  • It’s a good machine but mine started to have issues after 2 years once the warranty ended

    • +1

      Luckily, I have a 10 years old one and still functional.

      • Ditto, mine's been flawless…
        Before I bought it, i did some research and there seemed like a lot of resources for repairs online and spare parts.. hope your issue isn't too serious!

      I'd push for assistance anyway. Statutory rights are not limited to a set time period.
      Instead, they apply for the amount of time that is reasonable to expect, given the cost and quality of the item.

      I do not think it is reasonable for a $1,800 coffee machine to only last two years. Push and assert your rights under consumer law correctly, but always be polite.

    • What sort of issues have you been getting and have you been able to resolve them following a service?

      • I’m not sure exactly, but water is coming out of both the hot water spout and group head when pulling a shot. I’m still waiting on a quotation from Breville but they were quite firm and wouldn’t budge regarding warranty even mentioning reasonable time under Australian consumer law

        • Had the same probelm, and at the service centre there were a heap of Breville Oracle machines awaiting repair. The service technician said it is super common, and the new seals they replace with should last a lot longer. Mine was just out of warranty and they honoured it.

        • I'm a bit torn with this one. The seal if it's anything like the Breville Barista express is kinda a consumable part. It's not supposed to last forever. After we repaired the first via an official repairer we did it ourselves, once every year or two. The seals themselves are like $8.

          • @ozbs25: It is 3x the price…

            • @ajr5k: It doesn't matter how much the machine is. I just checked, it's the same group seal that goes in both machines.

    • I had the exact same problem. Breville still honored the warranty at 2 years and 2 months. The place I took it to said the seals and internal pipes are known to break after 2 years, it is easily repairable, but if it lasts 3 years without a seal or pipe bursting then you are very lucky.

    • +2

      Loving my maria personally, getting much better performance with open source coffee

    • +6

      Nah because you’ll need Java beans

      • Some Arabian mocha java, on me.

      When you are scrolling UP from the bottom of the page to read the comments, you see one, and instantly you know with 100% certainty who penned it BEFORE you even see the username.

    • Certainly not, its select ‘x’ from dual (boiler) for me

    • That's really funny 😐

  • Whats the benefit of this machine over the newly released barista touch impress?

    54mm is arguably better than 58mm for extraction.

    • Have a barista express impress myself.

      The impress feature is such a godsend feature. So much faster with the auto dosing and tamper system. Fantastic for someone normally in a rush like me 😂

    • +2

      why is 54mm better? I have an old sunbeam that is reaching end of life and I am about to start shopping, so interested to know if this is something I need to consider.

    • 54mk not necessarily better .. I use a 21g 58mm basket so it's deeper and I get a really shot from the Oracle.

    • Dual boiler? I'm happy enough with my barista pro though.

      • Yea I think having a dual boiler is the only real difference. Potentially more stable temp and ability to brew/steam at the same time.

        For someone considering this deal, I would recommend considering the barista touch impress as well, which is slightly cheaper, has the newer baratza burr, a touch screen, ability to auto steam alternative milks and faster start up.

  • how does this compare to the DeLonghi Opera?

    • this is only semi auto it will grind, and auto tamp you need need to pull the shot and weigh it out but the milk is done automatically or manually you choice. The trick with this machine is to always have the hopper full of beens or you will get inconsistencies in the grind which will throw off your over all extraction. needs that weight to be consistence level let it drop below half. this machine is good for medium and dark roasted beans, don't even try light roast on this machine it destroys it.

    Need dual boiler deal. Seems to be low supply of stock atm

    • look out for a deal on the smart duo (breville dual boiler + breville smart grinder pro) - i got a deal for the duo and sold the smart grinder

    • +1, also waiting for the next deal to go under $1k

  • Surely go a breville dual boiler and the df64 advertised in OzBargain earlier today. Save yourself $400

    • +2

      Breville Duel boilers are quite pricey now from everywhere and very limited stock

  • +1

    Anyone has any idea as to how often one has to do a deep clean of a machine like this? Just curious. Thank you very much!

    • +1

      Dual boiler here, I replace the water filter every year and there’s a warning indicator to descale the machine, I believe it’s based on number of coffees maybe 500.

      5 years of ownership and going strong, if it does go, I’ll try and service it rather than replaced. There’s a huge knowledge Base on internet about it
