Breville has expanded its espresso machine line-up with the launch of Oracle Dual Boiler.

The model is designed for home users seeking both automation and manual control, enabling them to switch between a fully automated workflow and hands-on espresso preparation.

The new machine offers 15 preset café-style drinks, from espresso and flat white to iced lattes and espresso martinis. In auto mode, preparation is reduced to three steps – grind, brew and milk – while manual mode allows greater customisation of pre-infusion, blooming, brewing and milk texturing.

The Oracle Dual Boiler features Breville’s largest touchscreen to date – a 5.7-inch display – alongside Wi-Fi connectivity for remote power-on, reheating and software updates via the Breville+ coffee app.

New to the range is an Auto Dial-In system, which monitors each extraction and automatically adjusts the grind size for the next shot. The integrated grinder uses Baratza European precision burrs with 45 grind settings. A triple heating system enables simultaneous espresso extraction and milk texturing, supported by the Auto MilQ steam wand with dairy and alternative milk settings.

Additional features include a heated group head for temperature stability, a stainless-steel heated cup tray, an updated lighting system, and an automated descaling process.

Con Psarologos, portfolio general manager for coffee at Breville, said: "Breville revolutionized home espresso with the original Oracle in 2014, and with the launch of the Oracle Dual Boiler, we're excited to take that next step in espresso innovation. Combining the best elements of our past models with new features, the Oracle Dual Boiler is our most advanced machine yet – offering home baristas the perfect blend of precision, control and convenience."

The Oracle Dual Boiler will be available in brushed stainless steel, sea salt and black truffle finishes, retailing at $2,999.95 through Breville’s website and selected retail partners.
