprint fits most countertops, and the sleek design matches modern kitchen aesthetics. Performance reviews highlight rapid warm‑up. Compared with earlier Sage models, the Oracle reaches brewing temperature in under three minutes, saving time for busy mornings . Energy consumption is also improved, with Sage claiming up to a 32 % reduction versus comparable dual‑boiler machines . Users report that the machine produces a rich, balanced espresso with a creamy micro‑foam when paired with fresh, well‑roasted beans.

Maintenance is straightforward. The dual‑boiler design includes separate cleaning cycles for the brew and steam boilers, and the machine’s removable drip tray and water tank simplify daily upkeep. Sage provides a detailed user guide and offers optional service plans for long‑term support. Overall, the Sage Oracle Dual Boiler targets serious coffee lovers who value speed, precision, and the ability to customize every aspect of their brew. While the price may be steep for casual drinkers, the combination of dual‑boiler technology, intuitive touchscreen operation, and professional‑grade accessories makes it a compelling choice for home baristas seeking café‑quality espresso without stepping outside the door.

I’m a coffee buff but have a limited sense of good coffee. A simple machine keeps me satisfied but a nice brew at a café really tells the difference. I wouldn’t say I’m going to translate into someone keen on brewing specialty coffee at home anytime soon. But if you’ve been yearning for barista-level precision and control over your cup of coffee, you can settle for the new Breville Oracle Jet, which is now available in the US.

A keen coffee machine that can produce hot or cold-press espresso, most of it automatically, the Oracle Jet is Australia-based Breville’s first-of-its-kind option on the market. From how it appears, it’s an impressive coffee machine with a brushed stainless steel finish (available in a range of exclusive colors) featuring a touchscreen display that would let you control it in most cases. Interesting however is the fact that the intuitive machine automatically does the grinding, dosing, and tamping to eliminate the human intervention, yet enhancing the brew quality in return.

What really distinguishes Breville’s new entrant in the world of specialty brewing at home concept is its ability to brew perfect cold espresso drinks. In fact, it’s the first in the Breville’s portfolio that makes cold brew but then the price of the machines really makes me skip a beat. Not that I was going to make an effort to secure finances for purchase, but $2000 for the coffee machine will have many like me deterred and setting in return for a regular drip coffee maker.

This doesn’t at all mean that the Oracle Jet does not have its mouth where the money is. Of course, the price is nothing for a good shot of cold brew espresso that this machine has been designed and manufactured to achieve with little to no effort. A definitely lift up of your stature from a barista visitor to a full-blown coffee specialist at home!

As an auto cold-brew espresso machine, it requires a bit of doing to install it and get the beans and water calibrated. Thereafter the process is pretty automatic and straight-forward. The touchscreen panel onboard is where all the controls are for you to set the grind size, switch between hot and cold brew or add your choice of milk to the coffee. The controls on the screen are generated with the tech-based ‘barista guidance,” and the machine helps execute the moves to brew you a perfect temperature espresso every time of the day.
